Mr. Richard Lynch brought the
carcass of a very large wolf to towni
on last Saturday that he had killed 1
the day before,and which was nearly
or quite as large as a Newfoundland
dog. It was certainly the largest
wolf (on four legs) that has been
seen in this parish in years. We un-1:
derstand wolves have been numerous
in the back country of late and have
wrought havoc to young sheep and
young cattle, and great effort to
ward their exhtermmnauon has beed
made.
The Eastern Star Lodge, Tenses
Chapter, at St. Joseph, has signed'
up with White & Myers Lyceuzm
Bureau of Kansas City, Mo., for a
series of attractions for this winter
in line with those which afforded us
so much pleasure last winter. The
first booking-November 14---is "Th I
Neapolitan Troubadours," a spectac
ular novelty company of five people
in well chosen offerings of clasicda
and popular music, descriptive and
instrumental orchestral selections, in
troducing unusual instruments. This
attraction is distinctly high class and
will afford much pleasure to all lpv.
era of classical music. The usual ad
mission fee will be charged. The at
tendance should be large.

GOLF COURSE TO BE ORGANIZED
I AT PECANO.
On Wednesday evening, Novem
ber 9th, pursuant to invitation pub
lished in the Gazette, a number of e
our people, from different seetions,
of the parish, gathered at "Pecano,"
the home of Mr. and Ms. Dwigt h
Stone, to discuss the ways and means o
I to be employed in organising a Golf d
I nd Country Club at that place.
Mr. Stone had already marked-off1 I
a nine hole course and it was the;t
sense of those present that theL
stretch of ground selected was idealji
P for the purpose. It is well seeded
with Bermuda grass and is Just roll
I ing enough to fill the bill.
Gentlemen who have played on
both the Natches and Vieksburg
Links say that, even in its present
i condition, it is a better eowme than I
either. I
It is the desire of those promoting '
Ithe project that the membe1ip 1
charge shall be as low as possble,
and to this end committes were
r appointed to canvass the community
) at large in order to And out how s
L many members could be secured.
e In addition to the Golf Links itt
tis planned to erect a club house and
to have tennis and other forms of
s outdoor amusements.
The club will be within thiree
miles of Tenses River, oe df the
finest fishing placesin the stith, and
will be located on the gravel noad.
It is not planned to" ens tIhe ub
house on an elaborate seale but
e merely to erect a building emmesn
sonate with immediate needs.
The clubs, balls and other equip
Sment necessary can be bought in the
h closed season for nt ov fifteen I
dollars, so it will not work a hard- I
ship on any one wanting to Join the
e club. It is popularly believed that
& golf is a rich man's game, but this
is a mista'e.
SIt is planned to have another
Smeeting about December 1st, to p
ifeet organization. In the mematim
I Mr. Stone extends to any one inter
Sested in the game an invitation to
visit "Pecano" and play on the links.l
With view of raising funds for[
.church purposes membears of thl
SLadies' Aid Siciety of St. Joseph are
Sarranging to conduct a "gren

interesting and instructive address t
on the subject of the Great White tl
Plague. It is to be regretted that the r
meeting was not better advertised, o
so that it could have been more wide- d
ly known and better attended. The a
fact that the newspapers of Con- q
cordia and Tensas were not notified
in advknce, and thereby given op
portunity to announce the meeting l
and its purposes, shows some mis- t
management in the advertisement bu

A strong, united effort on the
part of teachers and pupils in con
nection with Better Speech Week
will do more to improve the speech
habit of chdlren than would the
same amount of time given to or
diary tent wor.
If yu have not already done so,
organise your school as suggested in
our Cirenlr No. 1333, and utilize
the game spirit to arouse interest
and to secure a maximum of at
tentioc sad effort. Students need to
be impressed with the psactieal val
ue of being able to may ust what
they mesa and to my it in an agre
able way, there are numerous petty
faults that mar our speech The
tests we study teach the right thing,
tit habit leads us unconsciously to
do the improper thing. To recognise
one's faults in conversation is the first
step In the process of overcoming
them. It is one thing to have these
fault. and quite another thing to
know that we have them. "He who
knows not, and knows that he
knows not, is simple; teach him." To
our knowledge of fault. must be
added practiee in what is correct.
It was eur purpose to make this prc
tiee as Lnteresting anrd intensitve as
pesiblte by means of igroups, clubs,
et. A little attention day by day to
ae's speech, a daily watchfulness ofl
one's bhabits, with a determination to
conect t~e bad ones, will send us far
oa the road toward sequiring the art
of good spech.
