Receipts Of the Post
Office Show Covington Entitled
to Mail Delivery and Buildinq

In spite Of all the knocking, Gov
ington is giving many evidences. that
she is going right ahead. The banks
are in fine condition and business
houses are probably doing better than
in a good many sections. Some
houses report April collections as
surprisingly good.
On top of this Postmaster Seller
has a broad grin ON his face. and he
is entitled to 1t. The post Office bust
ness is better than it has been for
q good many years. In fac. we are
now in position where we have a
right to demand mail delivery. We
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1915-04-24

have been told that II we wished the
mail man to knock at the door and
hand us our mail without the trouble
OF going after 1t. the receipts OF our
office must be $4,000 Z year. Well,
we have reached that point. The re-
ceipts for the year ending March 81,
1914. were $8,556.56. The receipts
for the year ending March 81, 1915.
were $1O,OO1.47. an increase Of
$l444.91. This showing is one that
should please everybody, and it can't
be laid to the war.

Abita VS.. Madisonville.
The Abita Springs baseball team
will play the Madisonville team at the
ball park in Abita Springs, Sunday,
April 25. Game will commence at
1880 p. m. Admission Is cents.
This is the opening of the new sea-
son. There were some excellent
games played at this park last sea-
son. A park was built at consider
able expense in order to give visitors
and others at Abita an opportunity
to see some good ball playing. This
effort to add to public amusement
should receive the support 1t de-
serves. There is a comfortable grand
stand and it is promised that the
game will be worth seeing.
st. Paul VS.. Jesuits High School.
Sunday, April 25th, the Jesuit
High School of New Orleans will
meet the St. PauPs College of Cow

ship last year, and have already this
year beaten some of the best semi
pro baseball teams in the city of New
Orleans. They have also beaten the

"Covington Grocery & Grains" is
a new baseball team that promises to
make the game interesting to the
public this season. The team will
be under the management of Joe
Federico. Joe says he has the ma
terial to make good on, ana if the
club don't draw the crowds it will
simply be because there is nothing
doing in this line of amusement in
st. Tammany.
Baseball is the national game of
the United States. It is one of the
cleanest of games and generally
awakens more enthusiasm to the
square inch than anything that can
be used to dump big crowd into
a vacant lot or an enclosed field.
A good fan will go without dinner
and pawn his necktie for the privi-
lege of roofing for his home team,
it he is given the least chance to be
proud of it. Then what's the matter
with putting a little ginger in the
home enthusiasm. / will give that
tired feeling chance to die.
In picking out the Covington Gro
Gerry & Grain Co. as an angel, Joe
shows that there are no soft spots on
the inside of his Uranium. If the
club keeps up to the reputation of
this company it will soon be hum
mer and success. No concern in
the parish is more up-to-date, and
under the management of E. J. Do
mergue, Jr.. it has made wonderful
advancement as a commercial enter
prise. 1t is also notable that this
company has always been a liberal
contributor to every movement that
spelled the betterment of st. Tam
many parish. The new suits of the
club have been donated by this COM
pany. 1t is very pretty suit Of gray
with black stockings.

The women of Covington have
worked hard for the success Of
the convention, and they are en-
titled to the satisfaction Of know
ing that their efforts have borne
fruit. Perhaps the greatest nov
city Of the convention will be the
big outdoor luncheon in the shad-
ow Of the pavilion and the trees.
The exceptionally warm weather
