Bank Affairs to Be Wound Up.

The Chief learns from Jas. P.
Armitage, special agent Of the liqui-
dator of the Bank of Donaldsonville
and Peoples Bank, which closed
about six years ago, that the affairs
of both institutions will be finally
wound up in the course of the next
sixty days or less. The amount of
dividends to be distributed from the
first named bank is $4,000, and
from the latter, $4,000. A total of
about 5000 checks will be issued to
depositors covering the $4,000 dis
bursements from both banks, and
large portion of the amount will go
to people in this city and vicinity
and will come in very handy to
many of them.

election NEXT SATURDAY.

The election for municipal officers
of the town of Donaldsonville will take
place next Saturday, May 7. Three
commissioners are to be selected as
follows: Mayor and commissioner of
public health and public safety; COM
missioner of finance and commissioner
of streets and parks, and for the
first time in many years there are
two party tickets in the feld-a
Democratic, with Jos. N. Gisclard as
candidate for mayor ;Charest Thibaut
for commissioner Of finance and D.
Ohlmeyer for commissioner of streets
and parks, and Republican, headed
by K. A. Aucoin for mayor; Henry
Goette for commissioner of finance
and L. ]. Echeverria for commission-l
er of streets and parks. The cam
paign, considering the fact that the
contest is a party one, has been an
exceptionally quiet one. The canvass
throughout has been mostly of the
m-shoe style, nor are there any in
dications that it will become more
strenuous during the closing week of |
The contest. The candidates and
heir friends evidently prefer to rest
heir claims to public favor upon

TO HAVE BASEBALL TEAM.
Club Organized and Funds Raised to
Provide for Semi ofessional Team.

Club Organized and Funds Raised K
| Provide for Semi Professional Team.
Donaldsonville is to have a semi
professional baseball team this sea
son and the popular sport which has
| attracted SO many large and en-
thusiastic crowds to the fair grounds
here in the past, is soon to be re-
sumed. At a meeting of business
men and friends Of baseball held at
theSHotel Donaldson last Wednes-
day, club was organized and ar
rangements were made to raise the
necessary funds to provide for a
team of tirst-class players.
The meeting was called to order by
Richard Melancon, clerk of court, and
after some interesting discussion on
the part of those present, permanent
organization was effected by the elec-
ton of the following executive COM
mittee charged with the duty of de-
vising ways and means and plans for
carrying the team through the sea-
son: L. Montero, Charesp Thibaut,
Emile LeBoeuf, J. Clarence Leblanc
and R. Melancon.
The committee then met and elec
ted the following officers: R. Melan
con, president and manager; L. Mon
tero, assistant manager; Charest Thi-
baut, secretary-treasurer.
In few hours time Thursday near
ly $1,000 was raised among the b1s6
ness men ansAlovers of the sport in
this city, anN&t this writing the
total subscription to the fund has
reached $1400. The committee @
pointed to canvass the city, hopa1ko
increase this sum to $500 in s)feW
days. These funds are to be used
to finance the team.
The club is in the field for games
with high-class semi-professional
teams, and will give preference to
clubs from the country
The management hopes to have one
of the fastest semi-professional teams
in this section of the country and to
wind up a successful season at the
South Louisiana Fair to be held here
in the month of October.
1t will be source of much graft
fcation to the baseball fans in this
and neighboring parishes to learn
that Donaldsonville is to have team
this season. Because of it's central
location this city is one of the most
easily accessible to the lovers Of the
sport and therefore one Of he best
baseball towns in the state. Besides
there is here one Of the best parks
and diamond and one of the largest
grandstands to be found anywhere.
Vast multitudes Of people, many
coming from long distances, have as
sembled at the park to witness some
thrilling and exciting Contests in the
past, and the lovers Of the ga Dpe look
forward with much anticipation to
an early resumption of the sport.

are fully competent to decide this

they will do so intelligently. The
polls will open at o'clock in the
morning and close at 7 in the evening.

% ENCOURAGE LOCAL TRADING

The Chief has been asked to call at.
ltion to the great benefit which
would rebound to the Texas and
Pacific Railway, the merchants of
Donaldsonville and the people who re-
side in the parish of st. James on
the west bank of the river, if the
east bound passenger train which
passes this city at p. H., could be
made to stop at St. James and
Vacherie stations. The people of St.
James, to very large extent, deal
with the merchants of Donaldsonville.
The few who own automobiles find it
easy with their use to come here and
make their purchases, but the many
who do not own cars must come
by the trains which arrives at 9:39
a. M, and because of the fact that the
4 o'clock train does not stop at points
in st. James, they must leave by the
1927 train, and are thus given less
than three hours time to do their
shopping here. If arrangements
could be made whereby the late after
noon train would stop at St. James
and Vacherie, thus giving visitors
coming up on the 9:39 train at least
six hours time in Donaldsonville, it
would greatly improve the convent
ence of the st. James purchasers;
would undoubtedly encourage and
greatly increase traffic over the road
between that parish and this city
and result in much greater vol
ume of bYSip less and trade FOR the
local mez khts.
From he standpoint of the mer-
chants the proposition is of sufficient
Importance to warrant the making of
an effort to have the trainS>Rke the
stops 4ptioned, and from thv view
point Of the railroad ,sthe increase in
traffic which would result would |
more than justify the slight delays
and Inconvenience involved.
