TWICE A WEEK, $2.00 A YEAR VICTIMS OF FLOOD FACING STARVATION 1500 IN LOUISIANA MUST HAVE FOOD SOON Every Agency Busy in Extreme Crisis ? - ? I ? ? /N . O Many isolated communities completely Surrounded by Water New Orleans, April 29.?Reports from Harrisonburg, La., late today that the 1,000 residents of that town ' in addition to 500 refugees from Catahoula, Concordia and other flooded ! parishes in that section face starva-1 tion unless food supplies arrive speed- i ily have greatly intensified the gravity of the flood situation and every ^ agency is tonight trying to overcome , the difficulty f transporting supplies t.r> thp stricken Deoole. The most serious phase of the i flood situation is in northern Louis-, ? j iana this time, aside from the danger i of continually rising waters, is that of Ihreatened food shortage. Many j isolated*communities have been com-1 pletely surrounded by water and res- ( idents forced to depend upon the , small stocks of food on hand when , flood waters rushed through the break near Ferriday. Countless numbers are livintr on canned products that they are securing from community grocers, but reports from some sections indicate there are other communities not so fortunately placed and that many people are very little ahead of starvation. In many isolated farm houses, where residents have remained in their marooned or flooded hones, there is very little, if anything, to eat. With depleted stocks of food reported from all refuged camps in the ' Louisiana flooded area, and a real. - - " i r.. crisis existing at narnsourg, xeiugee workers today expressed the be- i lief that those who remained in their flood swept homes may in the long run be better off than those concentrated in the refugee camps, unless some means * of reaching the camp with provisions is found without delay. # I CRAZED BY JEALOUSY SHOOTS UP A HOUSE RARTY Mamie Robnison a dusky damsel of the town became very jealous because her man Jule Garrett had failed to come home for a few evenings, and she thought he was lavishing attentions upon another, even though that other had a real husband living. So it seems that on last Thursday evening Jule was enjoying a house party at the home of Hattie Gates nnrf that there were oresent at the party besides Hattie, Rufus Farmer, Jule Garrett and Will Abrams, and they were all sitting around a table enjoying the evening in pleasant conversation. 11; fr?*t we believe the evidence is that they were sitting down enjoying a meal. At any rate Mamie heard of it and she armed herself with a good magazine gun and proceeded to the party herself. When she arrived she called to Jule to come out and he replied that he would not. Mamie then gave warning that if he would not she would shoot the door down and she proceeded to carry out her warning and in response to the shots the door swung open and Mamie entered, keeping up her shooting. Jule jumped up from the table and started back '" fUn vnr\m Kilt o C Via WPTlt Ill HIT UCW I wut k/MV uo 4?v V. V .. w caught one of the balls from Mamie's pistol in his hip. Mamie then turned her magazine upon Hattie Gates, the proprietor of the home, the wound being in the abdomen and a very seriuos one. It is stated that as Mamie turned on Hattie that Hattie held up her hands and begged her not to shoot. Hattie was taken to the hospital and -Jule is not seriously hurt and Mamie will be held in jail until the court meets.

NEWBERRY LUMBER COMPANY PLANT DESTROYED BY FIRE One of, the biggest fires that New- l Derry has had in a long time took place last Friday when the plant of J the Newberry Lumber company was iestroyed. The fir,e started around 1 two o'clock and was first discovered in the pile of shavings that are | I :nro\vn off from- tfee machines :u the manufacture. JlW'tiot Inrown. how the fire started, whether from a j ipark from the iBiigine of tft?? plant - J? i or irom some ui>uu avuiso) uut juvw probably from the spark fro& the engine.. 1 The fire department did some mighty fine work, for it was naturally a hot and a quick fire, the large /hjj jile of shavings that always accunju ate around such a plant and the big ailes of lumber being a ready and sasy mark for the flames. The office building and the storeroom weffc saved. So the company has'the rec3rds and books intact and this might lave been worse. "* ^5 The loss is estimated at not over - >1 $10,000 with only a small insurance B )n one machine. It can not be estimated accurately until it is found |e iow much damage has been done the $jj nnrhinprv ? ? >' The company was planning to move ;he plant to their own lot on the railroad where the old Cline shop once stood and had a new boiler and engine on the road and they Will go at )nce to the work of building and will ?o riffht on as if there had been ho 5 ire. This plant is one of the big a?ets )f Newberry and we could scarcely jet along without it. It will take a few days to get the new machinery in shape but business will go right on S ininterruptedly and any one want- ' 1 ng anything in the line that is han- $ iled by the company may send the jraers rignt aiong ana iney win nave ;he same prompt and efficient service :or which this company has been not id since it opened for business in ; 'J dewberry.
