in real estate transactions
there has been several changes OF
property again this week. The
large brick structure Of Mr.. Chas.
Goueuenheim occupied at present
nv the Dauterive Furniture Co.
store was taken over by Mr.. Julius
Scharff. It is Mr.. Scharff's inten-
ton to occupy it as a place for his
clothing store during the later
months of the year. The lovely
property of the late Mr.. Felix Pa
tout on East Main Street has been
purchased by Hon. Edwin Brous-
sard who will soon remove therein
with his family. The vacant
property nearly opposite was
bought this week by DR.. Geo. J.
Sabatier through the Murray
Fisher real estate agency. We
understand the new owner IS con-
templating erection of a nice home
at some near future time. There
were also several real estate trans
actions recorded in the Clerks Of
fee consisting Of farm property.
The prospects are now bright for
several new homes being coll
structed during the present year
and Judging from the inquiries for
real estate property values will
soon advance.

WILL SERVE MANKIND.
Los Angeles, Cal.

1112 Elder Ave. Jan. 10, 10.
Editor Enterprise The Public of
issue January the 18th says John
Haynes Holmes, pastor of the New
York Church of the Messiah. has
announced that he will leave the
Unitarian denomination, in order
to enter into that larger fellow
ship where he will be cat one
with all men everywhere, at home
with the family Of mankind. "
This is additional evidence Of the
growth of the new spirit that is
looking to service of man as the
highest expression of mans de-
sire to serve his Maker. DR..
Holmes who has just declined a
call to Lincoln Center, Chicago
the social center established I'M
der the direction Of Jenkin Lloyd
Jones-purroses to marshall his
church following in similar
service in New York. DIR. Holmes.
like Mr.. Jones, could not rest sat
isfed under creed even so broad
as to save all men in the here
after; he must enlist in cause
that will serve mankind here and
now. 1t is suggestive of the story
going the rounds that the Y. NJ.
G.. A. war service ran short OF
Christians, and was obliged to ar
cept applicants who did the work
without the label. DR.. Holmes
says he wishes to serve an un-
denominational church that has
for it's primary object and aim
Identification with the service of
the people Of it's community.
Since he has already established.
this tie between himself and his
community, the change in denom-
nation will be little more than
form; but there is small doubt
that it will open to him wider
field, and bring him in touch with
a still larger number of people
who are in need Of wise and sane
leadership.
The writer wishes to say that
one of her greatest regrets in
leaving New York City, was that
she would henceforth be deprived
of the pleasure and profit of
sitting under the ministry Of John
Haynes Holmes. Over twenty
years ago / had through a Uni
tartan friend in New Orleans
learned of DR.. Holmes as a min
lister who believed in Christiani--
ing politics: as one who taught
that political conditions could not
and would not improve as long as
good men and good women held
aloof. Soon after my arrival III
New York in the winter of 1917,
| again heard Of this man as Pas
tor of the Church Of the Messiah

my health would permit | hunted

The real lives wires-that is
those Of our citizens who wish to
have their streets put down in the
right manner-seem to be the res
idents of the East Side. On Mon
day evening last a number OF
them met at the home Of Commits
soiner Girard to discuss just what
kind of gravel they wished and
also the manner in which they
wish the work to be done. After
general discussion, they ap-
pointed a committee consisting of
Mr.. F. NJ. Bodin, Chas. l.. Provost
and Frank Dauterive to take full
charge of the work when it is
commenced. They intend TO see
that Dunerier Avenue and Bridge
street gets the best gravel adapted
to use as a highway. From what
we could ascertain it is their III
tention to have constructed con-
crete surface drains at the same
time and they will not be satisfied
with only a few inches Of gravel
either. 1t is their intention to in
vestigate carefully what is tie
best material and then to see that
it is put down so that it will not
wash off into the cutters as some.

tected by a curbing.

Notwithstanding the fact that
Parish taxes OH real estate can
not be accepted by Sheriff Landry
for the next fifty. days owing 10
the rejection of the rolls by the
State Board Of Appraisers, which
necessitates another roll being
made by the Assessor, those who
owe for licenses and wish to settle
them can get receipts at any time
by calling at the Tax Collector S
office. 1t is regretted that the as
sessments has to be made over
again because most Of the taxpay-
ers have always paid their taxes
about this time each year. In
this case they simply will have TO
hold their money until everything
is in shape and the books placed

COrOner's
Inquest
Over the Death of Gerald
Sumner and Mrs. Ray
mOnd Sumner.
Fenton, June 25th.

Fenton, June 10Th.
A coroner's inquest was held be-
fore Justice Charles Corrigan to-
day over the death of Mrs. Ray
mond Sumner and her son, Gerald
Sumner, who were killed Sunday
morning when the Grand Trunk
train No. 16 ran into their auto
mobile wrecking the car, carrying
il down the track about fifty feet.
Gerald Sumner, a boy six years
Of age, was killed instantly, and
his mother, Mrs. Raymond, lived
about three hours and died as a
result of injuries received; four
others in the car were badly in
jured.
The entire community was
shocked to learn Of the frightful
accident. A coroner's inquest was
held, Clarence Tinker appearing as
attorney for the Grand Trunk
Railway, and w. f. Robb, Secre-
tary of the Howell Auto Insurance
Company, appeared for the Sum-
ner family. 1t appeared that on
the main street Of Fenton a gate
keeper was employed TO protect
the public on week days but that
the gates were not operated on
Sundays. A number of the lead
ing business men of Fenton testi-
fed that they had witnessed mar
row escapes as most people relied
on the gates being up as an in
| vitation to pass over the track in
safety. They also testified that
the traffic on Sundays by automo-
biles was much greater than on
week days, and that there was a
greater necessity for a watchman
on Sunday to protect the public.
The jury consisting Of some of the
best men of Fenton brought in a
verdict placing the responsibility
on the railway company for not
operating the gates to protect the
public.
| Mr.. Sumner was insured in the
Howell company for collision in
surance. This accident shows the
necessity Of carrying automobile
insurance TO protect the car in
case Of a collision with a railroad
train or other moving object, and
the complicated matters arising
| from the operation Of automobiles
| shows the necessity of having an
| attorney in charge Of an automo.
bile insurance company who car
| give its members advice and as.
| sistance when the serious claims
occur.
