WOMEN OF TENsAs.

The 10th amendment to the Con-
stitution Of the United States, adopt
cd at the earnest solicitation of the
women throughout the country, and
after years of campaigning and pro-
poganda, gave to the women Of the
country the same right of franchise
that had before been given to the
men. Now that they have the right
TO vote, it is their duty as good
citizens to exercise that right and
privilege, and by their votes prove
that they are worthy of the great
privilege which has been conferred
on them. Their first duty is to pay
Poll Tax Before The First Day of
January, and unless they do, they
will not have the right to vote, for
two years, as before being permitted
to vote, they must show their poll
tax receipts for the two years prior
TO the year in which they offer to
vote, and these Poll Taxes must have
been paid on or before the last day
Of December of the year in which
the tax is due. Therefore, ladies,

Mr.. LEOPOLD ELcUTTER.

The death of Mr.. Leopold FL
gutter occurred suddenly at his home
at Newellton on the evening Of De-
cember LIST, and was directly attlibut-
ed to heart failure. He was sitting
with his family, his two daughters
and son-in-law and grandchildren, and
was engaged in social game of
cards, when the final summons came
SO Unexpectedly. Rising from his
chair he gave a gasp and fell to the
floor and ere he could be raised his
soul had returned to Him who gave
it.
Mr.. Elgutter was born in Germany,
April 16, 1853, and was therefore
in his 10th year. His parents were
Hyman Elgutter and Rebecca Jacobs.
Coming to America when about II
years old he located in Vidalia and
has spent his entire life, since reach
ing manhood, in Concordia and Ten
sas parishes. He has resided in New
elton continuously for half century,
Mr.. Elgutter was married on October
6, 1885, to Miss Jenny Jacoby; to this
union 9 children were born, Of
whom survive. They are: Beulah (Mrs
Ed. Morris), Rosa, both living al
Newellton; Morris and Michael, who
live in New Orleans, and Gus, who
lives at Baton Rouge. He is also sur
vived by his younger brother, Mr.
Adolph Elgutter,> Of Baton Rouge
The remains were tasen to New Or.
leans for interment in st. Joseph
cemetery and laid to rest by the side
Of his wife who had preceded him
to the Great Beyond some years
before.
The sudden passing Of Mr.. E.guttel
came as a blow to the town Of New
elton in particular and the parish Of
Tensas in general. For fifty years he
had been with us, good and useful
citizen. He was a devoted husband
and kind and indulgent father. He
ever stood for wha. was highest and
best for society and government ane
human nature and to his friend:
was the soul of fellowship. But The
greatest Of all he was a man! And a
q man it is that those who knew hin
best must love to contemplate him
He believed in the fatacrhood Of Coo
and the brotherhood oe man. He wal
charitable in his judgment Of hi
fellowman and was ever willing {:
make allowance for his less weaAel
brother. As q Mason, perhaps til
Oldest in the parish, he quietly prac
ticed in his daily walks the nobi'
precepts Of that ancient order. and u
the day of plenty shared LIBERAL!
] with his less fortunate ones but neve
letting the right hand know what tn
left hand did. At the emf Of . lon:
and useful life he quietly fell asleep
leaving behind him memory Of hi
goodness to his fellow being ant

prompt this laudible action. We are
well aware that as war springs from
the selfishness of men, the perfect
ideal of abiding peace can never be
realized in this present world. Only
as the hearts Of individual men and
women are changed BY Gods grace,
will the nations Of earth submit to
the principles Of right and right
eousness. But while we may not
hope to realize the full fruition Of
our strivings, the mitigation Of the
evils Of war in any measure is well
worth the effort, and should have
the consistent support of every lover
Of peace.
z. We are therefore encouraging
our people devoutly to pray for your
personal guidance, and for the guild
ance of those assembled in the Con-
ference for the Limitation of Arma-
ments, that the great Ruler Of ma
tions may further the cause Of inter-
national peace, to the end that fu-
ture wars and bloodshed, with. all
their attendant and consequent hor-
rors, may be averted, and that the
vast sums spent for ornaments Of
war may be devoted to the anchor
alton Of human woe and to the adj
vancement Of peaceful pursuits.

REASON FOR RESIONING
Judge King Explains Why He Lef,
the Bench

inc DenCn
In an article In the Marion papers
Judge R. L. King gives his reasons
for 'resigning the judgship; and says
"The 1921 session of the legisla-
ture passed law providing in cub.
stance that where an attorney in q
case Is related to the Judge IL the
adverse party or his attorney de-
mands it such case shall be tried by
calling Judge from another dis
trict or by the election Of a Judge
pro tenn. MY son, Roscoe King, born
and raised in Marion county, has
been engaged in the law practice In
Marion county for about eight years.
To apply the above statute to what
ever cases he might have the practi-
cal effect would destroy his business
make 1t uncertain when he could get
his case tried or who the Judge
would be to try the same. With this
situation, after passage of the
above law, 1t seemed to me that the
alternative was presented that
Roscoe would have to quit his prac-
tice, move to another district or that
I should retire from the bench.
Rather than have this happen, con-
cluded to retire, and this is my para
mount reason for retirement"

daughters have made no indication
as to their action upon such

such definite action that the objec-
tion to the ruling has been forthcom-
ing from the members of the board
of education or the school faculty.
Among the specifications Of the
regulation costume as fxed by the
mothers, aSe the following:
