New Orleans evidently argued
so long and earnestly and pro-
claimed with so much vehemence
that the entire State of Louisiana
would be absolutely ruined and
rendered a bowling wilderness
if the sugar tariff was repealed,
that it evidently made a deep
impression upon the Federal Re-
serve Bank locating committee.
The committee naturally concIud-
ed that community whose busi-
ness had received a vital blow
had no particular need of a Fed

We beg to advise that we are
compelled to discontinue selling
Swift's meat and lard, for the
reason that they have refused to
make any further shipments to
us. They give as their reason
that the other merchants here
have warned them to either dis
continue selling us, or they would
not buy from them, as they
cannot get $1.25 for 1O-lb buckets
of lard when we are selling them
for $1.00. In the future will
handle Fairbanks or Snow Drift.

An Attractive Summer School.


There is no reason why summer
school work should not be made at
tractive. Some of the means of doing
this are as follows: Hold but one ses-
sion per day, working during the cool
hours and closing at LOO p. M; offer
courses in tennis, hockey and volley
ball in the late AFTERNOONS; teach the
students games and plays for them to
use when they go back to their schools;
have stereopticon lectures and musical
entertainments with the photograph;
offer motion picture entertainments on
Saturday evenings; teach the ladies to
swim. and provide suitable lake for
the men to use daily; have a good table
furnish pure water, and protect the
bedrooms against mosquitoes by screen;
and above all hold the expenses down.
All these things the State Normal
School at Natchitoches is providing for
its 1914 summer school students.

Dots From O. X.

i Crops are progressing nicely
in this part of the country.
There were plenty of Easter
hunts, and plenty eggs and en-
joyments of all kinds.
There will be prayer meeting
at the Beulah Methodist church
every Sunday night.
Mr.. Clarence Corbit, Mr.. Brady
Hodnett and Mr.. George Futrell
have been trying the finny tribe
for the past week.
Mr.. M. R. Banks cut his arm
very badly while sharpening a
pillow last Monday.
There has been much fire about
the Iatt railroad near the Iatt
camps, but no serious damage
except some of the wood for the
train burned.
Mr.. H. A. Pardue is now Iiv-
ing in his new home. The people
have been very liberal and kind
to him, and | am sure he appre-
ciates it very much.
Mrs. M. N. Corbitt had a little
chicken with four legs. Every
body that saw it thought it the
most remarkable chicken yet.
She was offered SIS. 90 for it if it
livedto bea month old, but the sad
part of it all is it died Thursday
April 16.
The caboose of the Iatt train
while crossing trestle near Mr.. |
E. Sandifer's turned over. AL
crowd of negroes were on it, but
| don't think there was any very |
serious wounds.
MISS JeWei LaFelre, the prln-
capal of'O. K. school, went to
Shreveport Thursday, and Miss
Winnie Ober, the assistant,
taught both rooms.
Some of the O. X. girls have
joined the tomato club. Those
that the writer knows of are as
follows: Misses Frances Sandi-
fer, Floy Futrell, Lily Ray, Eva

Mr.. W. w. Barton is improv-
ing very much on his new home.
