The management of the st. Joseph
Electric Theatre has recently installed a
new l6-inch oscillating electric fan,
which, added to the three electric fans
now in use, will make that playhouse
delightfully."- comfortable. The great pic
ture, "The Battle Cry of Peace" will be
shown next Monday and Tuesday, both
evening and night, thus giving the public
four opportunities to see the greatest and
most spectacular scenes ever thrown on
the screen. The seating capacity of the
house scarcely exceeds 80, hence reserv-
alton should be secured by all who may
not be able to come early.

On last Monday morning, Marion L.
Swords, for sixteen years sheriff of st.
Landry parish, lost his life in the dis
charge Of his duty, being shot and in
stantly killed by desperate criminal
whom he attempted to arrest.
There was no more conspicuous
figure in Louisiana politics than Mr..
Marion Swords. Always a leader
among men he was for years one of
the leaders OF the Democracy of the
State. His counsel and advice were
always sought by the party, and all
who aspired to political honors in Lon
isiana souoht the support of this
stalwart old Democrat.
In the death of Marion L. Swords
the State has lost one of its best citi-
zens, the Parish of st. Laundry a lead
er hard, il not impossible, to replace,
and his family, kind, loving and in
dulgent father and husband, to all of
whom the Gazette and the people of
Tensas offer sincere sympathy.

The public should not forget the
great treat in store for next Monday
and Tuesday, when "The Battle Cry of
Peace" will be shown by the st.
Joseph Electric Theatre. This is one
of the most remarkable productions
that has ever been on the screen and
is companion piece to the celebrated
picture, "The Birth of a Nation" the
admission fee to the latter being fixed
at $500 throughout the entire country,
while admission to the "Battle Cry of
Peace" is just half that figure for
adults and 30 cents for children. The
expense incident to showing this
great spectacle is considerably over
one hundred dollars, hence the sup
port that the local picture show must
have to avoid loss. Four shows will
be given, viz: Monday evening and
night and Tuesday evening and night.

The Gazette is in receipt of a copy of
the 1916 edition of the Natchez Business
Directory and Buyers Guide, containing
IS pages besides cover pages, and which
IL replete with valuable information for
every one who may have business in
Natchez and also containing advertise
ments from practically all the leading
business houses OF that city. The work
was compiled by Mr.. F. f. Bowman, Jr..
a progressive young business man of Nat
chez and native of Tensas parish. and
is indeed most creditable product, and
one that reflects well on the business
ability, artistic taste and intellectual at
tainment of the author. Among the in
teresting items are "a Few Pointers of
Value to Farmers" by DIR. F.. II. Buie,
the veterinarian of Natchez. These
POINTERS contain prescriptions and
directions for treatment of various ills to
which live stock are susceptible and cam
not fail to interest any engaged i'm this
business or indeed any who may have a
few head OF live stock about their premises.
Altogether the Directory is very useful
and we sincerely hope will prove profitable
to the promoter.

, 10 ilte htl1hPrS OF lfle bOaru oil lOll-
missiOners of the Fifth LouiSians
Levee District.
Gentlemen:
On account OF the height of the river
and water standing in the pits, all work
out side the levees has been held up
during the spring and summer.
Good progress has been made on the
new loop at Fairview; this levee should
be completed in thirty days. The new
loop at Sycamore was not completed,
when the convict force had to he moved
to camp prepared for them at Claggett,
in order TO vacate the government quarter
boats, which were called for on the 10th
OF June. About three hundred men are
at work on Claggett and are making
good progress.
Work on the new loop at Limerick has
been considerably delayed by high water.
During the month of June, fair conditions
prevailed there and the levee is nearing
completion. On account of the DOGGY
nature of the soil below a shallow crust,
here it would have been extremely diff
cult to have built this levee from the pit
available under the conditions prevailing
with any other force than these machines.
The excavation of a broad deep muck
ditch beneath the levee will add material
ly to the safety of the new loop when
completed
BY request OF Major Caples, that our
Board connect the drainage around the
new loop at Limerick and restore the
wavewash on the government enlarge
ment at Hardtimes, after making the
survey for drainage and having difficulty
in finding contractor willing to under
take the cutting of this drainage canal
on account OF the boggy condition of the
soil, l succeeded in getting one of the
levee machines to make the excavation
at the cost of operating the machine
which will cost the District approximately
81 10000. | engaged contractor Mullen
to restore the wavewash at Hardtlmes.
Slight progress has been made on Cot
tonwood also the government work at
Wilson point and O'Possum point.
1t is agreed between the Government
and State Engineers that the new loop at
Atherton, be enlarged and made the
line at this point.
After discussing the method of doing
this work with Major Slattery and the
State Engineers, il was decided that the |
State and District would undertake to do !
this work, the State Board of Engineers |
$50, 600 90, and our District
the balance, the total cost approximately
800, 10000.
On account of the caving of the bank
1t the end of Bobbitt enlargement at
Deer Park, a new loop will have to be
within the year at the past
ate of caving, and as | can see no cause
or abatement, the river will reach the
evee by the first of March next.
Took the matter of canal from Bedford
o Diamond Island up with Major Caples.
lie said it was immaterial to him as to
low far this caual was extended I'D
tream, as this work was let with the I'M
ierstanding that material was to be OBJ
aimed from the river side Where new
anal is dug he recommend that the old
Itch be refilled, that no pit will remain
learer than 100 feet from the base of the
lew enlargement. There is no change in
he situation at Reid-Biggs since our last
Meeting.

