200 ATTEND BIG
WEDDING SUNDAY

1t was estimated that two hundred
relatives and friends attended the
marriage of John Newman to Miss
Wadda Haik, which was solemnized
lat the home of the groom's parents
on Pleasant Hill last Sunday morn
ing. McCarous SHY, a Greek priest
of Vicksburg, Miss, officiated.
Following the marriage, a wedding
feast was served. An orchestra was
on hand to furnish music and it was
noon before the crowd began to de-
part. One of the features of the
wedding feast was a ten-layer cake
IL inches in diameter.
The bride is the daughter of NJ. n.
Haik, the Pleasant Hill furniture
dealer, and the groom is the son Of
NJ. Newman, the we'll known Pleasant
Hill merchant.
A number of out-of-town relatives
were in attedance at the wedding.
The couple have gone to house
keeping on Pleasant Hill.

Perhaps one of the most snowy
and colorful features of the Fourth
of July celebration, to be staged here
under the direction of the American
Legion, will be the automobile fash
ion show. This feature will be part
Of the big parade which vii! officially
inaugurate the day. Splendid rrizes
have been offered by the business
men and automobile dealers. J. B.
Purvis has covered himself with glory
in the solicitation of these prizes and
the loyal business men of Bogaiusa
have given fresh and convincing tes-
timony of their civic devotion and lib
crafty. Flashing Bucks, scintillat-
ing Studebakers, graceful Washes,
proud Hudsons, nobby little For6s
and other cars, beauties ALL each pl-
loted by Milady, gorgeous in her fin
cry, adding her own sparkling beauty
to the brilliance of the whole, will
meet in sternest competition.
Have you entered your car? If
not, don't delay. The spectacle will
be one not soon to be forgotten.
With full entry list, Bogalusa will
do herself proud on this day. What
delight to the lover of motor cars!
What pleasing sight to the spacta-
tori Envisage this sight: Two full
troops of cavalry, with flashing sa-
bers and prancing steeds. column
of Legionaires, most of them in the
uniform venerated by the whole
world: gray-haired veterans of the
grim struggle of 81; stern defenders
of the flag in '98; out city fathers
and our distinguished citizens, and
finally an array of beautiful auto
mobiles in parade, piloted by fair
drivers who will furnish final proof
that Bogalusa is not improperly
called "the city Of beautiful women"

Policemen Are Human;
This Story Is Proof

People, as a rule, ever hesitate to
criticize members of the police de-
partment, but on last. Saturday even
ing the writer observed an act by a
policeman that will be long remem-
bered by a certain youth of Boga-
lusa.
When the officer was making his
rounds at the Magic City Theater,
he found several boys outside. All
but one entered the show or left the
place. The policeman asked the lit
tie fellow what was delaying him.
The boy stated he wanted to see the
show, but had only five cents, where
upon the policeman put up the other
nickel and the boy turned from tears
to smiles, entered the show and likely
will remember the good turn for
years.
1t is such acts as these that show
the merits of an officer and likewise
will cause the youth to have respect
for the police and the laws.

Birthday Party On Banks
Of Bogue Lusa Creek

Perhaps one Of the most unique
of this years birthday parties was
the one on last Friday when little
George, son of Mr.. and Mrs. E. F.
Savers, together with twenty invited
guests, were given an exceptionally
rare surprise when they were car
ried to the banks of Bogue Lusa
creek for an outing.
With natures own decorations and
a supply Of good eats, soon they were
enjoying a real picnic, but the real
fun did not begin until the beauti-
full birthday cake was placed before
them, topped with five pink candles
all aglow. To the youngsters this
was the most interesting moment.
After each had his turn blowing out
candles the lovely cake was cut.
The remainder of the afternoon
was enjoyed in romping and playing
games.
Mrs. Haynes Lea and daughter,
Marie. assisted the hostess in enter
tanning the little folk.

