Boyd, representing the i piano house of Steger and Co. of Chicago, will take tilhis entire t section for his territory, not on . ly soliciting, but tuning pianos d and putting them in perfect or V der. He comes highly recom e mended from former employers, I a whom he left to enjoy a change £' from Georgia to l ouisiana.

Wickliffe, candi date for Congress from the Sixth n District, was a visitor to the par- 1 ish during the latter part of last c week. While in Springfield he a spent the night at the home of d the editor and interviewed as s man.y of the citizens as possible. t Mr. Wickliffe is making a vigo- t rous campaign and seems to be t leaving a very favorable impres sion wherever he goes.-Livings- v ton Times. t Mr. Sam Carter's "Wander- t lust" entertained a party of young people in a delightful boat ride, Saturday evening. Misses k Bessie Leake, Mary Fluker, Oriana Pillet, Belle Barrow, Caro Davis and Messrs. Carter, Bart- a less, Elwyn Barrow, Richard Butler and Dr. Babin composed the party. On their return they were treated to delicious refresh I ments at Mrs. Sidney Powell's home. Other terra firma guests r were the Misses Fischer and ) Chas. Percy. It is pleasant to know that our popular sheriff, J. H. Clack, will soon purchase a home in the sub urbs of St. Francisville, and he will thus be near the Court House, and his family will be I able to join more in the social life of the town. n Mrs. A. F. Barrow has a night s blooming cereus with 22 buds all of which will open at the same time very soon. A never failing interest seems to linger around r this flower, as a certain mystery attaches to its bloom. K. C.

Pharr of New Iberia, who will sail for New York on the next trip of the Momus. The party will extend their tour to Canada. Ancel Ard has returned from his vacation and his bright face may again be seef behind the grating (where they keep their valuables) at the People's Bank. During Cashier Smith's absence, young Ard will "hold down" the place, as he informs us, with the assistance and supervision of the bank president, Judge Leake. This is a position of trust and re sponsibility reflecting credit up 1on his character and ability. Notice to Owners of Dogs. I will be out Monday collecting dog license.

Ard are still with i her. Latest advices are that she is sinking. i Miss Almena Kilbourne will teach at Pine Grove, East Felici ana, next session. Address to W. F. Chapter, U. D. C. Sepa West Feliciana Chapter had no meeting, Wednesday afternoon. Thr This is regrettable as new offi- tice cers should be elected, and other was n affairs of the chapter put in or- We tl der. In fact, a concerted effort tion t should be made to revive the in- Hendt terest in this work, which has that been appareotly languishing for exami the past year. house I use the word, apparently, Thi with intention, because assured compl that the interest in and venera- made tion for the Lost Cause is a fire, ing of that may be choked and covered for th with the ashes of other inter- of bot ests, but which will always burn bly o brightly again when occasion de- super mands it. Should a veteran need ately assistance, should his name or ness 1 the great cause be maligned, It c then it would quickly be seen the e: how hotly the coals of love and the it devotion burn in each bosom, slect that wears the U.

West Feli- F. T ciana is too rich in historical me- H mentoes and associations not to liffe have these perpetuated. This is hav( a work to engage parish pride as eves well as respect for Confederate dist veterans. this As present president of the A (hapter I plead with the mem- b)ee bership to take fresh heart in his this work. My own private busi- ert ness,-losses suffered and extra bui work entailed-has prevented, frog and will prevent, my own great ma, activity in this work, but others more fortunate in leisure should step in and take it up. I plead for more capable hands to go on son with what has been begun. Let K. a good working force get togeth- ret er at the next meeting, elect such h new officers as may be necessary per and take up the work, to which anc all are devoted, with a new ener- the gy and consecration. I beg this, for the sake of the wa veterans among us, those dear Pre - old soldiers on whom the sunset hel of life is lingering in glorifying ma Sbeams. It is saddening to them we h- to see the interest in their histo- of k. ry lapse, even apparently. Think ne: you not that the sad question r- will come to them, "If these is ia Daughters forget us now, while , we are yet with them, what guar- ha on antee have we that their memory ha 'of us shall extend to the time ur When all of us have joined the hosts beyond?" ro m Such a question would be nat- or ce ural enough in the present cir- di he cumstances.

The same is true of eggs. Separate Places For Examination of Teachers. Through inadvertance the no tice for teachers' examinations was not corrected in last issue. We therefore call special atten tion to the change which Supt. Hendon has made, and that is, that colored applicants will be examined at the colored school house. This is as it should be. Much complaint and criticism were made on account of the appoint ing of a common meeting-place for the examination of teachers of both races. This was proba bly only an oversight, on the superintendent's part, immedi ately apparent, hence his readi ness to make the change. It devolves some extra labor on the examiners, but is so much the more desirable in other re spects, that it cannot be ques tioned. Remember there will be Sun day School in St. Francisville, Sunday at 9:45 a. m. and in Star Hill church af 10 a. in. and preaching in Star Hill church at 11 a. m. and preaching in St. Francisville church at s p. in. The members are expected to be present and all others are cor dially invited to attend these services. E. L. CAuGIlL, P. C. G. S. Davidson went to Wood ville, this week as a witness in a. suit F. T.
