THE CATHOLIC FAIR.

i The Fair given at the James A.
Peterman Park for the benefit OF
the Catholic Church on last Satur.
day and Sunday, was a brilliant
success. The Park was crowded
each day with liberal patrons and
the amusements were beautiful
and entertaining.
The prettiest of the first day of
the fair was the flower parade.
Twenty-six little girls and boys
with their baby carriages dressed
in beautiful flowers paraded
around the fair grounds, formed a
brilliant scene of bewitching love-
liness and beauty.
The girl prize was awarded to
pretty little Miss Genevieve Alpha
and the boys prize was won by
little j. D. Broussard, Jr., who rep
resented Uncle Sam.
On Sunday the crowd on the
grounds was very large-many
coming to hear the public speak
ing, which had been announced
for 2 o'clock in ,the afternoon.
Promptly at that hour. Dr.. T. F.
Frere assembled the stand decor
ated with national flags and flowers
and called the meeting to order.
Hon. Rene H. Himel was selected
chairman of the meeting.
Judge w. P. Martin, the nomi-
nee of the Progressive party fol
Congress in the Third District,

1T is not generally known tc
travellers on the Ohio river tina,
their safety is looked after by 9
dog, but the steamboat captaint
know 1t andNare correspondingly
grAteful. The dog is known to the
river men as Old Shep and is the
property of a Waterman who is
employed by the government al
Silver Grove, Kentucky, to place
.the-- danger signals in order to
warn approaching steamboats, and
other craft. Just before sundowu
the Waterman and his dog can be
seen coming down the river bank,
The Waterman stands on the bank
while Shep picks up lantern in
his mouth and runs to the end Of
the dixie where the lantern is
placed in position. The dog will
return to his master and the two

Southeastern Reflections.

Owing to the lateness of the
sweet potato crop this season,
farmers are advised to defer dig.
cling them for time in order that
they may attain full maturity,
when they may be dug and stored
until December, or January. In
order to get the advantage OF the
early market pumkin yam vines
should be planted during the last
Of April and first of May; then
they will mature by August, when
the market 10 always good. This
year the vines were planted late
and a backwar season put the
harvest period beyond the time
when Texas and Georgia potatoes
glutted the market. People seldom
get good out of war, but this year

European conflict. You know,

men, are bound to eat; and no.
thing is more certain than when
they are fighting they are not
making crops. Likewise when
they are romping all over their
wheat fields and fertilizing them
with human gore, they are making
nothing and destroying what they
have. So, We, farmers, have the
Christian duty imposed upon US
of feeding the fighters of Europe
and their families. How many
European soldiers is the South
west Louisiana farmer going to
feed out of his presentyear's crop!
Suppose we had-as we ought to
have-twenty million pounds OF
pork products and an equal
amount of beef and mutton to sell
to Europe this fall and winter
wouldn't it be fine? Can any
body give a sane reason why we
haven't these things now? Indif.
ference, cit can't be DONE, "I'
pays better to grow cotton or sugar

course it doesn't. Look at the

Barnes Circus Here Oct. 9TH.

The AL. G. Barnes Big three.
Ring Wild Animal Circus is com.
ing, and will give two perform
ances here on Monday, Oct. 9Th.
The coming of this great wild
animal show always ELECTS a great
deal Of interest, as no other circus
equals the Barnes shows for the
multitude of entirely original wild
animal features presented. Practi-
cally the entire entertainment
provided by this is given by the
use of educated animals-60O in
number-animals of almost every
known species. The show ia still
q circus, however a circus from
which all tiresome and objection
able features have been elimin-
ated, but which retains the many
traditional elements that for years
have made the circus the most
popular form of entertainment.
For instance, there are innumer-
able equestrians, acrobats, Jug
glers, tumblers, high divers, bare
back riders, etc. The performers
are animals, yet their work is
done with as much, or even great.
er proficiency than one is accus-
toned to see in the human. The
only exception to this rule are the
clowns-twelve of them, funny
ones too-for a circus would not
be true to tradition without clowns.
There's sawdust rings and pink
lemonade, for what's circus
without them, otherwise the
Barnes Circus is an animal show,
exclusively so. Prominent among
the great feature acts presented
are Tom, Dick and Harry. Jug
Cling horse.riding sea lions;
Sampson, the aviation lion, that
rides to the top of the tent sur
rounded by shooting sky rockets;
Big Bill the wrestling grizzly !;
Mile. Florine and troupe of Per-

Mabel Stark and group of Royal
Bengal and Siberian tigers; the
horse riding lions and bears;
high diving dogs and monkeys,
and the Barnes troupe of educat-
ed Worlds premium horses and
ponies-55O of them. The big
sensational, thrilling spectacle Of
the program is the group of
twenty-four, man.eating African
lions shown in one act by Herr
Louie Roth. These lions are
valued at $4,000 and represent
the greatest wild animal act ever
known. Fifty comedy elephants,
bears, monkeys, dogs, goats,

Death Of Mr.. James G. FourIny

Mr.. James Campbell Fourmy died
here on Wednesday morning last
at the age Of 81 years. Though he
had been an invalid for months
and his friende knew that the
sands of his lie. would soon run
out, still the abrupt coming OF
death, and the unexpected man
ner of it's coming. cast the black
shadows of sadness and gloom
over the whole community. He
was not permitted to die at his
home in the midst of his loved
ones; but surrounded by the
needless hustle of life's activities
he died struggling to perform a
social duty. his tired, over.bur-
dened body broke down and his
soul passed away.
Mr.. Fourmy was an exemplary
citizen, born in Franklin in the
year 1847, he devoted all the years
of his life since manhood in shar-
ing the labors of his fellow-citi-
zens in the protecting and the
upbuilding of the interest OF his
parish which he loved and served
so well. His private life was pure
| and without reproach. He was
Just in all his dealings with his
fellow men. OF him it may be
truly said that he has left to his
children "the proud heritage of a
pure conscience and an honest
name."
He was Confederate veteran.
AS a member of Company of
Terry's Scouts he fought va)iantly
in the war of the Southern Con-
federacy.
It was a pathetic scene to be-
hold a gray-headed company OF
his fellow-veterans following him
to the grave there to pay the last
sad tribute of respect to the vir-
tues and bravery of that dead
comrade.
He was an active member OF
Franklin Lodge No. 81, F. & A.
M, for forty years. The correct
teachings and philosophy of that
order were exemplified in his fair
and upright life. The funeral
took place on yesterday morning
at 10 O'Clock from the Episcopal
church. After the Christian
burial services of the Episcopal
church, his brother Masons took
Echarge of his body and consigned
it to It's Mother Earth in accord
ance with the beautiful ritual OF
the time-honored order. The
pall-bearers we're: Messrs. A. G.
Allen, j. T. Gordy, R. r. Cooke.
J. S. Underwood, w. H. Latham
and A. G.. Reeves.
Mr.. Fourmy is survived by q
widow, two daughters, Mrs. Ear
Hine, of New Iberia, and Miss
| Martha Fourmy. and four sons,
James C. Fourmy. of Chattanooga
Tenn, CarroLFourmy, of Hunts
vile, Alabama, Victor and Under
wood Fourmy, and several
brothers and sisters. To them the
Banner extends its tenderest sym
pathy, knowing full we'll that hui
man sympathy cannot assuage
grief like theirs, but they have
the sweetest and comforting as.
surance that their loved one has
passed over the River OF Life and
is now awaiting their coming in
the immortal life of love and
peace and Joy.
