their visit to the lower girls high

leave. Their actions produced some
excitement in the neighborhood Of the
school house, but no violence. The

after the holidays, or until further no.
tce.
The returning board, in executive
session, decided Carroll parish in favor

the democratic claimants in st. Helena
and Saline.
The parishes yet to be passed on by
the returning board elected thirty-two
