( We are pleased to be able to state that the
business Of the Bank Of Hope is steadily on
the increase in all its branches. Mr.. J. P.
Brown informs US that the business of the bank
thus far the present year will show an increase
OF nearly thirty per cent. This increase is due
In large measure to the confidence inspired
by the conservative business methods adopted
by Messrs. Brown l. Son, and also to the fact
that their rates are much moro liberal than
those usually adopted by country banks In
Dakota. 1t speaks we'll for the business Ca
pacity Of these gentlemen and also for the in
tegrity of our community to be able to state
that while the bank had large line Of dis
counts out last fall that every account but one
was settled and their books balanced before
commencing the new year.

A Washington telegram Of the 10Th says tho

to the reduction Of the great Sioux reservation
the consent of the adult male Indians must be
obtained, under the treaty Of 1858, before any
steps looking to the allotment of lands and tho
opening to settlement of the remainder of the
reservation can be taken. The Indians to be

Success II Duty of Life.

1t is the prime obligation, rest
ing upon every man to succeed up
to the fullest measure which it is
possible for him to do. Success
is not only desirable, but it is a
duty. Look at a mar along what
ever range of faculties, and you will
see in the perfect equipment of
capacity, in the presence of every
energy, the obligation to success. In
the wings of a bird you see flight
is suggested 4; in the build of a
horse and a dog, speed is manifest /;
in the OK, strength. And so through
all the grades Of life, in the organi.
cation, in the capabilities bestowed.
our Maker has pointed out the
mode and result of life. But in man
this is most observable. A young
mar has no right to fail in life. 1t
may not be his opportunity to sue
coed in the direction and to that
extent in which his capabilities
point and make possible. Society
is full of failures hat need never
have been made ; full Of men who
have never succeeded, when they
might and should have done 30 +;
men in every trade and profess
sion who do not amount to anything.
The world is full Of such people.
We do not speak without charity,
without making due allowance Tor
the inevitable in life, but we do say
that each human creature has an in.
dividuaI responsibility, a moral oh.
legation, which he should strive to
cancel.

The New Iberia colored FIRE COM
pany had a picnic here las, Saturday

Last Sunday afternoon a large
number Of our citizens c]ongregated
at the Catholic church to witness
the interesting and solemn exercises
of the browning Of Mary by a multi
tude of children attired in beautiful
and attractive costumes. Notwith-
standing the heat Of the day, and
the distance some had to travel, the
number in attendance from the
country was large. The imposing
and solemn ceremonies were presided
over by Father A. NJ. Mehault, as
sisted by Father Simon, whose re-
marks On this glorious fete made a
favorable and lasting impression
upon the minds of all present.
Many Of the FRANKS Of the small
boy should be overlooked when we
reflect how many obstacles in life
he necessarily has to overcome.
First comes the tempting cherry to
disturb the equilibrium Of the boys
internal affairs, then the colicky
watermelon, which in him is fol.
lowed by the green apple. Scarcely
have these ripened and become fit
for use until Jack Frost puts in an
appearance, and the boy has to pad
die around barefooted in the cold
until his feet are so chapped and
and cracked that he is almost as
great a cripple as on English earl !:
then he must put on boots, which
rub the skin off the heels. Surely
the life of a boy is beset with trials
and tribulations.
