ale the main ones that will bring the
nest money, and particularly the
most people here, to make the
bridge and railroads or trolley lines

ating the extra value of land and
improvements, and they should be
the ones that should have ell those
bentfits in stock in the bridge and
the railroads or trolleys along the
different lines selected as their shares
create, and the parish and New Or

Hoping these suggestions will re-

HAZEL k|RKE
A BIG SUCCESS
Play Given by the Order of
the Eastern Star.
Eight Hundred People Wit
ness the Performance.
An Array of Local Talent to
be Proud of.
The Performance Will be
Repeated in Slidell.

Financially and as an enjoyable
entertainment of the production OF
Hazel Kirke, under the auspecies OF
the Order of the Eastern Star, was
the most successful undertaking in
amateur theatricals that has been
placed before Covington audience.
Miss Ads has added to her reputa-
tion as an actress the peculiar puali-
ties of a successful organizer with
unsual executive ability. The parts
were assigned with view to meeting
the characteristic traits of each actor
and bringing into the different parts
the experience of former efforts in
theatrical entertainment. The play
is one that has taxed the abilities OF
profession actors, and to say that II
was successfully produced by local
amateurs is high praise and q COM
pliment to our home talent. While
the popularity of the order for whose
benefit it was given may have swell
e | the immense audience that greet
ed the rising of the curtain, nothing
but the true merit of the perform
ance could have elected the hearty
applause that was saccOrded the act
ing, and while there were special ef-
forts that may be deserving of par
ticular mention, we do not feel In
ciined, in view of the able efforts
of each one, to make distinction.
1t is enough to say that the audience
were delighted with the performance
and expressed the delight in rere-
peated applause. There were at least
eight hundred people present, and
Bogue Falaya Park presented some
what the appearance it did when
the bridge meeting was held. The
tnet profits of the entertainment were
about $225. ..
Miss Corine Poole received the
handsome bracelet as the winner OF
the subscription contest, having sold
|S53 25 worth of tickets. Miss Mary
Johnson received the second prize, a
garnet ring, for having sold $19.7 D
worth of tickets. The waltz prize
was won by Mr.. Arnold Dulion and
Miss May Poole A beautiful cut
glass bowl, valued at $40, was cap
trred by John Diendorf.
Hazel Kirke will be reproduced In
slidell on August %, the Siidell
chapter of the Eastern Stars having
expressed beside to that effect,
and Slidell people will have an op-
pcrtunity to witness this excellent
performance.
The scenery was set by Frank
Boudousquie, who gave his services
without charge, and he showed ex-
eellent taste in its arrangement, the
work being most effective. Miss
| Flossie Smith, in the cast of Dolly
button, received beautiful bouquet
of flowers from her admirers in the
audience.
| The committee of arrangements,
| composed of Mrs. J. B. Wortham
Mrs. j. T. White and E. G. Del Corral
wish to extend special thanks to Miss
Alma Ads and her able cast for their
services in making the entertainment
such grand success. Also thanking
Miss Heen Ratio, Mrs. E. H. Walsdorf
Miss A. Boudousquie, Mr.. c. Bulah
Mr.. Ed. Barirnger, Mr.. Frank Bou
dousquie, and all others who parti
cipated.

wOMAN's LOVE FOR SILK HOSE.

A woman's love for silk stockings
has separated one family at McComb
City. Miss, and caused considerable
riff, in another, although it is still
hanging together. Although the in
cidents causing the dimestic distub-
ances all happened in NcComb City,
the principals all came to New Or
leans, where the facts became known.
Fred Harms, deserted husband,
his wife, Nora, her two children, and
Felix Lueg are the principals in the
case. Mr.. Harms is posing as the
victim, naming Lueg as his wife's
friend, while Mrs. Lueg, for the sake
of her own family, has apparently
forgiven her husband.
Woman's Perfidy Alleged.
The exposure was the result of a
visit of Mrs. Harms, accompanied by
Mrs. Lueg, to the Office of Thos. G..
Agnew, superintendent of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chill
dren, last Saturday. Here Mrs. Harms
told story of having been deserted
By her husband at Birmingham two
months ago. Supt. Agnew made a
ncte for investigation. On Tuesday
man entered his Office looking for
his wife and two children, who, he
alleged, had deserted him at McComb
City. The man proved to be Harms,
and Mr.. Agne wat once detected an
African in the wood pile, and. un-
known to each other, arranged for
them to meet in his Office Wednesday
afternoon. Here it was learned that
lit was Mrs. Harms who had left her
home in McComb, after she and Lueg
had been confronted by her husband
| there.
Children Bones of Contention.
| Mrs. Harms acknowledged that
Lueg had made her presents of silk
stockings, and made uncompliment-
ary references to her husband. Harms
further charged that Lueg was sup.