City Radiophone
Is Now Installed

One of The most modern radio
phones manufactured, which will en-
able the citizens of Bogalusa to hear
concerts from any part of the United
States, has arrived in B&gsiusas and
is now installed at the CITY Hall.
Walter Leahy, licensed operator, con-
nected the machine Tuesday night.
The radio set has been sent here for
demonstration and if the city desires
to retain it, they may dosao.
The plan is to have the connections
made so that it can be used st the
City Hall, Goodyear Park or IN the
High School Auditorium. Il has
q large amplifier which will make it
possible to entertain large crowds.
Due to atmospheric conditions,
technically known as stats, the radio
phones are not successfully operated
in the summer months, but on cool,
clear nights in the fall and winter
they work almost any distance.
This makes the third radiophone to
be installed in Bogalusa, Walter
Leahy having one and ]. H. Friend
recently installed one in his home.
Mr.. Leahy has orders for several
sets, which he will deliver before the
radio season opens,

MELONS ARE BEING
SHIPPED BY CARLOAD

Judging from the number of mel
Ons which have been shipped from
B6galusa and Washington parish
during the past few days, and reports
of farmers as to future shipments,
the recent heavy rains did not dam
age the crop to any great extent.
The first shipment was made from
Isabel and iona last FRIDAY, when a
car was loaded with 1912 fine water
melons. Buyers were on the ground
to bid for the first shipment.
The first shipping day will be long
remembered, for farmers came in
large numbers, railroad officials were
present, also newspaper men. If the
melon crop is a success this year,
there is no question but what the
acreage will be greatly increased
next year.
It is expected the shipments from
this vicinity will not be less than 500
carloads, and may possibly reach the
figures announced several weeks
ago, when the. crop was estimated at
700 carloads.

Want Varnado Road
Made Model Highway

A letter to Mayor Sullivan, as pres
ident of the Chamber of Commerce,
from a number of prominent resi-
dents of Angie, asking that the citi-
zens of Bogalusa cooperate in max
ing a good road from BOgalusa to
Varnado, was presented to the Com
mission Council.
Mayor Sullivan appointed a com
mittee, composed of J. B. Lindsey
and J. P. Starns, to meet with the
committee from Varnado and see
what could be done
There is considerable business be-
tween the two towns, but the roads
in rainy weather are such that traffic
is anything but pleasant. If good
roads existed between the two towns
it is believed it would benefit both
communities.

Talley and Commissioners. E. R. Cas-
sidy and J. B. Lindsey, who were ap-
pointed to try and persuade Judge C.
Ellis OFT to reconsider retiring from
the bench of the City Court when his
term expires next year, reported that
Judge OFT has agreed to serve for the
present.
In the event that Judge OFT resigns
there is no one eligible for the i'm

BOgalusa Citizens
Would Repair Swamp
Road at Own Expense

The condition of the swamp road,
just across the river from BOgalusa,
is in such bad condition that it is
bringing complaints and all sorts of
criticism, and now the citizens of b.
galusa have agreed to repair it at
their own expense.
The fact that the road is in Mis-
sissippi, and just how the residents
of that section would feel about such
action, is a matter to be considered.
Pearl River county and Washington
parish have gone to the expense of
building one of the finest bridges in
the country to span Pearl river, but
due to the fact that the swamp road
on the Mississippi side has never been
properly built, few rains makes it
impossible.
1t is said that on last Friday there
were seven cars stuck in the swamp
at one time. Another report had it
that there were fourteen tourists at
Poplarville ready to turn back and
seek another route to New Orleans
on account of the swamp.
The approach leading to the Pearl
river bridge is practically completed.
This cuts off most of the bad road.
H. B. Buck, engineer in charge,
states that in three or four days a
road can be built from the bridge to
the old road. Those who claim to
know road building, state that within
"a hours, the old road can be placed
in such condition as to be passable
at all times. Why the work is being
delayed, preventing the taxpayers
from enjoying the improvements, is
a matter that is now attracting much

CITYS EXPENSES
MUST BE REDUCED

At the May session of the Com
mission Council Mayor Sullivan said
it would be necessary to reduce the
city's expenditures, but at the meet
ing of the, Commission Council held
Monday afternoon, City Clerk. Bean
announced that the assessments Of
property in Bogalusa had been re-
duced between 300, 900 and $780,
900, which will result in the city's
revenue being considerably reduced.
Mayor Sullivan stated that he, or
some one, had "been asleep" for the
assessment Of the Great Southern
Lumber Company has not been re-
duced.

