a dresser in the home of Mrs. John

The following is a copy of letter
written by Mayor Sullivan to every
fraternal organization in Bogalusa,
and which is of Importance to every
citizen:
To All Lodges:
At the request of the directors Of
the Bogalusa Chamber Of Commerce
have decided to act as president for
the year 1922. One Of the things
that is most needed in the, city is a
band. We had one, but unfortunate
ly we could not raise money enough
around town to keep it going. Think
this is a very great misfortune, as
we have so many celebrations here
and a little music adds so much to
the occasion that ! am determined
that one of the first things I do as
president of the Chamber of Com
merce is to get a band organized.
Am writing this same kind of a

CARP RESTSFOR
FINAL WORKOUT
Dempsey Not Overtrain-
ed, SAYS Judge Bon
niwell

MANHASSET, N. Y, June 28.-
Today was a period of rest for Geor-
ges Carpenter, after tramp through
the woods, preparatory to his final
workouts Wednesday and Thursday
before the fight of Saturday of this
week.
In six rounds of sparring Monday
afternoon Carpenter gave all of his
tricks tryout, much to the discom-
future of Chris Arnold, the Buffalo
electromagnetic, Joe Jeanette and
Paul Samson, a 200-pounder.
Georges boxed each of them two
rounds. Arnold said afterwards that
Carpenter was the hardest thing to
hit he has ever seen. While they
worked, Georges rained snappy but
SEAMLESS blows on Arnold's body.
With Samson, Georges had slug
ging match and though he pulled his
punches he had the big fellow groggy
and was compelled to ease up.
