Indeed, we walked abreast with Death,

Indeed. we walked abreast with Death.
The fever raged-its fateful breath
Had borne our bravest and our best
That day, unto his last, long rest.
We warned young Jimi
And babe him haste to leave the town,
Else he, too, might be stricken down,
He shook his head and softly said,
The living must replace the dead"
Brave-hearted JIM
We questioned how he stood,
Or II his Union card" was good,
1t mattered very little then.
Great was our need, we wanted men,
And here was jim
His coat was frayed, his shoes were worn,
His shirt Was soiled, his hat was torn.
Other men, deeds less brave have done
And everlasting laurels won,
Than did our Jim!
For who but he--when pale despair
Walked hand in hand with bitter care
Across our hearts-made thipgs seem right,
And worked by day and watched by night,
But faithful Jim?
He nursed the sick, worked at his case
With hopeful eyes and brave, white face.
And as the ever seized our men.
He tried 10 do the work Of ten,
Hard working Jim!
The dead were borne adown the street.
The living, languishing IN The heat,
And breaking hearts gave out the cry:
In pestilence. oh. God We die !'
No CHEEKY Jim!
He 1t was. that praised the dead,
And words of cheer to the living said,
At length the summer passed away.
And Hope resumed her wonted sway
But b of Jim!
He held out to the very last.
Like shipwrecked sailor to the mast.
When those he nursed were getting well,
Sick with the fatal fever fell,
Poor, tired jim!
It may not seem so sad to you,
His lying there but then we knew
How steadfast was The sou he had
A mighty hero. poorly clad,
Was Printer Jim.
We know that at the golden gate
The angels did not make him well,
But threw the shining portals wide
And felt a thrill of holy pride
To welcome jim!
And on that morn we buried him
Fen ey es unused to tears grew dim,
We planted roses at his head.
shed tears upon his grave and said:
sleep we'll, brave Jim"
We knew him by no other name
save that he gave the day he came,
Upon the stone we carved the same.
And added: "Deathless was the fame
of Printer Jim !"

The gathering and preparation of moss
that is found in ell parts of the parish in
large quantities Is another industry that
occupies the attention of many persons,
and also adds very materially to the income
of the inhabitants.
In the swamp lands the cutting of cross
ties for railroads gives employment to a
great number of laborers.
Thibodaux is the principal town in the
parish, settled about 1917, incorporated in
1888, and with adjoining suburbs contains
from 5000 to $500 inhabitants. Twenty
two miles below is the pretty little village
of Lockport with the bright and beautiful
lake fields in its rear its settlement dates
back some sixty. odd years. and now con-
tains about 1900 people. Opposite to it is
L%ogueville, in which reside some 200 OF
300 people.
Our climate is a healthy one. The sadly
remembered epidemics of '53 and rs did
not visit more thar one-third of the settled
portions of the parish. Few of the chronic
diseases that prevail and destroy life else
where are kr@9here. The hectic cough
Of the c~onsulhptive is seldom heard. Octo'
genarians are frequent and nonogenarians
often met with. Ice is rarely visible, and
then only for one or two days at a time.
Sunstrokes seldom occur.
Ladies and gentlemen of the Louisiana
Press Association, l have e%ndeavort to
give you an idea of the topographyttnd
capabilities of the parish of Lafoarche. Nc
effort to embslish or prevaricate has been
made. We will endesvor to give you a.
opportunity to see q great portion of the
parish during your visit here. Then you
can form your own opinion and establish
your own judgment. And now, trusting
that you may find your visit pleasant and
agreeable and that your session may be
harmonious and instructive, I once more,
in behalf. of the people of Lafourche, tender
you a cordial welcome.
Both the addresses of welcome were
gratefully received by visitors and cit
liens.
Music-'Salut a Ia Preese"-was then
sung by the ladies and gentlemen, under
direction of Prof. Chof, after which the

APPOINTMENTS AND PROMOTIONS.

A rule is attempted to be laid
down by those who appear to wor-
ship theories regardless Of practical
considerations, that all vacancies in
the public service should be filed
by the appointment of the person
next below. Now this mode of pro-
ceeding is in many instances right
and proper, just to individuals, as
we'll as beneficial to the public. But
it is by no means always so, nor
even generally, in such conditions as
have existed in the public service of
this country for the last year and
half.
The appointment of Mr.. Foster
as Police Justice may be admitted
to be an excellent one, though we
have never understood that clerks of
courts were in the direct line of
promotion to the bench. If he
makes a good judge, as we have no
doubt he will, it will be mainly by
reason of his mental and moral
qualifications and of legal educa-
ton which he did not get in the
position he has just vacated. We
presume Messrs. Smith and Reist
are perfectly qualified for the posi-
tons to which they have been re-
spectively advanced. Such being
the case their promotion Is to be
commended. But we deny that any
possible length of service in the
routine of clerical work will afford
any presumptive evidence of either
of them being qualified to exercise
judicial functions. They may or
may not be, but nothing can be
proved either one way or the other
by any such test. We have nothing
to say against Judge Bickerton's
record in his present position, but
the fact that he had been Police
Justice for three or four years, or
even ten times as long, could neither
make him nor prove him qualified
to deal with the higher, more COM
plicated and very different questions
which come before the highest legal
tribunal in the Kingdom. If he has
proved a good judge, let us be
thankful, but we suppose the hon
orable gentleman himself would be
quite willing to admit that equally
good appointments have often beer
made direct from the ranks of the
profession. According to these
theorists, a great injustice wa:
done, and the public service received
vicious blow, when, upon the deatl
of Judge Fernandez, Judge Dayton
was passed over, and S. B. Dole
Esq, who had never had any judi
cial experience, was appointed K
fill the vacancy. For our own part
although we have high regard TO
, Judge Dayton, we fail to see eithe
the injustice or the impolicy.
, 1t may be admitted that amont
I those doing ordinary routine worl
