tional Bank. State National Bank
and the Bank of Loreauville have
decided to close their banking
houses every afternoon at three
o'clock P. NJ. during the remain
der of the summer months. This
change they found necessary to
make because Of the great amount
of bookkeeping that has to be
done by the employees after clos
ing hours, keeping them busy
oftentimes until seven in the
evening. The change will allow
the employees a little more rec
reation when they are off duty
each day, which they are entitled
to after such close confinement.

found the advertisement of the

tention to the children that they
are prepared to purchase any
quantity of old wrapping or news
paper at a price that will justify
the children in gathering it up by
the wholesale. This will be prof
liable employment to many of the
boys during the summer months
and no doubt many will take ad-
vantage of it. There are tons
upon tons of paper burned and
otherwise wasted in this commun-
itv that could be gathered up and
sold to these buyers at a handsome
profit to the children. It be

The habit some people have
Of throwing glass bottles and
broken glass of every conceivable
kind in cutters in front of their
premises should be abated. Last
SATURDAY. little daughter Of Mr..
CASTOR Mestayer was playing on
the, sidewalk on Week Street and
in some unaccountable manner
slipped and fell into the gutter
cutting her face so severely that
stitches had to be used. In fact
she had narrow escape from
losing an eye. These occurrences
have been quite common here and
several children have suffered in
'jured feet while walking in the
cutters, as children will do, when
fresh rain water is in the bitches.
The habit of throwing glass out in
the street, or, in the cutters is a
bad practice for any one. It is far
better to pick MP glass and fin
cans that cut like a knife and
deposit it in some place where it
will do no harm So many chil-
dren get cut with glass that it is

Parish REPRESENTATIVE L. A


Parish Representative L. A.
Moresi dropped in our sanctum
last Sunday and left with us a
beautiful piece of crystal salt
which was mined at the new JEFF
ferson Island, owned by Messrs.
Bayliss & Jones. The salt was
extracted at a depth of one hum
dred and two feet and in a few
weeks the operators will be ship
ping salt to the market. The shaft
measures % feet in diameter and
is constructed Of steel and con-
crete. This industry will be of
great benefit to this Parish in a
few months because of the large
number of men it will give steady
employment. From what we learn
the owners are doing everything
within their means to arrange
comfortable quarters for the, en-
ployees who will live on the is,
land. IF this be true they should
experience no difficulty in holding
their labor. Comfortable houses
for the respective families of the
miners mean satisfied employees.
