In another part of this paper It will be seen that the Methodist ladies are planning a lawn party and sale for October 6, for the purpose of raising funds to pay for work and material in stopping the caving of the bluff in the rear of the church property. The land there is washing badly,-and the ladies have the laudable purpose of arresting the trouble. It is proposed to put in timbers to hold the earth, and then put a shed over it. Sympathy is felt with Mr. Kirtland Douglas and his sister and brothers in the death of their maternal grand mother, Mrs. W. L. Carlin of Alexan dria, La. She came of a fine old North Carolina family and had a personality so gentle and sweet that to know her was to love her. She has been in delicate health for a number of years but the end was sudden and unexpected. Mayor J. H. Logan has received a letter from the Mississippi River Com mission asking for details about the length of the levee around Bayou Sara, what is needed to put it in shape, finances of the town, etc., all of which lead to the hope that something will be done by the Commission for the protection of the town from floods. The Time: Thursday, October 7th. The Place: Old Bank Building. The Occasion: Opening of Bank of Commerce. Arrange your affairs so as'to transfer 1your bank account to a home institu tion. Rev. Mr. Skardon, rector of Grace SChurch, has begun the publication of tthe Grace Church Monthly, the Octo ber number being the first. It will be a small four-page sheet, but will con tain news and notices of interest to members of the congregation, - +-----*-- There is no trubth in the rumor that the parish schools will not open till the middle of October. They will open Oct. 4. On Oct. 1-2 a two days' insti ! tute will be held for the teachers, and . they will therefore begin arriving on Thursday. When you criticize The True Demo crat for the omission of some item of news that you are personally interested in, you certainly do not know that we are more anxious to get any item of tl public interest than you can possibly f be to see it in print. That is our busi ness, and all news of a legitimate char- D acter looks alike to us. We play no favorites. Your item was omitted be cause-not being omniscient-we did a not know about it, and no one re= h ported it to us. Therefore instead of fi blaming us, blame your friends who je apparently did not consider your item p of sufficient interest to report it, or at best, upon whom the news in question did not make sufficient imliression forb: them to remember to report it. Being d overlooked in this way is a. reson for F humility not anger, don't you really E think so? Mr. Mundinger, C. E., has been a employed by the parish as supervising f( engineer to look after its interests in F the extensive bridge building, for which 0 the parish has let the contract to Austin Bros. of Dallas, Texas. Mr. Mundinger L has severed his connection with the company excavating gravel at Highland plantation, and will give his entire time to the bridge work. He says that 2 he fully realizep the responsibility of his position, namely the doing of all in his power to see that the bridge-build ing is done well in every particular, and that substantial and perfect bridges will be furnished by the contractors, whom he knows well by reputa tion, and thinks very highly of. Upon this contingency, that the bridges shall prove satisfactory, he knows, that the future of good roads and good bridges in West Feliciana depends. If this initial effort be successful, nothing will stop the people in the determina tion to secure roads worthy of the bridges and adapted for the public u service. Work on the Alexander's creek bridges begins this week, and will be watched with interest. West Feliciana has suffered long enough for need of a bank. This all ment will be cured when the Bank of Commerce opens for business on Oct. 7. The bank's ability to aid the commu nity will depend largely upon the patronage given it. Arrange your af fairs so as to transfer your bank ac count to. a home institution. t The sidewalk from Martin Paul's store to the L. R. & N. bridge across Principal St. has been put in good order by the application of cinders i thereto, and the boarding of the sides. The work was done under the super vision of Mayor J. H. Logan of Bayou Sara, the railroad contributing the 1 cinders and a part of the labor. Sta-r tion Agent Godeau takes an interest in 1 the environment and shows a disposi- . tion to assist the mayor in his work. , p 1 Miss May Aubic was much frighten ed, Thursday, by a tramp, who came 1 to the back door, and demanded food in a very ugly manner. Unwilling tol let him come into the house, she gave him a nickel and he went away. It is said that he afterwards crossed the river. The Bank of Commerce, which opens its doors on Thursday, October 7, will be a small bank but it will be a REAL bank. There will be no short cuts in its affairs and the entire capital will be paid in before the doors are opened. 