ward Step.
There is big measure of inspira-
tlon for the people of this commu-
nifty in every line of the following
letter:
New Orleans, La, Nov. %, 1913.
Mr., R. S. Vickers, Secretary Cham
Der of Commerce, Donaldsonville,
La.
Dear Sir:-To my profound sor-
row | learned this morning that the
doors Of the Bank of Donaldsonville
were closed from financial trouble.
While the unsettled sugar market
is temporarily affecting the financial
conditions of Donaldsonyille and adj
iacent territory, this trouble will be
but brief. Your splendid little city,
the center of the population Of Louisl-
ana, is surrounded on both sides OF
the river by as fine land as the
world has ever seen. With land
that can produce not only cane and
rice but corn that will make from
so td rs bushels per acre and a
twelve months pasturage for cattle,
sheep and hogs to feed upon; with
land suited for the cultivation of al
most every known crop, there must
be no backward step.
Keep up the determined fight
for the opening Of the locks, for the
construction of the electric railway
down the bayou, for the extension OF
the St. Elmo. Belle Helene and Lou
istana Eastern Railroad to Eden
born and eastward. Keep up that
stirring spirit that was shown in
the fair recently held, the success OF
which has been a marvel to every
doubling Thomas; yes, keep up this
spirit and Donaldsonville will con-
tinue to advance day by day and
not turn back.
Very sincerely yours,
"ALLUVIAL LAND PURCHASE
COMPANY, INC,
stBy E. P. BRADY, President. !"
Mr. Brady has struck the keynote
of a line of thought and speech and ac-
ton that ought to be followed in the
present emergency by every resident
of this town and parish. In the face
of such a spirit of optimism and de-
termination as this clarion call evokes,
all obstacles to the progress and
prosperity of our favored community
will disappear as mists before the ris-
ing sun, and Dona1dsonville and AS
cension will come into their own.

City of sNexico.-Preparatic for
the transportation of the deposed
President Madero and Vice President
Suarez and their families to Vera
Cruz to catch steamer for Europe
have been completed. Almost coinei-
dent with the moment that their res
ignations were being formally read in
congress, these facing exile arrived
at the Mexican Railway station where
train was under steam The party
Included Mrs Madero, two sisters OF
Madero, Angela and Mercedes, and
their father, Francisco Madero, ST..
Mrs Suarez and her children accom-
panied her husband. A number of
close friends of both families accom-
panied tn n to Vera Cruz.
Victorino Huerta was elected pro-
visional president by congress at a
special secret session here.
At instigation of the government
Madero has been formally held re-
sponsible for the death of Colonel
Riveroll, which occurred at the palace
at the time of Nadero's arrest.
Conflicting stories are in circulation
regarding the slayer of Riveroll but it
is officially stated that Madero shot
him with a pistol.
In statement made General Huerta
says that two attempts were made
against his life before the arrests,
and he attributes both of them to the
Maderos. The first attempt, he says,
was made by sharpshoOter who
tried to pick him off while in the pal
ace This, General Huerta laid at the
door of the ex-president. The second
attempt was made at the banquet
which eliminated in Gustavo Ma
dero's arrest. Huerta says he was
repeatedly urged to drink poisoned
wine. He was suspicious, he says
and refused to do so. An analysis
showed that it contained cyanide of
potassium, it is declared.
The execution of Gustavo Madero,
brother of the deposed president, was
the most tragic occurrence of the day.
He was subjected to the fugitive
law by which he was free to run
under the rife fire of his guards. He
fell dead under their bullets.
Already forced to face plots, the
new administration caused the arrest
of General Francisco Romero. Ro-

This home is dedicated to good win.
1t grew out of love. The two heads
of the household were called together
by q power higher than they To its
decree they are obedient- Every tone
of the voice. every thought of their
being, is subdued to that service. They
desire to be worthy of their high cali
ing, as ministers of that grace. They
know their peace will go unbroken
only for a little time. And often they
suspect that the time will be more
short even than their anxious hope
They cannot permit SO much as one
hour of that brief unity to be touched
by scorn or malice. The worlds judg-
ments have lost their sting inside
this door. Those who come seeking
to continue the harmony which these
two have won are ever welcome. The
rich are welcome. SO they come SIM
ply. The poor are welcome, for they
have already learned friendliness
through buffeting. Youth is welcome.
for it brings the joy which these two
would learn Age is welcome, for it
will teach them tenderness.-Collier'
