Safety First.

Who has turnedColumbia into q
horse and mule ra"ch? What has
become Of our City Marshall?
Where is our Mayor and Board Of
Alderman, that they permit
people who have no regards for
the safety of our little children
toaIloW their stock to roam at
lodge and in drOveS through the
streets Of the town. Quite often
stock heard up on the side walk
and it takes a grow person with
a club to move them. This is very
dangerous for our little children
who go to school, and our town
authorities should take the mat,
ter in hand and make the streets
a place of safety for our little
boys and girls who go to school.
before some of them meet with
an unfortunate accident and pos
sibIe death which would be due
to our great neglect.

Stop! Look! and Listen!

The Watchm&" IS in receipt of
the following Circular that is be-
ing distributed by the &c. & Y.
e NV. railroad companies, We
are afraid our friends who are
fortunate enough to oWna car
has grown just a little careless
in this respect, and we advise
them to head the warning and
play safety first (Ed.)
Illinois General R.R. Co.
The YaZoo & Mississippi Valley
Railroad Company.
To those who drive or ride in
automobiles:
The constantly increasing num-
Der of automobile accidents at
grade crossings prompts the is
suance Of this warning to all who
own, drive or ride in automobiles
to STOP, LOOK and LISTEN
before passing over any railway
grade crossing,
Crossing gated, automatic warn
ing talls, electric headlights and
engine signals, if not needed by
those for. whose protection they
are extended, are unavailing.
| will be glad to receive and
consider suggestions intended
to reduce automobile accidents
at grade crossings, for the rail-
road is anxious to do it's part.
However, if every person who
owns, drives'or rides in an auto
mobile will STOP, LOOK and
LISTEN at grade crossings, the
danger will be entirely elemin.

Business and Religion

The religion of some people is
of such a peculiar shade that it
will not do very we'll to mix it
with their business interests.
In every church throughout our
state we find men and women
whose profession are not carry
ing weight because everybody
knows that they would give up a
seat in Heaven for the chance of
makeing dollars while on earth.
The pursuit of pleasure and
the mad race after money is 60
ing tocause alot disappointment
when the familycircules are being
made up under the benefcent eye
of the Great Jehovah. There will
be families with more than one
vacant chair, and the sadness
about the absence will be its
everlastingness. The remore
which will then rend their hearts
will more than pay for whatever
illegal enjoyment they get out of
this world through wrongful acts
and conducts.

therein, in the way of premiums

As the Fair officials have ad-
vertised, the catalogue proves

carry on this work, can not be
listed with those who make the
caldwell Parish Fair one Of the
best parish fairs in the state.
There are to be several contests
such as a WheelbarroW for the
ugliest man, a diamond ring fol
the prettisest girl, also the big

Resolutions Of Respect.

The great and supreme ruler
of the universe has in his infinite
wisdom removed from US one of
our worthy and esteemed sover-
eigns, Charles E. Morris; and,
whereas, the long and intimate
relation held with him in the
faithful discharge of his duties
in this society makes it eminetly
BETTING that we record our ap-
probation of him; therefore re-
solve that the wisdom and ability
which he has exercised in the aid
of our organization by service,
contribution and counsel, will be
held to greatful remembrance.
That the student removal of
such a life from among our midst,
leaves a vacancy and a shadow
that will never be deeply realized
by all the members and friends
of this organization, and will
prove a serious loss to the COM
munity and the public.
That in deep sympathy with
the bereaved relatives of the de-
ceased, we express our sorrow,
but willing bow to the will of
Him who ''doeth all thing welI.'
That copy of these resolutions
be spread upon the records of
this organization, a copy printed
in the local paper and a copy for
warded to the beraved family.

Our Opinion.

Else where in this issue of the
Waterman you will read the
why's Clarks High School viii!
not have an exhibit at our parish
fair.
For the benefit of our readers
who may not understand the
why's" we will state that in our
opinion the three high schools
have an equal showing, as they
will not be able to display work
done this session. 1t is true that
Clarks High School has but re-
Gently been approved by the
State, however they did high
school work last session. 1t will
also be remembered that they
entered work last year and won
high honors, and in view of these
facts, we are unable to see why
they should not enter and make
the department more interesting

Better Roads,.

The property tax payers OF
wards |, 2, s & 9, are to be con,
graduated on carrying the good
roads election Tuesday. Caldwell
is now to be in the same class
with other pari9heS throughout
the state in the way OF good
roads, and the men who pay the
tax is the ones who will reap
the benefits therefrom.
The tax was voted down in
ward ten where it seems the
people are content with what
they have and donot care tohave
their property value increased.
The proposition in wards l, 2
and part of 8 was to issue bonds
to the extent of $45, 600 for the
building of a model gravel road
from Columbia to the Ouachita
parish line and there was only
one vote cast against the prop
osition. In wards 9 and 10 the
proposition was a tax to build
and maintain good roads through
the wards.

CIarks High School

We, the teachers of the Clarks
High School wish tc explain to
the public our reasons for not
entering the contest in school
exhibits at the Caldwell Parish
Fair, beginning Monday Oct. 10th
Having only recently received
q charter making this an ap>
proved high school, we are not
prepared to contest against the
other schools of the parish that
have enjoyed this privilege sew
eral years. =
Our home econemless dSbarrt-
ment is entirely new and ii is
impossible to give displays from
this branch Of work with. only
a months instructions.
We have not been able to give
any experimental work in. the
natural science as we have not
had the necessary apparatus and
material, and.we feel it an Unjust
ice to exhibit work that has not
actually been demonstrated and
proven in the laboratory. The
La. Central Lbr. Co., has under
construction a modern and up-to
date high school building which
will be equipped with laboratory
requirements and all equipment
necessary for successful work in
this department.
Owing to over crowded con-
ditions in the lower grades, we
have been disorganized to some
extent, two grades now conven-
ing IN q tent until the compile
ton Of the new building.
Under the existing circum.
stances We feel justified in not
entering the contest. However
we 90 promise to be a contestant
for highest honor at the next
years fair.

Copenhagen School.

Mr.. Oscar Rentz a prominent
contractor of Grayson has just
completed the new school hulld-
ing at Copenhagen, and in order
to interest the children in what
had been accomplished, he IN
vited them down to inspect the
building and to see if it was
built according to the plans. The
children were so we'll pleased
with their new school, that ele-
ven Of them wrote US a letter
each for publication. We are
sorry our space will not permit
US to publish all the letters and
we trust our little friends will
not feel that we have sighted
them.
Dear Editor:
Mr.. Oscar Rentz
invited the school down to take
q look at our new school house.
He let Us see the plans by. which
he built the house, there being
but a few changes made in the
plans, he built US a good looking
school house. The painter has
given US a good job of painting it
therefore we have one of the mic
est little school buildings in our
parish.
