The Smile
that won't come off, appears on baby's
face after one bottle of White's Cream
Vermifuge, the great worm medicine.
Why not keev that smile on baby's
face? If you keep this medicine on
hand, you will never see anything else
but smiles on his face. Mrs. S--.
Blackwell, Okla., writes: "My baby
was peevish and fretful. Would not
eat and I feared he would die. I used
a bottle of White's Cream Vermifuge 4
and be has not had a sickl de' since.

i Porto Iico Rice Broker Visits Welsh.
Lee FI. Vendig, who is a broker for
i the Gulf .ice Mill and has been visit
ing the rice belt for the past month,
left the latter part of the week for his
home in San Juan, Porto Rlico. Mr.
Vendig is an American who became
disgusted with the "sweat system '
and because of his feling against the
wrong in it, resigned an excellent po
sition in his father's factory. He then
collected samples of various lines and
started for the West Indies, after hav
ing studied Spanish for six months.
SHis success has been a signal one,
last year his coummissions amn(outing
to well up in the thousands. Besides
handling rice, he also represents the
Armour products and Ballard's flour.
Last winter while in P'orto lHico, I'hil
ip Miller, then manager of th, Gulf
Mill, placed the account of the mill
with Mr. Vindig, and this transaction
resulted in a business relation which
occasioned his recent visit to \Welsh.

should always be made when selecting
an article upon the proper working of
which the happiness of the family de- " -
pends. In selecting a "Quick Meal"
Stove you take no chances-you go ab
solutely sure. _
A "Quick Meal" Stove will do all that
a coal stove can do:
COOKING AND BOILING,
BAKING AND BROILINO,
FRYING AND ROASTINO,
STEWING AND TOASTINGO.
Only it does it so much quicker, nicer,
cheaper, cleaner and oh! so much easier.
The immense sale of the "Quick Meal"
Stove is due to its Merits-to nothing
else. It is the BEST.

.\, an item of interest to v(Ir read- t
ers, I heg to report that this (Tues- f'
day) mornling, at 10 o'clock, there was, t
sold on the floor of the New Orleans
Board of T'rade, the first new crop 11
e rice marketed this year. The lot con
sited of 39 sacks of well matured, h
well cured white Honduras, raised at s
New Iberia, and brought $6.00 per a
barrel, at auction. No t as much prem- a
ium as is usually paid for first offer- s:
ings, probably on account of size of t'
lot, The rice was worth .35.00 0o to
day's market. Ieceipts here will not
be steady for two weeks yet, but bar- w
ing bad weather, the mills will all he tl
running by the 5th of August. The
Teche country and Abbeville district HI
are very early and will probably mark. st
et the most of their Honduras rice ti

vance of Calcasieu parish. Itr

in a soft white silk and never will she in
look sweeter than when she stood at at
the marriage altar in youth, health le;
and happiness, stepping from school bi
days to the home. A lovable dispo- ta
sition, quiet manner and high stand
ard of honor made her a general fay- is
orite in the Welsh high school in at

The groom is one of the best and most m1
favorably known young planters in th
this community. After an elegant th

home of their brother and sister, Mlr P1h
and Mrs. Marshall Watkins, where trm
they will remain for the present. The sti

Last Lord's Day was full of cheer
, at the Congregational church. In the

was held at the bayou bridte, north
of town, at which the ordinance of hap.
tismi was administered to Mr. ''. C.
Moody, who had been drawn to God
I and His service by the Ho01ly Spirit.
The Sunday school was larger. than
usual, several appreciated visitors
being present. The communion of the
Lord's Supper was observed in the af
ter service, during which Mr. Moody
and wife were received into the fellow
ship of the church.
At night the childlren had their op
portuiiity. Childrerl's day exercises
had been prepar ired and were faithfully
practiced by the little th lks, who, in
suite to Iretqtit-nt interrulptions by
