A Wolf Hunt in Ward Three.

Mill Creek, La, Oct. Ia, 1916.
Editor Colfar Chronicle:
We want to thank Mr.. Hillary Walk
er for bringing his friends and wolf
hounds here on the 7th. We had fine
time chasing wolves in ward three, and
l am bound to say Mr.. Walker has the
best and swiftest pack of hounds in
the country. The first race lasted As
minutes, and the wolf was killed by
Uncle Lot Barrett, Billie johnson, and
others, half mile below Corner Bluff
on Little River. There were two
wolves on the east side of the river,
and two on the west side, and three in
the river and swamp with the big wolf.
The second race lasted two hours, and
the wolf was killed by Ira Beavers and
James Cooper in the 7-mile bend in
Fish creek. 1t was one of the biggest
wolves that has ever been killed in
this part of the State, and our people
will surely be thankful to see Mr.. Walk
er and friends come again with that
fine pact of hounds.

Good news bears repeating, and when
it is confirmed after a long lapse OF
time, even if we hesitated to believe il
it at first hearing, we feel secure in ac-
cepting its truth now. The following
experience of an Alexandria man is
confirmed after five years.
j. B. Gibson, 422 Lee St., Alexan-
dria, La, says: 81 had weak kidneys
since a boy and my back often gave
out. AS the years went by the trou-
bic became worse and my back was
most troublesome. The kidney secre-
lions were too frequent and painful in
passage and often had to arise at
night. Three boxes of Doan's Kidney
Pills benefited me in every way. My
back became stronger and my kidneys
became regular in action" Estate

Contract Let to Rebuild the Pollock
High School.

Last week we published a com
munication from Citizen" as.
sertlng that our statement made
two weeks ago. that the contract
to rebuild the Pollock high school,
building was erroneous. We find
on investigation that citizen is
the mistaken party when he
says: The contract was not let
last Saturday (Oct. y and dare
say none will be until those most
concerned are considered"
A reference to the proceedings
of the school board, which we
publish on our last page, will
show that such a contract was
duly authorized, and it has been
definitely entered into and was
signed up on Oct. z, just as we
said.
We take it that the letting of
this contract to Mr.. Jim Mccain
mon, as the representative of-the
General Construction Co., was
perfectly legitimate and legal, or
Mr.. Stewart, the board member
of ward two, would not have ap-
proved it. We know nothing
about the local chickering's that
seem to disturb the community.
according to Citizens account:
but we do know that intemper-
ate words and acts have never
yet helped to harmonic differ
ences among any people. We
think that the school proposition
and everything growing out of
it is simply matter of business. |
and if the parties to any of the
transaction will proceed in al
temperate business way it can all |
be settled. Somebody may have
to give and take in the way of
compromise, but it can be done
if good judgment is exercised.
This is not the first time we
have seen Pollock and other COM
greatly disturbed, but
time has Modified them all. One
time, in particular, we remember
some years ago, when Rev. Iley
NJ. Brian, Major w. P. Guynes

umored. and all will come out ,
