HAMMOND %Ny1LL FIGHT IT,
Are Opposed to Taking OFF the Mixed
Train Between Covington and
Hammond.

The Women's Progressive Union
of Covington received a communca
tio from the Progressive Uion of
Hammond calling attention to the
attempt of the Yazoo and Mississippi
Valley Railroad to take off the mixed
train of the Baton Rouge, Hammond
and Eastern road between Covington
and Hammond. The petition will
come up for hearing in April before
the Railroad Commission, and all in
dications point to stubborn resist
ance to the movement. A committee
of the Union will confer with the
town council and petition will be
circulated among the citizens for the
signatures of those who are opposed
to having the train taken off. 1t Is
probable that the town will be rep
resented by attorney and a fight
made to the finish. The impression
is that the request of the railroad
is unjust, and that If granted it
would result in practically no SER
vice by the road.

Superintendent Agnew stated last
night that he would lay all Of the
facts concerning the case before Dis

erintedent Agnew, is a little girl liv-
ing at 229> Patterson street, Algiers,
twelve-year-old Angelina Brooks. She

ABITA TO HAVE LIGHTS.

DR.. L. c. Heintz, member of the
Abita town council, has received an
estimate from a New Orleans house
for the establishment of plant to
furnish acetylene lights for the
town. 1t is claimed that the cost
of these lights will not exceed one
cent per lamp. This method of
lighting would be economical, and
it is expected the matter will be
brought up at the next meeting of
the council and that the plant will
be installed.
