Leger, Adelma Guidry and "Minick" Prejean, the all-wool and-a-yard-wide White Suprem acists of Coulee Creche, were shak ing hands with friends here Tues day. Trilby No. 2. The chrysanthemum is the friz zled cock of the walk in Opelousas as well as in other places. It is as popular as Trilby, and about as meritorous. A fellow is not dress ed a la mode unless he has a grin ning, frizzled chrysanthemum pin ned to the lapel of his coat. The pretty violet, the blushing rose, the sweet-scented jasmin, have all taken a back seat and given the place to a thing that looks more like a frizzled chicken stuck at the end of a green stick than it does a. flower. Thanksgiving. Nothing unusual occurred here on that day. A few turkeys were slaughtered, and that's about all. Thanksgiving day is a matter of custom only, as far as the National obs(ervance of it is concerned. It was originally confined to the New England States, and has become a national institution only since 1862. Thanks, Mlr. Vfilauseca. Our thanks are due to Mr. M. Vilaseca, the veteran fish dealer, for a fine Thanksgiving red fish. Mr. Vilaseca sells fish, crabs, shrimps and oysters, besides his grocery business, and that every thing is first-class everybody knows. Cotton Gin Darned. On Thursday night of last week the cotton gin of Mr. AlcinVidrine, situated in Grand Prairie, was des troyed by fire. The frequency of these fires render them suspicious, and it is believed by some that in cendlaries are at work. He Knows aHis Business. If you wish to eat good oysters in any style, call on the old veteran oyster man and lightning opener, Morris Vilaseca, opposite the Market house. He has been in the business for 25 years, and thorough ly understands his business.

Since then we have heard at least two worthy members of Honorable Body express themselves as favor ing an $8,000.00 appropriation in t heir budget next month, for edu cational purposes, and we have no doubt the other members will see the people's interests in the same light. The Police Jury certainly could not spend the people's money to a greater advantage than by afford ing them the necessary facilities for educating their children, and no expenditure of the public funds could meet with more general ap proval. The people throughout the entire parish are clammering for schools, and the School Board is unable to gratify them for lack of funds. The only hope for im proving and extending our ineffi cient system is through the Police Jury, and it is to that body the people must turn their eyes and direct their appeals. The School Board has done all in its power to make an equitable distribution of the funds at their command, and it is no fault of theirs if there was not enough to go around. We hope, and believe, the Police Jury will do the right thing next month. STATE TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION. The Association of Public School Teachers will meet in the City of Batpn Rouge on December 28th, and it is to be hoped St. Landry will be well represented there. An interesting program has been ar ranged. Some of .the most dis tinguished educators in this and adjoining States will address the teachers on subjects of vital inter est to their profession, and all should attend who can possibly do so. We would like to see our teach ers in the front ranks in the great battle against ignorance. Make your preparations, teach ers, and go to the meeting. It will be a pleasant and profitable way of spending part of your Xmas vaca tion. THE EDUCATION OF GIRLS. David Starr Jorden, President of Leland Stanford University, is a strong beleiver in high education for young women, and we quite agree with this eminent educator when he says: "To be wise and at the same time womanly is to wield a tremendous influence which may be felt for good in the lives of generations to come. It is not forms of govern ment by which men are made or unmade. It is the character and influence of their mothers and their wives. The higher education of women means more for the future than all conceivable legislative re forms. And its influence does not stop with the home. It means higher standards of manhood, greater thoroughness of training, and the coming of better men. Therefore let us educate our girls as well as our boys. A generous education should be the birthright of every daughter of the republic as well as of every son." We notice that Judge Cullom's night school will give a public ex hibition about December 4th. We have no doubt such an entertain ment will prove highly interesting to the people, as the Judge's school is composed of rare and racy pupils. The institution is conducted on the methods and principles which were in vogue a hundred years ago, and it will afford a good opportunity to observe the manner in which our forefathers acquired mental deve lopment.

The most exciting incident we tave had in our school room was resterday morning (Tuesday) when voe discovered fire;bour flue was de ective, and as the morning was a old one, we made a large, glow ng fire and all were enjoying same, Lnd quietly studying, and a class if English History was at recita ion, when the flame was discover d.
