SEtra Large Cabbage.
ex- Recently the New Orleans Item
ring contained an article telling of what
-ondi- was probably the largest cabbage tic
anum in the world, which was raised at he
regate Jefferson, La., weighing 15
pounds.
r Mr. Eusebe Ledet, living just
d and southeast of this city, raised one F
ofthe that will beat it. This one weighed
19 pounds. The circumference of
etc., thelhead proper of the cabbage was
at will 23 inches, and from edge to edge
neral) across the cabbage was 37 inches.
SThis cabbage was not totally solid,
__ and was the only one that was so
large out of the bunch that Mr.
Ledet raised. ,
There are many articles that are
raised all over this parish that are
above the average, and there are
some that are never brought to the
notice of the public.
Just Ay Old Way.
? The Cabs, after the game
between the Tigers and Royville
last Sunday, played a sort of a
practice sgame with the Tigers,
although they were supposed to
have played the winning team, but
the winners were not anximous to
tackle them. The practice game
Swith the Tigers resulted in a most
e benecialt running exercise, using
bh the base ball diamond for the run
nine course. The pitcher was
starter; the estcher was stopper,
sad la yet the time keeper res s
been a-tar.
Patron's Day Observed. S A
Tuesday was patronsI day at the
high school. and there were many
who visited the schools, where
they \iewed the work of the dif
ferent grades.
The scieice note bhooks and
drawings were very interesting,
and the work of the 1913 termt1
showedl a very gxl gain over that
of the three 1;rvcious .ear1. And
there is a vast aiiouint of intst et
ing things that the children of the
Sschools have done, and the teachers
Sare deserving of great credit for
the excellent work they are ac
Scomplishing.
" Great work is being accom
plished in the domestic science de
Spairtment, under the direction of
.. Miss Sadie Spruill.
Ps Parents cannot realize what
' their children are really accomplish- C 0
s inug under these teachers without
paying a visit there themuselves, i:'
a; and we understand that there are
k, not tiuanv parents that visit them.
ie Patrons are always welcome and
should visit the schools, as it puts
new energy into the children, as
ie I well as the teachers.

10 So the fact remains that we are

animal is so young that the meat
is simply unfit for the use of men.
