U. Hog Sale To Be Held Here Rayville Celebrates Homecoming With Defeat Over Start Inexperienced Owls Unable To Hold Fast Hornets; Get Short End of 77-0 Score Mrs. Mary Ellis Jones A host of friends in this section were shocked Wednesday by the passing of a dearly loved and respected citizen, Mrs. Mary Ellis Jones. Mrs.

Jones was born in Winnsboro, on February 20th, 1886, daughter of Carey James Angell Ellis and Julia Ethel House Ellis. The Ellis family came to Rayville to reside in 1899, and Mrs. Jones has been a beloved resident of this town since that date. She attended public school in Winnsboro and Rayville, then Ward's Seminary in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1910 she was wed to William Luther Jones, member of one ofthe oldest Richland families, who passtd away in 1945.

Two children were born to this union. Her passing was sudden, following an illness of about three weeks, caused by coronary thrombosis. She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Wilma Jones Francis of Rayville and Mrs. Ellis Jones Dickens of Spartanburg, S.

two sisters, Mrs. J. T. Gladney of Rayville and Mrs. Wallace Atkinson of Summit, one brother, Judge Carey J.

Ellis of Rayville: and five Number From Here Attend Bolton High Music Program A large number of Rayville music lovers left Tuesday afternoon to attend Bolton high school choruses' "Song of Thanksgiving," which was under the direction of Mr. H. C. Col-lings. Those who attended report that the program presented was a most enjoyable one, and evidence of the excellent work that Mr.

Collings has done at Bolton in his short stay there, as the choruses participating had had no former instruction in this type of vocal presentation. The program, former audiences of the concerts presented by Rayville groups will see, is one containing many of the numbers presented here. Observers state that the Rayville groups were superior in some of the common numbers presented, but inferior in others, and predict great success for the Bolton groups as they benefit by more of Mr. Collings training. The vocal groups were composed of fifty-five voices and the following numbers were rendered: A Mighty Fortress Is Our God; Behold that Star; Dry Bones; Simon the Fisherman; Smoke Gets In Your Eyes; Donkey Serenade; All the Things You Are; The Worm; Hebe-nera; Joshua; Rockin All Night; Jubilee; Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray; Old Oaken Bucket, as arranged by Mr.

John C. Morris, Who Dat; God of Our Fathers; Battle Hymn of the Republic; Jesus Boy; Built On A Rock; Come Ye Thankful People Come; Thanksgiving; Praise To God; Grandmother's Thanksgiving; All Hail the Power of Je3us' Name. An interesting addition to the program not listed on the formal sheet was the impromptu concert given by members of the Rayville choruses together with the Bolton groups which toolc place after the formal concert was over. Among Rayvillians making the trip to Alexandria were Rev. and Mrs.

E. B. Emmerich, Elsa Emmerich, Mr. and Mrs. W.

L. Haley, Harriette Nan Haley, Betty Faust, Frances Hatch, Mr. John Morris, Miss Josephine Mendolia, Miss Helen Morgan, Mr. Raymond Bolton, Mr. and Mrs.

Homer Norris, Betty Norris, Bobbye Norris, Rayville Marshal R. N. Smith this week reports that Elijah Banks, colored, is being held in the Rayville jail charged with having committed the theft of two table model radios after having broken into Kidd's Hardwara Store last week. The stolen radios were found in a pawn shop, and were positively identified as the missing instruments. Information given by the shop's proprietor led to the apprehension and arrest of Banks.

He was placed under arrest by town officials, and was bounu over to the parish to await trial. The radios were reportedly stolen when a burglar entered the Rayville store on the night of Sunday, November 4th. Part of the glass of the building's rear door was broken out to permit entry, investigators state. The radios were returned to Mr. Kidd, and were reported not damaged.

