barn owned by Kirk Knox on his
place just narth of Ed Cotton store
last Friday morning. No one
was near the building when the
fire started and the blaze had gain
ed great Roadway before it was no

quickly and soon had the fire under
control. They did good work and
deserve much credit for their eff

fire, and buggy was brokne up
quite badly while being re-
moved from the building.

ADAMs.kIlBRIDE.

ADAMS-KILBRIDE-At s o'clock a.
M, Thursday, in the parlors of the
Jesuit Church, by Rev. Father Muir.
ply, Mr.. FRANK o. ADAMS, JR..
of Tampa, Fla, to Mss CARRIE
KILBRIDE OF this city.
No cards.
The above notice from the Times
Picayune announcing the marriage
nf Mr.. rank 0. Adams, Jr., t.
Miss Carrie Kilbridc comes as !.
great and pleasant surprise to thu
numerous friends of the groom in
Mr.. Adams is the eldest son oi
Frank O. Adams and Susie Drake
representing two families that hav,
long been among the most promi.
nent in the business and social life
II this parish. As student Mr..
Adams took standing that did high
,redit to his industry and capacity
and since has developed unusual
talent in his chosen profession and
IS now recognized as one of the
most thoroughly equipped and gift
-d young architects in the South.
After graduation he accepted the
position as principal of the St. Jo-
seph High School. This was at a
time when school matters were far
from ideal in this parish, and to
MIR. Adams is largely due the credit
for organizing and placing this
school on the high plane that it has
since maintained. After leaving St.
Joseph he took several years special
work in one of the leading Eastern
schools of technology, and then as
ISOLATED himself with a prominent
firm in Birmingham,
Alabama, and has prepared the
plans and superintended their exc
cution for many of the handsomest
and most costly buildings in that
city. Recently he has located in
Tampa, Florida, believing that the
for success in his pro-
fession were especially bright in that
city.
1t is whispered that this marriage
is the fruition of a romance dating
back a number of years and while
we have not the pleasure of know
ing the bride, we feel sure that
Mr.. Adams has chosen mate with
all those high qualities, accomplish
ments and attractions that would
accord with his known standards
and chivalrOus ideals.

The dance given at the ball on
Tuesday night formed another link
in the chain of delightful entertain
ments that have enlivened our COM
munity and contributed so much to
the pleasure of our people the past
summer. Bud Scott's Band dis
cOursed the music for the occasion,
which is sufficient guarantee that
the affair was one of unusual at
traction. The attendance while large
was not as large as such occasions
deserve and the promoters fell lit
tie short ON expenses, necessitating
anassessment among several to meet
the deficit. The ladies very gener-
osuly contributed the refreshments,
consisting of delicious sandwiches,
ice tea and coffee, and the luncheon
served was enjoyed by every one
present. Almost every section of the
parish was represented, one car
coming from Fayette, Miss. Alto
gether the affair was delightful and
will be remembered with greatest
pleasure by all who attended.

st. Joseph, La, July 81, 1914.
Owing to the existence of Bubonic
Plague in New Orleans it is the duty of
every one to take precaution to prevent
its spread. This horrible disease is caused
by the flea that has been infected by by
biting rat that has the disease. 1t is
possible for an infected rat to reach any
part OF the United States by boat or train
20 we do not know when the disease
might make its appearance among us.
Trap, kill, or poison the rat. As town
Health Officer, will pay two cents for
very dead rat killed in town. Every
body get busy, boys especially. See that
1our yards are clean and well drained,
anks, cisterns and water barrels oiled
'r screened. Don't wait for the inspector

make st. Joseph rat, fly. mosquito and
iirt and disease proof. AS your Health

Deafness Cannot Be- Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is only by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infiamed condi-
ton OF the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have rumbling sound of imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
hamation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases ont
of ten are caused by Catarrll, which is
nothing but inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case Of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for particulars.

lion.

SENATOR GEORGE CLINTON.
(Concordia Sentinel.)

There are few young men in pub
lie life in Louisiana coming more
rapidly to the front than Hon. Geo.
Clinton, of Tensas parish, who rep
resents the Senatorial District of
Concordia and Tensas in the State
legislature, and there are likewise
few who are more deserving of prom
inence or better endowed and equip
ped for political preterment at the
hands of his fellow-voters either Of
the District or State.
The following extract from a New
Orleans contemporary is calculated
to make one believe that he is about
to shy his castor into the ring"
as Lieutenant-G ubernatorial can
didate, if he does he will make a
mighty fine race, he will lead the
van, and in the end will not he
set down as the also's ran. He is
well known all over the Common
wealth, held in universal esteem,
and there are not few who believe
that he is well and fully equipped
to discharge all the high dignified
responsibilities of that important
office in a manner that will not only
reflect credit upon himself but like
wise great honor upon the entire
State of Louisiana.
The extract alluded to reads las
follows.
Geo. II. Clinton, of Tensas, is the first
actual candidate to announce for State
office. Mr.. Clinton is planning to make
the race for Lieutenant Governor. He has
been in New Orleans for several days
looking over and discussing local support
with friends.
Mr.. Clinton's name was mentioned in
connection with second place three years
ago, but largely because of an unwilling
ness to make the race against Lieutenant
Governor Barrel, the Tensas Senator did
not get into the game. He is said to he
actively at work now, however, and I'M
less affairs shape themselves 80 a. tn
make the effort inadvisable the Senator
will announce in due time.
