Change In Schedule.

C.. w. Strain, general passen-
ger agent of the Frisco, who
came over from Houston yester-
day, announced big improve
ments in the passenger SEIZED
ules of his line, SAYS the Plea
yune of the 18th. I'VE are ar
ranging a change in the SEIZED
ules of some of our trains, to be-
come effective next Sunday"
said Mr.. Strain, and we think
that these changes will prove of
considerable benefit to the bust
ness interests of New Orleans
and the citizens of eastern Lou
isiana as well. Mo-, the Gulf
Coast Special. will become the
last train out of Houston for
New Orleans, and will arrive at
the Terminal Station each day
at 10:45 o'clock in the forenoon,
running about one hour and
thirty minutes later than at the
present time.
The schedule will give the
people of Eunice, Opelousas,
Baton Rouge a full shopping day
in New Orleans. Westbound
the schedule of the Gulf Coast
Limited is unchanged, leaving
New Orleans at ITO in the even
ing and arriving at Houston at
7:55 the next morning. This
train will return the eastern
Louisiana people to their homes
reasonably early.
Only minor changes will be
made in the local schedules.
Since the establishing in New
Orleans of the general Offices of
our company, the Gulf Coast
Special business has been going
forward in leaps and bounds,
and results are amazing. We
are making all our purchases
here, and New Orleans seems to
appreciate our patronage, and
we are certainly grateful for the
manner in which the people show
this appreciation.

Melville, La, Nov. 6. 1918.

Mr.. Editor.
The ceaseless and merciless
revolutions Of the wheels Of time
have ushered us out in the month
of November regardless of the
high price Of meat, the shortness
Eof the crops and the canine tribe
generally, Notwithstanding those
things there seems to be a
thrill of life in the town. There
are several houses with new
roofs, and other repairs are be-
ing made. Mr.. Mcneil is having
his house reprinted and his
premises generally renovated.
There are other parties who are
having the bitches cleaned out in
front of their yards, and there is
talk of more business houses
starting up. The Ladies Aid So
ciety have had the Methodist
cemetery cleaned off and are
having a new fence built around
it.
The Melville High School is
moving on nicely and is doing
work, which is indicated by the
following averages for the month
of October, to-Wit:
Byne Richard. SO Sd; Viola
Shamp, 90 IL; Lena Kimball,
80 1-2, in the 7th grade. Edna
Fennel. 81 1-2; Jessie Shamp,
90 Ia and Ruth Swami. 81 3-8.
in the 9th grade, and there are
similar averages in the other
grades.
The progressiveness of a coun-
try or town is indicated by the
character of it's schools, its
churches and its public high
ways. Our school will show for
itself.
Mr.. C. ]. Thompson, the Par
ise School Superintendent, was
a visitor TO Melville yesterday.
He was on his way to Shreveport
to attend the State Fair. MIR
Thompson expresses many school
ideas that we heartily endorse.
I wonder If there are any we'd
ding bells going to ring soon.
We will wait and see.

This Is five days earlier than II was

will be directed TO that end
The squad OF men to leave will In

Deal, both OF whom have signed their
contracts and asked to be allowed to
be at Gulfport as early as possible.
After the first bunch arrives I'm

been a stickler about having his ex-
