the rounds OF the state for that progressive daily. They were ef-

Plaza boy during the first year of our existence as a village.
,# These Scouts are going to every county seat in the state and Will
make a tour of $500 miles when their journey is done. They will
stop at all the towns along the route and solicit subscriptions and
give each town a writeup which will appear in the Tribune. The
b0ys were very successful here in securing a good lot Of business
and in securing information of the early days here. The TribuneN
is one Of the best papers in the U. S. for a city the size of Bis.

Better Paint

Better paint this year if your proper
ty needs it. Mistaken men have been
waiting for paint to come down. The
cost of their job has gone up not down;
it always goes up by waiting; never
comes down.
Better paint than Devoe? There is
not any.
Suppose one had waited 20 or 30years
ago for better paint than Devoe; how
long would he have waited? How long
would he still have to wait?
The price gallon makes some diff
ference; yes, but not much; it's the
paint that counts; the quality counts.
It's the go far that counts. Pro-
lection of property counts more yet.
Better paint.

The School Tax Amply Explained.

We have been asked to give an ex-
PLANTATION of the proposed five mills tax
in aid of the schools. This is entirely
unnecessary on our part, as we are
printing in this issue of the Chronicle
articles that cover the subject from al
most every view point in its favor that
we could mention. We therefore refer
our readers to the articles from Mr.
n. l.. Brian and Supt. j. N. Warner,
as giving full and ample explanation
yof the matter.
/, The only comment we will make, is
that they are all good strong arguments
AS to why every true hearted and fair
minded citizen should work for and
support the parish wide tax. Read
these articles, and also the petition and
Ordinance to be voted on, which will be
found on the fourth page of the Chroni-
Gle, and then if any citizen can give any
reason why he believes it best to vote
against the proposed tax, we shall be
pleased to print his views on the sub
ject.
We invite full and free discussion
of this matter, and will give place to
all communications that we have room
to accommodate, whether for or against
the tax. We make only one request,
and that is that each writer shall try
to confine himself within five hundred
words, and in no case to exceed one
Thousand words about one column.

A Killing Near Kadesh.

Last Saturday night, July 26, about
IL o'clock, John Boggs, aged 80, struck
Tom Elkins, aged Sc, with a piece of
scantling on the head, knocking him in
sensible, and from the effects of which
Elkins died Sunday afternoon. Boggs
is reported to have attended the camp
meeting at Ebenezer, two miles away,
and on returning to his boarding house
late that night he found Elkins, who
had been drinking. engaged in quar-
rel with the landlady and some of the
women folks. Boggs interfered in be-
half of the women, with the result that
he became himself involved in the diff
Guilty, during which he struck Elkins
the blow from which he died.
Boggs surrendered Sunday evening
to Deputy E. w. Rodgers, who brought
him to Colfax that night, and he has
been lodged in jail pending an investi-
cation of the facts.

The Iatt Oil Company, Limited.

Among our advertisements this week
will be found the charter of the Iatt
Oil Co., Ltd, domiciled at Colfax. Its
capital stock is fixed at 500. 900. of
which S., 600 in cash has been paid in,
and the company is now in active BUSH
ness, having already obtained leases on
nearly twenty thousand acres of land.
This company has among its stock
holders some of the wealthiest and best
known oil men of the country, such as
DR.. T. A. Simms, F. w. Offenhauser,
H. H. Williams, j. r. Dale, P. j.
O'Dwyer, j. R. Dale and Louis He'll
bron, of Texarkana, John A. Barlow,
of Natchitoches, Capt. C. H. Teal, of
Colfax, and others.
The organization of this company
marks period of development for Col
fax and vicinity without any question.
We have here numerous and decided
indications of gas and oil, that were
we'll known and recognized long before
oil was discovered at Beaumont and in
the Caddo oil fields. 1t is remarkable
that during the Juror that was raised
about oil in those places no one has
ever made any decided and competent
effort to bore for oil in this vicinity.
The rerson for this, however, is that
the territory has been occupied by or
CARNATIONS too weak and incompetent
to accomplish results. The Iatt Oil
Company is not of this nature, and for
this reason we believe that substantial
and beneficial results will soon be de-
yeloped.

w. H. M. s. Meets With Mrs. Tooraen.


The Woman's Home Mission Society
of the Colfax Methodist church was en-
tertained last Tuesday afternoon by
Mrs. M. E. Tooraen, it being the regu-
lar social meeting. The afternoon was
spent in sewing for the bazaar, read
ing, and in interesting games that had
been prepared for the occasion. One
game, missionary contest, was espec-
tally interesting. Large charts bearing
the name of the missionary and country
corresponding were hung on the wall.
Cards were passed, some having the
names of missionaries and some the
names of countries. Each member in
turn had to ask question from card.
If the word Korea" for instance, was
on the card turned, the one who first
named a missionary to Korea won the
card. If the holder of the card answer
ed first, she had the right to ask anoth-
er question.
A chapter in the instruction book
dealing with the evils of Mormonism,
now being studied by the society, was
discussed and vote was taken to adopt
certain resolutions against Mormon in
vasion in our community, the State,
and in our country generally. 1t Was
unanimously agreed and the secretary
ordered to have copies of these resolu-
tons printed and signed by the men,
bers of the society and voters of the
community, to be forwarded to our
Senators and Representatives, asking
that they take such action against Nor
monism as will forever stamp out po-
lygamy in this country, since the Nor
mon church has violated its promises
oy returning to the practice and preach
ing of polygamy and is establishing col
onies all over the South, and designs
the ultimate control of the United
States Government.
After the discussion was over, the
hos .ess, assisted by Mrs. Earl Roberts,
served delicious refreshments of chick
en- and mayonnaise sandwiches, with
cherry iced tea, which were much en-
joyed by the guests.
The next social meeting will be with
Mrs. L. B. Gay.

Handicapped
This is the Case With Many People.

Too many Colfax citizens are handi-
capped with bad backs. The unceas-
ing pain causes constant misery, max
work burden and STOPPING or lifting
an impossibility. The back aches at
night, preventing refreshing rest and
in the morning is stiff and lame Plas-
tiers and liniments may give relief but
cannot reach the cause if the kidneys
are weak. To eliminate the pains and
aches of kidney backache you must
cure the kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for disorder
ed kidneys.
The following statement should con-
vince every Colfax reader of their eff
ficiency.
Mrs. L. F. Tincent, 747 Kirkman St.
Like Charles. La, says: "About two
years ago suffered intensely from dis
ordered kidneys. There was a dull
ache in the small of my back and the
kidney secretions caused annoyance.
My heart also bothered me. Reading
about Doan's Kidney Pills, | began us

We understand that the main reason
why the property owners of ward one
asked the scoool board to submit to
the voters of this ward tax of q mills,
was that they feared the parish wide

the mill tax is defeated, it will only
be because the property holders of
ward one cast their votes and values
against it.
