the weather had cleared and
nearly every society in the par

more delegates. Every phase of
the State Board work was pre-

The Cause of Education was fore

Fair Notes.

Only two weeks until the Fair.
In spite of all the set-backs, oh,
jections, discouragements and
lack Of lumber we will have the
Fair on schedule time. Su fiji
Gent funds are at hand and space
under roof is ample to meet all
present requirements. Some OF
the directors and superintendent
of departments have worked as
siduously to interest exhibitors,
who are also producers. to make
fine exhibits. Miss Williamson
and principals of the other Parish
schools, under the direction of
Mr.. Minckler, are rehearsing the
songs that are to DO sung on Ed
ucational Day. Likewise, the
male quartet will be in readiness
to do its part at the appointed
time, for the entertainment of the
vast number of visitors that are
expected to be present. Prof.
Peters, of Bogalusa, has an init
nation that Mr.. Howard of the
N. O. G. N. Railroad, will ar
range for an excursion train to
convey people from Angie, Var.
nado, Bogalusa and intermediate
stations, on Friday, the greatest
day Of the Fair. From Warner
ton the train schedule is already
convenient. The grand process
sion of that day will form by the
courthouse, each chorus singer
will be provided with a United
States flag, and the parade will
be escorted along a selected route
to the Fair grounds, Of this
more will be stated in our next

A Proposed Plan For
the Cure of Pellagrass

It seems from the best sources
of information that the disease
of PeIlagra is rapidly increasing
and no remedy, yet discovered
for it's cure. We believe from
facts and observations, that
Alonzo Burch has the remedy
He has effected some marvellous
benefits if not cures on himself
wife and children who were pro-
nounced by doctors here and IN
New Orleans to have the disease,
also was told they had no cure
for the disease. Under these
circumstances he set about to
find a cure by experimenting
with various roots which has re.
suited in the cure of himself and
family, and also a sister who
had treatment from able doctors
in Bogalusa, but without cure or
benefit. She is seemingly in good
health. He has many testlno'
malls from different parts Of the
country, of even a more marvel
Gus nature than those above who
have been under our own obser-
walton. The demand has become
so great and scattered over such
vast territory that Mr.. Burch
being a man of small means,
finds himself unable for the task.
He further finds by experience
that he can treat the disease to
better advantage under his per-
sonal care and supervision;
under these circumstances in
order to give his remedy a fair
test, his neighbors called a
mass meeting Of citizens to dis
cuss and arrive at a common
understanding how we could
best aid Mr.. Burch to place his
remedy to the best advantage to
the most people. With legal ad.
vice we adopted the stock Com
pany plan. The charter of

expensive institution only enough
will be charged after a short ex'
perience to cover expenses. Our
idea is to start on an economical
principal until it proves its
merits. But however small the
commencement may be it will re-
quire some outlay. Therefore
we appeal to everybody to lend
US a helping hand by way of
taking stock or donation. To
any who don't know Mr. Burch,
l take pleasure in saying that his
character is above reproach from
any standpoint. Mr.. Burch and
his remedy may not appeal very
forcible to some, but it brings to
my mind one Mr.. Prescott near
Magnolia, Miss, who had a root
Idropsy cure, that cured when
1.-THE best medical skill failed. One
of our oldest citizens now living
in this Parish, old cousin James
Ball of Angie, can testify that he
was cured Of dropsy some fifty
years ago by this treatment. |
can testify to many other cures
from this treatment. Old Dr..
II. j. Afford and many other doc
tiers Endorsed and recommended
this treatment. We find that all
Through past time many great
things have their origin from
INSIGNIFICANT sources. Many are
pleading with Mr.. Burch for

have pellagra tho it seems to be
lconfned 20 the poorer class. Who

little ones? If you help one of
