THE HERALD, ALGIERS. LOUISIANA

bency the Federal fleet ran the forts
st. Philip and Jackson and took New
| Orleans in 1862. Mr.. Holmes had
small cannon, and when the fleet ap-
peared trained 1t on them, but as
they turned the point Holmes left the
cannon to its own fate.
The frame was closed in and rooms
built on the ground floor, the second
| floor being used as a meeting place
for the carpenters and caulkers, and
also by the volunteer firemen, who
organized a brass band and would
practice there.
Mrs. Thos. Mccormack was given
home here and kept the hall clean
and was paid as the "Bellfry" tender
The tropical storm of 1915 demol-
ished the frame, and the bell of our
sketch fell and remained in the deb
ris, until resurrected by Mr.. Wied-
man and Mr.. Arthur Kulp. 1t was
through the good work, especially of
Mr.. Kulp, who obtained signatures of
all the old timers and of the younger
generation to relinquish all right to
this bell and made a donation to the
M. E. Church.
At the time the frame was closed
in, the mechanics worked on it dur
ing spare time, and Mr.. Peter Fink,
who owned the saw mill, donated
the necessary lumber.
Mr.. Wiedman, as the Oldest sur
viving member, cleared away the deb
ris after the storm, he being the last
of the old timers who worked in the
frame.
Much more could be said If lines
were followed as given by those in
terviewed, as there is much OF human
interest in the history Of Algiers that
has never been chronicled. Here are
found the best mechanics, the peers
of any in their respective lines; here
we have people like one family that
the joys of one are the happiness of
the other and whose ills, if any. are
borne by all.
In the days of the SOS and Sos the
old bell called the mechanics to labor
at 700 a. m, told them of the time
for refreshments, set them to labor
at 100 p. m, to inform them in Vi
brant tones taht the days work was
well done and time had come to re-
turn to the bosom of their homes to
seek repose to prepare for the next
days service. Those were the days
that every mechanic took the utmost
pride in his work. and to the true
craftsmen of that day time was an
essential that seemed too short to
enable him to accomplish as much |
as he desired; this characteristic |
being quite different from the atti-
tude of the present day in many
quarters.
In time of danger from fire
and stress of high water the old
bell gave the alarm so that |
the citizens could answer, and it
seems but meet that, having been re-
dedicated to the service of the Lord, |
it should proclaim the church SER
vices for those who work in the SER
vice of God and in our minds and
hearts feel IT say:
LET all bitterness, and wrath. and
anger, and Glamour. and evil speak
ing. be put away from you, with all
malice; andbe We kind to one anoth-
er, tender hearted, forgiving one
another, even as God for Christ's
sake hath forgiven you"
Ephesians 4.31.32.

of Sport

In view of the fact that George
Washington was a recognized horse
man and enthusiast of racing it was
altogether fitting and proper that
the 1S9th anniversary Of the birth Of
The Father of Our Country" should
be made a double celebration by
the Lyndonville Driving Club. And 50
it was. The birthday of the famous
Revolutionary leader was observed by
conducting the wind-up races of the
season on the track in Lyndonvillc in
the afternoon and the holding Of the
18th annual banquet of the associa-
ton in the evening.
A crowd estimated at more than
500 persons, lined both sides Of the
quarter mile speedway, craning their
necks for two solid hours in an cf-
fort to avoid missing anything 1t was

be proud Of z. S. b. and he might
