Contracts were let this week for three new homes, all of which will be erected in North Bogalusa. J. B. Lindsley, President of the Washing- ton Bank and Trust Co., will be the owner of one of the new houses which will be a seven room cottage of the most modern style. J. L Gould is having a six room bungalow built on North Border Drive. This home, when completed, will be one of the prettiest in Bogalusa. J. W. James will be the owner of the new five room bungalow on Virginia Ave., which will be modern and one of the best arraaged that has been built this year. Secretary Dobbs, of the Bogalusa Building and Loan Association, re- ports that there are a number of people who will build during the next few months and that the out- look for building is the best since he has been connected with the organization. "The liberal plans we offer makes it just as easy for a man to own his own home as paying rent. At the end of a few years he will own the property instead of a ibatch of recients. Some people think that we just say that for a "catch" but I am ready to convince the most skeptical that we will build a home and make the payments cheaper than rent." New Fire Department At a recent meeting of the citi- zens and property owners of Pleas- ant Hill, a volunteer fire depart- ment was organized. J. H. McLeod was elected chief and J. D. Shillings assistant chief and captain of the chemical extinguishers. M. M, Faust is captain of the hose com- pano.

When completed it is esti- mated that between three and four hundred men will be added to the huge payroll of the concern.

When completed it will be the fourth and largest sawmill operated on the Salmen property. The twin mill will be second in size only to the great Bogalusa mill and will take six to seven months to complete. Fred W. Salmen. and Local Man- ager Mitchell were busy Saturday completing details. "rhe mills will be erected under the direct supervision of the com- pany officials," Mr. Salmen stated when seen in his office in the Whit- ney Building Saturday.

Proclamation City of Bogalusa Executive Department The President of the United States of America, for the Nation, and the Governor of the State of Louisiana, for this State, have pro. claimed Thursday, the 25th, of No- vember 1915 a day for Public Thanksgiving. It is especially fitting and proper that the people of Bogalusa observe this day by returning thanks to the Creator for His many blessings to us as well as-to the entire country. The greater portion of the civiliz- ed world is in the throes of an aw- ful war. Our country is at peace. The horrors of pestilence and fa- mine are unknown amoung us. Our industries have not ceased despite the cry of "Hard Times." Unmis- takable signs of prosperity cause us to face the future with unfaltering hope. Let us not forget these manifold benefits, and on that day, with grateful hearts, let us render hum- ble thanks for the blessings we en- joy, not forgetting to aid and com- fort any unfortunates coming to our notice. In consideration of the foregoing, I, J. K. Johnson, Acting Mayor of the City of Bogalusa. do hereby proclaim Thursday November 25 1915, as a day set apart for Thanks- giving. Thus done and signed at my office in the City Hall. City of Bogalusa, Louisiana. this the 19th day of December 1915. J. K. JOHNSON. Acting Mayor.

J. P. Parker, of Isabel. donated the site on which the site on whic the vat will be constructed. Meters Rai Slow An investigation of the electric meters in New Orleans recently show that out of a total of 7719 tested only two were found to be running fast, 560 were found slow and 115 were not registering at all which goes to disprove the fact that electric meters become "speeders" as most consumers imagine. Obiturary "Though he were dead yet shall he live." John 11-25. On Sunday night. Oct. 31, a gloom was cast over the entire community, for the Angel of death ' had taken from our midst our dear beloved sister, Davie Day. daughter of William and Judith Ann Cothern and wife of B.W. Day. On Monday she was followed to her last resting place in Providence Cemetery by sorrowing relatives and friend. Rev. E. Dunaway of- ficating at the grave. It seems Shard that one being only thirty-six years of age and so full of life should be taken away, but God had a place in one of the many man- sions our Savior has gone to pre- Spare. "that none could fill but precious Davie. Weeping husband and children, morn not for your idol, God in his wisdom and power ordereth all things for the best." She has gone forever from this earth, but, "is at home in heaven where parting comes no more." None knew her but to love her, we miss her happy presence from home and church and, as we shed tears o'er her grave, let us be in- fluenced by her upright character, resolving to lead better lives so as to meet her on that shore of eternal bappiness. To the grief striken family, we tender our heartfelt sympathy and remind them: We watched her breathing through the night Her breathing soft and low As in her breast the wave of life kept heaving to and fro. For when the morn came dim and sad, And chilled with early showers Her quiet eyelids closed. She had another morn than ours. Mrs. L J. BOYD. JOHN HUFFMAN, POPULAR CONDUCTOR WAS KILLEO When Car lie Was Pilot- ing Was Struck By Engine At Slidell Jao. P. Huffman, one the best known and most popular conduc- tors of the N. 0. G. N., met with an accident at Slidell Wednesday evening that resulted in his death a few hours later. Mr. Huffman had recently recovered from a se- vere attack of malaria fever and the company decided to give him light work. He was made pilot on the hand car that carried the Cumberland Telephone repair crew and as the car was going round a curve in the yards a switch engine was approaching a short distance _ away. Both the engine and the hand car were running at a stow rate and everyone jumped from the car except Mr. Huffman. Whether he thought that both would be brought to a halt or if he was un- able to jump is unknwon. When fellow workmen reached the side of Mr. Hoffman it was not r thought that he was dangerously injured. Examination showed that he had sustained a broken collar bone. He was removed to the Headley Hotel at Slidell, but a few hours later hemmorage developed and death soon followed. Mr. Huffman came to Bogalusa a few years ago from Terre Haute Ihdiana, where he was a passenger conductor on the Southern Indiana. He was popular in Bogalusa, not only among the railroad men but among all classes of citizens. He is survived by a wife and one son who reside at Evansville, Indiana, where the remains were shipped Following his death the N. 0, ( • . Company made up a special tratai to take the remains to New Orleans where good connections were made for Evansville. Begalues Fias City Mrs. S.
