FRANCISYILLE LYCEUM COURSE NEXT ATTRACTION DECEMBER 22 International Entertainers Mr. O. T. Mande, the famous magi cian, has had years of experience with mystic art. His performance is unique in its presentation, being different from, and far superior to the average magical entertainment. His wonderful impersonation of the famous Chinese Magician, "Ching Ling Foo" in his unusual and mystifying illusions, will evoke astonishment. His well-executed tricks and his clever and witty talk, well tinctured with refined humor, will delight the most exacting. Mr. George C. Staples, the noted cartoonist of the Chicago Institute, is an exceptionally talented and versatile artist. Not only does he entertain with his highly iastructive and amusing chalk talk, landscape sketches, comedy cartoons, and cartoons of local cele brities in the audience, but he gives musical monologues at the piano and is a ventriloquist of great ability. WHEN THE LIEUT.-GOVERNOR SPEAKS. It is hardly necessary to urge the citizens of the several vicinities to attend the meeting held among them, when Lt.-Gov. Barret speaks.

A. WINN. Again the somber Angel of Death has visited our community. This time he claimed as his own, our popular and beloved citizen, Louie A. Winn. Though born in New Orleans, he was reared in Tunica, and spent most of his life here. He left a wife, two little girls, aged thirteen months and seven years respectively, four brothers, one sister, and a wide circle of friends to mourn his departure. Possessing a kind, patient, gentle disposition, and a tender, sympathetic nature, ever will ing to share the griefs and burdens of others, he wound himself about the hearts of all who knew him. It has been said of him, that no one ever heard one word spoken to his discredit. Not only did his loved ones and friends grieve at losing him, but the writer heard different persons comment on the fact that even the colored popula tion bowed their heads in sorrow when they learned that he had passed away. It seems so hard that his spirit could not linger in its mortal frame and mingle with us longer, but God knows what is best, and beyond the mists and gloom of the present grief that fills the hearts of those who loved him so well, it will yet be seen that God in His love has even ordered this sad event for some unforeseen and eternal good. As his spirit was nearing the shores of eternity, he said this: "Looking over my past life, I don't remember any real wicked thing I have ever done." What a legacy to leave behind! He confess ed a love for his Savior, and said he was praying, and trusting in God's grace and love. By this we feel assured that his spirit is with his Maker, God. To his grief-stricken wife, to whom he beckoned to go with him, as he was leaving her, we extend our heartfelt sympathy, and to her we would say, Let that beckoning hand draw you on to that fairer land, and one day, tho' he cannot come to you, you can go to him, and you two can be reunited, never again to part.

A Cog in the Wheel With soil as good as the best, people as honest, intelligent, energetic and wide-awake as any (true Americans), climatic conditions ideal for farming and stock raising; all that is necessary to make West Feliciana Parish one of the first in the State is persistent, combined and concerted effort on the part of her citizenship and the realization of the benefits derived from patronizing home institutions.
