to get a charter for an Elks lodge in
a city less than 10000 population
and in as much as Boealusa has

and when the lodge is organized they
will have an Elks home, that will be

Judge C. Ellis OFT. He came with
the town and has been here ever
since.
Judge OFT has held several posi-
tons of trust and honor, resigning
