THEY WON

Mrs. Nc Donald and Mrs. H. E. Wer-
ner are some salesladies. When asked
to save the day in contest which had
fallen flatly because of certain prom
ises that were broken, these ladies went
out to conquer Leesville for the honor
of the church they belong TO, and with
that spirit they won. and won hands
down. 1t was for subscriptions for a
certain magazine, and there had been
an agreement that if they took 100 subs
within a stated time, there would be a
reward for the work, the said reward
to go to the church. The thing had
fallen flatly, and in desperation they
asked these two "warriors" to take the
field. They took it, and came back
with the $$$$$.

BOOTLEGGERS ARE MEET
ING THEIR WATERLOO

Sheriff Turner is having his hands
full these days, as large number Of
criminal cases are to be tried at the
Vernon Parish Court House next week,
and Mr.. Turner and his deputies who
made the respective arrests will have
to give their testimony according to the
facts as they found them. There are
from thirty to forty alleged moon
sinners" all of whose joints and stills
were discovered by the ever-vigilant
eyes of the trusty men in the Sheriff's
office, and they Indignantly deny that
the Parish, particularly Leesville, is ov-
errun with "boozcrs" and smuggIers of
intoxicants. The records at the Sher-
iff's office, moreover, show that dur
ing Mr.. Turner's entire term of office,
every moonshiner arrested in the par
ish has been duly convicted and pun
ished. Not one has ever escaped. The
Grand Jury will be busy with taking
evidence against an additional number
of violators Of the Prohibition law,
which has never been enforced as rig
idly as it is now by the present Sheriff
and his deputies.

green imaginable.

BRONCHO BUSTING

An amusing incident took place op-
posite the depot Thursday evening.
there was to have been a certain ex-
hibition of broncho busting on an open
lot there, where real bad horses were
to be tanned to the minute, and it was
advertised as free. Quite a crowd ga
thered to see the sport, and after some
time the buster" arrived and gave
a short talk which really consisted in
the information that they were from
Texas. This was repeated so often
that no one would ever have been
guilty of going away from the place
with any other information as to the
original abiding place of the busters.
A collection was taken, and a mule
that had hard time trying to show
how tough he was came forth with the
buster" on his back, busted few
times, and then another 'speel" was
In order, another collection was in Or
der and another mule came forth.
snorted a few minutes, and then an
other collection. This time the "speeI"
was about our own "Slim," who was
to do some bucking on a dark-eyed
creature that looked like horse made
for funeral cortage. Slim mounted
and rode away like a warrior amid the
jeers of the crowd, soon reappearing
still on the fierce charger. But no
bucking, SO far. Then Slim got mad
and gave the animal a shot with his
spurs. Then the real bucking came.
But it was short lived, as the horse
shot away through the alley and dis
up the street.

ed down to the present incumbent, Hon.
Oscar E. Morris, and Dr.. ]. F. Smith,
both of whom are sanguine of success
at the polls on Tuesday, April llth.
The canvass of the two candidates is
progressing quite lively, although not
boisterously, nor attended by any spec
tacular features. People just talk,
some praising the Mayor and his bus
iness-like work as the executive head
of the Leesville municipality; while
others, advocating the election of Doc
tor Smith, advance the argument that
their candidates ought to be given a
show" 1t is admitted on both sides
that the two candidates are equally
capable, straightforward and deserv-
ing of success, a fact which will pro-
badly result in small majority of the
votes for the winner.
The candidates for City Marshall,
Mr.. B. o. Craft for reelection, Mr..
Abe L. Allen and MI. John Scalfe, are
running" with public interest center
ed upon one of them who has been at
tackled on account of his theological
views, those favoring either of his OPP
ponents having insinuated that he is
not Christian method of poll
tics that ought to be obsolete in these
our enlightened times. The religious
beliefs of City Marshall cannot pos
sibly affect the performance of his pub
lie duties and the friends of the man
thus attacked are perfectly logical
when they point out that their candi-
date has been brave soldier, who
won distinction and honors on the fir
ing line, record which ought to be
convincing as far as the qualities for
making this man an efficient police Of
tlcial are concerned.
