'' WORTH TRYING.
Mr. EditorTo aa observer, it
appears that, of late years, the
teachers, of tbe Guion Academy,
have experfencecl much difficulty
in raising sufficient money to con
linue the sessiou of their school
after the funds, alloted by the
State aud Parish, have been ex
hausted. Although it is of uo per
souul interest to me, whether they
have trouble or not, as a citizen I
like to see anything tha^tends to
the development of the intellect
of the rising generation assisted
and encouraged ; to this cud, I
will suggest a plan of obtaining the
requisite amount of money, which,
iu my opinion, is reasonable and
will meet with a general appro
val.
For years, the teachers have had
a custom ot getting the tuouey ne
cessary by giving concerts nud
fairs. This year they gave two
concerts. Tbe oudieuce ou each oc
casion was so scant that, after all
the expenses, incurred by prepa
ring the coucerts, were defrayed,
there did not remain enough niouey
to pay the teachers for one month's
teaching. Now, therefore, it is
obvious to tbe judicious observer
that coucerts, as a means of procu
ring the funds needed, are too pre
carious and discouraging, # and for
those reasons the teachers will
have to abandon them and have re
course to menus of a more substan
tial basis for succor, 1 think, iu
view of attaining that end, that the
following plan would prove more
successful, and thereby iusure a
sessiou that would be remunerative
to the teachers, very beneficial to
the pupils add not expensive or em
barraasing to the pareuts; it is
this .-.'The parents, of each child,
attending the Guiou Academy, to
subscribe, annually, the sum of
two dollars.
T have been told that, dur
ing the sessiou, there is au at
tendance of from 125 to 150 chil
dren at the Guiou Academy. Now,
say that there wonUl be only 125
(Hipils and two dollars given tor
each one, by emnineratiori this
weald make a fund of $250, which
amount would be found amply
sufficient to run the school two
uiouihe,4hese added to the eight
mouths obtained by the taxes
would make a session often months,
ually, being the leogtb desired
IT
The
that
the reason that tbe parents will ob
jeet to comply with any such ar
rangement. Should they form a
conclusion of this nature, it is my
belief that they err in so doing, for
any parents that are desirous of
having their children educated,
will not, for the sake of two dollars
a year, have it impaired by the
diminution ot the school session.
To coulirm my belief that the pa
rents would not object to subscribe,
I have been told by several pareuts
that they would be very willing to
pay, tor their children, a reasonable
amount to help to extend the ses
sion of the school; now, when
some profter their assistance, in
this manner, without being asked,
it Is reasonable to infer that, were
they all requested to donate the
above specified som, they would
not hesitate to respond in a man
uer very gratifying to the teachers.
I think that all that is necessary of
the teachers is a littie energy, direc
ted towards this project, and they
wilt perceive that the futnre is
brighter than present cireomstan
ces indicate.
Trusting; Mr. Editor, that these
remarks will prove eflfectu^l, in
attaining the end desired, I re
main,
Yours Respectfully,

IN MEMORIAL.
Some time ago we missed from
onr midst, me of our most respec
ted and beloved citizens, in the per
son of Mr. Alphonse L. Ancoin.
His death cast a gloom over the
entire community and now bis de
voted wife, strickeu with grief and
sickness, has sneenmbed to the in
fluence ot that great destroyer—
death. She died; Wednesday, Jane
17th, 1885, regretted by all who
knew her.
As a ebristian, she did ber duty,
both to God and man ; she was pa
tient, loviug aud kind, to all who
knew her
Mrs. Aucoin leaver toor children
and many other relatives, to mourn
her loss.
As it has pleased the Almighty
in His great wisdom, to take away
a kind and affectionate mother
from ber dear and innocent chil
dren, and an amiable friend from
the poor, all we can do, to is pray
for her, and revere her memory.
Regrets for her sake are not in
place, for she is now at rest with
her Holy Father, guarded by His
otunipotentarin,and rendered imma
culute through His great mercy.
Her deeds of goodness will shine
foith as ornaments ou that great
day.
Let ns try to imitate ber pawnee
and follow ber amiable example to
meet her again, iu the great- be
yond, where all is joy and peace,
and where neither sickness uor sor
row can trouble ns more.

rounded by weeping parents, bus
band, children and friends.
On Monday, Jane 22, 1885, Mr.
Frank Hoffmau, 8r. - passed quietly

An Important Discovery. „ j
Tho most important Dist.-ov.ery is
that which brings the most good to the
greatest number. Dr. King's New
Discovery for Consumption, Coughs
and Colds, will preserve the health aud
save life, aud is a priceless boon to the i
afflicted. Not only does it positively!
care Consumption but doughs. Colds,
Bronchitis. Asthma, Hoarseness, and all
affections of the Tin oat. Chest, and
Lungs, yield at once to its wonderful
curative powers. If you doubt this
get a Trial Bottle Free, at Thiboduiis

Mr. Charles McD: Puckette, whu
was oue of the visiting members of
the Teachers' Institute, that visited
Thibodaux iu the early part of June
is now editor in chief of the able
and sterling Democratic sheet—
The Shreveport Times.
From his salutatory, we clip the
following, which has the ring of tbe
true metal *
National aud State issues are
now pressing for solution ; and ii is
the province and tho duty of tbe
press to shape these issues as best
it can to secure the greatest good
to the people. Tbe advent into
power of the Democratic party
should l»e the begiuuiug of a new
era iu this nation. The autocratic
ideas of the Republican party,
dwarfing the State and magnifying
the central government, have itn
pressed upou this people a species
of local helplessness that the Demo
eratic party cau do mnch to re
move.
We welcome Mr. Puckette into
the editorial fateruity.
Now, it he will print one quarter
of a column iu the phonetic method
of spelling we promise to give it to
tbe readers of tbe Sentinel.