Tallulah Production Credit Association Building Office Still another building is to be added to Rayville's rapidly growing business section with the construction of the Tallulah Production Credit Association office building now under way. The foundation has been laid on Madeline Street just south of the courthouse square, and sides and roof had been completed at this writing. A spokesman for the Tallulah of fice stated that "it is hoped the new building will be completed by the first of the year. The busiest season for this agency is immediately after the first of the year, and it would be most desirable to have the office completely moved by then. Floor plans for the modern new building include space for two offices, one reception room to be used by both offices, clerical space and rest room facilities.

Plans and specifications were let for bids, with the job going to the lowest bidding contractor, T. J. Owens of Winnsboro. Ginners' Report Shows Over 42,000 Bales For Parish The census report, furnished us by Mrs. Lena Gay Christian, special agent of the U.

S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Census, shows that 42,337 bales of cotton were ginned in Richland parish from the crop of 1951 prior to November 1st, 1951, as compared with 27,812 bales for the crop of 1950. This is a decided gain over last year, and the gins are still operating overtime. The crop probably will exceed fifty thousand bales. Experimental Group Presents Play "In the Round" An appreciative audience Tuesday night witnessed the first Rayville presentation of a play "in the round," a form of dramatic presentation becoming increasingly popular in theatrical circles.

The Rayville high school speech classes, under the direction of Miss Gladys Diamond, present ed two one-act plays at the high school gymnasium to an audience seated all around the scene of action. The "stage" was a portion of the gymnasium floor, with seating arrangement entirely surrounding it. The immediate advantages of such an arrangement include the elimination of elaborate stage sets, the reduction of stage props to a minimum, the additional emphasis given dialogue and action, and, if the play, is well-done, as both were Tuesday night, the creation of a more intimate relation between players and spectators. Among the difficulties which were overcome by the high school group were the more intricate lighting effects required, and the greater demands upon the actor to create and sustain the atmosphere of the play The two short plays chosen for presentation were well-matched for an evening's entertainment. The first was a suspenseful melodrama entitled "High Window," which found Betty Faye Whitten ably handling the leading role.

Jack Blakeman, Patricia Byrd, Henry Frank Cumpton and Lillian O'Neal also did highly creditable work in creating a story that built steadily to a dramatic climax. The second play was the delightful comedy. "Let's Make Up." In this hilarious bit of nonsense the dating ioioies ol both boys and girls were amusingly presented by a. cast that seemed to be having a grand time doing it Bringing forth the audience's chuckles were Russell Rainbolt, Cloyd Walker, Ann Page, Sherrill Medlin, "Chuck" Johns, Melbaline Wilson, Bunny Gladney, Elizabeta Whitten, Frances Williams, Alton Burkett, Doyle Rogers, Beverly Smith, Richard Downes, and Benny Walker. Those working at the essential behind the scene duties were Jackie Adcock, J.

H. Landrum, "Red" Hendrix. Mari on Ratcliff, Bryant Evans, Bobbye Norris, Bobby Walker, Jimmie Sals-bury, Jan McCarthy, Earl Temple, Johnny Whitten, Dorothy -Phillips, Harrison Jordan, David Burk, Dur-wood Huhn, Alien O'Quinn, Lola Medlin, Betty Bond, Charles Spruell, Eula Medlin and Mary Alice Rockett, POSTED NOTICE Notice is hereby given that all of our property in Wards 4 and 5 is posted against all hunting and trespassing, under penalty of tha law. CECIL G. PARDUE.

MRS. LINDA G. PARDUE, H-17-3tP Mangham, La. Pursuit of Drunk Five Arrested By State Police For Violations In Past Week State Trooper G. K.

Maxwell this week reports the arrest of a drunken driver who led the trooper a wild chase, causing- the wreck of the troop er's car, but failing to elude arrest. The man arrested was Damus Dudley Fondren, white, of "Bossier City, who faces the triple charge of drunken driving, resisting arrest and hit and run driving. State Trooper Maxwell reports that he was forced off the highway when entering Delhi by a careening automobile. He turned to pursue the car, with his red light flashing and siren screaming, but the driver of the other vehicle added speed. The state car overtook the speeding vehicle, but was forced over to the shoulder when he attempted to stop the man.

