it impossible for the farmer to till

it was so light that it did no harm
What seed is in has mostly had a

will keep out long enough to permit

TYLERT0WN BANK NOW
GUARANTEES ALL DEPOSITS

On April 6, 1915 the Tylertown
Bank received from the State Bank
ing Department Certificate of Guar
anty 1853, certifying that they had
complied with all the provisions of
the Mississippi Banking Law of 1914,
and that their deposits are now
Guaranteed by the Bank Depositors
Guaranty Fund Of the State of Miss
issippi.
The Tylertown Bank is one OF the
chain of Banks known as Hampton
Banks" others being located at Mag
nolia, Columbia, Wesson McComb
and Mt. Olive, and has always been
regarded as one of the strongest
and best Banks in South Mississippi.
The Tylertown Bank began business
on October 22nd, 1905 with L. L.
hampton, President, j. c. Rimes
Vice President, and W. H. Morse,
Cashier, which officers have held
their respective positions from or.
ganization to the present time.
During this period of nine years the
institution has grown steadily and
their deposits have increased from
time to time until now they approx
mate $30O,O0O.00. 1t has always
been their policy to conserve the
interests of their Depositors first, and
the making of money for sharehold-
ers a secondary consideration.
This no doubt accounts for the con-
fidence enjoyed by them from the
patronizing public and speaks we'll
for their business like methods,
the courteous treatment received at
their hands, and the efficient service
rendered.
Very few, if any have ever felt
any uneasiness about the safety of
their deposits in the Tylertown
Bank, ard now with the Guaranty
feature added there should be abso.
lutely No apprehension whatever
Those that have heretofore been
afraid of Banks, should no longer
hoard their money away at home

BOCAlUSA To GET A
RURAL ROUTE DELIVERY
Will Go To FranklintOn On
One Side OfCreek And
Return On Other

Indications are that Bogalusa will
soon have a rural delivery, a fea-
ture that this city has long wanted,
and will do much to bring Bogalusa
to the door of over one hundred
families. J. X. johnson, some few
days ago started work to secure
this much needed system and an
nouncement has been made that the
cooperation received practically in
sures the securing of this rural
route. The route, as planned would
serve over 100 families between
B, galusa and Franklinton. The
route to Franklinton would be on
the lower side of the creek and the
return route on the upper side.
The 100 families to be served,
and the roads being placed and
kept in good conditions, are the
conditions required Of the postal
department. Postmaster Wilcox is
lending his cooperation in the
movement and those connected
with the work are confident that
the rural route Of Boealusa will
soon be a fact instead of a dream.

TIMELY INFORMATION
ON swat THE Fly
DIR. Lindsey Sends Out In
formation That All
Should Read

Dr.. McCavock Lindsey, director
of the Peoples College, at Nashville,
Tenn, and a brother of j. B. Lindsey
president Of the Washington Bank &
Trust Co., has issued some valuable
information regarding the eradicat-
ion Of the fly. The object of the
college Of which DR.. Lindsey is dir
ector is to eradicate all parasites
which cause or transmit disease.
Following are the suggestions he
offered to get rid of the flies, by
a series of questions and answers
Q. How do you expect to ex-
terminate the flies in Bogalusa.
A. This can be done by co-opera.
ton of the people.
y. How would you carry on a
campaign Of determination?
A. After organizing and getting
the peoples minds made up to have
a f1yless city, we would break the
cycle between the flies and the
incubator.
Q. Won't a manure pile or gar
base can produce flies
A. No; the manure pile is one of
the best incubators. The garbage
can is only feeding place.
O. What other incubators have
we besides manure piles?
A. An incubator must contain
heat and moisture, such as the ma
nure pile, old rags, wet paper, de-
caying leaves, hay, rich soft dirt,
and the thousand and one toilets
without sewer connections.
Q. With all these incubators
how can you eradicate the flies?
A. The incubators cannot pro.
duce flies without fly eggs. Nc
flies, no fly eggs. No eggs for the
incubator and the incubator is
harmless.
Q. Won't you try to destroy the
incucators?
A. We will destroy the fly and
as sanitation progresses the incu'
batOrs will be abolished.
Q. What's means will you take
to destroy the fly?
A. The fly is the easiest Of all
pests to destroy. Did you ever
think Of it? The same energy i,
takes to open and shut a screen
door will destroy all flies in the city
of Bogalusa. The place to catch
the fly is where they feed; for in
stance, the garbage can should be a
fly trap. The fly paper should be
used in every place where the flies
exist as we'll as the different fly
poisons, traps, cts. Destroy the fly
at its eating place before it can gel
back to the incubator to lay eggs
and we will have a flyless city.
If you want any further informa
ton on the destruction Of parasite:
write.

recommendation should be made to the

recently made by the pension board,
979 applications for pensions were al

a quarter, or about $1.75 a month.
The board little realized there would
be so many applications, but out of
the total of 1900 only 979 came with

K. Of P.LODGE
MAY SECURE BIC
ORCHESTRA
REPRESENTATIVE OF NEW YORK
PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA is
IN THE CITY GOING OVER DE-
TAILS WITH LODGE OFFICERS.

