The Natchitoches Times June 19, 1912 FOR JUDGE In our regular announcement column appears a notice fot he candidacy of Mr. N. T. Smith for the position of District Judge. Mr. Smith is a native fo this parish and has resided among us all his life. Until he was twenty years of age he farmed, then moved to Robeline where he worked in a drugh store and put in his spare hours reading law under the direction of Mr. I. F. Carter. Subsequently he came to Natchitoches and completed his studies in the office of Cunningham & Tucker, being admitted to practice after standing his examination before the Surpreme Court. Mr. Smith has practiced law for twenty years. By his patient attention to business he has succeeded above the average lawyer. For a time he was in co- partnership with John M. Tucker and for a number of years practiced with the editor under the firm name of Cunningham & Smith. Since the dissolution of that firm he has been associtated with M. L. Dismukes in the practice. If the judgeship of this district is entrusted to his hands it will be safe and his many friends will appreciate the honor.

The Natchitoches Times Feb 12, 1909 Sheriff Freeman has reported to the Governor that there were twelve insane persons confined in the parish jail during the year 1908. Their time aggregated 999 days and cost the parish $451.35. An effort will be made by the State to relieve the parishes of the burden of caring for these unfortunates. The asylums have been too full to accommodate all the insane of the State and some had to be confined in jails.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING The Natchitoches Times May 01, 1903 While out hunting on Black Lake last week Messrs. P. C. Rogers and Morris Aaron came near meeting with a fatal accident. When a mile from shore the boat began to leak and fill rapidly. Fortunately a tree was near, which they reached just as the boat sank. They climbed in the tree where they remained till their cries brought help from the camp. Which one was more eager to climb in the tree or who called the louder it is hard to decide.

BASEBALL GAME Town vs Normal The Natchitoches Times April 24, 1903 The Town and the Normal baseball teams crossed bats last Friday evening on the campus in front of the Normal. The work, the first few innings was rather poor, but both teams finding that they had their work cut out for them, began to tighten up, and the result was an interesting and well matched game. The game closed with the score, eleven to eight in favor of the town boys. The first few innings the advantage seemed to be with the Normal team but the overwhelming strength of a few of her best players turned the tide in favor of the town. Bath in the box and Tauzin behind the bat area a credit to any team. The Normal and twon boys together could combine a team of the very first quality.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Natchitoches Times July 02, 1909 Mink, La., June 27, 1909 Dear Editor: As I have seen nothing from Mink in some time, I would like our great law makers of the game law to know what the varments are doing for our stock. I put my calves out last night and this morning one was missing. I sent my son to hunt it and he returned in a few minutes relating that he had found where some varment had killed the calf. I called in a couple of my neighbors and we went and found the calf. We could not tell whether it was a panther or wolf that killed it. I wish our game warden would come down and take charge of these animals or I will kill them law or no law, for I expect to hunt from now on law or no law, warden or no warden. I expect to have plenty help also. Crops are very good in this section. Yours truly, P>M>