It was just dark, and the driver of the pursued vehicle apparently did not see the unlighted back of a semi-trailer ahead of him, crashing into the vehicle, and causing the pursuing state car to ram into the pile-up. The trooper's car was badly damaged, but the pursued car pulled over to the shoulder, passed by the scene of the accident and kept going. Trooper Maxwell reports that he commandeered a vehicle which had pulled up at the scene of the accident, and continued his chase of the first car, after pushing the police car off onto the highway shoulder. When he finally stopped the fleeing driver, 1 mile3 from the accident scene, he found that the driver was drunk, and placed him under arrest on the charges stated. Further investigation showed that Fondren had a previous arrest on a drunk driving, hit and run charge made by Ruston officials in 1946.

He was arrested here on November 7th. Another arrest arising from the same accident was that of Lee Rhine-hart of Rayville, driver of the semitrailer which was operated without rear lights. He was charged with having improper lights. State Trooper Frank Greaves reports the arrest of three other men committing law violations while intoxicated. The first was the arrest of Jack Lanham of Little Rock, who was involved in an accident at Dunn when his car crashed into the rear of a car operated by Albert Dunbar, which had slowed to pass through Dunn.

He was arrested on November 8th, and charged with drunk driving, property damage and personal injury. James M. McKaskle of Jigger was also arrested for drunk driving after investigation of an accident in which the vehicle operated by McKaskle ran off the highway and into the ditch at 6:30 a. m. November 11th at the Archibald intersection.

Trooper Greaves, who investigated the accident, reports that Trooper Maxwell testifies to the man's intoxicated condition when he arrived for treatment at the Ball and Ellington Clinic Also charged in connection with the same accident was Charlie E. Weems of Winnsboro, an occupant of the McKaskle vehicle, who wa3 arrested on the charge of being drunk and disturbing the peace. Thanksgiving Service The union Thanksgiving service will be held in the Methodist church this year, Thursday, November 22nd, at 8 a. m. Rev.

Charles A. Heine, pastor of the First Baptist Church, will be the speaker. This service has been held over a number of years, going from one church to the other. Last year it was held in the Baptist church with Rev. Newton Griffith speaking.

The year before that, the service was held in the Episcopal Church with the Rev. Edgar L. Storey, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, bringing the message. The year before was the year the service was held in the Presbyterian church with the Rev. Earl B.

Emmerich, pastor of the Methodist Church, bringing the message. There will be an offering taken at this service for the help of poor persons in the community at Christmas. As the early Americans found cause to be thankful, let us come together and give thanks for the wonderful crops of Richland parish, for the goodness of God in this year. AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY REPORTS ON MEMBERSHIP DRIVE Tommie Cook Unit No. 122 of the American Legion Auxiliary members are indeed happy to report on their 1951 membership drilling operations during the months of September and October, to November 10th.

B. Smith this week issues an urgent appeal asking that all persons get Christmas mail in the post office as early as possible. It is especially necessary to get packages mailed "early in order that delivery in time for the day intended be assured, Mr. Smith states. The post office department has set November 15th as the deadline-for all Christmas packages headed for Korea.

It is very doubtful that packages mailed after that date will reach servicemen in time for Christmas, Mr. Smith states. Packages headed for Germany and Europe earmarked Christmas presents can be mailed a little later but, the Rayville postmaster explained, the earlier those other overseas packages are mailed, the more certain the sender can be that they will get there in time. The same appeal for early mailing goes for domestic packages as well. Early mailing assures early delivery, Mr.

Smith says, as last minute cards and packages clogging the mails during the Christmas season greatly hinder prompt and efficient service. Just under 50 per cent of Navy offi cer and enlisted personnel are marled. A parade, crowning of the queen ceremony, track meet football game and homecoming dance were highlights of the past week end when Rayville high school celebrated its annual homecoming. Festivities got under way during Friday afternoon preceding the game when the Rayville school band, the homecoming court, cheer leaders and pep squad followed by scores of Hornet supporters marched through the streets of Rayville. The climax was reached at the Rayville ball park immediately preceding the game, with a lovely ceremony at which time the honSecoming court was presented and the queen for 1951, Miss Sarah Ella Walters, was crowned.

