The Chief one of the handsome me-
dallions minted by the commission

it is hoped to dispose of enough
medallions today to assure the sue

Goina Out Of Business.

It. was with a feeling of sincere re
gret that the people of this CITY
and section learned that the j. A.
Dalferes store in Mississippi street
had determined to retire from Dusl-
ness, and that a liquidation SAFE
would be inaugurated to dispose OF
the magnificent stock of n1gh-grade
merchandise carried by the popular
establishment. This sale Is now. 60
ing on, and will be continued until
the entire stock has been sold.
The Dalferes store has been one OF
the leading commercial establish
ments of Donaldsonyille for the past
sixteen years, and throughout this
lengthy period has enjoyed a zl1beral
measure of patronage and achieved a
reputation for fair dealing and BUS
mess integrity of which its owner
and manager can well be PROUD.
Since its first day OF business in
Donaldsonville the store has been I'M
der the capable management of Duke
.. Dalferes, and it is through no fault
of his or neglect of opportunities that
may have come to his hand that the
establishment is now passing from
the commercial sphere of the COM
munity, which it has adorned sue
eessful1y for so long a period. The
depressed business conditions prevail
ing throughout the entire country,
and particularly in this immediate
section owing to purely local mis-
fortunes and ealamities beyond con-
troll, are responsible for the retire
ment of this worthy establishment,
and no one connected with it in any
capacity whatever has cause to
feel other than entirely satisfied
with the showing it has made dur
ing its long period of existence, and
sincerely regretful that circumstances
are such as to make the liquidation
of the business necessary.
Under the efficient and painstak-
ing management OF Duke D. Da1feres,
the Dalferes store has always re-
ceived a generous measure of patron
age from the buying public of this
section, and it can truthfully be
said that only the friendliest feelings
are entertained for the establishment
and its popular manager, and that
the hope is general that Mr.. Dali
feres will not entirely sever his con-
nection with local commercial circles,
but will succeed in finding other
avenues in which to employ his high
" developed talents for salesmanshlp
and business management.
IN the meantime, patrons of the
DaIferes store, as well as the gener-
al public, are aYailing themselves
of the wonderful bargains offered by
the liquidation sale now in progress,
and eager buyers are eroWding the
store daily.

The following interesting item is
clipped from Marion ]. Pixies Re
view of All Sports, in last Sunday $
issue of the Times-Picayune:
Three southern cities, all more
or less attractive, have invited the
Yankees to visit with them next
spring: Durham, N. c.; Brunswick,
Ca, and DonaldsonYille, La. the lat
ter place offering the most suitable
climate for spring training. All three
invitations have been flied for future
reference: the Yankees, next train
ing camp will not be definitely decid-
ed upon until Farrell has captured a
new manager. Durham and Bruins
wick have had limited experiences
with major league clubs, but so far
as is known by any one connected
with the local American Leaguers,
Dona1dsonville is virgin soil which
has never yet been trod by major
league hood It is quite possible
that one of the three will be select
ed later on, but not highly probable. 8
The Yankees above referred to
are the New York team of the Amer
lean League, and Secretary R. S..
Vickers of the local Chamber of
Commerce will use all his powers of
persuasion to convince the officials
of the club that Dona1dsonVille is
the one best bet for a southern
training camp, and offers advantages
that cannot be exce1led or even
equalled by any southern city with
comparative qualities OF climate and
surroundings.

An invaluable incentive to the
acquisition of both these most need-
full desiderata is to be found in the
competitive display of the resources
and products of the community@made
at tie annual exhibitions conduct
ed at Donaldsonville by the South
Louisiana Fair Association, hence
an imperative duty of our parochial
and municipal authorities and of in
dividual citizens is to encourage ana
support this enterprise heartily and
literally.
The meeting of the police jury OF
Ascension parish that was to have
been held last Wednesday for athe
consideration of an application for
the appropriation Of $500 in aid of
the South Louisiana Fair of 1915, has
been deferred to. the 18th instant in
order to save the members the time
aad expense of attending two SEES
sions within such a short interval at
busy season, hence The Chief,
speaking in behalf OF the entire pro
gressive and public-spirited citizen
ship Of the community, takes advan-
tage of the opportunity to again
urge every police juror to be on
hand for the purpose of casting his
vote in favor of this appropriation.
AS we said last week, Ascension
parish, as the domicile and host OF
+ the fair association, has a greater
and more direct interest in the
success of the enterprise, and is
| therefore under a moral obligation to
contribute to that success in larg-
er measure than any of the other
parishes concerned. Furthermore,
$500 is a small sum compared to
the object of the appropriation and
the benefits to be derived from It,
and there is no purpose to which
an equal amount of the paroehial
revenues for the coming year can
be more properly and profitably as
signed.
