JACKSONCO. SCHOOL
ADDS To FACILITIES

In order to meet the ever increas-
ing demand on the Jackson county
high school to accommodate new pu-
pills the trustees Of this sub-district
are having the building enlarged. A
contract was awarded to Contractor
Wagner for the erection of a two
story wing at the northeast corner
Of the present building. The annex
is to contain four rooms 22x24 feet
inside dimensions, two upstairs and
two on the first floor. In order to
erect this addition, which is estimat-
ed will cost between 5000 and 81
600, the school board appropriated
$1,000 to aid the patrons residing
within the sub-district boundaries.
When completed there will be suf-
ficient rooms for eleven teachers,
each room having a desk capacity to
seat forty pupils, and it is the inten-
ton of the board to have this the
maximum number in any one room
as this will enable them to comfort
ably care for 440 children. The en-
tire quota Of teachers will be employ
ed in this building and, we unecr-
stand, the west end school will be
abolished
This school is open to pupils from
every section of the county and it is
the desire of school officials, teachers
and others interested to keep apace
with the times and maintain a seat of
learning here that VIII compare fav-
orably with any high school in the
state. In order to do this, however,
the hearty cooperation of all patrons
and pupils will be necessary.-Mar-
ianna Times-Courier.

MONEY IN FINE
STOCK IN FLORIDA

Out Of 5000 head $50 large beef
steers were picked out and sold re-
Gently at st. Cloud, and these beeves
averaged over 600 pounds apiece.
This, probably, is as good as could
be expected where little or no atten-
ton Is paid the breeding, feeding or
care Of stock, where the ticks are al
lowed e - tA5 vitality and retard
fhe growth from the day the animal
Is born until it is put upon the mar
ket. In the real cattle producing
sections, where the tick has been
eliminated, and that second worst
enemy Of the cattle industry, the
scrub bull, has likewise been elimi-
mated, six hundred pound beef
steer is an unknown quantity. Twelve,
fourteen and sixteen hundred pound
beeves are the rule there 1t costs less
per pound to produce a twelve hun
dred pound steer than it does. sly
hundred pound one, and he brings
more pound for pound than does the
light weigh animal.
There is no reason why Florida
should not produce as fine stock Is
any country in the world, and at as
Lille cost. All it will take to no il
ito eradicate the ticks, supply full
blood males, and provide proper feed
and shelter for them during the short
winter 22aen foraging is poor. Let us
g9g this, and we viii hear less of the

GADSDENFOREMOST
IN STOCK RAISING

Gadsden county presents a splen-
did field for stock raising; it COM
plying with the regulations as to dip
ping cattle may be shipped out free
ly.
Vastly more cattle are raised on
FARMS than on ranges. Gadsden
county has some outside range, but it
should not be considered by the man
who wants to raise good cattle for
profit. The men already here are US
ing all the outside range.
TIE begin with, in looking over the
cattle prospects, the mildness of the
climate obviates the necessity of shell
ter, and the stoclunan well knows
that in time of intense, or even mod
crate cold, cattle do not take on flesh,
what they eat is needed to supply
food for their bodies, warmth. such
. as they have in northwest Texas and
he Indian Territory. Here the wealth
is never cold enough to have any
effect upon them, so that the climate
effects a saving on buildings, in the
first instance, and a saving of food
in the next, and the cattle come
through the winter in good. condi-
ton.
The man of the southwest knows
of the Bermuda grass. It grows well
and strongly here, and supplies pas
ture for all the twelve months in the
year.
For winter, corn, il connection with
velvet beans and peanuts, produces as
much feed per acre as the rich lands
of the other states produce when
cultivated to corn, and there is no
expense for cribs, feeding pens and
corn gathering and corn cutting.
It Is a fact that nowhere else can
cattle be raised with as little ex-
pense as right here, and it is a fact
that the markets are as close as they
are 20 The average farmer in other
states.
In connection with tNA general
stock farm, poultry may well be
raised; there is money in eggs and
chickens, and they pick up their food
from the waste of the farm, so that
what money they bring is clearly pro-
fit.

Lent was more strictly observed
this wear in Natchitoches' social
circles than has been the case dur.
ing many a p~enitential season.
But now that it is over not only
the Clubs have began their regular
meetings, but a number OF extra
parties are being planned to
quickly succeed each other to the
delight of all.
For the first time within the
ken of many did Easter dawn
warm enough for the specially
prepared Easter clothes to be worn
without the shivery feeling that
summer gowns and suits worn on
a cold raw day usually cause. The
great post-lenten festival was a
warm, typical summer day, until
Just before shutdown, when clouds
began to gather and by seven
O'Clock a genuine tightening and
thunder storm almost rent the
heavens asunder and the heavy
rain continued until shortly before
day on Monday, and remained
cool and clear until Wednesday
when a cold rain again fell.
Master Richard DeVargas cele-
brated the eighth anniversary of
his birth on Easter Sunday by en-
tertaining fifty of his little friends
with an egg hunt for which the
pretty grounds at his parents
home in East Natchitoches were
particularly we'll adapted. The
dozens of gaily colored eggs
snugIy hidden amid the flowers
and SHRUBS were not easily Tound,

the bluffs became covered with grass,

became the grazing ground of great
herds of cattle. The grass on the
hills Is more nutritious than that in
the valleys, so the hills were grazed
closely. Then in dry season the
grass was killed, the tramping or
