The paving of Main and College

favorably, and it is reported that all
the property holders favor it. On
College Street plan has been sug-
gested on a fifty-fifty basis, the
owner to pay fifty per cert and the
city to pay fifty per cent, Main
Street presents a different basis, on
account of the width of the street,
but the plan is to park the center
with alternate ferns, flowers and
palms, and to supplant the present
electric light poles with white way
lights extending all the way to the
Southern depot.
Mayor Mechanism says that the
light company is under contract to
remove the poles, and this will be
done this spring and summer when
the projects will probably be carried
through.

Sheriff thought he was the Grim

right murderer was caught and
convicted. Stewart always pro

held by the officers until his reeard
could be properly looked into.
Last Monday Mr.. Landry received

for burglary and on Thursday he
was handcuffed and taken back to

SENTENCED TO SAVE.

Michael Noonan of Buffalo has
the habit now and the money, and
he is going to keep both. But a
year ago Noonan was arraigned
in Buffalo police court. Judge
Piper decided that what Mike
needed most was course in thrift
and saving so he was sentenced
to turn over $15 a week for a year
to Arch G. Scoby, probation Off
GER of the court, to be invested in
Government Savings Stamps.
Noonan faithfully obeyed the
mandate of the court. I'm fact, sos
he says he "got stuck on it. "
Some week he handed over more
than the required amount, his top
figure for one week being $4S.
On the day his probation was
up, Scoby was in court to turn
over a thousand dollars. the re-
suits of the year Of saving. but
Noonan did not show up. Scoby
got him on the telephone at the
plant of the National Carbon Co.
at Niagara Falls.
"I have got $1,000 for you,
Mike" he said. "You can have
it in the Savings Stamps or yon
can have the money. Come over
and get it. !"
"I'm too busy" answered
Noonan over the wire. "Let the
Stamps wait. Why would / be
coming over for them today I'd
have to lay off and I'd lose
money"
Noonan has the habit.

Between Monday and We'd.

Between Monday and We'd
nesday of next week all of the
sugar mills in the Parish will be
in full operation. Morbihan will
open up by paying $1.0O for each
cent that yellow clarified will
bring on the market, and more
than likely all of the other re-
fners will do as well. In this
event, Notwithstanding the short
crop our cane farmers should
realize between $11.00 and $1,000
per ton for their crop. This is
the general sentiment aiming the
farmers, since sugar has taken
such a drop. 1t is unfortunate
that so many of our sugar cane
growers turned their lands into
rice this season. Many Of the
cane growers also felt that their
crop should bring at least $500,
when they planted. It is a good
thing they were under that opin-
ion, otherwise more of them would
have put in rice and then met
with disaster. This shows the
urgent need of Investigation and
the sooner our farmers realize
that they must not put all Of
their eggs in one basket, the bet

selves of the opportunity. The

EPIPHANY CHURCH.

The first Of November, called
All Saints Day will be a red let
ter day in the calender of Epi-
phany church this year. Some
twelve years or more ago, a visit
ing clergyman seeing the advis-
ability of getting a new commun-
ion service here, suggested that
the members of the congregation
gather from their silver chests,
and jewel cases, worn out pieces
and discarded jewels and gems,
and have them made into a COM
munion service, saying, he knew it
could be done successfully, and be-
ing full of tender memories,
would bend the congregation to-
gether with golden link, while
they observed the Masters COM
mand "This do in remembrance
Of me. :"
A very good amount was col
lected and every doner wrapped
and labeled their individual gift,
all seemed in a strong box, and
entrusted from one good friend
to another, at last, to one of our
good banks for MANY years. but,
many of the most earnest con-
tributers had been promoted to
The church Triumphant. When
that noble band Of women, the
Louisiana Auxiliary. met here in
April, being ever in the Ebert in
doing good, and seeing the need
of a new service in the alter.
they learned of the box Of mate
rial available. and insisted that
our branch of the Auxiliary take
it up. and complete it before it
was again forgotten. The very
capable president of the State
Auxiliary appointing one of the
ladies Ito whom the work was
dear, as she knew the
little church from its earliest
days, and the contributors r. th'S
sacred service most of whom have
passed onward) are her personal
friends, so. the matter was taken
up in earnest.
The treasurer Of the United
Offering in the State organization.
Miss Clark, kindly offered her
services to attend 70 the details
of manufacture. The ohalice and
paten and flagon were personal
gifts of two ladies in memory of
their beloved mother. The whole
service is a Parish Memorial, in
honor of the many dear ones who
have anticipated as in Our Faith
ers' many Mansioned Home.
Some of us may take the next
train. SO, Won see, All Saints
this year will be celebrated oc-
casion. Our old Bishop in Ken
lucky used to say, "All who love
the Lord Jesus Christ arc welcome
at His table" On this occasion
the church militant can join the
church trinmphant in singing the
Glory be to God in high, and on
earth peace good will to men.
