In speaktig of his success with the Holstein cattle, Mr. J. F. Hoke, who is here from Maryland for the purpose of closing out his stock on the farm which he sold last summer, remarked to a Journal representative that he was seriously contemplating making the Holstein sale an annual affair, providing the stock takes as well as he believes they will. He is engaging in the Holstein busi ness exclusively in Maryland, and thinks that his connection with the industry. there will enable him to pick up a class of stock that will appealy very strongly to the buyers here who are turning their attention ?o dairy herds.

Dramatic Club which comes to the Auditorium Friday eve ning, December 5th, in the most cap tivating of plays, "All-of-a-Sudden Peggy", is an aggregation of the cleverest of dramatic artists at the State University. Peggy is the clever grandmother of the late Col. Nicholson, known in ev ery home in Louisiana. Miss Lucille May Grace and Miss Dorothy Flower are the daughters, respectively, of Hon. Fred J. Grace, commisqfiOer of the State Land Office, and Dr., . P. Flower. Sam G. Lucky was a dramat star. at the University years ago and has returned after the war to complete his college course. Lewis Long, as one of the comedy leads, has often been mistaken for a professional. Equally versatile is Mr. R. E. Chaplin, the Lord Crackenthorpe of the play, about whom the whole plot centers. Half a dozen others as butlers, foot men and society gossips, complete the cast. But we must not' overlook Miss Edna Arnold, of Baton Rouge, a freshman at the University, the Mrs. O'Mara who looks and acts fs though she might have come from Cork but yesterday. Three acts of hilarious comedy of a high order, gripping in its interest, sudden in its action, and unexpected in its results is assured. The collegians furnish music and dancing between the acts, and all will be prdgented at the Auditorium Dec. 5th, under the auspices of the Welsh High School. Prices: Children in balcony, 25c.

ATTENTION MEMBERS OF WOODMEN OF THE WORLD AND THE WOODMEN CIRCLE. It is very important that every member of Welsh Camp No. 176 W. 0. W. attend the next stated meeting' of the Camp, which comes on Wednes day night, December 3. At this meet ing the annual election of officers will take place. Owing to the fact that there is a diversity of opinion -as to the. effect of the new laws of the order which will go into effect on January 1st, the officers of Welsh Camp have secured the services of Judge W. C. Braden, C. C. of the Lake Charles Camp, who was a delegate to the Sov. Camp Con vention in Chicago, when the present laws were enacted,and who will be present at the meting next Wednes day night to explain in detail their effect upon the members.

No Woodman can afford to miss this important meeting and the oppor tunity of hearing Judge Braden ex plain the workings of the new laws.

T. B. MONKS. W. J. MONKS. ' WALTER MONKS. MRS . E. F. HARDCASTLE WOODLAWN NOTES. Unsettled weather conditions still still prevail. We were visited by rain Monday night and along with the rain came a high thlfting southerly wind, making every,:ling dirain". eable and a storm o: some violence passed over here damaging some property and up rooting trees. Rice threshing has come to a stand still, broadly speaking. Only a few farmers have some rice to thresh and though much of the rice is still in the fields, the rains of the past few weeks have rotted the butts so bad that it is unprofitable to thresh such rice. Mesrs. Raymond Hebert and Allen DWolf sold their rice here last week. Much of the rice was of a high grade and brought a fair price. Mr. J. T. Moses of Oberlin and Mr. Karam of Fenton were visitors to our burg Sunday. Mr. David Miller and Mr. and Mrs. John Miller were Welsh business visitors Saturday. Fenton's staff representative to the Journal must be kin to Sherlock Holmes to detect any fights in our peaceful hamlet. I admit there was a fight, but not a knock down one-in fact there was no fight at all, for one of the participants is preparing to go into the boxing ring and the other contestant was his manager. I am afraid the aforesaid correspondent was not introduced to the major facts hence his non de plume "Sunshine." Woodlawn's subscribers welcome our neighboring burg, Fenton, in its representation in the Journal, and we are looking to see other communities hop in before long. What is the mat ter with Lacassine, Rice, Thornwell. They better hop in and ride. -Uncle zeke.
