THE BANK SITUATION.

At last it seems that the Farmers &
Merchants Bank is about to be re.
opened. Parties who have been active
in the movement to make the bank a
going concern again have secured the
signatures of a large majority of in
terested persons to a petition to the
State Examiner of State Banks asking
that the affairs of the bank be taken
out OF the hands of the liquidator and
turned over to the officers and directors
Of the bank
State Examiner of State Banks w.
L. Young has been communicated with,
and asked to come here at his earliest
convenience. When Mr.. Young reaches
here it is thought there will be no
trouble in convincing him that the in
terest of all parties concerned will be
best conserved by re-opening of the
bank and that lie will consent to this
move.

E. E. TRoWsRIDeE IN TROUBLE

e. e. Trowbridge was arrested BY
the sheriff Wednesday upon the re
ceipt of Geographic advices from the
sheriff at Marion, Ind, that Trowbridge
is wanted in that place for issuine
fraudulent drafts and forgery.
Mr.. Trowbridge has been for some
time interested in colonizing lands in
West Feliciana parish, and has more
recently undertaken to bring colonists
to lands of A. S. Bowman. Mr.. Bowman
is at present in Marion, and has tele.
graphed to Mr.. Trowbridge that there
is likelihood of the matter being
fixed up to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned.
A deputy sheriff from the Indiana
city is on his way to St. Francisville
as this is written, and, unless the
charges are dropped, will take the
prisoner back to Indiana to face the
charges, as it is thought Mr.. Trow-
bridge will wave extradition proceed
ings.
In the meantime the prisoner Is in

RED Burnley TOBACCO.

Mr.. John F. Page at Wakefield, La.
has brought in sample of Red Burley
tobacco he raised this year on his
place. 1t is very pretty color, and
put up in the Changers Twist" shape
and makes very attractive tobacco
Mr.. Page is an old tobacco man, having
worked in factory at Covington, Ky.
for several years, and he says that
this tobacco has more than met his
expectations here and he proposes to
plant more of it another year. He
only planted a small patch this year
to see how it would do. This is
another crop West Feliciana parish
can grow and as it is one of the most
staple of all American crops, it would
be we'll for our farmers to look into
the advisability of planting tobacco
here for the market.

AUToIsTs' RULES OF THE ROAD.

that the observance of these rules may

Fifth-When in doubt 60 slow or
stop.
And the Council further requests all
automobilists to obey to the letter
these nine commandments of the road !:
Don't run fast into or across main
highways.
Don't take blind curves too fast.
Don't run on the wrong side of the
road.
Don't pass street cars when passen.
gers are boarding or leaving.
Don't fail to sound your horn before
passing other vehicles.
Don't forget that car or a person
may be just around the turn.
Don't forget that the other fellow
may be dull, reckless or drunk.
Don't fail to look out for pedestrians.
Don't forget that children dash in
the way Unexpectedly.
Don't take chances. That's the
simple embracing rule.

ST. MATTHEW, 18:21.35.

Then came Peter to him, and said
Lord, how oft shall my brother sir
against me, and l forgive him? till
seven times?
Jesus saith unto him, l say not unto
thee, Until seven times: but, Until
seventy times seven.
Therefore is the kingdom of heaven
likened unto certain king, which
would take account of his servants.
And when he had begun to reckon,
one was brought unto him, which owed
him ten thousand talents.
But forasmuch as he had not to pay,
his lord commanded him to be sold,
and his wife, and children, and all that
he had, and payment to be made.
The servant therefore fell down, and
worshipped him, saying, Lord, have
patience with me, and | will pay thee
all.
Then the lord of that servant was
moved with compassion, and loosed
him, and forgave him the debt.
But the same servant went out and
found one of his fellow-servants which
owed him an hundred pence: and he
laid hands on him, and took him by
the throat, saying, Pay me that thou
owest.
And his fellow-servant fell down at
his feet, and besought him, saying,
Have patience with me, and will pay
thee all.
And he would not: but went and
cast him into prison, till he should pay
the debt.
So when his fellow-servants saw
what was done, they were very sorry,
and came and told unto their lord all
that was done.
Then his lord, after that he had call
ed him, said unto him, o thou wicked
servant, I forgave thee all that debt,
because thou desiredst me:
Shouldest not thou also have had
compassion on thy fellow-servant, even
as had pity on thee?
And his lord was wroth, and deliver
ed him to the tormentors, till he should
pay all that was due unto him.
So likewise shall my heavenly Father
do also unto you, if We from your
hearts forgive not every one his broth
er their trespasses.

Since 1875, when the first American
silo was built by DR.. Manley Miles,
this method of preserving forage for

Although the Department of Agricul.

the horse second examination and

greater success to poor soil, unfavor.

like. Then when the time comes to sell

their depreciatory attitude decidedly
cuts prices. The grumbler who holds
a public sale is very likely to discover
too late that his neighbors have taken
him at his word.

Tis the man of least importance
Who is apt to make most noise,
IT'S the bully" and the "braggart"
Is most worthless among boys;
But the quiet, thinking fellow
Who never knows to boast
Is the one of real importance
And accomplishes the most.
The mightiest force in nature
Is the one we never hear,
But our earth revolving 'roundit
Makes complete our mundane year;
All the planets yield it homage;
1t creates the night, the day,
Silently the sun exerteth
Over all it's mighty sway.
When the road of muttering thunder
Rolls along the murky sky
1t is harmless, tbs the lightning
Silently goes flashing by;
All the havoc that it causes
AS it strikes relentlessly
And it's quick destructive action
Is all done most silently.
In the growth of mighty forces
Oak and hemlock, spruce and pine,
Clothing hillsides with their verdure
And the grape-producing vine;
Quietly their strength develop
AS the passing years float by
Noiselessly they throw their shadows
All athwart the lurid sky.
All the progress of the ages
Has been quietly thought out,
Naught has come by chance or hazard
Reasoning has conquered doubt;
We have found the silent plodder
Has unraveled mysteries,
While the genius of the thinker
Something new in all things sees.
