the year was held and several
matters of Importance acted up
on. The entire work of the con-

assessments raised and complete
reports furnished for the annual
conference which will meet on

AT this session two women
we're added to the board of stew
ards, Mrs. Ada Darlington and

first time in the history of the

were permitted to serve on that
body.
A resolution was passed pro
testing against the unitcation OF
the various branches of the
Methodists.
| A resolution was also passed
asking for the return to this
church of both the pastor anc

Official Report.

The Womal,'s Missionary Soci-
ety. of the Methodist church sent
IN its financial report Sunday to
the fourth quarterly conference
held by Rev. W. H. May, presid'
ing elder of the Baton Rouge dis
trict.
We felt indeed grateful to have
Bro. May say it was the best re.
port he had yet received. Our
budget for the year will exceed
$4,000.
We feel tho that the financial
part is a secondary consideration,
Our spiritual advancement espe-
cially in the number of praying
members and the willing workers
is what we are most thankful for.
Our membership is larger and our
attendance better than it has ever
been. We have every depart.
ment working except the young
Peoples Society, which work is
best carried on by the Epworth
League in a town this size.
Our Junior Society in charge
of Mrs. Osborne Simmons receiv.
cd the blue ribbon for being the
best in the district and is seconc
best in the State.
The Superintendent of Social
Service and Supplies deserves
special mention, through hel
our local needs have been bounti
fully supplied and three boxes
) have been packed, with still
another to be sent to st. Marks
Hall in New Orleans on Thanks
giving.
Every Wednesday is red let
ter day for us. The first Wednes
day we meet in the various home
at which time we have the Mis-
sionary program in the year book
The second and fourth Wednes
days the Mission study clas
meets, and on the third Wednes
day we have the regular business
citing. We plan something
special for the fifth Wednesday.
i We hardly see how the othe
women of our church can ge
along without attending thes
meetings. The social intercours
and the spiritual uplift we ge

r, X. Jenkins Announcement.

Attention is called to the an
nouncement of R. r. jenkins
who is a candidate for Police
Juror from the Sixth Ward.
Mr.. Jenkins is we'll known as
a progressive and reliable citizen,
a prosperous farmer and a man
well acquainted with public at.
fairs and especially with the
needs of the ward which he seeks
to represent, and we feel sure
that if elected to that office he
will make an efficient and pains
taking member of the Police
Jury.

the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Statham OF Sunny Hill and is an

Rev. J. F. Waltman. pastor of
the Mt. Hermon M. E. church,
preached his last sermon for this
conference year in the church
yesterday. A large crowd was
| in attendance for both services.
The church is in better condition
than it has been for years. We
are very grateful to the young
folks of the church for their
generous response to the call
for PASTORAL support. Especial
ly do we commend the young
ladies of the church who are out
working for their living. In ev.
cry instance when their assess
ment was sent them by the board
of stewards they resp 'ndrd in
full and some Of them twice the
amount of their assessments.
This shows a vital interest for
the church by these young folks
and bespeaks a bright future for
the church as the young people
are the life of all institutions and
we thank them for their kind
support.

Bids For Road Construction
Opened.

A surprise met the Highway
Department Monday when bids
we're opened for construction of
model roads between Franklin
ton and Bogalusa and Franklin
ton and Warnerton, the lowest
bid being $1,000 per mile, exclu-
sive of bridges. This rate seems
to make construction impossible
as the entire $50O,0OO would be
required for only one short
space of road building. 1t re-
mains with the Police Jury how
ever to accept or reject the bids
and it is presumed they will act
on the matter at the regular
monthly meeting next week.

The Model Parish.

"A Sheriff who does not carry |
a gun.
A jailhouse which has never
had an occupant.
That is the record for Cameron
parish.
D. R. Grain is the sheriff. He
never carries pistol. Whenever
there is an infraction Of the law
he merely sends a postal card to
the offenders and notifies them to
appear at court. They always
come.
Altho the parish Jail was built
seven years ago, it has never had
an occupant. In the cells are
cobwebs.
How is that for honest, God
fearing people?-Lake Charles
American.
The model parish spoken OF
above is the birthplace of Rev.
F. N. Sweeney who says the par
ish has never allowed the sale of
whiskey within its borders and it
has the reputation of Leiug very
nearly 100 per cent in the strict
observance of the law in all par.
ticulars.
How wonderful 'twould be if
the hundreds of dollars required
for upkeep of jails and prls 'ners
in the various other parishes of
the state, could be used for build
ing good roads or for y.ground
equipment in rural schools or
some other public benefit. Give
us more "model parishes" and we
can surely find good use for the
money so saved.
