Two car loads of cattle and one

Two car loads Of cattle and one
of hogs were shipped from st. Jo-
seph this week to st. Louis markets.
One car of cattle was shipped by
Mr.. JnO. c. Lindsey, one car by
Mr.. J. II. Rollins and the car of
hogs by Mr.. d. F. Ashford. Mr..
Rollins accompanied the shipment
to St. Louis. This may seem like a
very simple news item, but when
given proper consideration is quite
an important one. This stock was
all home raised and is of pure strain.
and will certainly fetch top-market
prices. The shipping of live stock
to northern markets was something
unknown in this parish before the
coming of the boil weevil; in fact
we imported salt meat and Kansas
dressed beef in great quantities.
We may yet he able to see where
the boil weevil has been a blessing
in disguise.
The pecan crop harvested this fall
is indeed the largest ever known in
the history of this parish, and thou
sands of dollars have been paid out
to our people, who gathered same
and brought to local markets. The
revenue thus derived has been of
untold help to many, and it really
looked, in fairy language, as if
money grew on trees. We really
hesitate to say just how much mon
ey has come. into our parish from
this source, but do believe twenty
thousand dollars would be ultra
conservative. One dealer at Newell
ton alone, Mr.. Hugo Jereslaw, paid
out over twelve hundred and fifty
dollars in less than three weeks,
and in the space of ten days shipped
over one hundred and twenty-five
barrels. The same is true of St.
Joseph and Waterproof, and many
country stores and merchants have
like story to tell. Truly we have
much to be thankful for! The bulk
Of this money went among the Ia
boring classes and was consequently
spent at home.
Mr.. Sidney Wise came up from,
Natchez to Waterproof this week
with big bunch of horses, which,
selling at close figures, he quickly
disposed of. He will probably come
to st. Joseph next week with an
other herd, which will give our peo-
pie opportunity to buy some young
stock.
The musical To he given at II. Joseph
about the Goth December by Miss David
son and Miss Van Hose for the benefit
of Christ Church will also assume the ma
ture Of bazaar and various little pieces
Of needle work, hand-painted china, etc,
all suitable for Xmas presents, will be on

Mr.. Miller:
las a breeder of cattle I appeal to
you to take some steps to prevent
railroads shipping cattle or horses
into this State until the foot and

ter South Carolina the loss will be
appalling"

PANAMA FESTIVAL CURTAILED.
Result Of Congressional Economy
Will be Elimination of Much OF
Proposed Programme.

Washington, March 4.-Many fea-
lures Of the elaborate exercises
planned for the formal opening of the
PanamH canal in July were aba rdoned
as result Of the action of congress
in refusing to make the appropriation
for the purpose asked Tor by Secre-
tary Garrison.
The appropriation requested was to
defray the expense of n trip to the
canal of President Wilson, members
of congress, members of the diplo-
matte corps, representative from for
eign governments and other special
guests, including Former Presidents
Roosevelt and Taft. 1t was intimated
tonight that the president himself
would not go to the formal opening,
but it is possible he may change his
present plans. The navy department
has an appropriation for sending the
fleet to the canal, and it was said some
kind of exercises probably would be
held.
All Of the presidents plans for the
spring and summer months were said
tonight to be dependent on the inter-
ma .ional situation.
