Auto Truck in River.


The Ford truck used by the Dom
aldsonville Ice Copany in making
deliveries of ice, took a plunge in
the Mississippi river last Saturday.
The machine was being backed on the
ferryboat Ruth, when the brakes re-
fused to work, and the car rolled IN,
to the boat, broke the outer guard
rail and fell into the river. The
driver saved himself by jumping on
the boat. The truck was pulled out
intact later in the day, but while
being hauled over the levee it rolled
down the embanksaent and struck a
telephone post and sustained con-
siderable damages. While the dam
ages are being repaired the truck Of

HOT A LOCAL AFFAIR.
South louisiana Fair a Permanent
Inl tuition and Well Located.

The Following very appropriate
referer ke to the South Louisiana
Fair, az peared in last Saturdays is
sue of the Assumption Pioneer:
''The fact that this fair is held an
nually at Donaldsonville seems to
have created the erroneous impress
sion in the minds of great many
people, that it is distinctively Dom
jacksonville affair. From the very
nature and magnitude of the enter
prise, requiring the expenditure of
quite large sum of money, it was
absolutely necessary that perman-
emit home should be selected for it,
as changing from place to place
would necessitate a fresh outlay with
each changing which would run the
cost up to prohibitive figures. Dom
jacksonville being ideally situated to
permit exhibitors from adjoining
parishes to participate with less IN n
convenience and expense than at
some other point, it became the
natural selection. But the idea be-
hind this enterprise is vastly bigger
than Donaldsonville, bigger than any
town or parish; as large, indeed, as
all south Louisiana. Through its
agency. the rest of the world is made
aware of not only the fertility of our
soil, but the versatility of our farm
ers, and the possibilities for diversi-
fication both as to the soil and farm
ers. And this is we'll. Our agricul-
tural resources constitute our real
strength in the money markets, and
there comes time occasionally when
we of south Louisiana are glad to
know that we are not considered
weak or . unreliable. To this end,
farmers should vie with each other
in theiraefforts to make this fair a
success is true exhibition OF our
resource and the public should by
their p& tronage show their apprecl-
alton it so that it may continue
in it's id work"
