Grant Parish Pioneer in Special Tax.
es for Good Roads and Public
Schools.

Mr.. NJ. V. Irrelevant, special New
Orleans correspondent, sends out the
following complimentary notice oil
Grant parish:
THE people of Grant, comparative.
ly small parish, can well afford to
smile over the bombastic claims that
are made by some of the folks in the
larger parishes about the taxes they
are voting for schools and good roads, -
said Editor H. G. Goodwin of the Col
fax Chronicle. Eight years ago,
ne continued, during Governor San
ders' term, Grant parish voted special
5-mill tax for five years for building
good roads, and within the last two
years all the wards of the parish have
voted either for bond issues or anoth, r
5-mil tax for FIVE years for the same
purpose.
''ln the matter of special taxes for
schools the parish is also well up with
the procession. Many of the school
districts have been voting special taxes
for fifteen or sixteen years. Some of
the districts are at this time paying Is
or 20 mills taxes for the benefit of
their schools.
ITO show the great interest our peo-
pie take in schools we call attention to
the fact that on Tuesday of this week
nine elections were held and every one
of them were carried by a good ma
jority. Dry Prong district in particu-
lar, distinguished itself. In that dis
trict the voters carried maintenance
tax of 10 mills for two years, and
bond issue for $4,000 to build and
equip a school,"
Bully for Grant parish! The people
of this State, especially those who are
good roads boosters, are entirely too
generous and only too glad to see the
fine work being DONE. to deny credit to
so splendid pioneer While Calcasieu
may be the banner good roads parish of
Louisiana, Grant is certainly entitled
to her own blue ribbon. Are there any
other claimants for honor? There can't
be too many.

Suspect Your Kidneys

Too Many Colfax People Neglect Early
Symptoms of Kidney Troubles.
If your back is lame-if you feel dull,
tired and all worn out.
If you have hard headaches, back
aches and dizzy spells,
If the kidney secretions are disorder
ed,
Suspect your kidneys and stake a
stitch in time"
Use Doan's Kidney Pills, the time
tried, home endorsed kidney remedy.
1t may save you from some serious
kidney trouble.
Make use of Mrs. Williams state
ment.
Mrs. w. L. Williams, Coifax, SAYS:
I'VE wouldn't be without Doan's Kid
ney Pills in the house. One of the
family suffered a great deal from a
bad back and was down in bed for sew
eral days. The patient had an attack
of malaria and after that the trouble
was worse. Nothing did any good un-
til Doan's Kidney Pills were procured
at the Dixie Pharmacy. The first box
gave relief and there hasn't been an
attack since. I"

Failure shouldn't be a brake.
Make of it a spur;
Mend your pace and keep awake
When it's stings occur.
Make of it a call to fight,
Not a cry to quit;
When your plans aren't going right
Rouse yourself a bit.
Failures not a stopping place,
It's a starting line,
Just the first lap of a race,
Do not pause to whine.
When its rowel scome to you,
Take them like a man;
They are urging you to do
Something that you can.
If by failure you are spurred,
You can win again;
Many a time this has occurred
To your fellow men.

When you're trouble-tossed,
It's when failure is a brake
That a fellows lost.

Transatlantic AnnIes-

William MINIS is of the opinion that
the fruit crop of this section should be
conserved. Fruit in this county does
not amount to much in a financial way
since few fruit growers make a spec
ialty of this business. therefore the
lower grades of fruit are permitted to
rot on the ground.
Mr.. MINIS believes there is, a great
possibility for a vinegar factory in
conjunction with an enterprise to uti-
lie the ~by-products of fruits for jam,
Jellles, vinegar, etc. He believes that
the fruit crop of this section could be
made a great money producer.
This question has been agitated at
various times in Western Carolina. one
of the greatest fruit sections in the
world, but nothing has developed to
convert the enormous crop into cash
except for the choicest of the fruits,
which find a ready market.-Sylvan
