ANONYMOUS COMMUNICATIONS

Always and anon some one has a
very valuable piece Of news which
they want to appear in the columns
of the Journal which is all right and
proper-but they will forget to sign
their name to the communication, 50
that we may be protected in case Of
accident. The latest one advises that
a certain man has been granted a d.
vor,c from a certain lady at a re-
cent session of the Judicial District
Court held in the new court house at
Jennings, La. The communication
names the lawyer who secured the
Judgment, also the sum which said
lawyer received for his services
which by the way was a very reason
able price. The article also names
the witnesses in the case, too, but
just because the author forgot to sign
his name we cannot publish it. Re-
member, when you send cOmmuni-
cation TO the Journal for publication,
sign your name. The signature is not
for publication, but for our informa-
zion and protection.

Father J. P. Ferret, rector of the
Welsh Catholic church, when a large
attendance, especially of the older
residents of this section gathered to
pay their last sat tribute 10 a loved
and respected kin and neighbor, The
