A NEGRO, aged l07, froze to death near Barnes
vile, Ga, during the recent cold snap and it is
said that the negroes feel SO indignant at the
son of the deceased that they talk of vengeance
The son may be man of, say eiehty-s seven.
Now it stands to reason that boy of that age
generally has enough to do to keep his own poor
bones articulated and in working order. without
enough to look after himself.

THE Waynesburg, O., woman who, when her
house took fire, stood bare-footed 81 the pump
for twenty minutes and then ran quarter Of a
mile through the snow with the thermometer
twelve below zero, made great mistake. The
average woman's feet are cold enough already to
make matrimony risky business to any but the

The attention of the people Of
Lake Charles and vicinity is respect
fully directed to the 3" Notice to Stock
holders" which will be found in an
other column. AT the suggestion of
friends to education, representative
men of our town, and those who are
alive to every enterprise that promises
to add to our social, moral or material
prosperity, the writer has undertaken
the arduous task of eanvassing the
question Of putting into practical
operation an Institution of learning
in the town of Lake Charles that will
not only meet the requirements of the
town, but which will inspire the sur
rounding country with confidence,
and secure the patronage of at least
all Southwest Louisiana.
We arc glad TO say the amount nee
essary to begin operations, according
to the charter under which we have
been eanvasslng, viz: $4,000, has been
subscribed, and this has been done
with very imperfect canyass-quite
number Of our friends we have not
been able as yet to see, who will no
doubt cheerfuily aid US in accomplish
ing this important work.
As the object rs to bnild a school
by the people and for the people, we
hope that every citizen of our town
will feel that it is an enterprise in
which be is personally interested, and
viii not hesitate to at once engage
with us in one united effort to secure
what will never have o rival in its
power for good to the people of this
section of our State.
We must educate! We must edu-
cate, or we perish by our own pros.
perity.o This sentiment was expressed
when immigration was pouring in
upon our foFefathers, bringing with ii
an era of prosperity, Anknown in the
history of the colonists. What was
true then with them, is true to-day
with us, even though il be on q
smaller scale The South is to-day
the center Of attraction for those who
are seeking homes, or places to invest
capital. Louisiana is the center ol
the South, and Calcasieu parish, il moi
the center of Louisiana, is the center
OF attraction in Louisiana, and VIC
stand to-day upon the threshold of al
age Of prosperity beyond what many
Of us have ever yet fancied. Then,

mand Ii now begins to look as if
there would be a war right away, nm
less there is a release Of Cutting.

We are in receipt Of a letter from
Mfr. y. j. Hamilton, Of Johnson's
Bayou, N which be says "The storm
did great injury TO crops here, as was
reported, bnt one can hardly perceive
its effects now 80 vigorous have been
the efforts Of our people in pushing
the work in order TO recover losses, .
From the letter above, and letter
from our correspondent at Gum, rela-
tive 10 crops in that section and in
the Sugartown section, and from news
gathered generally from other portions
of the country, we conclude that after
AT tho disasters of the early spring,
our farmer friends throughout South
west Louisiana will make good crops.
Itistrne there are isolated crops and
sections where the destruction has
been very great, amounting to almost
a total.loss; however, there are other
sections where the crops are considered
above NJ average. All things eonsid-
cred, we have been greatly blessed,
f9r which we thank God.
