AND
RAILROAD Of
FICIALS TALK
OF DEPOT

Vice President Farris and Mr..
Henley, OF the New Orleans Great
Northern Railroad, attended q meet
ing of the citizens OF Covington and
the Association of Commerce. Mon
day afternoon, to discuss the ques-
tion of a new depot. Mr.. B. M. Mil
Ter, attorney for the road, was pres
ent.
The meeting became little warm
at times, but the matter was gone
over in all the details, and whine the
company expressed itself ~ willing
to fix up the old depot and put IN
proper toilets, ETC., and perhaps move
the freight room to another position.
ii was stated positively that the
road could not build new depot.
Mr.. Farris was asked to at least
think the matter over and consider
whether it would not be possible 70
put the depot in another place, 81
there was not room for q depot At
the present site. 1t was suggested
that there was a piece OF land near
the Covington Grocery & Grain (the
Poiteyent tract) that would be bet
ter for a depot and would do away
with the dangerous switching OF
trains made necessary by the pres
ent situation.
Mr.. Farris did not give any en-
couragement to the proposition, but
stated that he would write in a few
days, after further investigation.
So the matter rests pretty much In
the same position as before the meet
ing, except that il the people are
! wiling to accept the present depot
with such alterations as the com
pany will make, the depot will be
Ipainted and fixed up and toilets pu1
In.
There is some talk Of taking the

OF AND
PREVENTIONOF
CHARBON IN
CATTLE
BY G. G. Lewis.

Since We have had an outbreak OF
charbon this ia and some 60 or IS
head of cattle died, think it wise to
have pub .isheed in The Farmer, at
this time, few pointers on the dis
ease.
People are interested more now
than they will be next spring because
we have just had some experience.
The following short treatise on
charbon was prepared by DR.. Flow
ers, Executive Officer of State Live
Stock Board. The main points IN
fighting and preventing the disease
are clearly brought out. The three
different types of charbon are clear
" explained and all should study
this part OF it in order to better be
able to detect the disease upon its
appearance in the herd. Many peo-
ple think charbon is quickly stamp
ed out, but as this treatise says, the
germ will live for years when once
the soil becomes infected and next
summer Is the time when the stock
will die If not properly vaccinated
with fresh vaccine. know OF sew

dragged away and the germs scat
tered along where the charbon car
cass had passed. / also know of one
case where the animal was not burn
ed in time and the buzzards had
plenty of time to scatter the disease
germ over the third ward, and
think this has been pretty well done.
It is for that reason that ! write
these few lines. I do not want to
see several hundred dollars worth O
stock die next summer before we
can get the vaccine and get around
with the vaccinating. In March OF
April, while there is plenty OF time
and vaccine can be had is the time
to get busy. The vaccine has plenty
time to take then before hot weather
sets in, and when the disease breaks
out in July you have well played the
game of Safety First" Read DR.

ED BY EXERCISES
School Furnishes Interesting
Program and Debate by
Literary Society.

A very worthy custom of the
Kings Daughters has been the pro-
vision made for the enjoyment of
Thanksgiving by those whose means
will not allow the expenditure neces-
sary for a Thanksgiving dinner.
Every year it has been the custom
to make up Thanksgiving baskets
and to distribute them among the
deserving needy, and it has always
been a task that has brought much
pleasure in the giving and much hap
ipiness into number of homes. This
year the undertaking has developed
into larger proportions than ever be-
fore, and the contributions of the
school children have swelled the con-
tents and number of packages into
proportions that made a very liberal
distribution possible.
The giving of these packages was
made part of the program of. the
Thanksgiving exercises of the Gov
ington High School. Wednesday
November 20, the auditorium of the
school was crowded to overfoWing by
pupils and parents and friends. The
Freshman -Sophmore Literary Socie-
ty carried out a program suggestive
of the season, and each grade put on
a number that was very much en-
joyed.
The debate: Resolved, that the
turkey and not the pumpkin pie is
the Thanksgiving dish,'' was ably
argued by Cathrine Morrison and
Stanley Bierhorst in the affirmative,
and Annie Riggs and Frank Artus in
the negative. The decision was Civ
en- to the affirmative.
After the program Prof. Park, in
q few we'll chosen words, called the
attention OF the audience to the
stage, where the large hampers and
boxes, filled to overflowing with gro
ceries, fruit and clothing, had been
placed by the different grades to be
distributed among our needy and sick
friends in CovingtOn and surround
ings.
Mr.. E. j. Domergue, of the Gov
ington Grocery & Grain Company
with his usual Hberality donated

DauEhters, and Mrs. II. T. q. weaver

received it and proceeded at once to
distribute. Seventeen large boxes
sevral baskets and large bags o1
fruit were sent out.
This work of love, which has been
q habit Of the school children for a
number of years, is a most commend.
able one, teaching them sympathy
and generosity and bringing them
closer to the life and needs Of less
fortunate humanity.
The Kings Daughters deeply ap
preciate this great help In thei1
work, and during this beautifu

With ideal weather conditions and
before a large and enthusiastic crowd
of spectators St. PauIs College again
showed their superiority by defeating
the visitors from Mississippi by a
tremend ously high score. The
worlds record of As points made by
one man in single game was lower
ed by Cassius Richard, who scored
so points. This was q distinctly out
standing feature of the game, made
by 8 touchdowns and II kicked
goals out Of a possible II. While
the record made by Richard will not
be allowed to stand as worlds rec
ord because of being made In q
minor college game, nevertheless 1t
will stand long time before It Is
beaten or even duplicated. 1t Is q
we'll known fact that each and every
team throughout the country has It's
hero or popular idol on the gridiron,
and to Eassius>R Richard rightfuHy be-
longs this title. Another striking
play during the game was the 6O-
yard run by Y. Fields, who In catch-
ing the ball from punt and not
hesitating or faltering withstood all
opposition until he was s~fe behind
the goal for a touchdown, this max
ing his second for the day.
Landry and Fruge did their goodly
share toward the high score by each
scoring three touchdowns, and u.
Richard scored one to his credit.
The team as q whole outplayed their
npponents and showed themselves to
be in fine fettle.
Owing to the late arrival Of the
visitors the game was not called un-
til $3.50 and darkness had set in be
fore the game was over, much to the
disappointment of the crowd.
The score was ia to 0.
Although the visitors were out
classed, special mention OF Brock,
Patterson and r. Lewman (playins
for Aysock) and Causey is deserved
Coach C. M. Adams was greatly dis
appointed over the showing made by
his boys.
This .was the sixth game Of the
season tor st. Paul's College. The
first resulted in q tie with the Baton
Rouge High. In the other five games
the opposing teams did not even
score. The result is that st. Paul'f
College claims the championship and
the Boys Hfghs-( New Or1eans1 also
claims It. AEdSfy has been issued
by st. Paul's to the Boys High, but
they refuse to play. Could these
two teams be brought together te
settle the supremacy it would be 9
decided drawing card. But untd'
then, the question is: Which OF tht
two teams Is the champion?
