They brought the dinner with them-a sump - tuous one-and a merry time ensued. Leonard Riggs entertained on the T afternoon of Thanksgiving in honor of his ninth birthday. Nine friends of his own age had been bidden to the ti festivities, which were all suggestive T of the day. There was a furkey hunt, little Miss Frances Irvine winning the 11 prize. The decorations were of turkeys applied on crepe paper interspersed T with Thanksgiving fruits. Leonard, who has a talent for drawing, drew the turkeys himself. Pleasing refresh- A ments were served.

John Brooks won the prize, with Wilmer Rogers a close second. A teacher, who encourages the acquisi- a tion of such knowledge as perfection Th in the multiplication table, deserves a prize herself. The boys' class in physical training Th began Wednesday afternoon. we Prizes were won at State Fair as follows: Canned peaches, prize 50 cts.; cotton patch, 75c;darned stocking, 75c; corset cover, 50; night gown, 75c; 1 tailored skirt, $1.25; tailored shirt- the waise, $1.00.

State Bank Examiner Young was f here Wednesday conferring with the officers and directors of the Farmers ia & Merchants Bank, as were also e- Messrs. Joe Gottlieb and H. H. Howell Bt of Baton Rouge, who are interested in a- the re-opening of that institution. 8- Mr. Young was shown evidence that L a very large majority of the depositors It and creditors of the bank were willing d and anxious that the affairs of the e bank be taken out of the hands of the d liquidator and turned over to the of- . ficers and directors. Mr. Young was d convinced of the sincerity of these 8 claims, but wanted a guarantee, in r order to protect himself, that there t- are no depositors or creditors other a than those shown on the books of the 1 bank. This is something that cannot I be attended to on short notice, but the matter is being looked into, and there is a possibility of getting the affairs e of the bank in such shape that it can i 1 re-open at almost any date. At any r rate, it is not thought that this occa- sion will be postponed beyond the coming of the new year, as by that D time the liquidation will have progress- I ed so far that the claims of the de- pgsitors may be met in full, and the I other assets turned over to the di- r rectors. TO PAY DIVIDEND. The liquidator of the affairs of the Feliciana Bank & Trust Company is preparing to pay a dividend to the de- positors and preferred creditors of that institution. It is thought this will be done some time about the middle of December. This first dividend will r not exceed ten per cent. RETURNED TO INDIANA. Sheriff Y. F. White of Marion, Ind., arrived here Saturday afternoon, and left on the following day with E. E. Trowbridge who was arrested here last week upon the request of Sheriff White. Mr. Trodbridge is charged with issuing fraudulent drafts and forgery. Miss R. N. Billings, who succeeded Miss Kelly as state demonstrator in Home Economics, will be the guest of Mrs. Willis Daniel for the Thanksgiv- ing week-end. Miss Billings was a classmate of Mrs. Daniel, eight ypars ago in Wisconsin, and their reunion is the second since Miss Billings came South. In her honor, Mrs. Daniel en- tertained a large family party on Thanksgiving Day: Mr. and Mrs. Mon- roe Daniel, Mr. and Mrs. Wadsworth, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Maryman, Mr. Bob Daniel and family, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Daniel. Mr. John M. Parker Jr. and Mr. Jim Daniel were also present. It has been decided to sew for the veterans at Mrs. Ben Leopold's, in- stead of at the schoolhouse as previ- ously announced. All who want to help in the sewing, are invited to come to Mrs. Leopold's Wednesday after- noon at two o'clock. Every one inter- ested in this work is welcome. The ladies of the A. D. Thoms house - hold were very much frightened, Thurs- day night about 8:30 o'clock by the efforts of some unknown person to break into the house. The intruder was frightened away before he suc- ceeded in effecting an entrance. Mr. and Mrs. Ellason Barrow have a son, born in the early hours of Thanksgiving. a There was no exhibition of Movies r Thursday night on account of the weather and the death of Mrs. Langlois. a FOR THE OLD SOLDIERS.

