Better Hurry With
Income Tax Report

Have you made out your income
tax repofs Il you have, yon are
one Of the few from Bogalusa who
have attended to this matter. In
ternal Revenue Collector Fontenot
u New Orleans spent Monday in Bo-
galusa, being a guest Of honor with
the visiting bankers, and he stated
that while Bogalusa was known as
an ideal little city, where business is
rapidly done. that few from here
have made their income tax report.
However. other cities Of the state
are no more prompt than Bogalusa.
Dir. Fontenot desires to impress upon
the citizens Of Bogalusa, as well as
his entire district, that there win be
no extensions made this year, and
unless yoW report is filed on o. be-
fore midnight Of March 18th, you are
subject to a heavy fine.
For the convenience Of citizens Of
Bogalusa and vicinity Mr.. Fontenot
viii have one Of his best field men
here the first week in. March to as
sist those who desire information.
Married men who have made over
$1,000 during the past year, and sim
gle persons who have made over
$1,000, must make a report. You can
remit il installments If you desire,
but the report, with 25 per cent Of
the income tax, must be in New Or
leans By March 18th.

City VIII Enforce
Stock Ordinance

Citizens Of BOgalusa who have
read in the Enterprise that hogs are
to be kept up and the stock law en-
forced. need not think that it is just
an alarmist notice to scare the own
ers Of hogs and goats.
Commissioner Of Health and Puaa
lie Safety ]. B. Lindsey wishes to
give fair warning to all owners Of
such stock that they must be kept
up. he is Of the opinion that owners
have now had ample time to make
plannings for eorralling such stock,
and hereafter hogs win not be per-
mitted to roam the streets, as they
have been doing.
During the past few days there
has been a'noticeable decrease in the
number Of hogs and goats. on the
street, but there are a few owners
who have not provided pens for their
hogs, or think the law win not be en-
forced.
In view Of the fact that Bogalusa
had some Of the finest war gardens
in the state and that similar plans
are being made to have hundreds Of
gardens in the city this year, the Of
ficials must see that the hogs and
goats are not permitted to destroy
these gardens, as they have in the
past. Spring time is here, and it
means garden time, and garden time
means that the stock ordinance is to
be enforced. II you are fortunate
enough to own a porker, or more,
you had better see that his pen win
keep him off the streets, because if he
gets out, he is going to get in-some
body's garden, and then land in the
pound.

House on last Saturday is as fol-
lows:
Believing that the Republican party
has an excellent chance to elect
member Of Congress from the Ninth
Congressional District to the National
House of Representatives at the elcc-
ton in 1920, we, the Republicans Of
Montgomery county, desire to present
to the Republicans of the Ninth Con-
gressional District the name of Judge
Fl. Clay Mckee, of Mt. Sterling, KY,
as suitable candidate for the Con-
gressional nomination for Congress
in the Ninth Congressional District.
Judge Mckee is a good lawyer, a
loyal and uncompromising Republi.
cans, speaker of ability, and q good
mixer, and we believe that should
he be nominated he can make win
ming race. We hope that the Rspub-
licans will give Judge Mckee this
nomination, because we believe in his
strength and courage to go on the
stump and plead the cause of Re-
publicanism in a way that will bring
strength to the ticket in said Ninth
District.

ADDRESSES FILsoN CLUE

Lewis Fitzpatrick, of this city, ap-
peared before the Filson Club Mon
day night in the Public Library at
Louisville and lectured on William
Calk and his trip to Kentucky in
1776. This pioneer kept a journal
in which he recorded with touch of
humor many hardships and romances
that were experienced by him and
his men. Mr.. Fitzpatrick read the
original document and also gave a
short story Of the writer's life which
he compiled after much research.
Roosevelt, commenting on the jour-
nal, said it was the most valuable
document bearing on early pioneer
days in Kentucky. The journal has
not heretofore been presented in full,
nor has any historian ever written a
sketch Of this almost forgotten pio-
neer who laid out the town of
Boonesboro. The address was listened
to by good crowd.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick, as author and lee
turer, has a brilliant future before
him, and it is with much pride that
Mt. Sterling claims him as her own
