OYSTER ToNGERs READY.
To Start Gathering Bivalves at
Break Of Dawn Tomorrow.

Oyster tongers and runboat owners
and masters are busy in every harbor
down river making ready to start gath
ering oysters at the break of dawn to-
morrow, September Is. Those who
know and who have visited the natural
rocks in the vicinity of Colonial Beach
and further down the river state that
every indication points to a good oyster
season. The natural beds are well
filled with marketable oysters. and 1t
looks az if good oysters will be on the
market from the start.
Eo see that the tongers do not start
work ahead of time. the Virginia oys
ter police boat Phillips was yesterday
cruising in the vicinity of Nomini creek
and Colonial Beach, and other Virginia
and Maryland boats also were vigilant
1t is said to be the intention of the
Maryland and Virginia oyster conserva-
ton authorities to see that the laws
regarding the taking of oysters. and
also as to the size of the oysters taken
are carried out to the letter to prevent
the depletion of beds that each year
are giving better yields.

Such Is Life

In every burg there is guy
who fills himself with gin or rye,
who makes cold bottles die the
death, who seldom draws a sober
breath. Sometimes he practices
the law, or, as surgeon, yields
the saw, or, as Ye Editor, he
may produce hot piffle every day.
But twill be said by many gents,
Though he looks now like 20
cents, he has a Daniel Webster
head, and if he wouldn't paint
things red. there are no heights
he couldn't reach, for intellect
he is a peach. He would astonish
all the land, if his expensive thirst
were canned Such legends al
ways hang around the chronic
soak, where'er he's found. Once
In while the sot reforms, and
with soft drinks his stomach
warns, and people say, Just
watch him rise, and write his
name across the skies!' Alas.
the prodigy falls down, and fails
to harvest high renown. He
spends the balance of his DAYS
diseoursing Of his former ways,
and telling how by strength OF
will he broke loose from the old
ginmill, until the people, sad and
sore, denounce him as the cham
peen bore.

Road Bonds Sold at Premium.

Sealed bids for the purchase of a
series Of per cent bonds of the First
Road District of Ascension parish,
amounting to $14,500, were opened
at noon Tuesday by a committee of
the police jury, acting as the govern
ing authority of the road district.
The Whitney Central Bank of New
Orleans submitted an offer to buy the
apnds for s14,527 and accrued in
sterest, and this being the best pro-
posal received, it was accepted and
Secretary c. C. Weber of the police
jury was directed to take the neces-
sary steps to complete the transac-
ton. The bonds are dated Oct. 1,
1915, and run through period of
eighteen years. They mature serially
beginning July /, 1917, interest be-
ing payable semi-annually on the first
day of January and July of each year,
from date of issue The. funds real
lied from the sale of the bonds will
be utilized in extending the gravel
road on the river below Donaldson
vile from its present terminus in A
Bend to the st. James line, distance
of approximately five miles, and in
repairing and maintaining the gravel
roads already constructed in the first
district. Work will be started as
soon as the necessary details can be
completed.

Lemann Store improvements

The Chief has inadvertently fail
ed to make mention of the extensive
Improvements recently made in and to
the Lemann store building. The out
side of the structure has been given a
new coat of white paint, and the name
of the Lemann firm inscribed in large
black lettering on the rear wall Of the
Railroad avenue elevation. The in
terror Of the grocery department has
been completely rearranged and mod
ernized, clearing the floor space to an
extent that permits Of a more at
tractive display of the fine line of
goods carried, and increased eff
cheney in the service of customers.
From front to rear, top to bottom,
and side to side, the Lenann store is
now one of the best equipped and
most up-to-date country mercantile
establishments that can be found any
where, and is an institution of which
it's owners and the community may
we'll be proud.

New Road District Projected.

A movement is on foot to organize
uBm, road distriak> in the fifth, seventh
DgBaFds of the parish, tor
the purpose of constructing a gravel
road to extend from Burnside, on the
river, through Gonzales to the Cal
base road, and thence in straight
line over the latter highway to con,
meet with the gravel road OF Road
District No. 2 at Bonicard's store IN
the eighth ward, between Prairlevllle
and Dutchtown. This road would
considerably shorten the distance
from Donaldsonville to Baton Rouge,
would bring the interior sections OF
the fifth, seventh and eighth wards
into closer relationship with the par
ish seat and other portions of the par
ish, and, in conjunction with the other
hard-surfaced highways already con-
structed or in contemplation, would
give Ascension a network of lmprov-
ed roads exceeded by few parishes IN
the state. The petition for the crea-
ton of the new district, to be known
as Road District No. S, will be pre-
sented to the police jury at it's next
meeting.

THE THIRD DISTRICT MIX-UP.

There is very peculiar political
situation in the third Louisiana dis
trict. where Wade O. Martin of St.
Martin is the Democratic candidate
for congressman, and Whit. +. Martiti
of Lafourche is the Progressive nonl-
nee for reelection.
Prompted largely, no doubt, by the
action of John NJ. Parker, Progressive
nominee for vice president, in taking
the stump to advocate the reelection
Of President Wilson, the Republicans
of the third district brought out Il. j.
Rodrigue of Assumption as a con-
gressional entry against the two Mar
TINS. II being apparent thaG every
vote polled for Rodrigue would be a
vote taken away from the Progressive
candidate, thus decreasing the latter>s
chance for success, the Progress1ves
called their district committee to-
gether at Morgan City last Saturday,
and that body unanimously lndorsed
the candidacy Of Charles E. Hughes
for president.
One good turn deserves another,
so it was meet and proper that the
national Republican executive com
mittee should pull Republican Ro-
lrigue out of Progressive Martins
wav, which the committee promptly
tried to do. Unfortunately, however,
the effort comes too late to prevent
the name of the Republican from be-
ing printed on the official ballot, the
zeal time-limit within which candi-
date can be withdrawn having expired.
# the third district Progressives
md Republicans now wish to vote Tor
Hughes for president and WHIT. Mar
tin for congressman, as their party
organizations have virtually pledged
them to do, they will have to avoid
stamping the Progressive moose ana
Republican elephant on the ballot
and instead stamp the names OF each
of the ten presidential electors on the
Republican ticket and the name
of the candidate for congress on the
Progressive ticket. If the Republican
| emblem and the name of the Pro-
yressive congressman be, both stamp,
ed, the ballot will be invalidated and
not counted, hence the third district
| voters who don't wish to mark the
Democratic rooster will have to ex-
| ercise no little care to keep from
| spelling their ballots and thus losing
| their votes.
