located. Mr.. Culley has for some years

place in the house as assistant sales
manager. His friends will he glad to
learn that his ability and faithful SER
vice has been recognized and is ap-

der of success may be continuous un-
til he reach the top-most rung.
The above notice from the Fayette
Chronicle will be read with interest
by the many friends of Mr.. Galley in
this parish, where he once lived and
is well known and highly esteemed.

The following items are taken from
the Farm Demonstration Sheet issued
by the Louisiana State University:
Mr.. F. L. Guthrie, Notnac, Tensas
parish, produced an average of sixty
and one-half bushels of corn to the
the acre on eighty acres. The soil
was OF the buckshot variety and had
been in cultivation fifteen years. Cot
ton was the previous crop grown.
Land was broken in November and
December, and planted March Goth.
No fertilizer was used. Rows were
four feet in width, and the check sys-
tenn of planting was followed. Sentell
White Dent was the variety used.
Land was narrowed once, and run
over with cultivator four times and
with sweep once. All cultivation was
shallow, the last of which was given
on July Gath.
Mr.. Alex. Clark, Mound, Madison
parish, on forty acres of sandy loan
soil produced one and one- fifth bale
Of cotton per acre. Land had been in
cultivation for fifty years. Corn and
peas were the crops grown the pre-
vious year. The land was broken in
February and planted April 10. The
rows were five feet in width, with
twenty inches space in the drill. Va
riety: Simpkin's Improved. Fast and
shallow cultivation was practised.
Five CIVILIZATIONS were given, with the
Planet, Jr., and sweep. Last cultiva-
ton was made Aug. 16.

Ny Countryl May she always be right;
but right or wrong Ny Countryl"

The Fifth Louisiana Levee Board,
recently appointed, met at Tallulah on
Wednesday, and re-organized for the
ensuing four years, by the election of
Mr.. T. p. Kell, Of Madison parish, as
President, and the reelection of Maj.
o. w. Campbell Of Concordia as Secre-
tary. The present levee inspectors
for the four parishes were all reap
pointed. Mr.. Kell, the new President,
is an intelligent and successful planter
and business man and has had almost
unlimited experience in fighting high
waters, and we are sure will make
most worthy official. Maj. Campbell,
during the four years that he has oc'
cupied the Office of Secretary OF the
Levee Board, has proven himself
most efficient office man and has al
ways had his work done right up to
the minute. A more capable man for
the duties devolving upon this i'm
portant office could not be found and
his re- e-election without opposition is
worthy tribute to his efficiency.
The thanks'of the Board and OF the
people of the District are due the re-
firing President, Mr.. E. @. Rhodes,
for his faithful, energetic and efficient
services during his incumbency of
that Office.
Owing to the fact that Mr.. Kell lives
more conveniently to Tallulalh than
to vidalia, the Secretary's office will
be returned to the former place.

mother at the Continental Hotel yester-
day afternoon.
The Universal Film Company, pro-
Queer Of the picture, had arranged TO
have the mother and her actor-son
there, and had staged the meeting in
true film drama style. But the greet
ing that passed between the boy and
the broken hearted mother was far diff
ferent from the kind that the camera
man usually records
Mrs. Glass looked al the boy, taking
in every inch of his plump, well clothed
person, and then shook her head
You're a sweet little fellow and
envy your mother, but you are not my
