Mr.. A. E. Green has gone to Memphis

Mrs. Mamie L. Hopkins, of Natchez
was visitor to st. Joseph this week.
Capt. Linnsay and Mr.. w. H. Ally

Members of the School Directors will
bear in mind that the School Board meets

Mr.. G. r. Darden, the hustling cotton
seed buyer Of st. Joseph, is now adyer-
Using to pay the best market price for
cow-peas.
The st. Joseph Drug Co. is making a
speciality OF Plow's and Johnston's can
dies. The soda fountain is also open for
the season with the most delicious soft
drinks.
Mr.. Morris Melz, of New York City,
has located in st. Soseph and formed CO.
partnership with Mr.. Sam Leiboyitz lin
the dry goods and grocery business in the
Steen building.
Messrs. Ell. Hamley & Son, real estate
dealers of Lake Providence, have enquir-
les from clients for timber lands running
heavily with gum. They will be glad to
hear from any who may have gum tim
Der to dispose of.
The general health of the community
contiguous to and adjoining st. Joseph
at this time is said to be fairly good,
though there were several cases of meas
els reported in town last week, but which
now seem to have passed as no new cases
are heard of. We understand the mumps
are still raging at Waterproof, but with
less fury than some time since.
The streets about St. Joseph, and in
fact the roads throughout the parish, are
all in good condition and make travel by
automobile popular. Some Of the side
walks in town, however, are beginning
to show the effects of wear, while the
walk in the lane between the Pasternac
and Bondurant residences is getting so
dilipidated that it will soon be danger
Gus, and broken leg might cost the
town considerably more than new side
walk.
The entertainment given at the Hall on
Wednesday night by the Ladies' Guild Of
st. Joseph for the benefit OF Christ Church
was complete success in every detail.
The noted Swedish humorist and enter
tainer, Mr.. Karl Jansen, was at his best
and captivated the audience with his re-
markable wit and histrionic talent dis
played in impersonating such prominent
characters as ex-President Roosevelt,
Senator Ben Tillman and other Ameri-
cans who have been conspicuously in the
line-light Of popular favor. Mr.. Jansen's
description Of his native country, which
he graphically describes as ''The Land of
the Midnight Sum-" its people and their
customs, was greatly enjoyed. His inn
personation of Shakespeare characters
revealed careful study and keen interpre-
tative power. His entertainment was re-
ceived with great pleasure by the entire
audience, upon whom he made most ex-
cellent impression.
Immediately following Mr.. Jsnsen's
lecture the floor was cleared for dancing,
which was continued until the ''wee
sma' hours" A sumptious and most de-
licious supper was served on the stage
and beautiful cake voted to the most
popular young lady present. The cake
was awarded to Miss Mabel Couvillon OF
the faculty of the St. Joseph High School.
SO much interest was manifested in this
race, and the competition so keen, that
nearly thousand votes were polled, the
neat sum of 5000 being realized. The
net proceeds Of the entertainment were
very satisfactory.
