Max Wilson With
Stores Co. ) Years

Max Wilson, genial manager of the
BogaIusa Stores Company, was the
recipient of many sincere and hearty
congratulations last week when he
celebrated his fifth anniversary with
that company. Coming here five
years ago from Brookhaven, Miss,
where he had spent most of his life
in the mercantile business, he was
placed in charge of the dress goods
department. His ability was quickly
recognized and it was not long until
he became general manager of one of
the largest stores in this section of
Mississippi or Louisiana.
Since the time when Mr.. Wilson
took the management of the Bogalusa
Stores Company, the business has
grown steadily. 1t required hard
work, perseverance and study to build
the business to the position it enjoys
today, and it is not all due to his
mercantile ability, but also to his af-
fable disposition. You may have a
speaking acquaintance with Mr.. Will
son, but once you know him, you will
admit that Bogalusa has no citizen
who has a more pleasing personality.
The policy and discipline which he
has built at the Bogalusa Stores Co.
would be a credit to any Of the best
establishments of the country.
Mr.. Wilson has been ably assisted
in the great success of the Bogalusa
Stores Company by N. D. OFT.
Mr.. OFT does much of the buy
ing, is one of the unassuming, hard
and conscientious gentlemen,
who has made Mr.. Wilson and ideal

PECULIAR KILLING
IN POPLAR QUARTERS

Police have been unable to learn
who fired the mysterious shot in Pop
lar Quarters about 9 o'clock Satur-
day night that resulted in the death
of Henry Haines, a negro. From the
report received by the police several
negroes were gambling in a vacant
house near the city limits in Poplar
Quarters when some one on the out
side fired highpowered weapon. The
bullet struck Haines in the hip and
came out near the groin, severing a
blood vessel.
Haines ran from the building and
was later found by other negroes, but
he died about midnight.
It is the opinion of the police that
the shot was fired to brighten those
who were gambling in the building
and the shot happened to strike
Haines.

Making Good Cotton Crop.
w. Wallace Harris.

A good cotton crop in spite OF the
boil weevil is the record of T. Nor
wood Graham of the Hodges section
of the county. Nh. Graham has just
finished picking over six acres Of
cotton one time and he ginned one
bale. He thinks he will get four
more bales from the same tract.
The weevil infestation in that Sec
ton was bad but Mr.. Graham began
early and fought late with m~olasses
and calcium arsenate. The weevils
got the top crop, he says, but the
first fruit was not seriously damag-
ed. Mr.. Graham believes that cotton
can be grown under boil weevil con-
ditions, if the pest is fought INTEL
igently.-Index journal.
