Returned From EAST Texas.

NJ. H. James, Jr., returned last
night from Scottsville in East Texas
where he has been experimenting the
gathering of peaches on a 130O-acre
Elberta orchard. Five hundred hands
were employed in the work and 10000
bushels were gathered. The work
could not be done fast enough and
several car loads were lost in the
field. This is said to be the largest
peach orchard in the world and this
was its banner crop.

If every one who had property to
sell followed the plan of advertising it
continuously and persistently UNTIL
1T is SOLD, no one would ever teel
property poor" And, while occasion

"The Confession" will be presented at the Elks Theater ill this city on Monday, October T.. The play will be presented here under the auspices of the local Knights of Columbus organ ization. Writing to John T. Pearsall, manager of the company, V. M. Eckec, of Louisville. Ky, says o thfe pro- duct on.
 Referring to your show The Con- fess!on,' which you produced in our city. on the 22nd 23rd and .24th, in connection with the Jefferson County Branch, of American Federation Of Catholic Societies, am pleased in having the opportunity, as member of the committee of the Federation, to highly recommend same to both Cathoic and Catholic, as l consid- CT it the best I have ever seen from moral and educational standpoint.
 "The plot of the play affords bril- iant opportunity of reminding the peo- ple of our faith, and presenting to those not of our faith, what rea Catholicity is.
 Since you presented it here, have talked to several priesest and heard the comments of others, wht witnessed it while in our city and in each instance it was highly spok- en of, and quoting the words, of 'pn' of our priests, It is pity that more of our Faith have not had the oppor tunity of witnessing it.
 q also desire to take this opportun ity of experimenting you upon youl success of having such a splendid To of performers to produce same.

In every stage of life big things are dependent upon little things. This applies to the world of the canvass shows as much as to any other Frank Gentry, of Gentry Brothers All New Feature shows, which will visit this city Tuesday, Oct. l, was, in child hood, like all other boys. He had am- bition to be show man and an cX- perience had with one of his brothers imbued him with the idea that when he owned show, or an interest in one, it would not allow any short change men, grafters, or other dis orderly characters to follow it.
 Il was ten years old said MT. Gen try, when the first show of any size came to my town. My father gave me the price of two tickets and a great big silver dollar. With my brother I went to the show Like all boys l was enthralled by the magnitude and mystery of the big attraction.
 About the middle of the perform ance man came around selling pea nuts, lemonade, candy, and such stuff, our boyish palates coveted the lux uries. dug up the dollar and hand ed it to the man. 1 took about ten cents worth of stuff and my brother did likewise. However, the snowman did not know how to figure. He put the dollar in his pocket and I got no change.
 "l had always wanted to own a circus. In after years my brothers and myself started show along lines that were new. We appealed to the public, gave them value received. In the score or more of years that we have been in business not patron has been short changed, nor the con- fidence of a youngster betrayed.
 And do you know,' he continued, we attribute more tosof our success to that fact than to any other one fea- ture of our shows?'
 Gentry Brothers shows have always made speciality of catering to ladies and children. The children that they delight daily range in age from three to ninety- three years. For this day only admission is reduced to 25 and 8 cents.

--s.- Senator. Elect Randall of Louisiana, Tells .a, inception of hakes.to Cult Association.

<
 James E. Randall. United States senator elect from Louisiana, who is looked upon as the father of the Lakes -to-the-Gulf Deep Waterway project. passed through Pine Bluff last evening en route to Memphis, where he will deliver an address before the Levee Convention. MT. Randall was interviewed at the Union Station by a representative of the Graphic and talked interestingly of the founding of the Deep Waterway Association, which is now in convention at Little Rock,
 Mir. Randall, who served fourteen years in the House of Representatives before he was elevated to the Senate, said he had promised to speak at the Levee Convention before he learned that the date conflicted with that of the Deep Waterway Convention al Little Rock. but that he would at- tend the latter if he could ge away from Memphis in time.
 The idea of deeper channel through the Mississippi valley was conceived. Mr. Randall said. in 1900 at a meeting held in the interest of locks and dams wanted on the Qua chita river. The Lakes-to-the-Guli Deep Waterway Association met fol the first time at Monroe La.. in the same year. Col. A. 8. Morgan. now dead. was its first president The As sociation has rapidly grown to it's present proportions. which are limit. ed only by the boundaries of the country.
 The senator elect was accompanied by a delegation from his home town Lake Providence.