May Be
Great Cattle Market

One of the biggest opportunities
for BOgalusa to become a big cattle
market center and, incidentally, to
bring few hundred thousand dollars
to the farmers of this and adjoining
parishes each year, now confronts
Bogalusa. Few citizens realize that
cattle cannot now be shipped from
Washington or adjoining parishes,
due to quarantine being placed
against this section because of fail
ure to comply with the dipping law.
A number of farmers have always
opposed the dipping law, not only in
this, but adjoining parishes. Per-
mission can be secured to ship meat,
but not the live cattle.
If BOgalusa would make a strenu-
Gus effort, it is believed a large
slaughter house could be erected here
and not only would it give the farmer
a market for his stock, but in would
result in bringing farmers here from
st. Tammany, Tangipahoa, Living
ston, Pearl River, Marian and Wal
thall counties in Mississippi. The
cattle could be driven to this city,
which would make this a great ship
ping center.
1t is stated that large cattle rails
ers see in this plan the only solution
of selling their stock A ready mar
ket would wait their produc and in
many ways it would bring added
prosperity to this community. It is
said no difficulty would be expert
enced in financial the proposition, as
the stock would be taken by several
prominent men in each community.
It is also rumored that several towns
in this section want to locate the in
dustry, but that Bogalusa appears to
be the logical place.

Fire Damage Great
AtBi-Pr oducts Plant

The plant of the Bogalusa BIZ
Products Company was damaged to
the extent of $4,000 at II O'Clock
Tuesday night. Only the prompt re-
Spouse and efficient work of the To-
cal fire department saved the plant
from total loss. The fire, is is said,
was caused by dome over one of
the big retOrts caving in.
The plant is located more than a
mile from the fire station, but the
department made a record run and
connected their lines with a pond at
the plant and confined the blaze to
the building in which it started.
The loss is. covered by insurance,
but it will require about thirty days
to put the plant in operation again.

the company.

BogaIusa Farmers
Attract Attention

The following from the Cincinnati
Packer, the leading publication of the
fruit-growing industry, has the fol
lowing to say, under a BOgalusa date
line, of the activity of the farmers of
this section and what they are ac-
complishing:
''The farmers of Washington par
ish are showing a decided increase in
farming activities this year, and re.
suits up to date are gratifying. Sew
eral carloads of beans have been
shipped from BOgalusa to Eastern
markets and the returns were above
the average. Two cars of cabbage
shipped sold readily. All indications
point to a successful season for wa
termelons. The New Orleans Great
Northern Railroad has all prepara-
tions made to handle over TOO cars
Of melons, which movement will be-
gin about June Is. Most of these
melons will be sold t. 0. b. Bogalusa,
La, as the melon growers are repre-
sented by sales agents office es-
tablished here.
"a group of railroad officials; rep
.resentatives of the state and govern
ment agricultural departments and
experienced growers and shippers
from Georgia have recently COM
pleted a tour of the farming section
of the parish and all crops are well
advanced. There will be more cot
ton, corn and hay produced along this
line this year than during the past
five years. The watermelon acreage.
around 1900 acres, is being grown
under the supervision of experienced
leaders, and every grower has fol-
lowed instructions as to planting,
spraying, thinning and pruning, and
all will follow instructions in grad
ing and treating melons to prevent
stem-end rot disease. Growers will
label all melons shipped.
"The canning factory recently COM
pleted at Bogalusa has been OperaC-
ing for several weeks now and put
ting out over 5000 cans of beans
daily, this crop to be followed by
canning of blackberries, then sweet
potatoes and sugar-cane syrup. The
first carload of canned beans was
sold last week.
The woOl-pool this year will be the
largest ever held. Over 100000
pounds will be sold in one pool sale
at Bogalusa on June 20. This wool
will be stored and moved from Cow
ington, Frankhnton and Bogalusa.
From these accomplishments ev-
cry evidence points that Washinton
parish will shortly convert her cut
over lands into productive, fertile
and rich farm lands, and daily invest
merits in cut-over lands are being
made.
'The New Orleans Great Northern
Railroad feels the Importance of this
and has been cooperating
to its fullest extent. The movement
of farm products this year will treble
the tonnage of the past years, and
this fact, along with the modern i'm
indicates the era of a
rural section for that par
ish."
