(Composed by Mrs. C. H. Sheffield)
A liibute of loving remembrance
to ou: beloved friend, Elmira Lp
Blanc who departed this life on Sat
urday. August 28, 1920:
Dear Elmira.
Ye birds that sing a Joyous song
Sing ye of dear Elmira.
A form more fair, a face more sweat
Had none than dear Elm'ra.
Ye roses, violets, lilies, dasies,
All come and join and sing your
praises.
And every pansy at our feet
Will join and this tale repeat.
She Has as lovely as a rose,
With hair that was so fair
And her smile was like sunshine
With never a shadow there.
Now in that land of pure delight
Where saints immortal reign,
With grace, sweet grace celestial,
Does dear Elmira reign.
And we'll think of her as the roses
blow,
And the song birds sing so soft and
low.
YOUR FRIENDS.

QUARANTINE PARTS OF LOUIS1

THE CATTLE TIMOK.
Cattle Men and Local Authorities
Fail to Co-operate in Clean.
Up Activities.
Washington, Sept. 8-The Federal
quarantine f6r cattle-fever tick has
been ieplaced on the parishes of
Beauregard, Caldwell, Grant, Jack
son, Winn, Red River, Union, Frank
lin, Pointe Coupe, and Washington,
in Louisiana, and Ouachita Countj,
Arkansaa, by order of the United
States Department of ' Agriculture,
effectlie September 15, 1920. Thu
effect of the quarantine is that cattl?
can not be shipped inter-state from
these legions except unddr the reg,
lations promtrlgated by the Secretary
of Agr'culture.
The first five parishes named were
released from quarantine on Decem
ber 1, 1918, and the remaining four
parisAes named and Ouachita Coun
ty were released December 1, 1917,
but the cattle men ard local authori
ties in these regions have failed tE
co-operate in the "mopping-up" wor:c
and L;cks have multiplied unt!l thoy
now constitute a menace to near-uy
parishes and counties that are tiU.
free or that are eradicating ticks.
All other released regions in Lou
isiana and Arkansas'are doing satii
factory "mopping-up" work, and it
is believed that no other replacement
of quarantine will be found nece
sary.
