Clever Entertainment Scheduled.

What promises to be one Of the
most unique and interesting enter.
tainments ever given in this city is
the baby show to be presented at
the Gondran Theatre next Wednes-
day night, for the benefit of Supt. J.
L. Rusca's candidacy in the Times
Democrat automobile contest. The
event has created keen interest, and
it is in the nature.of a foregone con
c1usion that the size Of the audience
will be limited only by the capacity
CT the playhouse. An unusually
clever and novel entertainment is
anticipated, and from the few de-
tails OF the exhibition that have been
permitted TO leak out, it is Judged
the expectations of the public in
this regard viii be more than real
lied. The show viii be under the
management Of Miss Dora Kaffie,
assisted by Misses Clara Stuart and

a coIored Mans Tribute to Richard
Mccall

Donaldsonville, La, May Is. 1918.
Editor Chief:
Please allow me space in your
valuable paper to say a word about
the death of our master and friend,
Col. Richard Mccall. The great
monster, Death, has robbed us Of a
dear friend and called him into eter-
nifty. I'm quite sure / voice the SEN
timent of the negro citizens OF AS
cension when l say we intensely Ia
ment his loss.
Mr. Mccall did not ask of man
his color Or cut, but what he could
do. He is gone beyond the tide of
time. We will miss him, for his
kindly aid and good advice we high,
ly appreciated, and through them we
enjoyed blessings Of which others
were deprived.
Sleep ON and take thy rest. It is
our loss, but Heavens gain. Rest
on, and may thy sleep be a peaceful
one. Respectfully,
g W.T. .G0N

1918 Flood Scare Over.

Apprehension over the flood situa
ton has practically ceased to exist
due to the fact that the river il
falling slowly but steadily all along
the line and will soon be within its
banks. The gauge at Donaldsonville
read 31.7 feet this morning, a de
cline Of one foot from the highest
mark recorded. Last years maxi
mum was 34.s feet, FL feet higher
than the 1913 crest.
With the river on its good behavior
and the crops rounding into fine
shape, things are looking up in this
section, and feeling of optimism
and hope prevails. If congress
would only let the sugar industry
alone. or at least not put it com
pletely out of business by drastic
tariff legislation, we could feel at
this time that .'All's well with the
world.