1 Arrange your affairs so as to trabsfer your bank account to a home institu tion. Pecans are falling, and it is expected that the crop will be large this year. STAR HILL NEWS. Mr. Herman Pigott, who has been working in Dallas, Texas, for the last few years, is at home on a vacation trip. Miss Hilda Simmons left last week for her school in Beauregard parish. Mise Effie Bickham left Sunday night for Alexandria, where she will teach. Miss Rose E. Sandoz, having con cluded her visit to her sister, Mrs. J. M. Daniel, has gone to Youngsville to teach. Mr. and Mrs. I. D. Harvey are re joicing over their first-born,' a girl, who arrived on the 6th. lr. T. D. Bickham and son, Elvin, spent a part of last week in New Orleans. The colored people deserve much credit for their efforts to put the pub lic graveyard, opposite the Hebrew Rest, on the Woodville road, in better order. The result is still somewhat crude, but the hedge and the weeds have been cut away. With some en couragement and co-operation from the white people, the negroes will do more towards making the spot more attrac tive. Flowers and trees conid be planted, and much else done at little expense. SANITARY NOTICE. The throwing of dead animals and other refuse in the streets and ditches tof Bayou Sara is prohibited, and per. a sons, guilty of doing so, will be fined. 1 All householders are urged to help - keep the town in a healthful condition I by keeping their premises clean and i free from rubbish of all descriptions. 2 JAB., -H.

C. M. DOWNS, G. L. PLETTINGER, 2 GEORGE M. LESTER. RYE AS A CROP FOR HOGS. Rye affords good winter grazing for hogs, and may be sown from late September to early December. South ern-grown seed must be used. If North ern seed are sown the leaves will make a fiat growth on the ground dur ing the early winter and afford little grazing. The Southern-grown seed will stand erect and give good grazing throughout the winter. During an aver age winter, rye will not give as much grazing, on most soils, as will oats. If the winter is quite cold, rye will fre quently give a better growth than oats. About one and a half 'bushels per acre should be sown, either broadcast or in drills. Some prefer broadcast sowing with all grains designed for winter pasture. No definite experiments have been made along this line in Louisiana. -Oate, rye and barley sown with a drill seem to withstand cold weather better than that sown broadcast, but broad ecast sowing seems to give a more complete covering of soil in early winter, Rye matures about a week or ten days in advance of oats, other condi tions being the same. On the Experi 1 ment Station grounds we prefer oats B to rye for winter pasture, but there may be some conditions under which . rye would be preferred. p If one cannot secure home-grown 3 seed, Georgia seed are to be preferred. i It is very idiportant that Bouthern. . grown seed be secured.-W. R. Dodson, Diretorw Mxperlment Stations, I, R, U. THE DOG'S COLD NOSE. The old fable tells us that when Noah tried to get all the animals into the ark, some of them were troublesome, and he had to get a dog to help him drive the last to enter the ark. There was no room left, so the dog had to 1 stand in the doorway with his nose 1 outside in the wet, and it has never been warm since. Science gives quite another explana tion of the matter. The coldness of a dog's nose, says science, is due to the fact that it must be kept moist all the time in order to sharpen his sense of smell. And as the moisture is cooled by the air, it keeps his nose cold all the time. In addition to the olfactory or the gmelling nerves inside a dog's nostrils the whole black membrane around the nose is very sensitive, and this sensi tiveness can only be retained by noisture. Thus it is that when a dog's nose is dry and warm, he is ill and needs doctoring. Governor -Iays of Arkansas pardon ed the only white woman convict in the state penitentiary, NFORMATION FOR HOG GROWERS Circular No. 3, issued by the Exten sion Division of the Louisiana State University contains information that should be of much value to the hog growers of the State. Under the head ing, "The Best Crops for Hogs," Pro fessor W. R. Dodson discusses oats, clovers, rape, rye, barley, wheats, vetches, alfalfa, Bermuda grass and white clover.
