Major Duson Wins
Stars of Service
In Big Battles

Major Cur1ey P. Duson, nephew of
w. w. Duson and son of the late c.
C. Duson, spent a few hours in Crow
ley on Monday last visiting friends
and relatives. The beginning of the
war found the young major a lieuten-
ant; but his promotion was rapid dur
ing his year of service overseas, first
from his ~Iieutenancy to a captaincy,
and then to his majority. Young Du-
son is not yet twenty-five years of age,
being one of the youngest majors in
the army.
His outfit, the Ninth Machine Gun
Brigade, first saw European service
on April 81, 1918-just at the time
when the victorious German hordes
were sweeping everything before
them in the rush to Paris and took
part in the engagements around Cha
teau Thierry, Fismes, Creamy, the
Argonne, and in all the hard fighting
that finally eliminated in the Ger
man surrender. During these engage
ments his battalion lost every officer
except himself, and the command of
the whole battalion was given to him.
After a few weeks he received his
commission as Major which rank he
held throughout his stay in Germany
with the army of occupation.
Major Duson is now at Ell Campo
Texas, visiting his brother, DR.. w.
w. Duson, of that city. At the ex-
piration of his leave he will return to
the army, where he intends to remain

MONTHLY REPORT

To the Council Town of Eunice.
Gentlemen:-According to your in
structions at our last melting I have
had the town attorney send US as or
s1inance covering the "Stock Law"
Along these same lines | have had
prepared two other ordinances which
/ hope will meet with your approval
and which l hope one of you will in
1Ioduee.
These ordinances take care of re-
moving of grass and weeds growing
ON the sidewalks, and removing grass
weeds and refuse of all kinds on va
cant lots and any premises placing
them In a sanitary condition. | have
carefully read these ordinances and
recommend them for you approval.
4 am sorry to have to report to your
body that there seems to be a dispo-
ssition on the part of some of our 9th
aexwise law abiding citizens to ignore
the hog law, and take advantage of
the absence or sickness of our Mar
shai to deliberately turn their hogs
out ON the streets. 1t is not a pleas
ant duty at any time to chase hogs
around town to impound them and
during the present hot weather it Is
ALMOST next to impossible. ! would
suggest as a means of solving the sit
slation, that the ordinance prohibiting
hogs running at large be amended so
AN to increase the fine to $1.00, and
4sne upkeep or feeding at Scots per day.
Should this fail | will ask this council
so pass an ordinance prohibiting hogs
within the city limits whether con-
fined in pens or otherwise. Most
atowns the size Of Eunice do not al
dow hogs in town at all as they are
