Important Action by the Police Jury.
The police jury of Grant parish
this week held a three days ses-
sion, and transacted a large
amount of important business, a
portion of which will be found
on our first page. They are
thoroughly alive in all matters
of progress, and take particular
interest in the building of our
good roads, the construction Of
steel bridges, etc. They have
authorized the president to con-
tract for the building of a new
steel bridge across Bayou Darro,
on the model road, and arranged
for the purchase of IL steel road
drags, with which the model
roads of the parish are to be kept
in shape. The Chronicle returns
them thanks for again electing it
to do the parish printing.

A New Back for an Old One. How 1t
Can be Done in COlfax.

The back aches at times with dull,
unacceptable feeling, making you
weary and restless; piercing pains
shoot across the region of the kidneys,
and again the loins are so lame that to
stoop is agony. No use to rub or APP
ply plaster to the back if the kidneys
are weak. You cannot reach the cause.
Colfax residents would do we'll tdprofit
by the following example.
Mrs. Lizzie Denning, 9O5 w. Division
St., Jennings, La, says: About seven
years ago l suffered severely from back
ache and as the result, was unable to
do anything for some time. After that
l was subject to similar attacks, the
weakness coming on suddenly. All
strength in my loins seemed to leave
me and my body often bloated. This
gradually grew worse and at times the
swelling was so great as to close my
eyes. / consulted physician and he
said that my kidneys were disordered
but / did not receive relief from his
medicine. l finally procured Doan's
Kidney Pills and since taking them
have felt better in every way. This
remedy has my highest recommends
tion."

Somew hat About Sweet Potatoes.

Somew hat About Sweet Potatoes.
Simms, La, Oct. 8, 1912.
Editor Colta1 Chronicle:
Having read the sweet potato
article in your last Saturdays is
sue, | am taking the liberty of
writing you a few lines, as ! am
flattering myself of being the
best posted person around Simms,
La.
You stated in your article, that
Mr.. James Wall dug two acres of
sweet potatoes, yielding l car of
sweet potatoes, receiving SOC per
bushel. Well, you know, that
there is no man in the whole of
Grant parish who has on two
acres a yield like that! Remem-
Der the dry weather we had and
are having yet. If any farmer
has a yield of one hundred BUSH
els of marketable potatoes on an
acre he surely is an exception,
and you will find only a very few
of them in Grant parish. In re-
gard to the price Mr.. Wall mever
received, 80 cents per bushel. He
received Zoe, and after taking off
shrinkage, sacks, dirt, etc., he
only can figure 81 cents net. Mr..
Wall used to be a member of our
association, but he is not any,
more. Your article also stated,
that Mr.. w. O. Sibley had 80
acres in sweet potatoes, and had
shipped already five cars. MIR.
Sibley is a member of our asso-
citation; he has % acres in sweet
potatoes and has shipped only
241 bushels so far. However he
is digging at present, to ship a
car load by himself next Friday.
The market price for sweet po-
tatoes is to-day Coo per bushel.
If you wish any further infor-
nation about Simms, La, or our
association, / will gladly give you
a good article in order to publish
same in your esteemed paper. l
intend to come to Colfax in a
short time, trying to organize the
farmers of your neighborhood.
/ wish you would kindly take
notice of my letter and publish
in your next issue. Thanking
you in advance for your trouble,
/ remain,
Very respectfully, yours,
A. R. HoLzSCHEITER,
Secretary.

and bought for spot cash a farm
of;80 acres at Simms, La.
I'VE shall be pleased to have a
communication from the best in
formed person around Simms, at
any time he feels like he has
news of importance to write
about. Our article of last week,
to which he refers, was plainly
stated to be information given us
by a young man, MILFORD Jones,
aged II or Is years. He made
it in the presence of Sheriff Per-
kins and other parties. Our
friend need not be surprised at
our being disposed to believe that
465 bushels of sweet potatoes
were raised on two acres of pine
woods land. The thing can GER
tainly be done, and he will soon
find out how to do it. The peo-
pie of this section will bear us
out in this statement, that on
our river bottom lands they fire.
quently raise as many as 800 and
400 bushels of sweet potatoes to
the acre, either of the Yanceman
or the Dooley yam varieties. =

Less Gossip and More Action Needed

Less Gossip and More Action Needed.
+ Simms, La, Oct. 5, 1912.
Editor Collar Chronicle:
Referring to a recent issue in
which you gave an account of a
visit to your town by Mr.. H. c.
Miller of. Simms. and Mr.. VIM.
Hazel, of Garrett, your writeup
stated that Mr.. Hazel's profits
would amount to $500 from his
pine woods farm this year.
This statement has caused no
little gossip in this community.
and it is believed that possibly
it was a typographical error, as
it is hardly expected for such an
unreasonable boost to appear in
our parish paper. 1t is believed
that you probably meant to say
$25, which is more nearly correct.
To the reading public your state
ment would sound very promis-
ing, and it is calculated to disap-
point some prospective emigrant.
In fact, is liable to do them harm.
1t is well known fact, that
while we have a good, healthy
country, it is very poor, and it
would take the average farmer
several years to accumulate that
amount from his farm with moth
ing added.
Now friend Goodwin, it is not
my purpose to under estimate
our lands in this community, but
you certainly do know that truth
shines in a newspaper as well as
in heaven, and nothing was ever
gained for a community by false
representations.
Mr.. H. C. Miller is taking the
lead in farming, but he is not get
ting rich. neither does he expect
to get rich upon such land as we
have in this section, worth in va
lue all the way from rs cents to
SIS. 90 per acre.
Our German friends are pro-
crossing about equal with our
native settlers. Some of them
are hauling cord wood for a liv-
ing, while others are doing some
better. AS a whole they class
favorably with our best southern
farmers. With best wishes and
kindest regards, | am,
Yours truly,
S. w. LACRoIx.
THE statement in the Chroni-
Gle two weeks ago about Messers.
Miller and Hazel was a little mix
ed as to the profits of each man,
but there was no great error
about the facts of the case. Mr..
Hazel tells us he counts on about
$1,000 profits this year from his
mercantile and farming opera
tons, the biggest part of it being
from his farming operations.
He only farmed on several acres
of his own land this year, but
had a share in twice as much
more with some neighbors, and
he counts on a decided profit from
all of it, Notwithstanding the fact
