Numerous Offers for Shamrock Places
Rumors persisted throughout the
week that the Evan Hall plantation
and factory and the Belle Alliance
plantation and factory Of the Sham
rock Land and Planting Co., (the
Hibernia Bank, had been sold. In
curry of Vice President Hecht of that
bank elected the information that
most of the reported negotiating had
been one-sided and that it was rather
a case of many buyers than any
anxiety at all on the part of the
present owners to sell the places.
The Wilberts, of Plaquemine, were
said to be most prominent amongst
the many who are daily endeavoring
to purchase the plantations, which are
two of the finest in the state. Up to

"REDEMpTIoN" COMING TO GEM
Life Story of Evelyn Nesbit lha~
Subject of Notable Film.

Local patrons of the silent drama
will be interested in the announce
ment by Manager Won Lotten OF the
Gem Theatre that he has booked "Re-
demption" for exhibition next Satur-
day and Sunday, Feb. % and "a. Inc
picture is based on the life story OF
EVELYN Nesbit Thaw, and she and her
Young son, Russell Thaw, play the
leading roles. "Redemption" is &C
claimed an intensely interesting him
which would have been huge success
even without the advantage OF the
immense publicity attached to the
name of its star.
The production is based on life 1t
self-a life which has drained the
cups of happiness and of sorroW-in
q background of glittering wealth, In
the glare of incandescents and in the
somber attics or hall rooms OF mis-
fortune. ;, The game of burning the
candle at both ends is revealed IN ITS
Grim realities. Only those with hearts
courageous may dare hope for re-
demption. Evelyn Nesbit not only
hoped, but the presence OF her little
son and thoughts of his future spurred
her to supreme effort. And how she
energies from the atmosphere OF the
past and makes for herself and little
Russell Thaw name and fame OF
which each may be proud is told in
her picture. Without attempting a
preachment, there is moral lesson
fearlessly drawn in Redemption
But it's greatest asset is said to be the
exceptional production given the story
and the naturalness with which each
of it's characters is portrayed.
For this notable offering the prices
of admission will be 10 and 20 cents.
Performances will begin at 2 o'clock
each day. On Sunday the fifth INSTALL
ment of the war pictures will be

A Popular Railroad Official Resigns.
Neal IA. Leach of New Orleans, one
of the best known and most popular
railroad officials in Louisiana, recent
ly resigned the position of general
traffic manager of the Texas & Pacific
railway to become vice president of
the j. H. W. Steele Company, Inc,
foreign freight and forwarding
agents with Offices in dozen cities
Of the United States. The receivers
of the Texas & Pacific, j. L. Lancaster
and Pearl Wight, gave expression to
the general sentiment in railroad cir
cles when they issued the following
announcements:
The receivers Of the Texas e. Pa
cific railway regret very much the re-
tirement of N. M. Leach from the POI
sition Of general traffic manager. As
head Of the traffic department since
1911 he has built up an excellent
traffic organization, and the large in
creases In the company's earnings are.
to great extent attributed to his
wonderful ability. His retirement
from railway service is a distinct loss
to the public as well as the railways.
The best wishes of the officers and
employees of the Texas & Pacific go
with him and his business ability as
sures success in his new field of en-
deavor."'

A Card Of Thanks.

Donaldsonville, La, Feb. Is, 1918.
Editor Chief:
Permit me through the medium OF
your valued columns to express my
qualification at the strong and UNI
eauivocal position taken by Mr..
Reuss and Mr.. Lemann on the ques-
ton of increasing teachers salaries
and the closely related subject >of in
creased taxation.
1t is true that the position taken by
these gentlemen is only in line with
their previous records; but neverthe-
less, this public expression of their
views will carry great weight, and
merits the appreciative thanks not
only Of those most directly concerned
the school teachers-but of every
intelligent and patriotic citizen of the
parish. My only regret is that more
such men have not taken advantage
of the opportunity given by this dis
cussion to express themselves IN like
manner. Very respectfully,
