Waiting on Parish
A member of the Board of Com
issioners of Pearl River county,
Mississippi, was in Bogalusa this
week trying to get some information
as to when this section of the parish :
would be ready to start work on the
bridge across Pearl River and to
place the roads leading to the state
line in good condition. The taxpay
ers of Pearl River have voted and
paid their money for this work, which
is now being held in the banks, and
they are anxious that the work be'
started.
Become Practical
Nurse in 3 Weeks
a
I
The Bogalusa Chapter, always "on
the job," has arranged to have Miss
Emma Wall, who has been appointed
Red Cross instructress of elementary
hygiene and home care of the sick, to
come to Bogalusa and March 15 and
take charge of classes here. Three
c lasses ~a day can be taught, and if
the ladies of Bogalusa will respond
aa readily and as nobly as they have
always done, attending one class a
day, the can finish the course in three
weeks.
Why worry about the future health
of Bogalusa ; each family can have
a practical nurse in its own home,
and the boys surely will not miss the
attention and care of the Red Cross
nurses, knowing that mother or sis
ter will look after their health on
their return.
New Orleans has had this course;
Montgomery has started it, already
having enrolled 259 members.
Bogalusa can surely enroll 75 or
100 members, and as Miss Wall is
very competent and has recently re
turned from Red Cross work in Paris,
Miss Winters has asked to have her
sent here before she is engaged by
any other chapter. Bogalusa must

Shoots Out Eye
of Older Brother
One of the most lamentable acci
dents that has occurred hi Bogalusa
this year was that of last week when
Wilton, the 8-year-old son of John
McNeese, one of the best known citi
zens of Bogalusa, accidently shot out
the eye of his brother, McCauley,
aged 19. The little fellow walked
out to where his older brother was
working, carrying a gun which none
thought to be loaded. He told his
brother, playfully, that'he was go
ing to shoot him and pulled the trig
gtr and a shell was exploded. The
right eye of McCauley was blown al
most out of his head. Medical aid
was rushed to the young man
it developed there was no hope of
saving the eye, while his face was
badly burned with pçwder.
Investigation showed that the shot
had been removed from the shell far
the gun and the eye was blown out
by the wad.
The young man waa taken to a
specialist at New Orleans and is now
resting well.
Start on Good
Roads Delayed
The half a million dollars worth of
good roads, which were to have been
started at an early date, wiH not
find much done during the next
few months, owing to the fact that
it has now been decided to have a
"friendly suit" brought against the
parish in order to have the courts
devide the legality of the sale of the
bonds. One bonding company stated
that the papers in the matter were
alright, while others state that they
were not Anyway, the bonds have
been sold and the company which
purchased them to going to wait until

ing for same./
months. If the highest courtl de
cides the papers are alright, it will
require several days to get the money
and attend to many other details, so
it begins to look now as if the start
cannot be made before the first of
August
When the question as to whether
the papers were alright or not waa
brought up sometime ago, it should
have been decided, and it would have
only required a few weeks to have
called another election, if necessary,"
said a man who was discussing the
good roads this week.
