90 straight for or against, and VIII
probably remain in that condition I'M
til the plans and routes are laid before
the people and we feel free to say that
unless the routes arepermanently fixed
before the 9th of July the vote will be
very light in favor of same if. We do
not mean that every voter wants the
gravel road at his gate, but every
voter wants the most good for the
most people, so we don't want 10 vote
against the question of gravel roads
either for the question of gravel road,
unless we know we are voting the
right way ana for the right thing as
we like being in line with all voting
the good of our parish and our people
and our treasure.

eral weeks ago with her little daughter
Eva Savent, for the charity hospital OF
New Orleans to perform an operation
for spinal trouble. Whether the oper'
alton was performed or not we did not
learn, but the little girl Eva died in

nesday and the remains were sent to
Kinder via the Frisco r. Z. Wednesday
arriving there about 2:3O a. m. Thurs

der Thursday and were laid to rest in
the family cemetery near MIR. John
Hays residence at Thompson. The
mother Mrs. Mid Langley was with her
daughter all during the time in New
Orleans and came back on the same
train. We have heart full for the
mother in her trip of sorrow, and the
many friends join Mr.. and Mrs. Langley
in their hours of sorrow. May the
angels in Heaven be happy for
ever that we may meet them on
that beautiful shore, when our tolls on
earth have ceased.

is amediately given!and we hope to see
! Mrs. Miller out again soon without the
operation.

Two boys, the sons of Mr.. Ames
Moore and James Fontenot left home
to 60 fishing at the river near Philips
Bluff. II appears they decided to go
in swimming after they arrived at the
river, as their clothes and hats were
found on the bank which i S evidence
that they meant to battle while they
were fishing. And as they did not
show up Monday night search was
started by all the people of that and ad.
joining vicinity the search was carried
On until Thursday before any signs
were discovered. Near noon one of the
bodies rose to the top of the water
which gave evidence that the other
body was probably near by. A charge
of dynamite was exploded in the water
bottom which caused the other body to
rise. The belief is that las one of the
boys could not SWIM he got out to far
from the shore and callad for help,
2 and as the other boy could not swim,
went to help him and both were
drowned. Both boys were under IL
: years old.

larger than usual, and if the weather
permits the June corn planting, why
from the present appearance there will
be nothing doing for the man with a
feed store in our vicinity.