P. Bowman died at the e family home, Rosedown plantation, at a half past three Monday morning, Nov. o 23, aged 83 years. She contracted a l severe cold, on Thursday, from which pa pneumonia developed, Sunday, and the inroads of this disease were so heavy, t upon a system already weakened by s her advanced age, that the end came 3 rapidly. The funeral services took s place at Grace Church and Cemetery, 9 at half past eleven o'clock Tuesday morning, and were attended by an B immense concourse of people from a the vicinity and remoter parts of the i parish, evidencing the universal re- 3 spect and esteem felt for her and her r family, which is one of the oldest in a the parish, prominently and honorably t connected with its history. To do i honor to Mr. Bowman, who has been ) for over thirty years the president of ! the parish School Board, the high t school was closed during the funeral hour and the pupils attended the - obsequies. i Although Mrs. Bowman had not left t the confines of her own beautiful home--Rosedown plantation-in many " years, hers was no inactive and un- i sympathetic existence. Her life was a busy one, and her sympathies were as broad as her intelligence, which had been ripened by culture and ex- perience. She took a profound interest in the world's doings, and no one, who met her, but was impressed with the qualities of her brilliant mind undim- med by age, her warm heart, her gra- cious personality, combining the dig- nity of a queen with the charm of a soul of kindliness and hospitality. She was the ;only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Turnbull, among the old- est and wealthiest of the early resi- dents of West Feliciana. It was they, who built the grand old house at Rose- down, seventy-nine years ago, planted its rare and beautiful trees, laid out the grounds rich with rosegarden and banks of flowering shrubbery, started the wonderful avenue of live oaks-the longest of its kind in the world-and lived to see the place a paradise of beauty and joy.Amid such surroundings was Sarah Turnbull reared. " Nothing that wealth could provide to improve her mind and person was spared in education and travel at home and abroad, to mould her into a noble, lovely woman. She was a famous belle and beauty, and in one of Ik Marvel's books she is referred to as "the beau- tiful Miss T- whom I met at Rome." She married Mr. Jas. P. Bowman, son of the Rev. William Bowman, the first rector of Grace Church and the first Episcopal minister that came to this section. The couple have con- tinued to reside at Rosedown through all the years of their married life, bringing up a large family of daughters and two sons. Of these six survive, Mrs. W. J. Fort, Misses Sarah, Corrie, Nina and Bella Bowman and Mr. Jas. P. Bowman Jr. all of West Feliclana. The cares and sorrows incident to bringing up a large family, the vicissi- tudes of war and of later times, have all been met and borne by the noble chatelaine of Rosedown with a Spartan courage and a supreme faith in God. She had the reverential love ofh her children and grandchildren, and the devotion of the husband of hey youth, spending her last years in an atmos- phere of almost ideal love and peace among the idyllic scenes of her old home, and when for the last time she passed along the avenue and out of the gates, having laid down its keys as mistress forever, it was as of one going, not merely to well-earned repose beside her loved parents and the children that went before her, but as of one going forth to receive t reward. WAKEFIELD NOTES. Mrs. L. J. Davis and Miss Lulle Davis returned Tuesday night from New Orleans, where they spent several days. Mrs. Robert Barrow and the Misses Taylor have become members of the Wakefield Improvement League. The school fair has been indefinitely postponed. Mrs. S. T'. Allain and daughter, Miss Helen, have left their summer home at Wakefield, and have gone to New Orleans for the winter. Mr. John Stirling spent Thanksgiv-I ing at home. Misses Mel Leake and Emma Clack were visitors in Wakefield, Sunday. Mr. W. L. Stirling and Mr. Chas. Argue attended the funeral of Mrs. J. P. Bowman, Tuesday. Mrs. Matt Gilmore visited the school last Friday. Mrs. Pinckney Johnson has bought the old McKowen place in the ninth ward, a desirable piece of property adjoining the Johnson place. A good rule for a girl to follow-a ii sane, safe guide to live by in the mat. ter of love-is to resolutely decline to l think a man means anything more than tl friendship by his attentions to you un- A til he tells you in unmistakable lan- b guage that he does love you. This a attitude will make a girl more charm- ing in a maini's eyes, for there is no a greater check to a man's love than to o behold his attentions accepted as some Ib thing signifcant before he himself is sure of his real feeling MRS. J. A. LANGLOIS DEAD. A gloom was cast over Thanksgiving Day, when it was known in the early morning, that Mrs. J. A. Langlois had died the previous midnight, after an illness, which developed Sunday but did not become serious until Wednes- a day evening, very few friends even knowing of her condition. The funeral, C held at two o'clock Thursday after- noon, amidst pouring rain added great- er gloom, although a large number braved the weather to pay this