es full as could be, while the same
amount vas sent from the Normal
The mayors Office was made head
quarters for the bundles, and His
Honor and members of his staff
gave the ladies very valuable assis
lance, but special mention must be
made of the services of Master B..
Williams, son of Mr.. and Mrs. j.
Williams of Coffax, who was indie
fatigable in his efforts to be of use
to the ladies and but for this little
gentleman's aid itwould have been
difficult indeed for them to have
accomplished the heavy task before
them, as expeditiously as they did.

COLORED SOLDIERS

Asburv NJ. E. Church (colored)
was the scene of ostimpressiye
ceremony, Saturday evening when
reception was given in honor. of
the seventy colored soldiers who
left that night for Camp Pike.
Eyergreens. vines and roses were
used most effectively to decorate
the pretty ediface which was filled
to its fullest standing as we'll as

being crowded. DR. 7. Taylor pre-
sided as chairman and after a by

dresses were made by Senator
Cunningham, Representative Breaz
eale, Atty. st. Anne Prudhomme
and Mrs G. L. Breazeale, Rever-
ends q. Collision, 6. Mitchell and

features of the program was the
singing of the Battle Hymn Of the
Republic led by Rev. Collision
who interpreted and applied most
wonderfully the different lines of
the great song while his applica-
ton. of our national anthem to the
occasion was most telling.
A solemn benedIction brought

THE COMMUNITY
COUNCIL MEETING.

One of the biggest and most en-
thusiastic meetings of any kind
that has ever assembled at the
| Court House, took place Monday in
response to the call from the Coun-
ell of Defense for the purpose of
extension of the parish organiza-
ton by the creation of community
councils.
| People came from every section
of the parish; making the best re-
preventative showing in that respect
since the war began, and all were
keen, eager and willing to be up
and doing.
President Watson called the meet
| ing to order and after a short but
iust-to-the-point talk, turned the
chair over to Sec'y Hudson, who
also made short talk as did Messrs
Phanor Breazeale, Carver, ABBOTT,
Ellis, Judge Cunningham and Dis
trict Attorney Stephens.
Fifty three chairmen were app0in
ted, some of whom have effected
their organizations, while the rest
expect to do so BY the end of the
week, when each community will
be able to devise and carry out
strenuous war policy based on To-
cal needs, bearing its full share Of
the burden and observe the princi-
pie that in democracy local emer
gencies can best be met by local
action.

CLAY rs LOUISIANA'S 4.
UNTITLED RESOURCE

louisiana has an abundance OF
clay that is suitable for use as
building material. The increasing
cost of lumber must soon bring
other building materials into more
general use and Louisiana is for
tunate in having large quantities
of clay that are adapted to making
brick and other structural mater
ials, Clays suitable for the manu-
facture Of common building brick
can be found in the vicinity of
nearly all the towns and cities in
the state and terra Gotta for fire.
prooting can be made from the
clays of Baton Rouge and Slidell
which are near the city of New
Orleans, where 6reproof material
should find a Already market. Some
of the clays, notably those at Sill
dali and Winfield. burn buff in
stead of red and therefore furnish
a pleasing product of ornamental
work. Doubtless similar clays
could be obtained at other locali-
ties. The clays at many places in
Louisiana can be used for making
paving brick and draintile, and
some of the clays of the state are
suitable for making sewer pipe.
A drief description of the clays
of Louisiana is given in Bulletin

SAFEST SECURITY IN
THE WORLD.

The credit of the United States
was so unquestionable that in 1900
two years after the Spanish war,
Q per cent bonds were offered at
par and oversubscribed. This is
a financial performance no other
nation has ever equalled.
Back of the $500, 100000 900 of
this nations resources stands the
rugged honesty of America. War
sayings and thrift stamps are the
safest security in the world.
The United States has never de-
faulted on any of its bonds. Not
one of its bondholders has ever
lost cent of principal or interest
except those who have voluntarily
taken losses by selling their bonds
in a period of temporary price de-
preston. One hundred cents On
the dollar, principal and interest
has the United States always paid.

In the death of Ella Smith on
March 25th. there passed away one
of the few remaining faithful old
time colored servants who can hard
ly be replaced.
ELLA Gabe'' as she was best
known, belonged to the family of
the late Major R B Hollingsworth
and up to the time they left here
served them faithfully, and at the
time she was taken ill. was in the
employ of Mrs Potts, the Majors
daughter.
Ella was faithful and devoted to
her people by whom she will be
sadly missed. She left two sons and
two daughters besides other
relatives, and many friends who
followed her to her last resting
place.

The beautiful thought embod-
led on the cover page of the
Youths Companion finds echo in
the hearts of all. From a land
physically remote, but ever spirit
uallY near, has come an omen.
Jerusalem the holy city in
which grew up the belief in a
kingdom of God has passed again
into the keeping of those to whom
that kingdom means justice and
mercy and truth,
Let the victory be our Easter
token that those qualities shall be
no more overcome.
