Editor Lake Charles Echo;
Well here We r. after true de-
liberation, ] again grasp the pen to
let the readers Of the Echo know thai
we arc deeply in love with the style Of
your Sugartown writer. Amiens, Z

Of the past, and also speaks with I,

ers educating their children. No OF,
can clap their hands quiekeT or throw
their voices higher. OF toss their caps
in the air more readily than your cor
respondent, when It comes to cheering
those that are struggling after an
edueation. And may Anxious long live
to WELD quill in behalf Of the sens
and daughters Of farmers. There Is
not more honorable calling under
the sace Of high Heavens, than thzt Of
carrying the flaming banner Of kHoWl

Now, Ar, E5itoz, your writer has
been teaching N This community about
two months, and ] CHI sxy with a
truth, thA1 never saw = people any
where that seemed 70 realize the need
of an education more than thEy CO II
this section; and NAV every eomnD-
nifty hesve and grozn with the same
feeling. Everything IN this BsigbboT-
hood is struggling 70 school their
children, and we car hear thu echo
resound back the same strain. educate,
educate. The wild winds that blows
speak the same, even 10 the leaves on
the trees Fe-echOs the sound, educate.
My thoughts cannot be collested fast
enough for me to give your many
readers my views on this subject, rs l
would like TO.
Well, Mr.. Editor, as this is election
day, and all the men of our neighbor-
hood have gone to the polls, Except
myself and ] would have gone, but !
failed to register, though my heart
and hand is cooperating with the
same feelings of success for Demo
Gratis as if ] were there. This is R
gloomy day with me, it seems that
something is lost, it is on account Of
the absence of our men, l guess.
] will tell You that our debating So
ciety is getting along splendidly. We
discussed the subject Of war and in
temperance last Friday night, with
Mr.. J. 4. Ryals as president, and
Messrs. James White and Pearce Gil
ley as Judges. 1t seems that the
speakers on the side of war produced
more points, showing that war was, and
had been, more destructive 10 the hu-
man family at large than intempersnce.
So the judges decided. To show vOu
and your many readers what an inter
est there is taken in the society, | will
say that there were "a members joined
last Friday night. Do not think that
they all attempt 10 speak Not so,
but they merely joined and paid in
their fees, to show that they were
anxious for its promotion.
We are glad to say that our singing
school at Big Marsh is progressing
splendidly. MAY our friends in both
this and that community, be success
ful in all their undertaking. So you
see that am about to consume most
too much space. ! had better come
to close. May the Echo long flour
ish her banners TO the people of this
State and parish.
