We don't want to be considered

know what has become of that project
to build a platform or a pavillion on
our public square; also, why don't the
town push the sidewalk project to a

measures are very muoh needed for
our town, and ought to be pushed
p-rsistnltly and vigorously until they
are secured.

An Agricultural Fair
In many sections of the State
I agricultural fairs are being held.
These fairs are under the directions
of the Bureau of Agriculture and
Immigration. In the parishes where
they have been held the greatest
good has been done. They have
educated the agriculturists in the
more advanced methods of farming,
have stimulated them to strive to out
do one another in the yield and the
quality of their products, and have
proven the best incentives to reach
the goal of their ambition. To make
two blades of grass grow where one
grew before. "All the products of
1 the farm and plantation are there
exhibition and their cultivation ex,
plained; the dairy, the orchard, the
garden, etc, are all represented by
the "best the lands affords." and a
spirit of emulation is created which is
productive of the greatest good.

All Saints and All Souls Days
The feasts of All Saints and All
Souls were celebrated here last week
with impressive ceremonies. On
those days the Catholic church gather
its members together to do honor to
their beloved dead. Beautiful and
solemn is custom to set apart days in
commemoration of those who have
preceeded us to the eternal borne be.
' yond the skies. As prayers asceud
on high and sweet flowers are scat
tered over the graves of the dead, the
memory of their many good deeds are
re ecalled, man's transitory sojourn on
earth is vividly impressed upon the
mind, and the path through ways of
righteousness clearly pointed out for
the christian to follow. It is our
duty to remember the dead, and of
b such great importance is this held that
the Catholic church has centuries ago
e recognized it by devoting those days
in honor and commemoration of
them.
There is nothing which purifies the
mind more than the silent communion
with the dead. As we stand over the
grave of father or mother, wife or
D child, and pay the only tribute to
e their memory which is in our power,
ewhat are the thoughts which crowd
f the mind, what are the emotions which
fill the heart? To review their sweet
and holy lives to look through the
vista of years and recall each kind
act, each good deed, creats a feeling I
that we are in their very presence
again, and the tears that dim the eyes.
anul the throbs that move the heart,
assure u~ that the love we bore them
I is sti.i alive. The religious spirit in
.which this tribute, this veneration for
the dead, is observed, makes its im
portance greater. No feasts on the
colendar of the Catholic church is t
mare sacredly kept by the faithful than
All Saints and All Souls Days.
The Cheapest Thing is Life.

1 Will it not remain cheap as long as
e the pulpit and press maintains its
present attitude of silence and indif
ference to crime? Are we of the

e jourualism. when making excuses in

Do we not know that when criminals I

a change will soon come, b ,t the duty
of impressing upon the minds of our I
people the decree of the Almighty
issued upon Mount Sinai "thou shalt

pit, while the suppression of practices
which lead to the escape of the guilty 7
is the duty of the press. Let the pul,
