The petition recites that according s1 to the statement, the country parishes w are assessed at $294,373,526, and the hi city or parish of Orleans at $231,045, 937 and that as per the present assess ment the country will pay $106,639.80 1i per year, or $1,066,398 in ten years, b and New Orleans $173,284.45 per year, it or in ten years, $1,732,844.50. It, states further that the interest on these bonds will be $280,000 per year, p or just about equal the amount of the tax paid in each year, so that at the tl end of ten years the State will still , owe the tax six and one-half million dollars at 4 per cent -interest bonds, which by the act the parish of Or- 1 leans proposes to pay. The sentiment c is divided on this question of taxa- v ition, and the promoters of this peti tion declare that they will push it through. We are not opposing the Expos ition tax amendment as we believe t it is worth the outlay to have it held in New Orleans, but we be lieve that eventually the whole S- State will have the debt to pay, it is well for us to understand this xbefore we vote the tax.

[Communicated.] The writer had his attention we called to a very attractive exhibi- re4 tion of corn in the window of the ail Peoples' Hardware & Furniiture ha Co. store. co There was olie objectionable do feature, however, that marred the sp beauty and impaired the effect of to this cereal display. In two in- de stances, at least, deception was Si practiced and a false impression hq was hiade. It seems needless to br say that whatever is put on exhibi- re tion for inspection as the fruits of we industry or the products of skill should be so displayed as to make of no false show and to conceal no vc real defects or blemishes. They YQ should appear as they are and wi should rest upon their intrinsic wl worth. This is essential to real as honesty. th We know that no one concerned th in the case to which reference has to been made, saw anything wrong in br it, and that the object was simply m to attract attention, to create sur- a. prise and to have a little fun. in But when wie come to consider gi the matter thoughtfully, however well-meant it may have been, there tt is clearly a moral principle under- te lying it, which is evil in itself and B corrupting in its tendency, and gi which, if encouraged and given free scope, is sure to lead to decep- ti tion and fraud of a high criminal character. The well-meant hoax may amount to nothing more than transient fun to those whose ex tl hibits are correct and well estab- d lished, but it is a dangerous pre- l( cedent to set before youth, who, 16 ' under the most favorable condi tions, will be strongly tempted a along this line. Let us see to it g that, in presenting incentives to industry, and skill, we do not 8 - pander to craftiness and deceit. - a L. W. V.

Trichel, cashier of the Con- f; tinental Bank and Trust Company, c was at his desk yesterday after a a two weeks' vacation, which he a spent principally in West Texas,g accompanied by his friend Trim mell Harrison, of the B1. & B. department of the Texas & Pacific t Railway. SHe said he visited Dallas, Fort - Worth, E1Paso and other Texas Spoints, and made trips to Cloud croft, New Mexico, and Juarez, Iexico, taking in a big bull fight Sin the latter place. Texas is a Sgreat country with most aggressi ve a people, and in spite of another Svery bad drouththis year over many portions of the State, many d improvements are under way, good n roads being one of the main items, 11 but this is the second year of dry weather over there, and a great many people, who could, pulled up i- and left the State, and agreat Le many more wou4 if they could. d "I never get out of Louisiana y and return without being profound-. le ly impressed with the idea that we. it have by far the greatest State in - the 'South if not in the United k, States ini point of'natural resources, ie and now that the tide is beginning to turn in our direction, I firmly believe that we are on the eve of: a i great era of improvement and ex oe pansion. Our own people don't half appreciate our resources and re advantages. If they did, our ima , provement: would come faster. nt Louisiana certaiDly looks good to anyone who has spent a-week or so in West Texas, and Shreveport is ts undoubtedly the best and fastest ry growing city of her size in this Spart of the United States."

Ournew school building, which we mentioned in our last letter, is receiving its last coat of paint aithough Contractor R. 3. Briley has not finished building on ac count of not getting someo extra doors and windows which were special orders We have hae laned to seat the building with single desks which have been ordered. Supt. Mixon and ex-Supt. Moss have promised to dedicate the building as soon as we can get ready, which will" be some two weeks yet. Our next step will be to clear off about an acre of land and con vert it into an agricultural farm. When we get ready for this work we will look forward for a teacher who can teach this branch as well as other branches connected with the literary schools, Teachers, I think here is a real good thought for you. There is one of the brightest futures before the young man who has or would cultivate agricultural work of anything I have in mind, and yet how few are grasping the idea. There is not a qualified boy in the State, all of our agricultural teachers are from other States. Boys, I would stop a moment and get busy. Our teacher, Hugh Smith, con tracted for a 9 months term and he is one of those hard hitters, too. We have preaching once a month and Sunday school twice. Mlr. Cas Moss was with us last third Sunday and delivered a Sun- Ja day school lecture which will be ho long remembered and much good u is expected. A Sunday school celebration will be held the early part of next year and Mr. Moss will head the pro gram. Our teacher spent Saturday and Sunday at Verda, I suspect there are some pretty girls down that way. o We don't want to forget to men- N tion that Hugh's parents and sis ters spent third Sunday with us p' and had an enjoyable trip.
