Little Elise. the five year old
daughter Of Mr.. ard Mrs. Will
Abrams, Of st. Joseph, on last Mon
day afternoon suddenly and unex-
pected developed . most acute form
Of appendicitis, AMI shrieked with
pain. Dr.. Whitaker was Immediately
called In and he at once diagnosed
the case - appendicitis Of acute
nature and advised that the child be
taken to Matches for. operation at
once, which was dons, the parents
carrying the little pst'eh. down on
the Percy Swain the same evening.
Happily the boat came early and
landed at the levee (fos the last
time during the high water) ard got
irto Matches shortly after midnight.
Going at once to the Natchez San,-
tarium, where reservation had been
secured by phone, examination was
made by Dr.. Beekman, who decided
best to operats ut once, and ac-
cordingly the operation was per-
formed about 2 o'clock scarcely ten
hours after seizure. The little
lady stood the ordeal beautifully and
has since improved steadily. The APP
pendix was found 90 greatly In
volved that sloughing was immipsnt
and it ID hardly probable that the
child could have lived had the oper-
alton been deferred to any consider-
able time. Much relief was felt among
our psople when the good news came
Of the turn for better and greatest
anxiety was entertained in the mean
time. Little Elise i . very bright
and lovahle little girl and d quite .

other two children b the idol Of

PUBLIC THANKSGIVING SER.
VICE At TALLULAH JUNE
18th.

held at the Court House square at
TalIulah on Wednesday, June 14th,
to which all white citizens Of East
Carroll, Madison and Tensas are in
vitsd. The purpose Of this service is
to return thanks to God for deliver
ance from the flood waters OF the
Mississippi which 90 direly threatened
US during the last so days.
We are specially pleased to OBJ
serve this very meritorious action on
the part Of our sister parish, and
in It we think we see the fine but
ever active hand of our former
Methodist pastor, Rev. R. F. Harreli'
now stationed there. who Is ever the
man on the job, be it sickness or
health, fire or water, life or death.
The Gazette has, issue after issue,
suggested the identical program, but
not one echo of endorsement have
we ever heard from any citizen q
Tensas parish. We know our peops
are all God-fearing and are all thank
full to Him for deliverance from this
great flood, but, we repeat, from
trade or profession, platform or pulpit
there has not come to US on word OF
even casual notice Of the suggestion
Of Thanksgiving services made in these
columns. We are the: .fofe glad that
another parish at least has been
moved by the call Of conscience to
make public Acknowledgement to the
Giver Of every good and perfect gift
for His mercy shown us in the hour
Of peril. Tensas should not prove
recreant to duty or unappreciative OF
blessings. Many Of our people perhaps
who have cars, can attend this service
at Tallulah-we hope many viii go ny
but the majority do not possess this
advantage. Happily rail facilities Of.
fer Q convenient schedule to those
who have not cars but there are
probably many who have not time
or money to 60 away from home
For benefit Of those who cannot &c
to Tallulah there should be thanks
giving service held in practically
all churches in this entire parish.
Napoleon once said "The God Of
Battles Is generally on the side Of
the heaviest battalion" But had not
the Corsican- possessed the heaviest
battalion defeat instead Of victory
might have been his portion. We
appreciate the fact fully that the
Lord helps those who help themselves,
and had we sat supinely down during
the late flood and depended entirely
on Heavenly deliverance it is quite
probable that We would have had .
good ducking. But we should be
thankful that our rank and file
possess brains and Drawn and val
or, aided by friendly influence
among those higher in authority, and
above all happily blessed with not
insufficient supply Of "sinews Of
war;" by aid Of all which we were
able to do our part. But we want
to impress on our people that no mat
ter how active and intelligent we
may be, and how fortunate we
were in possession Of men and
material to make q high water
fight, the victory would not
have been humanity possible had we
not been blessed at same time with
good weather. Had stormy and rainy
weather prevailed. despite every ef-
fort on our part it would have been
"Good Nightw Let u not forget
this.

LEST WE FORGET

Only a very, very few years ago, so near is the time that it
seems only a few days, there was sounded the call for enistments
of young Americans to fight the battles of the nation. Those who
enlisted then were hailed as heroes. Then came the draft, the train
ing camps, the preiminaries for active service for some, the readi-
ness for activity of others. Every man who wore a uniform was a
hero, a youth to be praised and feted and to be told that his coun-
try and its people would never forget. And the youth believed what
was said.
But the memories of some are short lived and to the "herOes'
of yesterday there has come establishment. Some of them in these
days are pessmistic, more of them mere cynicS and some smile in
good natured tolerance at the shOrnesS of human memory.
The American Legion of today is composed of those young men
who answered the nations call in time of need. They are no worse
than they were in those days, probably most of them are better. They
have asked no reward for what they did or were willing to do; they
simply returned to their former avocations but they brought back
with them, in many instances, higher ideals.
When the dogs of war howled those soldier boys were given to
understand they had the community support and the support of its
every member. Surely today, their organization is entitled to a pub
lie favor not to be accorded to any other.
Soon Maui Post of the American Legion will hold a dance the
proceeds to be used to defray the costs of membership in the national
organization. Maui Legion has asked little in the past. Two years
ago it held such a dance but last year it was host to the public. The
Legion is an organization in which every man and every woman in
every community in these United States may well take the same
pride as it and she did i'll "hs hero sons" of the war days.

DANGER OF RUMoR SPREADING

In a southwestern city there was published the story of the fail
ue of a bank in a sister city only a score of miles away under the
head of "SecOnd National Bank Fails 1t happened there was a
Second National Bank in that city as well as the other the two in
no way connected. Within the hour the newspaper had a special
edition on the street and in the morning paper it ran a page adver-
tisement explaining the result. Fortunately the publication came
out too late to start a run on the bank that afternoon and the dam
age could be corrected to a large extent, but the safe and sound bank
suffered some loss of business.
In the + Honolulu Advertiser of Friday there appeared an editorial
entitled "The RumOr Factory" telling of the spread of a report there
that one of HonOlulu's largest business concerns had suffered a de-
falcatiOn of a million and a half dollars and that the story was about
to break. The Advertiser decries the mongering Of such rumors.
The fair name of a business house is as vital to it as is the fair
name of an individual To each it is the most valued possession and
yet there are those who play fast and loose with such treasures of
others through idle gossip. Homes have been broken up by "a care
less word or mean inuendo that has passed ON, growing with its
progress, from lip to ear and ear to lip again. Many is the business
house that might have weathered storms had not idle gossip been
spread. Idle tongues do much more mischief than do idle hands and
no "Satan' is necessary to find the mischief for such idle tongues
to do.
Refraning from gossip is often called a virtue but it is such in
a sense only, it is the contrast to the vice of gossiping. 1t is the
bounden duty of a person to his or her neighbor, of an individual
to any business concern to make sure of the truth of any story be-
fore passing it on to another, In most instances of gossiping and
scandal mongering there is no vicious intent but the mischief that
may result is in no wise diminished and the injury offered is just as
serious.
