good woman is gone, one who
was loved by all who knew her.
Not only will she be missed by
the loved ones of her family but
by the entire community. She
was devoted mother, kind and
loving to all. God saw fit to re-
move her from this world of sin
and pain and take her to a home
not made with hands, but where
a crown of righteousness is laid
up for all who are faithful as she
was. So dear ones weep not as
those who have no hope but go
and meet mother at the pearly
gates where she is watching and
reckoning for loved ones to come
and join her. where there will be
no more sad parting nor farewell
tears, but all is peace and hap
piness.
Then sadly we say.
Darling mother thou hast left
US;
Here thy loss we deeply feel
But it's God that has bereft US,
He can all our sorrows heal.
There is no death the stars go
down,
To rise upon some fairer shore;
And bright in heavens jeweled
They shine forever more.

At 1880 o'clock Sunday night the
watchman Of the St. Landry Cotton
Oil company gave the alarm OF IRE.
and his voice could be heard from one
end OF opeIonsas to the other. The
watchman was sitting in the office
and hearing some noise from above
made an investigation and found that
from a defective flue the roof Of the
office had caught fire. The entire
roof was destroyed, and again the fire
fighting boys Of 0pelousas were on
the job and soon the blaze was under
control.
The fire might have proven very
serious as there was situated not
very far from the office building, a
large tank OF oil and should that
have taken afire it is more than pro
babIe that the entire min would have
been consumed, and that would indeed
have been a calamity to the
community for they have stored thou
sands OF dollars worth Of cotton seed,
cotton seed cake. cotton seed meal
huIled and thousand OF gallons Of oil
Here is case where a defective
flue might have cost thousands. and
there is no doubt that defective flues
do daily cost thousands of dollars
Now that the weather is changing and
we look for q very cold spell at any
time, it may not mean lick or miss
to in7estigte the condition Of your
chimneys. fues and the Ike. You
can not be too careful in this regard
and when building flues, see that they
are built according to the Fire Pre-
vention Bureau standard flue.

cannot give good service and eli
inmate any damage unless shipments

Louisiana cotton planters who at
tended the meeting Of the American
Cotton association at Birmingham
are pleased with the acreage policy
adopted, according to w. H. steele,
secretary Of the Louisiana division,
who returned to New Orleans Satnr-
day. Cotton planters IN the south will
be urged to maintain the same acre
age regulations as last year, which
resulted in decreased Of 2s.4 per
cent.
Congress was asked by the conYen-
ton to provide for the gathering OF
statistics as to stocks Of manufac-
tured cotton and conditions in con
suming markets OF the world. accord
ing to Mr.. Steele. Cotton ginners were
requested not to furnish information
as to ginners to any private agency,
so as to prevent the publication Of
misleading data used to manipulate
the market.
