START COLON|z|NG
At ELIZABETH, LA.
BLOCKS WILL BE
SOLD ON LONGTIME
PAYMENTS.
COMPANY TO BUY ALL CROPS
Will Not Attempt To Put Raw Prod.
ucts On Market-Company Will
Help Finance Improvements
Made On Land.

New Orleans Ambitious plans
for colonizing cutover long leaf pine
land at Elizabeth, La, are being put
into operation by the Industrial Lum-
Der Company of that town.
The company has holdings of more
than one hundred thousand acres of
land, with three sawmills, located at
Elizabeth and at Oakdale. This dis
tricts is in the middle-western part
of the statssIl II Louisiana. in the heart
of the lons.leaf pine section.
The plan of operation which the
company has prepared is as follows:
The land will be sold in blocks Of 80
acres on long time payments. This
land will be Cleared of trees and
stum1, leaving only enough wood
land on each tract for pasturage.
Roads will be built, each tract to face
a good highway. The company will
help to finance the Improvements. Elk
pert agricultural advice will be at the
service of settlers, in planning of
crops and in caring for them.
A feature of the plan which has not
accompanied other schemes of coloni-
cation is that the company will buy
all the crops and do the marketing IT.
self 1t will not attempt to put the
raw products on the market, but has
built a potato drying plant which is
already in operation, and promises
that Gaming factories and such other
industries as are needed will be built
to care for future crops.
A recent government report, which
representatives Of the lumber com
pany quote, said that the section
around Elizabeth was one of the best
in Louisiana or Mississippi.
Officials say that the Industrial
Lumber Company is firm in announc'
ing that all possible aid will be given
its colonists, the aim throughout be-
ing to establish a permanent citizen
ship, and to make the fertile section
the producing territory it should be.
The company is bringing its coloni-
cation scheme before northern people
who might become interested and is
aruging that the mild climate Of the
south, plentiful rainfall and nearly all
year-round growing season should
prove an irresistible appeal to the
small land owner and tenant farmer
of the North.

This county suffered the loss 81 one
OF her finest young men when Robert
Harrison Freeman, Of Oakley, was
crushed to death under tractor with
which he was blowing on Monday,
March 20. The accident occurred
about ] D. m. on his mothers farm,
which be had worked and managed for
several years, being caused Nv the
sticking OF the machine, which rear
ed up and fell back on him when he
increased the feed OF gas, pinnirg him
under it and killing him Instantly with
his hands still on the steering wheel.
A small colored boy, who was watch
ing the blowing, ran to the house and
notified his sister, who hurried TO the
scene of the accident only 10 find that
she was powerless to extricate him
Not until ten OF his nelghbors had
FASTENED to his aid we're they able 10
prize up the heavy machine and lift
him out. Dir. Dent, who was summon
ed by telephone as soon as the colored
boy reported the catastrophe. stated
that death had been instantaneous,
most Of the weight Of the tractor being
on his chest.
The victim OF this most distressing
accident was one OF the most widely
admired and most affectionately es-
teemed young men in the county and
his loss is personal one TO all who
knew him. An only son, with widow
ed mother and sister dependent on him,
he LEFT Leonard Hall before he gradual
ed to- assume, willingly and manfnlly,
the duty and obligation that deyolved
upon him on the death Of his father
several years ago. From that time
until his untimely death he had de-
voted himself 70 their care and protec-
tion with an energy and steadfastness
truly remarkable in q mere boy, who
had not reached his majority until the
very mpnth In which bis lie was
closed.
HIS death, not sonly inexpressIbIy
sad and heartrending to those who
were near and dear to him, is public
loss TO the community which saw In
his youthful accomplishment the
promise Of career that would have
dlled one Of the brightest pa ses ia the
county's history.
He Is survived by his mother, who
was formerly Miss Cecie Harrison.
and sister, Miss Eleanor Freeman.
His father, Robert Freeman. died
several years ago,
Funeral services were, held at Sacred
Heart Church Wednesday, March 81,
at 8 a. m. Nav he rest in peace.

CHEERFULNESS.

Learn to laugh, good laugh is bet
ter than medicine.
Learn how to tell a story, a well
told story is as good as a sunbeam
in a sick room. Learn to keep your
troubles to yourself, the world is toe
busy to care for your ills and sor-
rows. Learn to stop croking if you
can not see any good in the world
keep the bad to yourself. Learn to
hide your aches and pains under
pleasant smiles. No one cares to
hear whether you have the headache
earache, or rheumatism. Don't cry
tears do well enough in movies but
are out of place in real life.
Learn to meet your friends with a
smile. A good humored man or wo-
man is always welcome, but the dys-
peptic or hypo-chondiac is not wanted
anywhere and is nuisance as well.
Above all give pleasure. Lose no
chance of gaining pleasure. You will
pass through the world but once. and
any good thing or any kindness that
you can show to any human being you
had better do it now. Do not defer il
or neglect it, for you will not pass
this way again.-Clay Robinson, in

AS EWING l.. DAVIS SEES 1T.

Congressman Ewing L. Davis, of
Tennessee was in the city Saturday
and called at state Democratic Head
quarters. To a Banner reporter Mr..
Davis said since his return from
Washington he had been over a con-
siderable portion of the State and had
personally conferred with many DEM
ocrats who have kept themselves in
close touch with the situation in their
counties, and basing his judgment
largely on their reports and his own
survey of conditions in his own dis
trict, he was convinced that both Cox
and Roberts would carry Tennessee
by safe majorities. He said his in
formation was that Roberts would
beat Taylor by $4,000 majority, and
he would not bu surprised in the least
if the Governor defeated his Republi-
can opponent by majority of 10000
in excess of his majority over his
Democratic opponent in the August
primaries, which was more than 3d.
900. He said unquestionably the tide
in the East was rapidly turning to
Gov. Cox and that unless large expen-
ditures of money governed in the end,
the Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent will win in the race. Judge Da-
Wis is noted for his conservatism, and
the fact that he believes Gov. Cox will
win his fight may be taken as conclu-
sive of the sentiment throughout the
country that the next occupant of the
White House will be the Democratic
Governor of Ohio. He is the Man o.
war in this contest" said Mr.. Davis.
"the man of the age, the man of des-
tiny, the man that of all others should
guide the destines of this republic for
the next eight years. My information
and belief is that Gov. Roberts will be
reelected by large majority. This
is not the time for Democrats to air
their differences, but it is the time
when every Democrat should stand by
his guns to the end that the govern
or's majority should be so pronounced
that the Republicans will not recover
from their crushing defeat in the next
fifty years. Nashville Banner.