last e tribute of respect to one, of whom it can be truly said: "None knew her but to love her None named her but to praise." Elizabeth Lynball Sweetman Lang- . lois was the daughter of Jasper N. Sweetman, and wife of J. Aubin 1e Langlois, and through the short years of her life-twenty-five years, ten months and five days-was a resident A of Bayou Sara. The True Democrat has chronicled every event of her life except her birth:-the simple an- nals of her schooldays, her confirma- b tion, her graduation from high school, her engagement, her happy marriage, the birth of her two children, and now in writing "finis" to her earthly career, we can feel that no rounder fuller, though all too short life, has been presented to contemplation. Of a bright, sunny disposition, a warm kindly influence emanated from her very presence. As a young girl, lb she mothered all the younger children at school and Sunday School. All of them loved her and looked up to her as a leader. She was a dutiful daugh- b. ter, a loving sister, and a kind, tender W grand-daughter to Mrs. Elizabeth White, the only mother she ever knew, her own mother having passed away in the beauty of her young womanhood even as "Lizzie" has done. The home t brightened by her as wife, mother, daughter is inexpressibly bereft. Who O0 can fitly speak comfort to that aged Ce grand-mother, devoted husband, and little ones, that miss her love and at tender care? th TEACHERS' EXAMINATION. th The next examination for white to teachers will be held on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 and 2. The dates set for the by examination of colored teachers are co Dec. 3, 4 and 5. ta Thanksgiving service at Grace Church was poorly attended on account of the inclement weather. The special offer- co ing for the Episcopal Home, made by la: the Sunday School pupils, was sweet as potatoes and condensed milk. he Postmaster Leake desires to inform the public that the postoffice in St. Francieville will be open from 7:30 to a 8:30 a. m. on Sundays and hblidays. wl A LITTLE THINGS. lit "'Twas only an acorn small of Dropped from the teeming mold; But it grew, a forest giant tall, Ere the story of its life was told. "'Twas only a little word, Spoken to hush a strife; But a heart to all its depths it stirred, And saved a brother's life. "'Twas only a little thought, Traced by a dreamer's pen; But its burning words a lesson taught That moved the souls of men. "'Twas only a little Child, Born in a lowly place; But He grew to manhood undefiled, And taught the human race." BUCCESSION OF E. C. HENDERSON, DECEASED. No. 120. State of Louisiana, Parish of West Feliciana, 24th Judicial District Court. Notice of Filing of Final Account To Notice is hereby given to all whom Lt doth or may concern, to show cause within ten days from the present noti- Ication, if any they have or can, why the Final Account of Kemp C. Smith, 1 Administrator, filed herein, should not be approved and homologated and nade the judgment of the Court. Witness the Honorable Joe. L. ol-W ian, Judge of the 24th Judicial Distrlet ,f Louisiana, this 27th day of Novem- ber, 1914. E. M. MUSB, Clerk of said Court, BUY CHRISTMIM SEALS. A debt of fully eight thousand dollars remains to be paid on our Arlington Monument. The Convention decided to assume this debt which we owe the artist, Sir Moses Ezekiel. We have our beautiful monument complete and unveiled, and we, as Daughters of the Confederacy, will pay what we owe. One dollar's worth of our lovely Christ. mas Seals distributed in small lots to every member of your Chapter to be sold at one-half cent each, will yield, if sold, ten dollars. If every Chapter in our great organization would buy one dollar's worth and do this, It would give us the phenomenal sum of over fifteen thousand dollars, more than enough to pay the debt on Arlington, leaving a surplus which could go to Shiloh. Christmas is our time for sowing. Ask every one to use Seals instead of ribbon. "The Red Cross Seals for duty, the ,onfederate Seals for beauty," -the one on the outside wrapping of brown paper bundles, the other on the inside wrapping of white tissue dainti- ness. Buy your Seals and let us pay our debt in this way. They can be procured from your State President, U. D., C. HOSIERY HINTS. 1. Purciae one of the guaranteqd lines of hosiery. No one can make poor hose last long. 2. Wash out the feet of new hIte before wearing. This inreses the wearing quality of the foot. 8. Stitch around the top of each stocking on the machine, to prevent "ladders." 4. Buy six pairs or so at a time, and then rotate them in use. 5. Do not wear one pair longer than one or two days. Two pairs of fifty- cent hosiery have been known to last through a whole season's tramping abroad, without wearing out, because they were worn only one day, and then laundered by hand. Perspiration, more than anything else, causes the threads to break. 6. If possible, launder your hosiery by hand, in warm water, rinsing out in cold, hard water. 7. Remove at once any protruding tacks in the shoe. Eider Henry Hewlett, the well-known colored pastor, has raised some of the largest and finest peanuts we ever saw. He did not plant a large crop however. "The secret of success In life is for a man to be ready for opportunity when it comes."-Dlsraelf.