The Rayville school played a stirring march as the queen and her maids, with their escorts, marched down an aisle formed by the pep squad, the squad leaders and the cheer leaders. Taking part in the ceremony were the thirteen senior members of the Hornet football team. Henry Frank Cumpton, Hornet quarterback and RHS Student Body president, bore the queen's crown. Standing in the center of the field to greet the members of the court were Hornet Captain Russell Rainbolt and Co-captain Chuck Johns. Each of the five girls was escorted by two senior football players.

Queen Sara Ella Walters, a high school junior, was escorted by Bobby Machen and Elwyn Ratcliff; Senior Maid Shirley Nichols was escorted by Charles Spruell and Earl Temple; Junior Maid Ann Page was escorted by Travis Maxwell and Murl Temple; Sophomore Maid Jimmie Salsbury was escorted by Billy Morace and Melvin Rouse; and Freshman Maid Carol Downes was escorted by Billy Max Colvin and Glenn Williams. The girls were dressed in becoming tailored ensembles, and the queen wore her homecoming crown, carried her beautiful flowers, with sweet and regal dignity. An added touch was given by members of the cheering section lining the aisle, as each knelt in homage to the homecoming queen when she passed. The traditional ceremony over, time was called for the game lo begin. For the first time in many weeks the Hornet team found itself faced with a match which could only be called a breather.

The game Start players put up a hard fight, but were clearly outclassed by the Class A Hornet team from the first whistle. Coach Marvin Campbell states that he cleared the benches at the Start game, giving every member of the team some field time, but still the score added up to a final 77-0. Hornet stars Chuck Johns and Russell Rainbolt were kept in the game longer than others on the first string in order that points scored might go toward their conference rating. Johns made six touchdowns and kicked five extra points, which, added to the impressive total he had already accumulated against tougher competition, made him this week the top-ranking scorer in the Northeast Conference. Rainbolt's four touchdowns made in this game gave him the fifth place in conference ratings.

Rouse and Hendricks also scored one tally each. On Saturday night the homecoming court presided at a gala homecoming dance at the high school gymnasium. The sight of girls sweet-sixteen and thereabouts in their prettiest dresses, accompanied by scrubbed and shining escorts is always a pleasant one, and last Saturday night's dance offered plenty of such pleasant scenery. A very enjoyable part of the well-planned floor show was the presentation, of Hornet stars of yesteryear. Many of Rayville's football glories were recalled by the introduction of stars of past teams.

The present team was also honored, as was the team of tomorrow, with introduction of some members of the Bees, Rayville's peewee team. BOEUF R.VER BAPTIST CHURCH REV. STEVE CASKET, Pastor 10 a. m. Sunday School.

She gave freely of the great love in her heart, and was loved dearly by everyone with whom she became associated. Hr life was one based on the Biblical words that the greatest Christian virtue is charity, charity, that vaunteth not itself. Her understanding and sympathy with the sufferings of everyday humans, her simple and sincere devotion to the principles of righteousness, and her deep conviction that the people and beauties of this world were meant to be loved by those who trod the earth contributed to a character sweet and fine beyond description. She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother, and was one of the most hospitable hostesses in this section, always happy to bring friends into the warmth of her home.

Those who feel deep and sincere bereavement at her passing are numbrless, and amon? them can be listed the editor and staff of this paper, who take this opportunity to extend sincerest condolences to members of her family. Mrs. Jones was a devoted communicant of the Episcopal Church, serving numerous times on the St. David's Lay Council. She was president of the St.

David's Women's Auxiliary at the time of her death, and was also a charter member of the Lambda Kappa Club. Funeral services will be held at the residence, Friday morning at 10 o'clock, with Rev. H. Newton Griffith, of Lake officiating. Interment will be in the Rayville Masonic Cemetery under direction of the Mulhearn Funeral Home.
