May Live 100 Years. The chances for living a full century are ex- cellent in the case of Mrs. Jennie Duncan, of Haynesville, Mo.. now 70 years old. Shewrites: "Electric Bitters cured me of chronic dyspepsia of 20 years' standing, and made me feel as well and strong as a young girl."

Pries oat 50 Cets, 3 That the business affairs of the pop- t ular and progressive Peoples Bank of 9 Donaldsonville are in first-class shape is evidenced by the condensed state- ment of the condition of the thriving young institution at the close of busi- ness Dec. 31, 1906, which appears else- where in today's Chief. Mr. and Mrs. M. Tobias entertained a number of their friends at an elegant dinner on New Year's day. The table was attractively decorated with rare and beautiful flowers, and a tempting menu was faultlessly served.

No attempt was made to hold a for- mal meeting of the Ascension Club on Wednesday, but it was agreed by the members present that a general meet- ing shall be held on the first Wednes- day of February for the purpose of 3 considering the condition of the club 3 and discussing such amendments to f the rules as may be necessary to re- vive interest in the organization and increase its active membership. An interesting meeting of the join) school committee of the police jury, town council and parish school board was held at the courthouse Monday afternoon with 'Hon. G. B.

Sandy Truxillo, the hustling junior member of the popular livery firm of Rodriguez & Truxillo, has returned from St. Louis, where he purchased as fine a lot of horses and mules as has ever been brought to Donaldsonville. The animals arrived this week and are now on exhibition at the Dexter stables in Railroad avenue, where they can be inspected by all lovers of good horse and mule flesh, whether prospective purchasers or not.

Howard of lsband, Pennsylvania. "At t ime3 she was unabiei 1ii.xV.a ,l!. while at all times walk- itg was painful. I wf b A of Chamberlain's Pain Balm and after a few applications she decided it was the most won- derful pain reliever she',had ever tried; in fact, she is never without it now and is at all times able to walk. An occasional application of Pain Balm keeps away the pain that she was formerly troubled with." For sale by all druggists. A very satisfactory test of the water- works system was made Thursday afternoon in the presence of Sol. K. Bloodworth and Morris D. Pierce, representing the Louisiana Fire Pre- vention Bureau, of New Orleans. The result of the test, with reference to its bearing on the proposed reduction of insurance rates in this town, will be made known in a report to be sub- mitted to Mayor Maurin by Messrs. Bloodworth and Pierce withiu the next few days. After an interregnum of eleven days, caused by a combination of Satur- days, Sundays and holidays, the pub- lic schools throughout the parish resumed the work of the session Thursday morning, but it will be some time yet before the attendance of pu- pils reaches the average which ob- tained prior to Christmas. All of the schools are in excellent condition, and that this satisfactory state of affairs will be maintained throughout the remainder of the session there js little room for doubt.