THE BANK SITUATION.

State Bank Examiner Young wasf here Wednesday conferring with the

officers and directors of the Farmersia & Merchants Bank, as were also

e- Messrs. Joe Gottlieb and H. H. HowellBt of Baton Rouge, who are interested in

a- the re-opening of that institution.8- Mr. Young was shown evidence thatL a very large majority of the depositors

It and creditors of the bank were willingd and anxious that the affairs of thee bank be taken out of the hands of the

d liquidator and turned over to the of-. ficers and directors. Mr. Young was

d convinced of the sincerity of these8 claims, but wanted a guarantee, inr order to protect himself, that theret- are no depositors or creditors other

a than those shown on the books of the 1

bank. This is something that cannotI be attended to on short notice, but thematter is being looked into, and thereis a possibility of getting the affairse of the bank in such shape that it can i

1 re-open at almost any date. At anyr rate, it is not thought that this occa-

sion will be postponed beyond thecoming of the new year, as by thatD time the liquidation will have progress- Ied so far that the claims of the de-pgsitors may be met in full, and the Iother assets turned over to the di-r rectors.

TO PAY DIVIDEND.

The liquidator of the affairs of theFeliciana Bank & Trust Company ispreparing to pay a dividend to the de-

positors and preferred creditors of thatinstitution. It is thought this will bedone some time about the middle ofDecember. This first dividend willr not exceed ten per cent.

DEATH OF MRS. JAS. P. BOWMAN.

a Mrs. Jas. P. Bowman died at thee family home, Rosedown plantation, ata half past three Monday morning, Nov.

o 23, aged 83 years. She contracted a

l severe cold, on Thursday, from whichpa pneumonia developed, Sunday, and the

inroads of this disease were so heavy,t upon a system already weakened bys her advanced age, that the end came

3 rapidly. The funeral services tooks place at Grace Church and Cemetery,

9 at half past eleven o'clock Tuesday

morning, and were attended by anB immense concourse of people froma the vicinity and remoter parts of thei parish, evidencing the universal re-

3 spect and esteem felt for her and herr family, which is one of the oldest in

a the parish, prominently and honorablyt connected with its history. To do

i honor to Mr. Bowman, who has been

) for over thirty years the president of! the parish School Board, the hight school was closed during the funeral

hour and the pupils attended the-obsequies.

i Although Mrs. Bowman had not leftt the confines of her own beautiful

home--Rosedown plantation-in many" years, hers was no inactive and un-i sympathetic existence. Her life wasa busy one, and her sympathies were

as broad as her intelligence, whichhad been ripened by culture and ex-perience. She took a profound interestin the world's doings, and no one, whomet her, but was impressed with thequalities of her brilliant mind undim-med by age, her warm heart, her gra-cious personality, combining the dig-nity of a queen with the charm of asoul of kindliness and hospitality. Shewas the ;only daughter of Mr. andMrs. Daniel Turnbull, among the old-est and wealthiest of the early resi-dents of West Feliciana. It was they,who built the grand old house at Rose-down, seventy-nine years ago, plantedits rare and beautiful trees, laid outthe grounds rich with rosegarden andbanks of flowering shrubbery, startedthe wonderful avenue of live oaks-thelongest of its kind in the world-andlived to see the place a paradise ofbeauty and joy.Amid such surroundingswas Sarah Turnbull reared. " Nothingthat wealth could provide to improveher mind and person was spared ineducation and travel at home andabroad, to mould her into a noble,lovely woman. She was a famous belleand beauty, and in one of Ik Marvel'sbooks she is referred to as "the beau-tiful Miss T- whom I met at Rome."

She married Mr. Jas. P. Bowman,son of the Rev. William Bowman, thefirst rector of Grace Church and thefirst Episcopal minister that came tothis section. The couple have con-tinued to reside at Rosedown throughall the years of their married life,bringing up a large family of daughtersand two sons. Of these six survive,Mrs. W. J. Fort, Misses Sarah, Corrie,Nina and Bella Bowman and Mr. Jas.P. Bowman Jr. all of West Feliclana.The cares and sorrows incident tobringing up a large family, the vicissi-tudes of war and of later times, haveall been met and borne by the noblechatelaine of Rosedown with a Spartancourage and a supreme faith in God.She had the reverential love ofh herchildren and grandchildren, and thedevotion of the husband of hey youth,spending her last years in an atmos-phere of almost ideal love and peaceamong the idyllic scenes of her oldhome, and when for the last time shepassed along the avenue and out ofthe gates, having laid down its keysas mistress forever, it was as of onegoing, not merely to well-earnedrepose beside her loved parents andthe children that went before her, butas of one going forth to receive treward.