suffered for years. The operation
was successful and the patient is now
very much better.
The Jail register this week shows
one prisoner under sentence, con-
victed Of grand larceny, some months
since, and but for whose presence the
Jail would have been empty several
times, one awaiting trial for minor Of

which includes James Johnston, ST.,
and Magruder Smith, ST., and Guy
Hunter of Waterproof, will give
hop at the Masonic Hall on neat
Tuesday night, following the pictures,
to which the public is invited" We
sincerely hope these LITTLE BOYS will
enjoy themselves HUGELY dancing
with the pretty rose-buds, but this is
foregonec onclusion. We hope our
friend Guy will also be along, be-
cause he is some chicken! How
ever, not of the spring but rather
the winter type.

to cover the loss.
The entertainment given By Mr..

lightful affair and was greatly enjoyed
by everyone present. Mr.. Jos. Curry,

from st. Joseph and vicinity.
The serious illness of Mr.. John D.
Lynch has been the cause of much
grief and anxiety among his friends
the past week. Mr.. Lynch was taken
down with swamp fever at his home
on the Tensas some days ago and his
condition was for several days regard
ed as practically hopeless. However,
thanks to his splendid constitution, the
crisis is believed to have been safely
passed and he is now much better
and his recovery is fondly hoped, and
which is indeed great relief to our
people, with whom John is deservedly
popular.

The Western Union Telegraph Co.,
New Orleans, July Is, 1915.
Railroad Commission of L.,
Baton Rouge, La.
GENTLEMEN:
In September, 1915, this Company
petitioned your Honorable Body per-
mission to discontinue the independ-
ent telegraph Office at st. Joseph,
Louisiana.
After hearing had in the premises,
our petition was denied, the order
stating in part:
"The investigation brought out the
fact that the railroad depot is practi-
cally a mile from the business SEQ
ton of st. Joseph and that the peo-
pie would rather have the office aban-
doned altogether than to have it
located so far away. The general
public is dependent entirely upon the
Western Union for service, and its To-
cation at so inconvenient a place as
the railroad depot would necessarily
work hardship. 1t may be that the
office is not paying one at this time,
but in the past this has not been the
case, and assurances have been given
relative TO certain contracts having
been executed which will make it
profitable as soon as nominal condi-
tons are restored. The Commission
feels that the Company owes certain
service to the public and cannot ac-
quiesce in any proposition which will
bring about so much inconvenience
and hardship"
From the attached memorandum of
revenue at st. Joseph it will be OBJ
served that the telegraph business has
shown tendency to decrease in
stead of increase and the office is be-
ng operated at q deficit, the revenue
not being nearly sufficient to pay st.
Joseph expense, to say nothing of the
orportionate share of operating, main
'enance expenses properly Charge
'ble to the st. Joseph operation.
We have had employed at st. Joseph
! Mr.. German Baker who has hand
ed the office in conjunction with his |
ocular business, an arrangement
which has minimized our loss of
operation.
Mr.. Baker has now resigned and
Independent operation cannot be
for less than 800 per
month. Accordingly it is requested
hat the matter be re-opened, recon-
idered and the original request be |
.ranted.
Yours very truly,

MORE ABOUT 4 DAI-
 KY FOR JUDSCNIA By a Little Effort Dairy can be Established at
 This Place.

Say, Mir. Farmer, did you knoW that about the best way to get a dairy for Judsonia is to go after u? We do not get very much il this world without putting forth some effort. Now we have had the ice broken, and the encour- agement is of the substantial sort but we cannot afford ts stop here. Come in and let's get things nov ing. Mr. LoWdermiik has propo- sitions from several cream sepa- rsstor people and you can get these propositions by calling on hl1n. They enable any man of reputable character to own a se9- arator now and pay for it cut of his sales of cream. Did you know that a dairy COW will give you more butter fat in a year than , steer will put On i'll weight? Tie steer will sell for about 6c pei poand in St. Louis, and he onl# sells once, while the dairy COW s butterfat sells for from 24c to 3 C per pound and she keeps putting 0 i tLis fat from year to year ana when she becomes too old to pro dace proitably she is thel Wor5a nearly as much as the steer fol beef. Dairy cattle have iacreas- ed in the past s years nearly two million head, while beef cattle have decreased pretty nearly as much. There's a reason.
 Let's get busy. Come in and talk and then do.

HENRY ENDORSED FOR SUPERINTENDENT
  J. Wood Henry Strongly En- dorsed by Three School Boards of County.

To the Voters of White County: When l entered the race for County Superintendent of Schools 1t was not my purpose to cause hard political struggle among the school forces of the county. It was not my purpose to work up or stir up school board against school board or school district g. gajnst school district; for believe actual merit and ability should seJ5ie the contest, and not soft pron3is ses that would be imprac- tical to execute and a mass of WranGles and tangIes to bind the eyes of the voters from seeing the real facts and principles at issue.
 But since my opponent has pro duced an endorsement from his school board 1 think it only prn- .deat that We look a little farther into the facts. Why did he not go to, or write to 5he chool 10 rds or connittees where we ota have taught and are also knoWr, and ask them to make an honest conscientious statement, based on the information they have from the work each of us has ac- tualIy done in their schools? Why docs he not have them come cut and compare the work of the two men? 1 an ready for the curtain to be drawn aside and let the people look in.
 Tie following endorsements are made by men who are familiar With tfe facts as they have been delivered by each of US:
 Kensett, Ark, Feb. 26, 1916 To Whom It May Concern:
 We, the undersigned, members of the school board of DistrictNo. oJ, in White county, do certify that we nave previously engaged in our school both of the present candidates for County Supe i : tendent Of Schools. Judging from the work of each, we heartily en- dorse Prof. J. Wood Henry for the next Superintendent f Schools of White County. We think he is the man qualified for the place.
