Unavoidable Accident
On last Monday evening at ten
o'clock, there was a very deplo
rable and unfortunate accident,,
which resulted very seriously. It
appears that Miss Jeanne Gau
ing along the public road on the
opposite side of the bayou, near
Lafourche, stepped to the side,
en the approach of an automo
bile. The party divided, one por
tion going to one side of the
road, and the other to the other
side. The car started down, or
kept down the middle of the
road, not knowing what side to
take, or turn, there being people
on both sides, Miés Gaubert af
ter taking one side, darted to
the opposite, despite the protes
tation of an elder sister then
v ith her, as she got directly in
its path, and she was thrown to
the ground, and the wheels of
the car passed over her body, Mr.
'Raoul Ledet, was driving the
c-.°r, and on seeing what hàdl
happened, stopped his car, pick
ed up the young lady, and some
of her party, and turned his car
around and speeded to town
bringing her to the office of Dr.
!C. J. Barker, where all assistance
I that could be given her was giv
••en, and her condition was pro
nounced serious and critical.
i E ôv. Father Barbier was sent for
[and administered the sacraments
(of the Catholic Church. On the
ï early morning train she was ta

;Ml\ Ledet, who, from all reports,
is absolutely blameless, was
; much overcome and effected by
. the accident, and suffered him
self from the shock, while his
sister who was accompanying
jhim was also effected and in fact
hysterical over the deplorable
but uaavoidable accident.
Late reports were that her con

Mrs. Levi M. Hargis, born Miss
Rose Aucoin, died at her home
on last Monday at about eleven
o'clock, following an indisposi

not take a turn for the worse un
til the day previous to her death,
it was thought she might rally
from the last spell, but Divine
Providence willed it otherwise, I
and she had naught to do but an-1
swer the summons, in the 78th i
year of her life. She wa&of a ve-j

attached to the Thibodaux Col

knew the venerable Mr. Hargis,
and to many a young man in this
community, and in this part of
Louisiana had she been advis
er, and who looked upon her with
a revenue, and an affection
akin to that of motherly love.
Gentle, and pleasing in her man
ner she drew all unto her, child
ren as well as gro^vn ups, and so
peaceful was her death that even
after her soul immortal had
gone to the Great Beyond there
reposed on that countenance a

A GOOD FRIEND
A good friend stands by you
when in need. Thibodaux people
tell how Doan's Kidney Pills
have stood the test. Mrs. Fer
nand Romagosa of 539 Lagarde
St. endorsed DDoan's four years
ago and again confirms the story.
Could you ask for^more convin
cing testimony?
"I made a statement some time
ago recommending Doan's Kid
ney Pills but didn't give a fair
idea of what I really suffered
with my kidneys," says Mrs. Ro
magossa. "I had frequent at
S..1 2tc
tacks of what the doctor said
was gall stones. About every two
weeks I had an attack that laid
there was a drag-trine cain that

Doan's worked wonders for me
for I enjoyed better health than
I have for years. Since then I
have used a box of Doan's occa
sionally and they have kept me
feeling well." (Statement given
February 25, 1918.)
On February 10, 1922 Mrs. Ro

commend Doan's Kidney Pills. I
find them a valuable kidrey re
