A Carnival Organization.

That the Mardi Gras celebration
in Natchitoches was a success that
surpassed the expectations of the
promoters and surprised every
body else who never imagined that
it was to be such a pageant, sug-
gests the idea that a Carnival
League or Club could be organized
on thoroughly practical basis,
that would be OF inestimable value
to this community.
Such an organization could help
wonderfully in developing the
business and commercial resources
of cur city and be of as much
value to the whole surrounding
country.
1t is time that our citizens were
waking up to the necessity of such
an organization, as many good
things have been lost to US and
are constantly passing US by for
the lack of organization.
Concerted effort however is ne
cessary, as more can be accom-
plished thru concerted effort in
civic and commercial activities,
than thru all other factors COM
bined.
We must get to work righ
away; it will take time to plan an
develop and improve upon the
original plans if we want to ac-
complish any thing and as the idea
seems to appeal to those of ouI
business people to whom the editor
suggested it, she offers the columns
of this paper for free discussion
hoping that the suggestion will
in the very near future
into Carnival Organization.

Not: only his personal friends
who are legion, but the people of
Natchitoches as whole are de-
lighted and are to be congratu-
lated that Mr.. Walter Aymond
has decided to continue here as
Supt. of Water and Lights.
Some of the most tempting and
persistent offers have recently
been made this skilled young cleo
trician that took much will power
to be able to resist, but without
stopping to weigh the financial
advantages to himself, he refused
to consider the offers that have
literally poured in, one in parti-
cular from another State increas-
ing the price in each letter and
telegram, until it practically dou-
bIed the original offer.
Not only has Mr.. Aymond given
Natchitoches as good if. not the
best lights and service in the
State, but he has made a great
success of the financial end of
the plant which is first-class in
every respect, self sustaining and
this with his affable, courteous
manners and wholesome good ma
ture, make him a prime faYorlte
that Natchitoches cannot afford to
lose.

Catarah Deafness Cannot Be Cured

There is only one way to cnre catarrhal

an infiamed condition Of the mucous

this tube is inflamed you have rum

when it il entirely closed. Deafness is
the result. Unless the Inflammation
eau be reduced aud this tube Restored to
its normal condition. hearing will be
destroyed. Many CASES of dra!ness are
caused by catarrh. which is all infiamed

DO NOT BREED THE sow TOO
XOlINE

VOONI.
The usefulness of the sow is often
impaired by too early breeding. One
would never expect a sow to be fully
matured before breeding, but it is rea-
sonable to expect that she will pro-
luce larger and stronger litters, and
support them better, II she has been
allowed a good growth before being
bred. A SOW should never be expect
ed to farrow before she is a year
old. II is better not to breed her un-
der twelve months Of age unless she
is unusually well developed. Allow
her to develop frst, and the vitality
OF her pigs and the increased number
that she will raise will more than
make up for the litter she did not
produce before she was year old.

SOUTHERN RAILWAY
DOUBLE TRACKS LINE
o5 Per Cent of Roadway To At
lanta Improved.

The Southern Railway Company has
completed over IS per cent Of the double
track between washington and Atlanta,
including the construction OF a con-
crete double-track viaduct across the
Dan river at Danville, Va. The bridge
and other improvements made In the
vicinity Of Danville has called for an
expenditure of approximately 81, TOO, 900.
Ono Of the most difficult of the en-
cheering feats accomplished in connec-
ton with the Danville improvements
was the successful moving Of the rail-
way station a distance OF fifty feet
across a street without razing the
structure. The building is Of brick and
weighs 100 tons.
When completed the double-track road
win extend over a distance of $40 miles
through the Piedmont section Of the
South. Much Of the work has been Diff
ficult and expensive because the build
ing OF the roadway has been along the
foothills OF the Blue Ridge and Alle-
cheney mountains, necessitating the re-
duction Of grades and the cutting out
OF curves.
