; CONTRACTS AWAROEO FOR

THREE MODERN HOMESBuilding Activity Greatest

In Many Months Isr Report

The fact that Bogalusa will re-quire a hundred or more additionalhomes during the next few months,

due to the increased force at theLumber Mill and the opening of thePaper Mill, will result in a numberor rental houses being built.

Contracts were let this week forthree new homes, all of which willbe erected in North Bogalusa. J. B.Lindsley, President of the Washing-

ton Bank and Trust Co., will be theowner of one of the new houseswhich will be a seven room cottageof the most modern style. J. LGould is having a six room bungalowbuilt on North Border Drive. Thishome, when completed, will be oneof the prettiest in Bogalusa.

J. W. James will be the owner ofthe new five room bungalow onVirginia Ave., which will be modernand one of the best arraaged thathas been built this year.

Secretary Dobbs, of the BogalusaBuilding and Loan Association, re-ports that there are a number ofpeople who will build during thenext few months and that the out-look for building is the best sincehe has been connected with theorganization. "The liberal plans weoffer makes it just as easy for a manto own his own home as payingrent. At the end of a few years hewill own the property instead of aibatch of recients. Some peoplethink that we just say that for a"catch" but I am ready to convincethe most skeptical that we will builda home and make the paymentscheaper than rent."

Obiturary

"Though he were dead yet shall helive." John 11-25.

On Sunday night. Oct. 31, agloom was cast over the entirecommunity, for the Angel of death' had taken from our midst our dear

beloved sister, Davie Day. daughterof William and Judith Ann Cothernand wife of B. W. Day.

On Monday she was followed toher last resting place in ProvidenceCemetery by sorrowing relativesand friend. Rev. E. Dunaway of-ficating at the grave. It seemsShard that one being only thirty-sixyears of age and so full of lifeshould be taken away, but God hada place in one of the many man-sions our Savior has gone to pre-

Spare. "that none could fill butprecious Davie. Weeping husbandand children, morn not for youridol, God in his wisdom and powerordereth all things for the best."She has gone forever from thisearth, but, "is at home in heavenwhere parting comes no more."

None knew her but to love her,we miss her happy presence fromhome and church and, as we shedtears o'er her grave, let us be in-fluenced by her upright character,resolving to lead better lives so asto meet her on that shore of eternalbappiness.

To the grief striken family, wetender our heartfelt sympathy andremind them:We watched her breathing through the

night

Her breathing soft and lowAs 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.
