Every thing is very qniet now, we suppose it is the calm that precedes the storm which will strike in full force in about twenty days when Christmas, Santa Claus and white lightning will hold forth. We had hoped to see in time when the latter would be dethroned but it seems a far off possibility, A letter from Presiding Elder Lee, of the Baton rouge Distriot, ,Methodist church, states that the Franklinton oircuit of' which Mt. Hermon is a post will be supplied by Rev. A. L. McQueen, a trans. fer from the Arkansas conference and will.soon be on hand to be. gin the work. " The Mt. liermon school .will give a bonfire box supper next Saturday night. It will be staged in tents near the school house. Many other leatures oL interest will be produced, so come to the r testal board daturday night, for 1 bright eyed beauties will be there. S Come with your purse stuffed - tight and buy the box of your ) lady fair. It ij giveli in the in terest of the athletic club. Leland, C Homes Help Community. A wealthy Englishman once said B that a good home was an institution for civilizing a community, and in stead of surrounding his own home b7 a high hedge, -like many in the idcln r. ity, he built about it an open fence, e so'that whoever passed, rich or poor, might .enjoyj the beauty of house and lawn and garden.

PA88.A-LOUTRE HUNTING GROUNDS New Orleans.-The Pass-a-Loutre Public Ilurrting Grounds, opened Nov. 1, have already demonstrated the wis dom of the Louisiana Department of Cciservation in dedicating this Ira men!se tract of marsh fand to the rec reation and pleasure of citizens okthe State who are enamored of out nt.,r life and the sport of the gun. Hunmers returning after the first week were enthusiastic in respect of the acc!m ncdations furnished in the lodge pro. vided for those hunters who do not I wish to look out for themseives. The lodge is mosquito and storm proof anid has accommodations for twenity'guests, the charge being a nominal one, to cover cost only. Reservation for quarters in this lodge must be made in advance, to prevent overcrowding, and to assure the comfort of those who have quarters there. The grounds are open to any one having a hunting license and stopping at the lodge is entirely optional, though all hunters who use the tract of 60,000 acres must register there before beginning the hunt. PROSPEROUS TRAPPING SEASON IS INDICATED New Orleans.-TPhe fur trapping season in Louisiana opened Nov. 1, and reports to the Department of Con. aervation indicate that the season will be a prosperous one. The value of the annual yield of furs in the State is about $3,500,000, and there is no reason to believe the sum realized this year will fall below that figure. Rac coon and muskrat furnish the bulk of this sum, with mink a bad third. Opossum, skunk and the other vari. eties of furs do not go far to swell the total. One trapper in Tanglpahoa Parisb last season marketed in the season $3,340 worth of pelts--the raising of which did not cost him a penny. His only investment wae'.the traps he al. ready had on hand, and yet he took in $1,100 a month, which he oould not have realized in any other business, even though he had considerable capi. tal invested in it., This was an excep. tional case, to be sure, but there were other trappers who did as well or nearly as well. WHAT A HUNTER MAY GET FOR ONE DOLLAR New Orleans..--Dhe regular hunting season in Louisiana began Nov. 1 &nd will continue for three months. For two or three weeks now sportsmen have been oiling their guns, laying in supplies of ammunition and food and patching up their pirogues, 'but few of them have thought what the State, through the Conservation Department, offers them for the one dollar license they pay for the privilege of hunting. If the sportsman takes full advantage of the opportunities offered him by the department, he can not only pro vide food during the open season for his family, but for the families of a oumber of his friends. Stated briefly, he will be permitted to kill, during the three months 11,958 birds, 1,155 squirrels, five deer and an unlimited number of rabbits and bear. True, the department does not guarantee that he will get all of this game for the dollar 4lcense he pays the State, but it opens the opportunity for him and leaves the issue tb his skill and activity. This is what he may kill during the 92 days of the hunting season: Rab. bits, bears and alligatore, an unlimited number; deer, i a day, -6 a seasons squirrels, 18 a day; geese, 8 £ dayf ducks, 25; poule d'sau, gallinules and marsh 'hens, 26 altogether; snipe, 26; yellow legs and plover, fS altogether; :rkeys, 1; quail, 15. The open season 'or turkeys and quail begins Nov. 1.: This list does not take account of the outlaw animals and birds which may be slaughtered at any time, and which include sueh sporting propositions as the fox, wolf, wildcat and panther. WILD tURKEYS ARK RAISED ON FARM Bains, La.--Edward Butler of this place has been experimenting with the raising of wild turkeys on ias farl, and has made a report to the Oonservation Department of the State that this season's hatch was good. with no loss from disease. Such losses as Mr. Butler suffered were from the natural. enemies of poultry, principally the horned owl, and once his plane to cheek this preying on his flocks are developen, he anticipates no further trouble. Mr. Butler has found much pleasure in raising these wild turkeys and they have caused him no trouble. He has endeavored to raise them under conditions analogpous tW those in the wild state, which proba* bly atcounts for the abseatce of die ease in his flook. One or two of his broods have rOverted to the wild state entirely and are rarely seen aromnd the farm. Bopie of the futter £tock has been distributed in the parishes of West Felici~an and last Baton Roluge, and he has other surplus stock on handi Wild turkeys have been Cuocessfully raised in different parts of the coun try, but generally on so large a scale that the average farmr could not follow, and probably with consider. able capital back of the experiment, most of the propagating liens being located on large club reserves: but Mr..1utler has demonstrated that the turkeys can be raised on the average farm. The Conservtibon Department. is mauch interested in the propagation of this bird, and will co-oDprate with reliable persons who desire a lfih~ianPs which promises much pletsult and aetloretel profitable hpSlueaSa - w dUse !
