New Auto Repair Shop.

Richardson Auto Repair and Paint
Shop is the name of new enter
prise which opened its doors In this
city last Monday. The new con-
Germ is located in the two-story build
ing, in Railroad avenue, formerly
used as city market: Jack Rich.
ardson, the expert mechanlclan OF
this city, is proprietor of the shop
and he will be Joined later by his
brother, Hunter Richardson of High
Point, N. c., who is a finished paint
er, and who will have charge Of the
painting department. Mr.. Richard
son reports that since the opening of
his establishment he has been crowd
ed with auto repair work, requiring
him to keep on the job night and day
in order to accommodate his custo-
mers. He is a son-in-laW of Henry
Buquoi of this city and is a finished
auto mechanic, steady, reliable and
trustworthy and it is needless to say
that his enterprise will prove a sue
cess from the very start. The build
ing in which he is located is well
adapted for such a business, and a
better location could not have been
secured. Hunter Richardson is said
to be a skilled painter, with few
equals in his line, and the depart
ment under his charge will prove a
valuable acquisition to the mechanl-
cal end of the business. The Chief
wishes Mr.. Richardson much success
in his business venture.

"Fool's Paradise

The above is the title of Won
derful photoplay to be shown at the
Grand Theatre next Tuesday. Film
ed with careful attention to detail,
this is unquestionably one of the best
productions ever made by Mr.. De
Mile and it no less pretentious than
''The Affairs of Anatol," ''Forbid-
den Fruit or any of its recent pre-
decessors. Mr.. De Miles thorough
artistry as producer is seen in every
"shot" of this captivating screen
romance. The story suggested by
Leonard Merrick's "The Laurels and
the Lady," was adapted with taste
and skill by Beulah Marie Dix and
Sada Cowan. The theme is one of
intense heart appeal and the various
scenes which take one from France
to Mexico and thence to Siam, with
their Kaleidoscope views, are beauti-
full in the extreme. The leading
roles are excellently portrayed by
Dorothy Dalton, Mildred Harris, Con-
rad Nagel, Theodore Kosloff, John
Davidson and Julia Faye. The pic
ture is one that will please every
lover of the beautiful, lofty and ar
tistic in ,tAa silent drama, and it
leaves little to be desired by the
most blase picture fan.

PITT THE MIGRANTS TO WORK

PUT THE WARRANTS TO NoKh
Attention was called in last week S
Chief to the presence IN this
city of number Of lolterers,
warrants and gamblers, able-bodied
men, fully capable of doing an
honest days work, who spend thelf
time hanging about street corners
waiting for their prey, and the Sug-
gestion was made that these 1nd1Vl-
duals be taken up as Migrants and
put to work cutting weeds.
Men of that class and character
are not only undesirable citizens but
are a real menace to the peace and
a disturbing element to the well beng
Of community and there is no room
for such in the peaceful town of
Donaldsonville. Such individuals
should be forced to do honest toll
for their bread or be driven out OF
town. If there is no law applicable
! to their case the. council should
promtly pass an ordinance defining
vagrancy and providing that all
able-bodied men who have no legitl-
mate occupation, be put to work
cleaning bitches or cutting grass or
be lodged in Jail until they make up
their minds to "seek fields green and
pastures new"
The cities of Monroe, Lake Charles
and Crowley recently adopted ordi-
nances on the subject and in each
place the law is said to work admir-
ably and satisfactorily, and there is
no reason why such measure, prop
erly enforca .fs1Gsssss;i;lsla not prove equal,
,ly efficacious n Donaldsonville and
result in Kidding the town of these
undesirable characters.
