AN IMPORTANT SERVICE
Both Employer and Job-Hunter
Benefited

This Office was favored by cell from
MIR. E. L. Andrews, District Organizer,
U. S. Employment Service, Depart
ment of Labor. and Mr.. George Eraz-
wick, of the same branch of the depart
ment.
The object Of the call was to acquaint
us with the purposes and policies of the
U. S. Employment Service, and Of the
many advantages and benefits that the
people can derive from cooperating
with this service.
The Employment Service stood the
acid test Of the war and served lis Lur-
pose so well that the Department Of
Labor has determined to continue it as
a permanent institution
The service stands for job for the
man, and man for the job. Its serv-
ices are absolutely free, and it is insti-
tuted for the benefit of all, high orfow,
employer and employee.
One OF the many advantages is tn
fact that it is no longer necessary for
man in search of work to leave bis
home and go out merely or heaysay
seeking employment, often speElilg
his last dollar in the search, which fre-
quently proves fruitless. By applica-
ton to the Employment Service he may
remain at home and be informed of
work open FOR him, together with all
of the details which are essential, such
as wages, hours of employment, board
ing Or housing conditions-in fact, all
the information necessary for him to
make an i3telligent choice, and ali at
no cost TO him.. This same considera-
ton apples to the employer. How
much would be if the employers
could be spared the expense and disap-
pointment of conducting advertising
campaigns in sections whtre labor is not
available.
All of these things and many, many
more can be obtained from this service
simply by a hearty cooperation with it.
Mr.. Andrews will hold meeting here
at the Court House, on Friday, the 18th,
at p. m, for the purpose of acquaint-
ing the people with the avantages and
opportunities offered, and it is urged
that the public attend in order to
lend the proper support and co-opera-
ton to this great movement.

BRITAIN DAY
And NatchitOcheS' Community
Celebration

A great many voices proclaimed the
joy of triumphant hearts on Sunday
afternoon, when, for the first time in
the history of our historic old city, a
representative gathering assembled un-
der the oaks for meeting of that kind,
and patriotism ran high. From the
gallery OF the Live Oak Hotel, that
was gaily decorated in honor Of the &C.
casion. Mr.. u P. Breazeale, represent
ing the Mayor, called the meeting to
order, and in his usual eloquent style
told the purpose of the celebrations
paying tribute to Great Britain and our
country, and in few appropriate words
introduced each speaker.
After all joined in singing "Amer-
ica," Mr.. ]. D. Rusca, representing
the Catholic; Rev. Dana Terry, the
Baptist DR.. z. T. Gallon, Episcopal,
and Rev G. G. Golston, colored citizens,
gave splendid talks, all different view
points of the occasion, which were
heartily enjoyed and applauded.
The Star Spangled Fanner and La
Marsellaise were sung with spirit, and
as whole there was only one thing to
mar what otherwise would have been
a perfect day ideal weather, large
and appreciative crowd, splendid repre-
sentive speakers and good singing,
the failure of the three representatives
of other denominations, who had agreed
to take part in the program. to appear
or to send a reason for not doing so,
tho the hour of starting was delayed
quite bit while awaiting their coming

4 Disastrous Fire

A most disastrous fire occurred Fri
day afternoon about 4 O'Clock that Ut
terly destroyed the comfortable here
and all its valuable contents of Mrs.
Antoinette prudhomme of Washington
street
The oil stove in the bath room eVi-
IDENTIFY exploded and caused the mis-
chief. ard tho Miss EuIalie PrUdhomsNa
and aunt. Mrs. Victoria Prudhomn'e.
were both at home, the fire was under
such Roadway when they discovered il
and gave the alarm. that it was impos-
sibla 10 save either the house, or prac-
tically anything but some three or four
pieces OF light furniture, though as
sistance was promptly rendered.
For awhile it was feared that the
Pressburg. Walmsley and POLICEMAN
homes would burn too, but the heroic
efforts Of our amateur fire fighters
saved them. Mrs. Prudhomme was the
pcssessor Of q great deal of handsome
and valuable old furniture, heirlooms
of all kinds, beautiful old silver, jew
elry, bric-a-brac, books, linens, needle
work, etc, and though insured for pos
sibly their intrinsic value, they can
never be replaced, as they have come
down thru many generations and their
association and worth were great. Mrs.
Prudhcmr1e was in New Orleans in at
Tendance upon her daughter, who has
been seriously i'll, and her many friends
cordole with her and family in their
serious misfortune.
