St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1914-08-01
VAUDEVILLE NOTES.

AS promised in last Saturdays is
sue of the Farmer the dark horses are
appearing in the open and are groom
ing for the race, wherefore the politi-
cal situation is somewhat changed,
thusly: VIM. Shell has withdrawn
from the mayoralty race; A. C. Bose,
a member of the 1911-12 town coun-
Gil has declared for the Office, who,
with mayor w. G. Davis and the Hon.
Felix A. Jones, ST., form the trio
cOntesting the Office. w. T. New
man, member of the present town
council, and DR.. A. G. Maybe, have
announced as candidates for coun-
cilmen. P. C. Smith, present mar
shall, is being opposed by VIM. Phil
lips and A. M. Parisy. For member
of the school board, the Office which
was a-begging last week, now looms
| Wills, of Vaudeville, who makes the
race at the persistent solicitation of
his friends who believe he possesses
the necessary qualifications for the
Office, Dave Smith, of Lewisburg and
w. S. Fassman and Geo. E. RENE,
both of East Vaudeville. The FORM
er promises his entire tine to the
position, the latter is member of
the present council, and is only re-
ceptive candidate.
The Hon. E. H. Baudot, member
of the present council and who led
the ticket two years ago, was, a few
days ago waited ON by delegation
who importuned him to permit the
use of his name for mayor, and if
not that for councilman. Mr.. Bau-
dot replied that he felt very much
f]attered and heartily appreciated,
Che must have for his eyes were
watery and no onions anywhere near)
the sentiment expressed by the dele
gaton, but that public duties took
one away from ones business and he
felt that his first duty was to his fam
ly and his business, wherefore, he
regretted it much, but he positively
and courteously declined. Then
Baudot handed out a few-well, wet
packages.
Mr.. Eug. Kelly, a much esteemed
and well known employee of the st.
Tammany Railways & Ferry Co., has
refused to give an ear to the plead
ings of his friends to enter the coun-
cilmanic race.
The Retail Grocers' outing origi-
nally scheduled for July 16 but post
poned because of the tying up of the
steamer Hanover, no other boats be-
ing large enough to handle the crowd,
has been fixed and will take place
next Thursday, August 6, via Str.
Hanover and New Camelia. head
quarters will be at Jackson Park.
Mr.. Geo. Long, chairman of the ar
rangement committee, and to whom
Mandevillians are greatly indebted
for bringing the Association here,
for there were other places actively
seeking the outing, says, the crowd
will be almost as large if not just
as large as anticipated in July IL.
More than 1900 tickets have been
sold, and quoting from George, I'VE
are coming over in all our glory, full
of enthusiasm and expected pleasure,
with the original bands, movie pc
ture man and paraphernalia and
prizes for the games, contests and
amusements."
The Associations failure, through
no fault of it's own, was severe blow
to us, both from q financial and ad-
vertising standpoint, but the wound
will now be soothed and healed by
the fact that they are coming, even
if bit late.
May Vaudeville do itself proud on
August 9Th and impress on the Re-
tail Grocers that we want them aain
in 1915.
Our friends from Abita, Covington
and Madisonville are invited to be
present.
