Mr.. Jas. R. Leake, brother of the
late Judge VIM. w. Leake of this par.
ish, has resigned his position as clerk
of the Charity Hospital, which he has
filled since 1896. A city paper states
that Mr.. Leake was asked to resign,
on account of the new policy of the in.
stitution to put medical man in
charge. This may be, but 1t is equally
true that Mr.. Leake had determined
some time ago to resign, in order to
live upon the farm, he purchased some
years ago, about zen miles from St.
Francisville on the Woodville road.
He and Mrs. Leake will remove here
shortly, no doubt, and will be very
welcome. Mrs. Leake completes TWEEN
ty-five years service in the Office of
the Sugar Refinery, and retires on
pension, this fall This couple have
spent their lives in useful service in
rearing other children than their own,
as they have had none. At sunset,
they deserve peace and repose.

TO THE PEOPLE OF LOUISIANA

The citizens of the State of Louisi-
ana, without respect to political or fac
tional alignment, are called to assem-
BILE in mass meeting in New Orleans,
Saturday, November 20, 1918, at the
Athenaeum, at eight o'clock D. m, for
the purpose of discussing in broad
national and non-sectional way the
subject of Federal control of river flow
and foods.
This meeting is called expressly for
the purpose of demonstrating that the
people of Louisiana are in line with
the people of other states of the Union
in their just demand for adequate Fed
eral legislation that will give the exec
utive departments of the government
the power to initiate and carry to con-
clusion comprehensive plans for the
solution of the river and food prob
lem; and,
For the purpose of protesting against
the assumption that so-called Lou
isiana convention" called to assemble
in New Orleans November 20, 1913, at
$3.50 a. m, to petition Congress for the
early enactment of the Ransdell-Hum
phreys' bill can, by any means, be said
to reflect the sentiment of the people
Of Louisiana because the action of
said so-called Louisiana convention"
has been limited to the "petitioning of
Congress for the early enactment of
the Ransdell-Humphreys' BILL" which
does not give the government the pow
er to initiate and carry out any plan
or plans for the solution of the food
problem; and,
For the purpose of promoting
broader statewide attitude toward
public questions in general, in the in
terest of the peace, progress, and per-
manent prosperity of the State.
Well informed speakers will address
the meeting, and an opportunity will
be given for the discussion Of both
sides and all angles of the question.
In spite of a written request, that
the proposed statewide meeting divide
the time of the speakers between the
RansdellHumphreys and the New.
lands bill advocates, the call for the
so-called Louisiana convention" meet
ing limits the speakers to a discus
sion of the nsdell-Humphreys meas
|ure.
The meeting we new call will be an
open meeting, and all men and women
who have the best interest of Louisf-
ana at heart are invited to attend and
participate.
