Amusement Notes.

On Friday evening the Garrick Club will
play London Assurance" at the Vari cites
Theatre. for the beneti: of the Loui lana
Relief Association Of 1875, for the poor of
the State. This Association. as is well
known, is composed of q number of our
best men FOR the immediate relief of unem.
ployed worthy working men. 1t is en- tirely
unconnected with politics, and has already
done much good in direct and practicable
way. The Garrick Club is the .irst organ;-
cation to come to its relief, to put money in
its purse, and we hope to see full house
when the curtain goes up on Bouci cault's
great comedy. The play will receive a
strong cast, and there is 10 doubt it will be
we'll rendered.
At the Napoleon Avenue Presby terian
Church, Sixth District. will be given on
Friday evening Rainbow Cantata Concert.
with pleasing effects in tableau, and de-
lightful music by volunteers. The good
pastor Of that church deserves all tho aid
which can be given him and his work. and
our up town friends can please themselves
and do a good deed by patronizing the en-.
tertainment.

consequently there is less opportunity TO

Educational Interests in North Louisiana

EDITOR REPUBLICAN.
The new school board of Union parish
held its first meeting and effected an or
ganizatiOD to day. Five members were
present: w. G. Carr, w. p. Smith. L. p,
Bolton, W. X. Rushing and j. Il. Goyne.
All these gentlemen are intelligent and
prominent citizens. They were selected
because of their fitness for the position, and
without the slightest political motive. They
are iberaf-minded men who desire the
education of all children. and will labor
earnestly for that purpose.
DR.. w. c. Carr was elected president of
the board, and J. r. Goyne secretary and
treasurer. AS some parts Of the parish are
not directly represented in the school board,
a resolution was adopted requesting the
appointment of two additional mem bers,
