"The Jolly COlIeens. :"

a very charming little program
was put on Saturday evening at Ap-
plegate, under the name of The
Jolly Colleens," by two of Ashland S
most talented young ladies, Miss
Calkins. dramatic reader, formerly
teacher of oratory in the University
of Lincoln, Neb., and Miss Jeanette
Creekpaum, soloist, who has had ex-
tensive voice training in the east.
The entertainment was held under
the auspices Of the Parent-Teacher
Association of Applegate.
They met with the warmest of en-
cores and all vote the Applegate folk
the most delightful hosts. The hall
was crowded to standing room and
the jolly Colleens generously re-
sponded TO numerous encores. Some
had come from nine to fifteen miles
over muddy country roads to attend.
Miss Calkins in little "skit" with
Miss Creekpaum impersonated to per-
fection The little Irish maid amilk-
in her cow" And the snap and
swing with which the Highland fling
was carried off in costume is well
worthy of mention.
Miss Creekpaum's solo selections
were both humorous and comical and
were heartily appreciated.
Miss Nellie Briggs accompanied the
young ladies in the capacity of piano
accompanist and filled in betweeI
changes with a reading and instru
mental numbers.
The program came to an end will

Cornelius for Council.

Councilman Cornelius during his
year on the council has proven an
ideal chairman of the street COM
mittee. Never in the city's history
has a chairman of this committee
given as much time to the work and
personally kept in touch with every
piece of work in his department, nor
accomplished so much with the small
expenditure as has Mr.. Cornelius.
Not a complaint referring to the
streets that he has not personally
examined, and the year is closing
with every complaint cared for, every
piece of work completed, and the
streets in better condition for winetr,
with its heavy rains, than ever be-
fore in the city's history
He has conserved the finances and
has $1,000 on hand in the street
fund.
His vote has been always with
every cause which had the best in
terests of the city involved. Without
his support much accomplished
would have been impossible.
The First ward cannot hope to Sc
cure representative more faithful
more dependable, more reliable and
of better judgment upon vital public
mattar scominO hafOra tha noupciI
than Mr. Cornelius.

Mr.. Biegel a Candidate.

Mr.. A. j. Biegel has accepted the
nomination for councilman in the
Third ward.
A resident of Ashland for eleven
years, he has during the past seven
years conducted a plumbing and
hardware business. He is an ardent
believer in the municipal ownership
of both the water and light utilities,
and in the proper development of the
city's springs water plan, as approved.
He states that 1.-The will of the people,

Veteran Newspaper Men of Louisiana
The writer, Thos. ]. Mangham,
is perfectly willing to gladly yield
to Brother w. H. Scanland, edi-
tor and proprietor of the Bossier
Banner, the title of the Oldest
newspaper man in Louisiana. for
the continuous management of
one paper for the longest term
of any man in the State, but not
of being the oldest newspaper

Another chapter was written in the
Georgetown councilmanic drama"
when two of the dry" members, j.

were ousted from the board.
The former was accused of selling
to the city $2.10 worth of groceries
cince holding office, and the latter of
renting to the city sprinkling wagon
by which the streets have been oiled.
Thacker made no defense, and Ham
brick pleaded mot guilty.
Thacker had brOdght charges of
contracting with city against three
of the wet" Councilmen, Lewis Sub
lett, James Fluke and James Dunn,
and a vote upon their expulsion has
been held up pending the decision of
the Court ofsAppeals. John S. Gaines
was appointed to fill Thacker's unex-
pired term. Hambrick's successor
has not been named.
On account of the differences be-
tween the two factions in the Council
the payroll for June has been held
up. On charge of contempt of court

NO JURISDICTION IN
CONCEALED WEAPON CASES

Police Judges and Magistrates have
no jurisdiction to try persons charged
with carrying concealed and deadly
weapons, under the act of 1914, in the
opinion of Assistant Attorney General
M. M. Logan. This act adds to the
penalty for the first conviction dis
reimbursement for two years, and he
believes that in keeping with its line
of decisions the Court of Appeals
would hold that this added penalty
would deprive the Magistrates of the
power to try such cases. County
Judge, under another act of 1914 have

If the "drys" win, the whole county
will go "dry" and the licensed sale of

Many persons have asked whether
the present dry precincts in the coun-

countrywide vote be wet at the Sep
TENDER election. 1t seems, after read

there can be no doubt in the matter.
The statute says that territory now
