Western Newspaper Union News Service.

"eserT Newspaper Union News Service.
Baton Rouge.-Bids on sll ,00O.O
long-term bonds under the provisions
OF the new constitution have been ask
ed for by the state to be submitted to
the State Board of Liquidation on
Monday, December s.
This action was taken at a meeting
OF the State Board OF Liquidation held
IN the governors office and after An
all-day sitting of the board.
There were some differences OF
opinion among the board members at
first as to whether ii would not be
best TO exercise the rights given the
hoard under the provisions of the new
constitution and advertise for bids
for the long-term bonds and the short.
term securities both at the same time.
Lieutenant Governor Barrett and At.
torney General Pleasant favored get.
tanning bids on both, but the final de-
cision was that it would be best 10
offer the long-term serial bonds, which
bear 4 l-2 per cent interest and for
which the state now believes there
can be found a market at this time.
The board authorized the governor
to borrow $4,000 to meet the expenses
OF the Cross Lake survey to be paid
to the State Board of Engineers.
1t also authorized the governor to
borrow from the fiscal agency banks
$4,000 for the State Institution for the
Blind. Superintendent Huckabee adj
vised the board that he needed $1,000
for general repairs, $1,000 for repairs
of the old residence and moving of
buildings and $500 for the purchase
of two rug looms and two broom ma
chimes, all of which the board author
lied the governor to get.

also disappointing. Boil weevil makes
prospects for another year here gloomy
for the cotton farmer. The oil well

CANTATA IS
MUSICAL TREAT
Presbyterian Church not Large
Enough to Accommodate the
Crowd Sunday Night.

The Christmas Cantata Holy
Night" given at the Presbyter-
ian church Sunday night under
the direction of Rev. A. H.
Hibshman was indeed a rare
treat to the music lovers. The
church was crowded to capacity,
even the aisles being filled.
Manager N. A. Wi'kerson Of
fered the Opera House free and
the Cantata will be repeated
January 4th., free will offering
will be taken up and given to
the City Missions. The large
chorus showed careful training
and the numbers were executed
perfectly. The features of the
entertainment were the solos of
Mrs. Frank Fithian, of Paris,
who had the leoding soprano
role, and Miss Ethel Ferguson,
of this city, the leading contral-
to. The singing of Mr.. N. D..
Brown also deserves special
mention. Mr.. Hibshman was as
sisted in training the chorus by
Mrs. George E. Coleman.
Mr.. Wilkerson has asked US to
state that at any time the opera
house can be used on Sunday for
charitable purposes, that he is
only too glad to permit same to
be used free of charge.

Put a wreath in the window ;
it proclaims good cheer to the
passer-by. Plan to do some
thing kind for the fellow who is
lonely and broken on the rack of
his heavy burden; it means good
fellowship. Send flower to the
white couch where the pallid
sufferer lies, battling for life
and isolated from the busy world
it's perfume breathes of sympa-
thy. Drop a coin in the wither-
ed hand of poverty as you pass
it will bring JOY to both. Love
the little ones; Christ did this.
After that the sun will break
through the winter cloud Tor
you and the stars come out in
the quiet sky.
