Without doubt the best number of the

Glee club consists OF four gentlemen,

large part Of the entertainment was of
a class seldom heard here before
Their repertoire OF musical selections
ranged from the classic of the old
masters, to the Old folk love so1gl and

Aside from the vocal feature of tte
evening the cOrnetist, MIR. Francis /.

work Of the Brass Quartette was also
of an exceedingly high order While
Mr.. Hendry'S readings struck a respon-

forth the most hearty applause.
The entertainment throughout was
delightful, and without flaw, and
while it was at times pathetic, and
again convulSed the audience with
laughter there was nothing in the en-

JNQ. 4. M'AYEAL AT
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

The congregation at the Presby
terlan church Sunday morning was
treated to a splendid talk by Mr.. Jno
A. McAyeal a prominent hardware
merchant of Crowley, who was one of
the three present three weeks before.
His subject was Things that were
discussed at the Great Memphis Con.
ference"
The fist was THE Country Church a
Menace" Emphasis was laid upon the
fact that the country church was once
the strong force that was the constant
leeder to the city church, and supplied
the larger number of ministers and
other active Christian workers. But
it is fast passing away, many having
been dissolved within the past ten
years.
The matter Of foreign immigration
was discussed as a menace. Most of
these foreigners come from the lower
classes of the countries of Europe; in
the main ignorant, poor, Superstitious
and under the domination of foreign
power; many from heather lands.
These foreigners are bringing with
them their SuperstitionS and heather
religions, and if this influx continued,
at the present rate of about 100000
every ten years, we would soon be face
to face with a serious political, social
moral and religious problem, which has
already become serious. For this
reason it is urgent that something be
done to take care of them, educate; ele.
vate and chriStianize them, as soon as
they reach here.
He also referred to Romanism in its
efforts to prejudice its followers against
Christian churches and individuals, to
keep them ignorant of facts of religion
and history; its efforts to destroy our
system of public education, and its
effort to keep the Bible or anything of
a religious nature out of our public
schools; and its political aspirations, as
particularly manifest in these later
DAYS.
The negro question came in for its
share OF discussion, being clearly re.
garded as national menace. The
social and moral aspects were con.
sidered, also the religious temperament
of the negro, and the danger of the in.
fluence of foreign religions that would
appeal more to the emotions than to
the heart, working hatred rather than
love. Religious work among the
was strongly commended.
In closing he emphasized the neces.
sity for individual acceptance of indi.
viduaI responsibility. In view of the
facts before us, each one must in the
spirit of the MasteG with love for Him
and for individuals, and a real desire to
help and bless, do our part individually
in recognition Of personal response.

Complete the Records.

NOW lildl llle OH, imperial parish 0
CalcaSleu has come Unexpectedly int
approximately $4,000 back taxes from
, the Union Sulphur company-a sun
that its officers did not count upon re
ceiying and which is so for undiSposeC
ot-tbe Amarican.PreSS would urge the
police juries of the Four Parishes to re
open negotiations with the Mayo.KnapI
Abstract Co. to obtain duplicate records
to replace those destroyed by fire three
years ago. Considering the opportun
tiles for making money the sole posses.
sion OF these records gives the Abstract
company, the price asked for them does
not seem unreasonable to US, but if the
police IurieS cannot make a bargain
with the company, let them appropriate
II they have the legal right to do so: if
not, let them pay the price.
We feel certain that the property
owners of the -Four Parishes would ap.
plaud such move upon the part of the
police jurieS. All OF the latter have made
their financial arrangements by this
time and the spending OF part of this
unexpected sum to purchase the
records would disturb no existing ap.
preparations. 1t would also obviate the
necessity Of paying for the records
later by levying special tax, because
sooner or later they must become pub.
lie property.
The Abstract company, according to
our information, has acted very gener,
ouSly and CONSIDERABLY toward the
public. Their charges for making alb.
StractS are the same as before the fire.
In no way have they attempted to take
advantage of the public that their posi-.
ton gives them. But if their records
fell into other and less scrnpulous
hands, property owners would be
obliged to pay what price that may be
demanded of them. And what if the
Mayo.Knapp records should also be de.
stroyed by fire? The titles TO property
in these four parishes would be thrown
into chaos.
Another phase of the situation is that
the lack Of more than one set of records
necessarily hampers and delays prop.
erty transfers and loans in the Four
Parishes. No available amount of
clerical help and good will can make it
possible to do more than certain
amount of work from one set of books
Consequently the abstract company is
crowded with work all the time and oc.
caslonally is so congested with it that
delay in obtaining abstracts ensueS.
The American-Press knows of one CAPT.
talist who is not making any loans in
the Four parishes because of the delay
in closing transactions. The money,
which ordinarily would be used in Four
Parish development, goes to develop
the wealth of other, surrounding par.
ishes because of the absence of public
records.

have the means at had, from an uneon.

The bodies of the children
we're identified positively, and it
was asserted Mrs. Guinness died
with them, but the identity Of
the woman's body was never
thoroughly established.
Ray Lsmphere, a farm hand, was

convicted, sentenced to serve from
no to twenty-one years in the psni-

he wrote TO the Chicago police, But
when he went to the shack to-day
the woman had disappeared.
The grewsome discovery that the
Guinness farm was used as q muir

the household had been burned.
Freshly dug spots in the yard caused
detectives to make excavations, and
hey unearthed the bodies of ten per-
sons, including that of Jennie Olsen,
adopted daughter Of Mrs Guinness,
and another woman.
The remainder of the bodies were
