We have read good deal lately
about the unequal distribution being
the cause of a big part Of the high
cost Of living, and it looks that way.
We have a case night here. The
Globe Department Store, Of Upton,
Mo, adyertses in the Times OF last
week 20 lbs Of the best granulatcd
cane sugar for SI.oo, 100 lbs for
$500. Best beet sugar, 100 lbs for
81 SO. The las, sugar we bought in
Versailles, and we always patronize
home, we got ii lbs for 81 90 at one
store, and 70 lbs for dollar at anoth-
cr store. Now, do you suppose the
extra freight from Upton to Versailles
caused us the loss Of 10 lbs of sugar
on a So deal2 If SO, why not ship
1t in over the Rock Island and sell
sugar and other things as cheap in
Versailles as they do at Upton.
This would certainly stop a lot of mail
order business, espe tally if our mer-
chants would advertise and let the
people know OF the big bargains they
have for them. TRY it aud see.

DEATH OF Mr.. ". 3. sMIIHA.

The news of the death of Mr.. w.
B. (Blue) Smitha, which occurred
at DIR. Streets Sanitarium, at Vicks-
burg, early last Sunday morning,
came as shock to his friends and
spread vail of sorry over our entire
parish, where the deceased was so
well known, having, been raised at
St. Joseph from early boyhood,
and where he made his home un-
til some years after his marriage
Mr.. Smitha was a splendid example
of Southern manhood, strong and
courageous, honorable and upright,
there were happily combined in his
physical and moral character all of
those elements that contribute to-
ward good citizenship, and in his
untimely death his parish and State
have sustained the loss of a good
citizen, his family an affectionate
husband and father and his friends
a companion as true as steel. To
all who knew and loved him the
sympathies of our entire people is
earnestly extended.
The Vicksburg Herald makes the
following mention of Mr.. Smitha's
death:
As the result of an injury sustained
several weeks ago while attempting to
get into a buggy, when his foot slipped,
allowing serious fall, w. b. Smitha, of
Tallulah, La, who for number of years
has been popular travelling salesman
for r. L. Crook & Co., of this city, died
at 1870 O'Clock Sunday night. Mr..
Smitha was brought here for treatment
shortly after the unfortunate accident,
and last week it was necessary for him
to undergo an operation at the Sanitar-
ium. He was surrounded by his family
and number OF friends during his fatal
| illness, among whom were members OF
F! the United Commercial Travellers, oil
which worthy order the deceased was a
most enthusiastic member. Mr.. Smitha
was native of Madison, Indiana, and
was born February 4th, 1868. He came
South and was married in December,
1899, te Miss Cornelia Aldridge, at White
Apple, Miss, his devoted wife and three
lovely daughters, Misses Barbara, Gen.
evieve and Willie, and three brothers,
Messrs. John r. Smitha, j. VI. Smitha
and II. L. Smitha, all having been with
him through the final days Of his illness,
and at the time of his death.
The remains, accompanied by the be-
reaved family and several friends, were
carried to TallRlah on the ii o'clock train
yesterday morning, where interment was
to be held.
Mr.. Smitha was a man OF excellent
character and standing, devoted father
and husband, and his bereaved family
have the deepest sympathy OF many
friends, number of whom reside in
Vicksburg.

We are in receipt of very attractive
pamphlet advertising Louisiana as one Of
the very greatest corn-growing States in
the Union. This pamphlet is issued by
the Rock Island Rail Road under the
title, ''The New Kingdom of Corn

II shows the great development of
Louisiana as a corn-producing State, hav-
ing increased its production ITO per cent
in three years, the yield of corn in Louis
lana in 1910 being valued at SS5, 900, 900
or equal to one-half the value OF all the
gold produced in the United States dur
ing the same period. The Rock Island is
to be congratulated for its efforts to adj
vertise the resources and richness OF
Louisiana, and its labors will undoubted-
ly be productive of great good to the
State, and it is to be hoped that the Iron
Mountain will also take up the question
and properly advertise the section through
which it operates. All we need in Louis
lana is intelligent advertising to convince
TIE young men of the middle west that
Louisiana presents greater opportunities
to intelligent young farmers than any
other state i'm the Union.
