tin-and fourth being disqualified
from the fact of holding a position OF
public trust, the State Board issued a
new set of appointments comprising
Messrs. A. S. barrow, E. n. Pugh,
Solomon Barmon, Augustus Knight,
II. d. Minor, C. D. Blouin, j. G.
Warner, Louis Lefort, Ben. Gibson
and DIR. b. Claverie, ten ID all. This
Board is an improvement on the for
mef one, inasmuch as more equal rep
resentation is given to the various
portions of the parish and to the
dominant element of the population,
the colOred people. Messrs. Knight,
LefOrt and Warner are colored men,
the remaining seven members white.
Mr.. Warner is from the second ward,

from the fourth, Messrs. Darrow and
Gibson from the fifth, Mr.. Knight from
the sixth, Messrs. Barmon and Blouin
from the seventh and Mr.. Minor from

A. S. barrow as President and E. n.

O6icio Treasurer of the School Board.
and has furnished bond of $4,000 for
the faithful performance of his duties,
with Messrs. Ben. Gibson, j. A. Braud,
Jr., and James Teller as sureties.
We believe very little if any bnsi-
ness was transacted beyond organiza-
ton. When the Board gets to work
we presume their proceedings will be
published for the information of the
public.
The personnel of the new Board is
excellent, comprising gentlemen who
rave never sought or occupied Office.
