offers an opportunity that can
not be overlooked to bring many
of these things to the favorable
attention of thousands OF people
IN other sections.
Hundreds of Mississippians
are gong to the big fair anyway.
Many Of them have already gone,
but would it not be we'll for as
many as possible to arrange to
make the trip with this special
and do a little something to help
the old State along?
1t really costs less to make the
trip on this train than on the
regular trains. Many courtesies
will be shown the party that an
individual would not have an op-
portunity of enjoying. Then
why not arrange to go with this
party and assist in the good
work undertaken?
There is a mistaken impress
ion that the train will onlv carry
county sponsors and officials.
Good people to the extent of
more than 100 can be accommo-
da Jed besides the sponsors and
officials. A cordial invitation is
extended to come along and Join

Mlsslssippians, you who are
going to the Exposition anyway,

Vaudeville, April 20. 1915.


Audubon was born In Vaudeville.
La. As Audubon's birthday will be
celebrated May 4th in all the schools
Of New Orleans why not puhlisl
Of his birth, that being IN,
our parish. Audubon's father was
French and had large properties n
Santo Domingo and frequently visit
ed. Louisiana, then owned by France.
During one of these excursions he
married lady Of Spanish extraction.
She was as beautiful as she was
wealthy and attractive, and three
sons and a daughter were born, John
James being the youngest. The con-
clusion is this, tnat Audubon was g
native Of our State, for II his mother
did not leave Louisiana for Santo
Domingo till shortly after his birth,
he certainly was born here. Now this
uncertainty as to the place OF Audu-
bon's birth has been put to rest by
the testimony Of en- eye witness. the
person OF old Mr.. Vaudeville Marfg-
ny, son Of the Marques Bernard de
Marigny. now dead some years. His
repeated statement to the writer was
that on Bernard de Marigny's planta-
ton at Vaudeville. La. on Lake