Max Elser of Fort Worth, booking
agent for the New York Philharmonic
orchestra, is in the city making ar
rangements with the Knights of Py-
thas lodge for the appearance of the
great musical organization in this city
about the first of May.
The matter is being considered by
the lodge and will be discussed at the
meeting tonight 1t would be a fine
stunt to bring that great organization
to Ardmore next spring as by that time
the city will be in large way restored
and nothing would better demonstrate
the Ardmore spirit of doing something
when apparently down and out, than
having a musical festival at this time
to celebrate the newer and better Ard
more.
The Philharmonic Society of New
York, which is about to enter upon
its seventy-third season, is the oldest
institution of its kind in America;
in fact, in the whole world there are
few organizations which were in ex-
istence when the Philharmonic was
founded. The aim of the societys
founders in 1912 was to attain tie
highest artistic standard possible and
with the ideals of orchestral playing
continually advancing since that time
the Philharmonic standard has kept
pace with that of the best orchestras
of the world.

UNION DEPOT
PLANS NOT FOR
THE PUBLIC
JUST WHAT THEY ARE HAS NOT
BEEN MADE KNOWN. lNTIMAT-
ED THIS CITY WILL GET BET
TER STATION THAN EXPECTED.

When asked about the new union
station yesterday, one prominent Santa
Fe official stated that definite plans
had not been formulated so far as he
knew but he gave assurance that the
article appearing in the Ardmoreite of
recent date was not far off the mark in
every detail. If that is true then the
new station will be situated some
what north of where the old one was
located, and in all probability as stated
at the time, the station and platform
sheds would cover the entire distance
between Main and Broadway, which
would make it accessible from either
thoroughfare and would be far more
convenient than the old station was
for general traffic. The idea Of open
ing Broadway east of the railroad
tracks, seems to have been forever
abandoned the city engineer made an
estimate of the cost, which was pro
and also in his report stated
that there was no necessity for the
street ever to be opened. These facts,
together with the fact that the city is
bound by a contract with the Santa Fe
in lieu of certain other privileges
granted the city, not to open the
street makes it highly improbable
that the street ever will be opened
For the above reasons it is believed
that the new station will be so con-
structed as to cover the territory men
Toned above.

killing deer, although the season
does not open until Nov. 10. Nine

Brownsville, Texas, Oct. 21.-About
seventy-five Mexicans this morning al
two o'clock attacked fifteen American
soldiers at Ojo del Aqua, small Mex
lean settlement on the American side
about sixty miles up the Rio Grande
from here.
Three soldiers were killed and eight
wounded, and at least five of the Mex
leans killed in the forty-minute bat
tie which followed.
The Mexicans fled when Captain
Frank R. Mccoy arrived about forty
five minutes after the beginning of the
fight, from Mission, with two troops
of cavalry. Most of the bandits fled
across the Rio Grande.
The Mexicans slain in the fight had
white hat bands bearing the words
Viva Villa"
II is learned that Luis de la Rosa,
Who led the train robbers here Monday
light, escaped across to the Mexican
iide of the river and was seen yes
.erday at a point nearly opposite ojo
ieI Aqua, where he had camp.
The Carranza consul here went to
hatamoros today bearing an urgent re-
,uest for action from the Mexican
authorities to General Lopez, the Car

MORE RUNQRS
Of BIC HOTEL
BUILDING
OIL OPERATORS INTERESTED
IN PROMOTING SCHEME FOR
BUILDING OF TEN-STORY MOD
ERN HOTEL.

The rumor of a stock company to
erect a ten-story hotel building seems
10 have gained momentum, and last
night it was again discussed by a
party Of successful oil operators, who,
it is intimated, are going to be fnan-
cially interested in the deal
1t seems that they have two propo-
sitions on foot, one to erect a building
at the corner Of West Main and c
streets, and the other to buy the Whit
tington hotel lot of Captain Whiting
ton and erect the hotel on the site
Of the old Wilmington.
Captain Wilmington has stated he
was going to rebuild as soon as he
had made settlement with the rail
way company, but as he is a natural
born trader, there is little doubt
but what a deal could be made with
him, as he has been anxious for some
time to retire from the hotel bust
ness. However, all plans for the
present are up in the air" and until
settlement is made for damages with
the Santa Fe, nothing definite will be
done. After this, however, something
in the way of hotel construction is
likely to occur, as those who are
promoting the scheme believe a mod
ern hotel in this city would be a
paying proposition.