Leon Picard and Louis Geismar, who comprise the well-known mercan- tile firm of Picard & Geismar, were presented with handsome silver loving cups last Sunday evening, the 30th ult., as tokens of the esteem and ad- miration in which they are held by their employees. The presentation speech was made by Leon Newman, manager of the Pidard & Geismar establishment at Geismar, and the surprised recipients responded with a few words of sincere thanks and ap- preciation, after which liquid refresh- ments were produced and the contin- ued health and happiness of Messrs. Picard and Geismar were pledged in numerous bumpers of sparkling wine. A delegation of about forty members of Ascension Council No. 1087, Knights of Columbus, paid a New Year's visit to the residence of John F. Park last Tuesday evening and presented Mr. Park's son, Rev. Ed- ward F. Park, C. M., vice president of the Holy Trinity College at Dallas, Texas, with a beautiful gold-headed, silk umbrella as a token of the esteem and respect in which he is held by the members of the council and his fellow- townsmen in general. District Attorney G. A. Gondran, lecturer of Ascension Council, made the presentation speech, and Father Park, who is the possessor of a nimble tongue and a ready wit, responded with characteristic aptness and eloquenes. Methodist Christmas Tree. The children of the local Methodist Sunday school were given a Christmas tree and festival at Hotel ackson last Saturday evening by the Methodist Ladies' Society, and the affair was one of the merriest and most successful that has taken place in this community for years. The large and spacious dining-room of the hotel, in which the happy event was held, had been beautifully and appropriately deco- rabed for the occasion by Mrs. Geo. F. Linesetter, of Thibodaux, and in its center stood an immense Christmas tree literally laden with toys, can- dies and other good things. The ceremonies were opened by Rev. C. D. Atkinson, of Plaquemine, who eloquently addressed the children on the significance of Christmas and its meaning to the Christian world, then followed prayers by Rev. E. P. Craddock, of the local Methodist church, after which the children sang "I Will Be a Sunbeam," music being furnished by Miss Odile Cook. A de- licious lunch, consisting of turkey sandwiches, cakes, chocolate and bon- bons, was then served, and at its con- clusion merry Kris Kringle, faithfully depicted by Jasmin Tobias in a flow- ing red velvet robe and with long white hair and beard, made his ap- pearance and the hearts of eighty happy children were gladdened by his generosity and kind word's. When the presents had been distributed-each child receiving a toy and a basket of candy-there was merry-making until 10 o'clock p. m., when all joined in singing "Home, Sweet Home" and then wended their way homeward, delighted with the evening's entertainment. The toys and candy for the tree were donated by Jasmin Tobias and the Texas Fuel Oil Co., respectively, while Capt. W. E. Perkins of the steamer Lone Star and the Donaldsonville Bottling Co., Ltd., furnished the turkeys and liquid refreshments, and these, together with Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, are to be com- plimented upon their open-heartedness in contributing to an occasion that will long be remembered by the chil- dren-small and large-who had the gcod fortune to be present. Theatrical Notes. Richmond P. H 9 bson, congress- man-elect from Alabamia, delivered a masterly lecture at the Gondran thea- ter last Sunday night on the subject, "Peace on Earth," and it is to be re- gretted that the gifted speaker was greeted by so small an audience. Monday night "The Denver Ex- press," a melo-drama of the most lurid type, held the boards at the new play-house and thrilled a fair-sized audience. "The Way of the Maid" was pre- sented by local amateurs Thursday night for the benefit of the high school gymnasium fund. It is salad hi the performance was quite successful. Donnelly & Hatfield's so-called "Magnificent Minstrels" appeared at the Gondran theater last night and put 'up a performance that was de- cidedly poor from start to finish. The jokes were old, the costumes dingy and the songs painful, and the comedy (?) sketch which brought the tiresome show to a close was horse- play of the rankest character. The popular Olympia Opera Com- pany will open a return engagement tomorrow afternoon, and it may be taken for granted that all the perform- ances will be witnessed by large audi- ences. The matinee bill will be "La Mascotte," with "Said Pasha" to- morrow night, "The Mikado" Mon- day night and "Olivette" Tuesday night. The prices of admission' for this attraction are 25, 35, 50 and 75 cents. The Dixie Dramatic Club, of Thibo- daux, will present the beautiful drama, "A Righted Wrong," at the Gondran theater on the afternoon of Sunday, Feb. 3, for the benefit of the Ladies' Prompt Succor Association, of New Orleans. Meeting of Bank Directors. The board of directors of the Bank of Donaldsonville met in monthly ses- sion at 10 o'clock Wednesday fore- noon and received a highly satisfac- tory report of the condition of the in- stitution from the cashier and the dis- count and finance committees. At the close of business Monday, Dec. 31, the aggregate deposits amounted to $519,748, which is high-water mark, and the capital and surplus, less ex- penses, footed up $120,941, with a total business volume of $719,842. Both these amounts show a material in- crease over those of a year ago, which is an unexpected result in view of the great shortage in the sugar crop, the main agricultural resource of this sec- tion. The usual semi-annual dividend was declared, payable on and after Monday next. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the bank, for the purpose of electing a board of direct- ors, is to be held at 11 o'clock a. m. Wednesday, Jan. 9. An enjoyable New Year's frolic took place Tuesday evening at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Prosper Rodriguez, in Faubourg la Pipe, with the following young people participating: Misses Irene and Mary Michel, Althea For- tier, Beatrice Mathieu, Maud, Hazel and Hilda LaVille, Rena and Kate Landry, Jeanne Constantin, Bertha Dalferes, Anna and Jeanne Rodriguez and Adele Breaux; Lionel .Bourgeois, Joe Blum, Simon Kahn, Elmo Duke, Vernon Sims, Henry Dalferes, Geo. Gullatta, Emmett Mire, Henry Hun- ley, Fred. Rogge, George and Edward Lambert, Richard St. Martin and Sam. Rodriguez. Rural Lodge Elects Officers. Rural Lodge No. 103, I. O. O.
