LOUISIANA GROWS
FINE CAULFLOWER
Experimental Farm At Baton
Rouge Produces Luscious
Specimens.

Great and luscious are terms
which modestly apply to samples
Of the Louisiana eaulif1ower,
which have come to New Orleans
friends of the Louisiana State
University with the compliments
Of w. R. Dodson, dean and di-
rector of the College of Agricul-
ture and Agricultural Expert
ment Stations.
About fifteen thousand head Of
this delightful table luxury are
growing for shipment at the
Louisiana experimental stations,
which gives some idea Of the
adaptability of Louisiana soil for
the production of this highly
profitable vegetable fruit. It is
said also that Louisiana farmers
hare had splendid results from
the seasons crop all over the
state.
The particular eaulifoWer that
has been found SO toothsome by
0rleanians, who were fortunate
enough toreceive remembrances
from Prof. Dodson, were grown
on the state farm, near Baton
Rouge: In quality and in size
these specimens bespeak great
possibilities for Louisiana farm
ers N. O. States.

NEGRO SLAYER LYNCHED
Slayer james Norman Expiates
Bloody Crime With
Life.

Nom Cadore, convicted slayer
of James Norman, at a late hour
Sunday night was taken out of
the West Baton Rouge parish
jail, presumably by citizens of
that parish, and lynched.
Gadore's body was discovered
at dawn next day by a passing
crew Of the Texas & Pacific
dangling from a telephone pole
on the railroad right of way not
far from the Jail door. The
dripping body was the only sign,
save the broken lock on the jail
door, that a mob had come and
gone.
Sheriff Parker was notified OF
the lynching at an early hour
and Immediately communicated
with coroner NJ. w. Levert. Dr.
Leyert reached the scene about
10 o'clock and after he had in-
paneIed a jury the body was cat
down.
The verdict Of the coroner $
jury, in brief, was ais follows:
That Nom Cadore met his
death at the hands of unknown
parties. The deceased was hot
after being strung to a telephone
pole, said shots entering left ear
and fracturing neck at base Of
the skull. 2

II Memory OF
Robert Hart Fernberg
nlea nae, IN eqg2

As twilight began to gather
On that dreary Friday eve,
And shadows began to
lengthen,
Out among the stately
trees,
In the sick room, loved ones
fingered.
Watching there, with aax
ious hearts,
As Death cold and clanly
fingered
Claspetl the form Of Rob
ert Hart.
He seemed to be strong and
healthy
But now his manly form
lies low;
Pneumonia comes with steps
so stealthy,
And sOWs her seed before
You know,
Like strong young oak, he
seemed to stand,
Too strong to be reached by
death s cold hand,
But when elasped iii pneurnon-
Ia ) treacherous clutch,
He yielded up Life s golden
cup.
As loving brother now is gone
An fndulgent uncle, passed
beyond,
As congenial friend IS now no
more,
A vacant place is iii the
store.
Kind and generous, good and
true,
A eongenial friend, a noble
Jew,
But Jew Of Gentle. bond or
free,
II matters not to you or me.
Upright and honest, he has
honor won,
And will be missed BIZ every
one.
In the midst Of life, We are
in death.
God kissed away his parting
breath.
His spirit scared to our God III
heaven,
To find the peace for n
he had striven:
His body was laid in the silent
grave,
Ger which sweet flowers
and grasses viii wave.
God grant that his soul may
rest Id peace
From pain sorrow e2er re-
leased;
May his body rest sweetly III
the silent tomb,
III the trumpet S cali shall
3id him come

EIks Provide for Tots.

As is customary every year
Santa Claus was right on the
dot on Christmas day at the
Elks' home when four o'clock
struck. The Elks had arranged
q Christmas tree for the little
tots and from the time old Santa
landed he did not stop handing
toys to the hundred of little
folks, who had gathered at the
Elks' home, until all the toys
were distributed. The affair
was indeed a success and it is
hard to say which enjoyed the
occasion the most, the young
folks or the generous EIks.

SEED HOUSE OF EBNCE
COTTON OIL MILL
BURNS.

The seed house of the Eunice
Cotton Oil Mill and two cars of
seed were destroyed by fire early
Christmas morning. The mill is
situated forty feet away from
the seed house and it was only
through the hard work of q
bucket brigade and the use OF
the fire mill pump that it was
saved. Tramps are believed tC
have set the place afire. The
loss is estimated at $50, 600 and
is partly covered by insurance.
The building was a tWo-story
structure and was built in 1907.
The election for the tax for the
extension of the Sewerage dis
trict on east GroIee street, was
carried unanimously on last Tues
day, there being five votes for
and none against. As one Of
the residents Of the extended dis
trict aptly says: It is the first
time in the history of Opelousas
that a tax proposition was car
ried without opposition. =
Mr. Lawrence A. Bode1nuller,
wife and little son, jerome, after
an absence of nearly three years
in the North and West, have re-
turned to Opelousas. Lawrence
has accepted a position with his
father, Mr.. E. A. Bodemuller, in
the Gem barber shop.
Major Stewart lost a valuable
horse on Christmas eve night and

gent with a stronger appetite
for syaller- legged chicken than

on Christmas night and got
away with them.

THE PRINCESS
!. B A BY SHOW
Exciting Contest Closed Sat
urday, Dec. 21st.

inaugI1rated by the Princess Ine-
atre thirty days ago came to a
close ON last Saturday night.
Seventy babies were entered,
and we might add that. although
only three were winners, a
handsomer collection of little
tots would have been hard to
find. In the beginning Of the
contest the voting was rather
slow, but after the third week
considerable interest was mani
tested and the voting became
spirited. The test for supremacy
soon narrowed down to about a
half dozen, and at the close on
Saturday night it was found that
the following three babies had
won the prizes in each instance
being a geld locket and chain
with engraved initials:
Georgia Evelyn Shu6e, daugh-
ter of DR.. and Mrs. T. G. Shute,
1st prize for largest number Of
votes received, 448, 700 votes.
Golden E. LassalIe, daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs. G. Z. Lassalle,
winner in the three-year-old
class Al, 500 votes.
Julius A. Junge, Jr., son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Junge, winner in
Is months class $780, $50 votes.
The baby show was a de-
cided attraction at this popular
amusement place, and Manager
Nolan is well pleased with the
result.
The Spirit OF christopher Col
umbns.
It is a pleasing circumstance
that Of recent years the Ameri-
can people are ascribing more
and more Importance to October
the twelfth, as the day on which
their birth-land was discovered.
and are rendering a more gener-
ous tribute to the memory of
Christopher Columbus. Scores
of cities observed that day with
unusual heartiness, and in
thirteen states it was set aside as
d legal holiday.
There was never q time more
truly keyed to the spirit that led
the great admiral to brave I'M
pathed waters than the present
decade, and never a country
where that spirit was more alert
than our own. This is an age Of
bold adventuring and discovery
On the earth itself there are Few
corners left to explore; even The
farthest north has been COM
passed by an American. But
nature still holds vast dominions
that are unchartered and IN
known. Scienceis sending forth
her caraveIs and in hundreds Of
laboratories some quiet Columbus
is faring on his voyage.
In aviation alone things are
being attempted and done that
are epoch making The slow
and toilsone conquest of the sea
is being repeated in the air.
New realms for human activity
are unfolding. Men are dream
ing, and not altogether yalnly by
any means, of a flight from the
New World to the Old.
Of this far-seeking and hardy
spirit the great Italian who
crossed the unknown Atlantic
over four centuries ago was a
perfect type. e is well that his
name should bear a human as
well as historic charm to the peo-
pie Of the continent he brought
to light.
