Mr.. Will Martien, of Waterproof, who
played ball with the Tensas team in the
match game with Concordia, at st. Jo-
seph, last Tuesday evening, was seized
with q severe attack of congestion and
for some time his condition was most
alarming. Indeed he was so i'll that it is
believed had not medical attention been
Immediately available he might not have
recovered. For several hours Drs. Lilly
and Trice worked increasingly and the
patient really owes his life to their I'M
firing efforts. Mr.. Martien was taken to
Sheriff John Hughes home where every
attention possible was given him and his
parents came up early next morning and
by careful nursing his condition is now
30 much improved that he has returned
home.

Miss Maude Frazier, Of Gloster, Miss.
arrived this week to accept the position
OF night operator at the st. Joseph ex-
change, vice Miss Ruth Powell, resigned.
Miss Powell has given up her place after
nine months faithful service, during which
time she worked 269 nights out OF 27O,
having taken just one night off during
her entire stay in st. Joseph, and which
was spent with friend at Newellton.
The service rendered by her has ever
been most satisfactory, and without ex-
ception we feel sure every patron of the
exchange will regret to see her leave, and
whose good wishes she carries wherever
she may 60. We understand it is Miss
PowelPs intention to enter commercial
school with view of fitting herself for
stenographic and other clerical work.

Mr.. X. A. Bourgeois, Of New Roads,

Mr.. Bourgeois has had considerable ex-
perience in conducting moving picture
shows and has one outfit now in opera
ton at Morganza, La. He has Just pur-
chased a new electric lighting plant which
will be used to light the hall and also to
operate the fans, with which the hall
will be cooled. Considerable time will be
required to get the plant in operation,
but Mr.. Burgois expects to give his first
performance next Friday night, and will
show regularly twice week thereafter
We understand he also expects to make
arrangements 10 give semi-weekly exhibi-
tions at the hall Of colored Knights Of
Pythias. This is the first moving picture
show OF any consequence to exhibit here
and the plant Mr.. Burgois is installing
represents quite an investment, and un-
less the shows are well patronized he can
not remain long with us. The pictures
he will show will consist of four-reel acts
and are all clean and high class and
well worth seeing and we trust the pat
ronage will be liberal

the success Of this deal had meant

Helen watched every movement Of
his strong. capable hands as he carved
the guinea hen. There was no one
like him 4 dozen times since they
had been sitting there she had told
herself that. There was no one TO
whom the walters gave such attentive
service, no one who had such an air