A good rule for a girl to follow-a iisane, safe guide to live by in the mat.ter of love-is to resolutely decline to lthink a man means anything more than tlfriendship by his attentions to you un- Atil he tells you in unmistakable lan- bguage that he does love you. This aattitude will make a girl more charm-ing in a maini's eyes, for there is no agreater check to a man's love than to obehold his attentions accepted as some Ibthing signifcant before he himself issure of his real feeling

MRS. J. A. LANGLOIS DEAD.

A gloom was cast over ThanksgivingDay, when it was known in the earlymorning, that Mrs. J. A. Langlois haddied the previous midnight, after anillness, which developed Sunday butdid not become serious until Wednes- aday evening, very few friends evenknowing of her condition. The funeral, Cheld at two o'clock Thursday after-noon, amidst pouring rain added great-er gloom, although a large numberbraved the weather to pay this last etribute of respect to one, of whom itcan be truly said:"None knew her but to love herNone named her but to praise."

Elizabeth Lynball Sweetman Lang- .lois was the daughter of Jasper N.Sweetman, and wife of J. Aubin 1eLanglois, and through the short yearsof her life-twenty-five years, tenmonths and five days-was a resident Aof Bayou Sara. The True Democrathas chronicled every event of herlife except her birth:-the simple an-nals of her schooldays, her confirma- btion, her graduation from high school,her engagement, her happy marriage,the birth of her two children, andnow in writing "finis" to her earthlycareer, we can feel that no rounderfuller, though all too short life, hasbeen presented to contemplation.

Of a bright, sunny disposition, awarm kindly influence emanated fromher very presence. As a young girl, lbshe mothered all the younger childrenat school and Sunday School. All ofthem loved her and looked up to heras a leader. She was a dutiful daugh- b.ter, a loving sister, and a kind, tender Wgrand-daughter to Mrs. ElizabethWhite, the only mother she ever knew,her own mother having passed awayin the beauty of her young womanhoodeven as "Lizzie" has done. The home tbrightened by her as wife, mother,daughter is inexpressibly bereft. Who O0can fitly speak comfort to that aged Cegrand-mother, devoted husband, andlittle ones, that miss her love and attender care? th

ALITTLE THINGS.

lit"'Twas only an acorn small ofDropped from the teeming mold;But it grew, a forest giant tall,

Ere the story of its life was told."'Twas only a little word,

Spoken to hush a strife;But a heart to all its depths it stirred,

And saved a brother's life.

"'Twas only a little thought,

Traced by a dreamer's pen;But its burning words a lesson taught

That moved the souls of men.

"'Twas only a little Child,

Born in a lowly place;But He grew to manhood undefiled,

And taught the human race."BUCCESSION OF E. C. HENDERSON,

BUY CHRISTMIM SEALS.

A debt of fully eight thousand dollarsremains to be paid on our ArlingtonMonument. The Convention decidedto assume this debt which we owe theartist, Sir Moses Ezekiel. We haveour beautiful monument complete andunveiled, and we, as Daughters of theConfederacy, will pay what we owe.One dollar's worth of our lovely Christ.mas Seals distributed in small lots toevery member of your Chapter to besold at one-half cent each, will yield,if sold, ten dollars. If every Chapterin our great organization would buyone dollar's worth and do this, It wouldgive us the phenomenal sum of overfifteen thousand dollars, more thanenough to pay the debt on Arlington,leaving a surplus which could go toShiloh.

Christmas is our time for sowing.Ask every one to use Seals instead ofribbon. "The Red Cross Seals forduty, the ,onfederate Seals for beauty,"-the one on the outside wrapping ofbrown paper bundles, the other on theinside wrapping of white tissue dainti-ness. Buy your Seals and let us payour debt in this way. They can beprocured from your State President,U. D., C.

HOSIERY HINTS.

1. Purciae one of the guaranteqdlines of hosiery. No one can makepoor hose last long.

2. Wash out the feet of new hItebefore wearing. This inreses thewearing quality of the foot.

8. Stitch around the top of eachstocking on the machine, to prevent"ladders."

4. Buy six pairs or so at a time, andthen rotate them in use.

5. Do not wear one pair longer thanone or two days. Two pairs of fifty-cent hosiery have been known to lastthrough a whole season's trampingabroad, without wearing out, becausethey were worn only one day, and thenlaundered by hand. Perspiration, morethan anything else, causes the threadsto break.

6. If possible, launder your hosieryby hand, in warm water, rinsing out incold, hard water.

7. Remove at once any protrudingtacks in the shoe.
