A Farmer Writes
LaSalle. Feb. l5. |

We are pleased to receive the
Tribune aud read the news OF pro-
Ersss, and n we'll as the failures.
for We must consider both in order
to be wise. We as farmers are
thankful to have the privilege OF
the press to say few words OF en-
couragement for the general well
fare OF us AZ the foundation OF all
business and general welfare OF the
nation. We feel encouraged to know
that there is q general awakening
all over the country among the
Farmers' Union OF America. and that
farmers are awakening as never be-
fore and getting t gether to con-
slider the mutual benefits that can be
derived by the Union; OF coming to-
gether to consider the right of get
for our labors upon the farm. The
time has come when we should have
a say in what we produce and in
the sale of our production. We are
also glad to say that the Union does
not demand anything only what is
fair and right. and I do not want
to tear down or stop any business
that 10 for the right and upbuilding
of the country. and we ask farm
ers all over the country to come out
and learn what can be done In ad-
vancing production as we'll as selling
our produ ction. Equal rights is not
wrong. We are also glad to know
that the old saying OF the past that
when a man is good for nothing else
they would make farmer of him.
The time has come when to be an
up-to-date farmer he must be indus
trious and we'll educated along all
lines and the calling Is now being
considered as one OF honor. and
should have a standing among any
profession OF the land. We should
be pleased to hear from farmers or
others that want to say something
about the foundation business OF all
businesses. Truly yours,
A FARMER.

Mt. Herman Notes.

Last Tuesday, August q, the
relatives and friends of Mrs.
Belinda James met at the James
homestead, now owned by &. G. |
James, to celebrate her 92nd
birthday. Speeches were made
by Dr.. J. J. Afford and Pon. D.
R. johnson. A bountiful dinner
was served in the grove. Al
brass band was present and fur
nished music for the occasion.
The history of her life aud her
family as given by Hon. l.. p.
Pierce, of Sunny Hill, seems like
a romance. Her father, VIM.
Dyson, was born in Maryland in
IT'S, just one year before the
signing of the Declaration of In.
dependence, and was of WEIGH
decent. He was a carpenter and
school teacher and went to
Georgia. where he met Miss
Cecilia Bankston, whom he mar
ried. Some years after their
marriage they moved to Bledso
County, Tenn, where Mrs.
James was born in 1919. She
came to Louisiana with her
parents the following year,
where she has ever since lived.
She was married to Mr.. John
James when seventeen years of
|age, with whom she lived until
his death several years ago.
Since then she has lived with her
son, G. G.. James. on the old
homestead. She is the mother
lof nine children, SIX daughters
and three sons, three daughters
and me son of whom are living
and has a number of grand
children md great.grandchild'
rem, 1t is said that she was
quite a belle in her day and was
very fond of dancing. This Can
readily be believed, for during
the celebration when The bano
played some lively air she woui'
dance as lightly as a girl ct six
teen. She has seen the country
from the war hoop of the savages
to the highest state of civilization
and is a living link between the
days of the pioneers and the
present.

The Piano Contest.

From our edition OF last week
we omitted much that related to
this contest. In justice to all
parties concerned we state that
we were unusually pressed for
space and pushed with work.
But owing to the fact that MIR.
Doremus did not send in his copy
until a little while before our
time for closing our forms We
could get in only the list of the
leaders.
We are informed that notwith-
standing the inclement weather
during the past week on last
Wednesday Peoples Drug Co. did
a banner business with their
piano contest. The demand for
the vote.coupons going with the
ten. cent sales, the sales of trading
books, the mailing lists of names
of living persons and the many
bargains offered that day yielded
large results.
We hear that many persons are
carrying around, in their pockets,
or have put away at their homes,
vast numbers OF coupons good for
votes in the piano contest. This
ELECTS the question to some CT our
readers, who are contestants,
have you been diligent in solicit.
ing vote-coupons among your
friends?
Respecting the trading books
we are informed that Mr.. Doremus
the manager Of the drugstore, has
declared that each book of trading
coupons sold by any contestant
will be fully guaranteed to be
promptly redeemed.
The teu-cent sale, carrying with
it l 900 votes was repeated yester'
day wednesday,. Next We'd
nesday a 50-cent sale carrying
with it 5000 votes will be on. In
the meantime sundry bargains
are being offered to the casual
tbuyer. So it will repay any con-
testant to urge her friends to
make frequent calls at Peoples
Drug Co. Prescriptions are
exempt from any bonuses-they
bring the usual one vote per cent.
This is done to avoid giving
encouragement to the liquor
traffic.
The ten leading contestants
are shown in the bulletin for the
eleventh week, ending Aug. 30,
are as follows:
