INTERCHANGEABLE SWITCH.

Mayor Jas. Logan of Bayou Sara, &C.
companied by Mr.. Matt Gilmore of
Wakefield, appeared before the Rail-
read Commission at Baton Rouge in
the interests of having an interchange.
liable switch put in between the L. R.
& N railroad and the Woodville
Branch OF the Y. G. NJ V. at Bayou
Sara. 1t is claimed that this is con.
venience much needed by shippers al
this point, as the nearest switch of
that description is at Scotland, about
20 miles below here, and too much
out of reach of shippers in West Fe-
liciana, Wilkinson County, ETC., that
wish to reach the West and Northwest.
The l.. R. & N. has been favorable to
putting in switch, but the other rail-
road people hung back. The Railroad
Commission considered the matter
favorably

HENEFACTOR VISITS HIGH
SCHOOL.

Mrs. Sarah Freyhan visited the Ju.
Illus Freyhan High School, Monday, for
the first time since the building, which
owes so much to her benefactions, was
erected. 1t will be remembered that
the first building given largely by Mrs.
Freyhan, in memory of her husband,
the school bearing his name. was de-
stroyed by fire The present one rose
In its place.
Mrs. Freyhan made a little talk at
the opening exercises. She said that
she had never realized that the school,
named In memory of her dear hus-
band, was SO attractive, and was do.
Ing such good work. She intended to
follow it with more interest than she
had done in the past. She visited the
different class rooms and expressed
herself as we'll pleased with what she
saw.
Mrs, Freyhan has determined to
award two gold medals annually to
the pupils in the high school and the
grammar grades showing the highest
standard of scholarship. In addition
she will make other awards, where pu.
pills show special merit.
In the afternoon, the high school
rendered Mrs. Freyhan a reception,
the class in domestic science prepar-
ing and serving the refreshments.
Members Of the school board and init
mate friends of Mrs. Freyhan were in.
vited. The lunch was spread in the
rear of the Assembly Hall, and was
very attractive to appearance and pal.
ate. The girls in their fresh white
caps and aprons served faultlessly.
Sixteen covers were laid.
Mrs. Freyhan seemed much pleased
with the attention shown her, which
was but slight expression of the
gratitude and esteem felt towards
her.

MUNSoN.LEAKE WEDDING.

A quiet little wedding took place al
Grace Church, Saturday afternoon
when Miss Mabel Bradford Leake and
Mr.. Charles L. Munson were joined in
the simple but beautiful ritual of the
church. They came in together, and
were met at the chancel steps by the
Rector, Rev. A. w. Skardon. She was
given in marriage by her father, Col
John w. Leake, who came in with
them. The ceremony was witnessed
by very few persons, either invited
as relatives of the bride or friends of
the bridegroom. There was no music,
but as the married couple left the sa-
cred building, the bell in the church
tower rang out wedding march for
them.
Its tones were the first intimation
that most persons in the town had, that
a wedding was in progress. Rumor
and sul1nise had been very busy. for
some time, in Joining the names of the
young couple, and the exact date Of
the wedding frequently set with that
fertile imagination and independence
OF fact that characterizes gossip, as a
rule, but in this instance, it was real
surprise after all.
The church guests followed Mr.. and
Mrs. Munson to the station to see
them off on a little trip-to Baton
Rouge as it was afterwards learned,
and to give them that shower of rice
which custom accords to a wedding.
The bride wore a handsome tailor.
made suit of navy blue with hair stripe
of white. Her hat matched the suit
prettily. She wore single white
camellia as her bridal flowers.
They returned Sunday night and are
making their home at Belle Monte
Win INC uIluS ldIuSE.
Mr.. Munson is a talented young at.
torney, who is building up good prac.
tice since his admission to the bar,
and is much liked by q large circle Of
friends, who value his sincerity, and
enjoy his geniality of disposition. Mr.
Munson Is son of A. G. Munson of
Rogillioville, and his family is, we'll.
known and prominent in the Felici-
anas. His bride is member Of a
prominent West Feliciana family, and
as a niece of Hon. Calhoun Fluker, Of
New Orleans, and w. s. Fluker of
Hammond, La, has a near claim
on the hearts of East Feliciana peo-
pie. She has frequently visited Jack
son and has many friends there.
She is one of those retiring girls,
whose merits and attractions are
best known and appreciated by those
who know her best, and these both
love and trust her. Her devotion to
her father is a conspicuous fact of her
history, and the old adage, "a good
daughter makes good wife" is a
happy augury for the future of the
man. who has won her heart and
hand.
May they realize happiness and pros
perity in their life together is the
composite wish of innumerable friends
and relatives

President American Ma tional Livestock ASsocia- tion Expresses Himself as Gratificd at Work of Recent Convention

After spending just one week in Phoenix, which he calls the most beautiful city in the southwest" Pre- sident Henry A. Jastro of the Ameri- cain National Livestock convention left last night for his home in Bak- ersfield Calf Mir Jastro has been called the biggest coWman in the United States, not so much because of his personal or community holdings in livestock, but because of his states manlikc grasp upon the necessities of the business, it's present worth and future prospects. and especially upon those questions which are to make for the permancncy of the industry MT. Jastro has been accompanied hy his daughter Mrs Greer during his visit here.
 Speaking to d Republican rCprcsen- tativc yesterday shortly before his de- parturc Mir Jastro said: T am very pleased to have had the privilege of attending so successful q convention as the recent one of our association has been I am sure it will go down in the history of our organization as one of the greatest we have ever held. I believe also that it will have the et- feet of aWak kening interest in the live stock industry in Arizona, and of showing what needs must he done and that right early. in order that the great industry may not gradually dle out.
 The livestock industry must have protection, and must have scientific and systematic care Itis in this state | understand the second largest indus try you have. and as such everything within reason ought to be done to make it better as each year passes by rather than by neglectins it and thus carelesslY making it worse. l think that Arizona is alive to the demands of the time and will do all possible for the livestock men,

SOCIETY
 PLANS PICNIC
Meeting Held Yesterday
 Afternoon to Arrange for Washington's Birthday Picnic Among Pictured Rocks South of Phoenix

At the meeting of the Board of Di- rcctors of the Illinois Society of Ari- zona yesterday afternoon at the office Of President D. B. Heard. the ball was started rolling that will end in the usual big event of the year in the way of state society picnics. The date de- cided upon was Washington's birthday February 22nd and the place a spot about six miles directly south of Phoe- nix among the Pictured Rocks. The picnic last year was held across the river and it was the most successful l ever held by the society both in point of numbers and enjoyment. The board was unanimously of the opinion that the members of the society would be 1 glad to have the picnic held among the Pictured Rocks again. The exact spot will be selected later by the ] committee appointed for that purpose. l Ii is sufficient to say that there are ! many pretty camping places among the Rocks.
 l The usual committees on program, sports coffee and transportation have I been appointed and these will soon be 1 at work perfecting the details that | will lead to an enjoyable time for all. i Further announceme ents as to arrange ments will be made from time to time 1 but it can be well predicted that the 1 cvert this year will eclipse the ! events in the past and every member 7, of the society can prepare for gala l day on February 22nd.
 1 Many persons have come to the val 1 ley since the last picnic that hail l from Illinois and these are invited to l become members of the society so that | they can take part in the festivities. 1 The state register may be found at 1 the office of Secretary E. F.. Marks ! in the Fleming block, where those de- i siring to do so may make application ! for membership and where suggestions
 as to how to make the event most en-
