A GRAND SUCCESS. The Farmer's Subscription Contest Closes With a Dance at Cantrelle's Hll A large crowd assembled at Cantrelle's Hall Tuesday night to witness the closing of The Farmer's subscription contest. The ballot box was Placed near the music stand in the center of the hall, where it remained open for the deposit of ballots until 9 clock p. m. Promptly at this hour Mayor Richard announced the contost losed and the counting proceeded on the stage of the hall, each contestant having a representative present to look after her interest, as follows: Miss Esther Combel, H.

R. Warren; Miss Eugenie Heintz, J. L. Smith; Mrs. Alfred Smith, Mayor E.

V. Richard; Miss Mary Biggio, Willie Michaelis; Miss Euphemie Richard, Earl Smith. All the other contestants had dropped out of the race and their ballots were not counted. It had been generally conceded that Miss Combel would win the first prize; hence the counting of Miss Heintz's ballots created some excitement as the amount gradually approached the total of Miss Combel, stopping but a small number below it. Following was the result of the count: Miss Combel, Miss Heintz, Mrs.

Smith, Miss Mary Biggio, Miss Richard, 52,680. The total number of votes cast in the contest was was 734,300. Judge Thos. M. Burns then awarded the prizes in a few well chosen words, complimenting The Farmer on its long term of usefulness and its progressiveness.

The first prize, a $200 diamond, went to Miss Combel; the second, a old watch and chain. Miss Heintz; third, a handsome gold handle umbrella, Mrs. Albert Smith. Judge Burns then awarded five dollars in gold each to Frank Norman and Jos. Elchinger for being first to nominate the winner and made the announcement that $50 would be turned over to the parish school board.

The Farmer later presented Miss Mary Biggio with a very pretty pin, a love-knot with a diamond center, in consideration of her nearness to winning the third prize, and the further fact that she was the only outof-town contestant who remained in the contest to the finish. After the presentation of the prizes dancing was enjoyed by the large crowd present until a late hour. WThe Farmer wishes to thank Mr. Joseph Elchinger and Mr. Joe Hoffman for their kind assistance in preparing the refreshments, and all others who assisted in making the evening a su ss River W1I1 be Cleaned.

As a result of the interest taken by Hon. Robt. C. Wickliffe in the improvement of the Bogue Falaya river Col. Lansing H.

Beach, of the United States Engineering Corps, together with Mayor E. V. Richard, Capt. H. T.

G. Weaver, Capt. Henry Rockenschub. Capt. Ed.

Burns, Civil Engineer Preston Herndon and A. Rockenschuh made a trip of inspection down the river last Tuesday to its junction with the Tchefuncta. As a result of this inspection Col. Beach assures us that the river will receive prompt attention from his department just as soon as possible. He would not specify a date at which the work will be commenced, because there is no absolute certainty as to the date, and Col.

Beach is very careful and conscientious as to his statements, but that the river will receive attention as early possible we may rest assured. It may be in two or three weeks or even six months-just as soon as the dredge boats can be secured. After the trip Col. Beach was entertained at the Southern Hotel where matters were talked over. Abita Springs is interested in obtaining water connection with New Orleans, which can be obtained by diedging the Apita river to the Bogue Falaya.

With a view to looking into this matter a delegation of Abita citizens composed of Judge A. O. Pons, H. J. Thompson, Capt.

P. H. Thompson and L. Souchon came to Covington to meet Mr. Beach and if possible get him to go over the ground and pass on the practicability of the proposition.

Col. Beach said that he would not be authorized to make a statement unless a survey had been made by order of Congress. This would be the first step necessary to be taken. There will probably be no trouble in getting this survey made, which would be at the expense of the government, and it is also probable that the result of this survey will be afavorable report leading to the accomplishment of this work. Travelin Secretary Morman of the M.

C. A. was in Covington this week looking after the interest of the Aii1atIoD. Police Jury The Police Jury will meet in regular session next Monday, October 18, 1909. E.

D. KENTZEL, Secretary. The Chemical Ball. The weather seems to have taken special delight this season in getting its back up whenever an entertainment was in sight, consequently it I poured torrents of rain last Saturday night during the ball of Chemical No. 1.

While such weather must have been a great disappointment to the members and guests of the company, it is still flattering to note that even such weather was not sufficient to keep the friends of the company from the ball. There was quite a good attendance, and about $20 clear of all expenses was turned into the treasury and everybody had a good time. Line to lamsay. There is talk of extending the St. Tammany Motor Railway to Ramsay.

This would be a great convenience and would be appreciated not only by citizens of Covington and Ramsay, but by the many visitors who will like to take the trip to Ramsay to see the handsome new St. Joseph's College and Greenlaw mills. Mill Comipuiny. There is to be a new saw mill established at the junction of the Baton Rouge, Hammond and Eastern Railway and the New Orleans Great Northern a short distance from Covington. The company which is to start this new enterprise is from Hazelhurst, and the land for the site was purchased from J.

M. Aoueille. It is said that twenty families will be brought here by reason of employment in the mill. Carnival In Abital. The Mystic Club of Abita Springs is preparing for the celebration of Mardi Grss in Abita on a more extensive scale than has ever been attempted before.

This club has become unusually popular and has been very successful in all its undei-takings, so the announcement that they will take a hand in Carnival affairs means that something unusual will be accomplished on this occasion.

FROM C. M- LIDDLE. He Has Seen and Hlard Dr. Cook and Seen the Airships-Has Had a Great Time in a Great City. St.

Louis, Oct. 9, 1909. Editor company with J. A. Bousquet I left Slidell last Monday morning foi this great city.

We came through parts of five States, and have been in a state of satisfaction ever since. We have been treated with hospitality and honors out of the ordinary. Have had complimentary tickets to several important functions and also to the lecture of the great and only Dr. Cook, of North Pole fame; we have had choice seats and the full benefit of his lecture and scenery. He looks like W.

P. Fussell and is a money maker at ten thousand dollars an hour, some tickets selling at twenty-five dollars. The shouting lasted for several minutes when he came on the stage. He was also in the procession of Friday. And as to processions and parades, oh, my! good old New Orleans is not in the same class as St.

Louis, in almost everything. One feature we do not like here is no "Jim Crow" car law-negroes ride on cars same as white folks, This city has just now more than a million population and a Mardi Gras crowd all the time. A train goes and comes every minute of every day. There are more than thirty big shoe factories here and other industries in proportion. We went into one shoe house and saw a two-million dollar stock, and many shoes of the firm are sold in Slidell.

They gave us a twenty-five mile spin in a six thousand dollar auto. There are no "muskeeters" here. The air is pure and bracing. We have seen numbers of great things and sights, and have wished for all our friends to be with us. Oliver Aiken ought to come up here and farm right.

We haye seen several pumpkins larger than a flour barrel and have taken in the pumpkin pie quite often. And as to eating, we are hungry also often. Well, we have been here a week, have seen the great Curtiss aeroplane, and Baldwin fly in his dirigable, and heard and seen Dr. Frederick A. Cook.

We have seen the greatest spectacular demonstrations, and in decorations, in size and enthusiasm of the crowds, in the variety and completeness of attractions, the St. Louis Centennial is far ahead of anything ever in the United States. Dr. Cook said that next to the North Pole discovery this has been the happiest time of his life. Now good-bye; we must get ready for the big banquet tonight.

Then tomorrow we tear ourselves away and leave for home. C. M. LIDDLE. -6FOR SALE-Central Store at Abita Springs, Cheap.
