FARMERS TO GET CURRENT

Plans are being laid for the sup
plying OF electric current to the farm
ing section south OF Buck lake. The
current is to be supplied by abe Alpha
Lighting Co.
The policy of the Peninsula Power
Co. which SUPPLIES the current to the
Alpha concern and which practically
controls that corporation, is TO sup
ply current to farmers wherever pos
sible. II is reported that the factor
of supply is a mile for three farmers.
BY building less than mile OF line
this Buck lake district can be reach
ed and as there are 3S farmers there
the time is not far distant when that
locality Will be a respectable user Of
current.

HAS NEW WAY TO
DEAL WITH VAMPS

Ruby James, colored, who resides
in the company quarters, has a repu-
tation of being some little vamp
among her race. With it she carried
reputation Of being a "bad actor"
and. is said to have flashed a bad
looking knife on several occasions
when other negresses put up a COM
plant of her conduct. She has been
getting away with her work in good
styles for over year, but Monday
morning Lucinda James decided that
Ruby had gone far enough in "vamp-
ing her man." SO she proceeded to
tell Ruby, who showed a fighting
spirit.
Lucinda secured a double-barrel
shotgun and went to Ruby's home
and fired both barrels at her. That
Ruby's head was not blown off was
due to the fact that Lucinda aimed a
little high. One shot took effect On
the center of Ruby's forehead and
blood flowed freely. The police were
called and Lucinda was charged with
attempt to commit murder and is now
being held in the parish Jail for trial.

Tells How ToDo
Away With Washday

eff the ladies of Bogalusa could
realize the convenience and the small
expense of doing away with the fam
lily washing, the worry, work and
trouble connected with doing it your
self, having some one come to your
house and do it, or sending it to some
colored woman's house where it is
kept for several days, there would
a hundred or more happier wives in
Bogalusa," said a we'll known lady of
Avenue B. 81 used to- think it was
one Of the duties that every house
wife had to put up with, and there is
not one that doeos not dread wash
days. / understood that the Boga-
lusa Laundry did the family wash; ;
would send it complete, iron part of
it, or send it rough dry, but l al
ways thought that it would be very
expensive. For several weeks I put
up with a poor washerwoman, and
then, one week, I could not get one.
I decided to try out the Bogalusa
Laundry, and you can imagine my
surprise when it was returned few,
days later and / found that the cost
was just about the same as ] had
been paying. And how it was washed
and ironed-it was SO clean and the
ir0ning So good that no one could in
duce me to send my washing else
where.
81. know that every article viii
come back; that my washing is done
separately, and that all have to do
is to hand the washing to tho laun-
dryman, who calls for ard returns it.
think that if the ladies of Bogalusa
could realize the satisfaction, the
class of work and the little expense
that it would require, the full time
of the local laundry would be re-
quired- to do the family washing Of
the Bogalusa citizens"
