WILL SUSPEND TAXES.
Police jury to Remit Vehicle Impost
in Road Districts.


In the event of the adoption of the
proposition to issue bonds to the
amount of $4,000 in Road District
No. 2 of the parish of Ascension, for
the purpose of constructing gravel
roads, it has been facility reed
among the members of the police
jury that the collection of the vehicle
and per capita taxes in that district
will be suspended during the period
for which the bonds are to run. This
understanding was arrived at after
an informal discussion of the subject
at the recent meeting of the police
jury, it being the general opinion of
the members present that the prop
erty owners residing within Road Dis
trict No. 2, upon voting to tax them
selves for the construction of gravel
roads. should be relieved of the pay
ment of the other taxes named.
which are assessed for the purpose
of providing funds to keep the roads
in repair.
Similarly, it was decided to sus-
pea& the collection of the vehicle tax
if<rhe First Road District, contingent
upon the favorable consideration of
the two propositions to be submitted
to the property owners of that dis
trict at the special election scheduled
for Tuesday, Oct. 10. The remission
of this tax in the first district will |
mean quite saving to planters and I
others who own and operate a num-
Der of vehicles, and in the case of I
many property owners residing with
in the district will go long way to-
ward compromising for the small out
lay that will be entailed by the adj
option of the propositions to issue
bonds and levy special tax of one
and one-half mills for the building
md maintenance of gravel roads with
n the district. u

OBSERVING SACRED HOLIDAY
Solemn Religious Ceremonies Mark
Jewish Day of Atonement.

Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atone
ment, the most sacred of all Jewish
festivals, was ushered in at sunset
houses of all our Jewish citizens
are closed. Impressive services in
commemoration of the solemn feast
were held at Bikur Cholim Synagogue
last evening and again at 10 o'clock
this morning, with many worshippers
in attendance
The purpose of the Day of Atone
ment is clearly indicated by its name.
1t is intended to complete and crown
the work of the penitential season,
begun on the first of Tishri New
Year,, by finally reconciling the soul
with the Almighty. Implicitly trust
ing in the divine forgiveness, the Is
raelite believes that his contrition, if
it be really sincere, will atone for him,
will make him Eat one" once more
with his Heavenly Father. The day,
then. is devoted to supreme effort of
penitence, to a mighty endeavor after
communion with the Almighty. It is
spent in prayer and meditation
1t is kept, too, as a fast, in obedi-
ence to the command given III Levitt
icus XVI. 1884 and XIII. 1852,
where the expression "aff1ict his soul"
must be understood, in accordance
with the traditional Interpretation, as
synonymous with fasting.
The chief, the real aim of the Day
of Atonement is the return from evil
to good, or in other words, the recon
citation Of the individual soul with
the eternal right, which is OF God.
All the external elements of the days
observance-its worship and austeri-
ties-are intended to promote this SUI
preme purpose. They cannot do duty
for it. The act of fasting is partly
to serve as a self-imposed chastise-
ment, and partly it has a reflex infu-
ence. For hunger and weakness tell
upon the conscience; they mortify
pride, break down obstinacy, cast men
down before God in humility and con-
triton. But fasting does even more
than that. Taking the worshipper
away from such carnal occupation as
eating and drinking, it helps to fix
his thoughts upon the needs of the
soul. 1t makes the day one of physia
cal abstinence and self denial, but al
SO Of correspondingly increased spirit
uality.
The sublime Neilah prayers consti-
tute the closing service of the day.
Here the triumphant note of recon-
with God sounds clear. The
prayers advance in the scale of
ecstasy and the worship of the day
eliminates in the glorious outburst by
the assembled multitude of Israel's
great watchword, Hear O Israel, the
Lord is Our God, the Lord is One"
and its accompanying phrase, "Prais-
ed by the glorious name of His King
dom forever and ever" the whole
closing with the stirring confession,
spoken seven times, "Adonoy hui hoe
Iohim, = the Lord is God, the Lord is
God"
