1--WE Will Do 1t Bogalusa
Style.'

means the celebration of July
Fourth and the sixth anniversary
of the birth of the City of Boga-
lusa, which will be held on July
3, will be a regular big time
demonstration. There will be
several thousand visitors in at.
tendance, and we are assured by
the com mittee that the more the
merrier as far as the prepare.
lions are concerned.
The fireworks committee was
authorized at a recent meeting
of the committee chairmen held
at the Y. M. G. A., to go as far
as it likes in providing some first
class displays, so we all know
what to expect. Several of the
largest firms in the United
States are bidding against each
other to handle the contract.
They know Bogalusa does things.
More than thirty musicians
from Columbia, Miss, Indus
trial school will be here for the
great day, and Secretary Blay'
ney of the Y. M. G. A. has been
notified that the band is re.
hearsiDg special music for the
concerts. The local !"Y" band
will also participate and an effort
is being made to secure a band
from New Orleans.
If you come here as stran.
ger it won't be for long, because
a representative committee of
ladies and gentlemen will see to
it that everybody is given a
regular Bogalusa welcome, and
that's some warm greeting. The
Cumberland Telephone and Tele
graph Company, through Mana,
ger Parnell, will furnish free
telephone service for several
booths.
The Y. w. G. A. will stage
several attractive numbers, and
the Y. M. G.. A. will have stars in
the athletic and held meet as
we'll as the boxing contests. The
baseball devotees will have
something worth seeing in the
games which will be played. The
amusement committee is pre-
pairing a card which will be full
of events. A cordial invitation is
extended to persons from the
parishes adjacent to Bogalusa to
enter.
Our friends and neighbors are
earnestly requested to decorate
their automobiles, buggies and
wagons with flags and bunting
and bring them to Bogalusa on
July 3. We're you ever at one OF
those old fashioned hand shake
home coming affairs, get the
idea. Well that's exactly what
the celebration of July Fourth on
July Third in Bogalusa is going
to be-, so come over and see US,
we want all of you to get better
acquainted with Bogalusa, and
there is no better way or more
acceptable day than on July 8
when the Independence of the
United States and the sixth
birthday of this growing city
will be celebrated. Come, and
bring the little folks, babies and
all. WELCOME in big letters
will be on Bogalusa's door mat.
The keys uf the city are in your
hands, open the locks and walk
right in. Remember the day,
July 3, and be sure to be pres
ent. Plenty room for everybody
and worlds of fun and amuse'
ment awaits you.

"The Hush Campaign"

The Era-Leader;
notice an article in The Louis
lana Federationist, a labor union
paper published in the city of
New Orleans June 4, 1920, which
has been scattered freely in Wash.
ington parish, an article published
under the caption Of "The Hush
Campaign which requires a
statement from me. In this arti.
Gle is found the following expires
sion: "The plain people of Wash
ington Parish were shocked by
the rumor that the prosecuting
attorney is alleged to have ad'
vised the latter jury (meaning the
last Grand Jury)it could not in
dict any of the thirteen murderer.
(meaning the thirteen men from
Bogalusa, who we're charged by
affidavit with the killing of Lum
Williams and three others) unless
it also found similar bills against
all members of the socalled 10y.
atty League the organization
of which led the killing.'
This is lie made out of the
whole cloth and the Louisiana
Federationist knows that it. 8 a lie,
or else they should know it be-
cause they had every opportu :
nifty to know it. Their Mr.. Don.
nell, their Mr.. Nichols, and last
but not least, their Mr.. NJ. |. Var
nado and Amos l.. Ponder were
on the scene during the entire in.
vestigation of the killing at Boga.
lusa at the sitting of the Grand
Jury and it would have been easy
for them to get true statement
of the advise l gave the Grand
Jury, either from the Grand
Jurymen themselves or from me.
This Union paper has been
very unfair in its statements in
regard to the killing at Bogalusa
and every article on that subject
that l have seen was full of false
hoods and misrepresentation.
Two Grand Juries, composed of
as good, as honorable, as repre-
sentative citizens as our parish
contains, made a thourough in.
vestigation fthe killing at Boga-
lusa, summoning every witness
that could be found that could
give any light on the subject. A
great many of these names were
furnished by the supposed assist
ants of tho State, viz: M. I. VAR
nado and Amos L. Ponder. The
first Grand Jury failed to agree;
they failed to find a true bill
or a no true bill, which left
the case open for the next
grand jury. The next grand jury
went over the same evidence,
which took about two or three
days, and after hearing the evil
dence found "a No True Bill"
/ do not believe that any mem
bers of either grand jury who
heard all the evidence believes
thata conviction could ever be
had and I challenge this Union
paper and the supposed assistants
Of the State to show one instance
wherein I, as District Attorney,
failed or neglected to do my full
sworn duty. There has been en-
tirely too much untruthful agita-
ton.
Yours Truly.

Last Friday night the High School
boys and girls basketball teams, to-
gether with nearly fifty rootsrs,
motorsd to Bennett to play their
second league game. The Bennett
floor was 70 small It greatly handi-
capped our players, but they made
the best Of the situation and left the
floor victorious In both instances.
The girls played first and had q
hard tn1sis 70 win out. The BEN
nett maidens put up lively game
but the Arvada pep" which i Of
the cayenne order, proved to much
and the final score stood Arvada IL,
Bennett 8. The Arvada lineup was
- follow: Centers, Buhla Hyette.
Hssel Graves; Helen
Newton, Ruth Foster; guards-Anna
Barker, Sarah CarabIin.
I The boys and girls teams played
in quarters, thereby making the
games less strenuous for the players.
The local boys proved masters Of
the floor at all times. They even
got careless and made a number Of
fouls which gave the prairie boys
opportunities galore to even up the
score but they proved incapable.
Eleven field baskets were shot by
our boys while the Bennett squad
were making five. Arvada scored
eight points from the foul line and
Bennett seven. When the scrim-
mage was over the final score stood
Arvada 30, Bennett II.
