The Sixth Annual meeting Of
the Louisiana Educational AS
sociation convened at Ruston
Wednesday. The address of vel,
come was made by Rev. L. J.
Fontleroy to which Judge A. A.
Gunby read an able response,
Judge Gunby is one Of the most
enthusiastic and able educators OF
the state. An excellent poem
written BY Mrs. Charlie Trousdale,
Of Monroe was then read by Mr..
D. NJ. Sholars, after which Supt.
Breaux made an address on the
progress and conditions of the
public schools in this state. His
speech contained many valuable
suggestions. He maintained that
one cause Of our short term is that
we have too..many schools of q very
small number ofpupils. He also
made some strong hints rejecting
on tho police Juries for not ap-
propriating some thing from the
parish treasury to the support of
the public schools.
Interesting programmes were
prepared for yesterday and to, day,
and there is no doubt that the
Association will excite q stimulus
in the cause Of education in this
part of the state.
The people of Ruston had made
es>ry arrangement to accommodate
her e1ssts, and no one can complain
at tho hospitality of that nice lit
tie city. We are sorry that our
business VAS sIch that prevented
our attending but the cpe day.

Rev. Fredrick Howard, a Baptist
minister of jackson, Tenn, recent
ly brought suit against three
newspapers and twenty one promi-
nent members of his church, for
$50, 900 damages. He alleged that
the defendants had slandered his
character. The trial was one of
the most sensational ever had in
that state. The preacher received
damages for one cent, but under a
peculiar statute he vas burdened
with a tremendous cost bill, run
ming up in the thousands. This
will very probably teach the
reverend gentleman to abstain
from law and politics.

II. c. Warmoth, the Ex- x-Governor
of carpet bag fame, has been ap-
pointed collector Of the port to
succeed Mr.. Jonas. While the
name ofWsrmotL is a synonym
for political trickery and dis
honesty, yet we suppose that he
WAS entitled to something at the
hands of his party. We have one
consolation at least by his ap-
pointment, that is he is not in a
position to bleed the state as he
once was.

The Baptist State convention
met at Lake Charles last Friday

next at Ruston. All the old officers

We notice in the proceedings of
that body a resolution condemn

Lottery. While we are opposed
to the maintainance ofthe Lottery
and believe it to be a monster evil
in the politics and morals OF our
state, yet we think it untimely and
out Of place for the church Us a
body to assail it. The individual
members may with becoming
grace pronounce against it and
oppose 1T, but we will never agree

Mr.. SACKETTs bill relating TO
'peaeh yellows," has brought forth
strong arguments for and against the
protection it is expected to afford
against the spread Of the disease. That
the disease is contagious all authori-
ties agree; but the main objection to
the measure is, that it discrimiAates
against the lower peach belt in favor
of the diseased trees to the north ofus.
AS all experiments of whatsoever char
aeteI have failed to find a cure for the
yellOws, il is but natural the uninfected
districts should desire TO keep this in
feetion away from their orchards by
means that appear radical, and such
protection is commendable; but our
opinion is, that it will avail little to
draw an imaginary line through the
peach orchards at the southern border
o! the disease. The measure must en-
brace all, or il is Of value 10 none.
What does it ,a5YaiI II one disinfect aud
abaie causes of disease, if his ueighbOr
continues conditions that breed the
trouble? If the peach growers of Kent
and New Castle county are By years Of
peach growing reduced to the fiuan-
cial straits ofshipping prematured and
diseased fruit to city markets-where
such fruit is especially forbidden to be |
sold; but where commission men aid |
i'm selling it, and where inspectors are
not capable of nspecting-they can |
well afford to bid farewell to peach |
culture, and dig up their trees to save
their more fortunate brethren in Sus-
sex county, Or, II their morals are so
eolloused against honesty as TO oppose
any protecting measure. even though
it be in the shape Of Mr.. Sackett's bin,
as to be willing to endanger the or
chards Of lower Delaware for the sake
of few crops Of diseased fruit, then
indeed has the moral level fallen low.
Ifthe orchards are net diseased. then
protection cannot work any hardship
to them, even from their point of view.
by extending the measure over the
entire State fair trial could be had of 7
its virtues; but unless this is done, we
fail to see the benefit of such legisla- /,
ion. Ia
Milford chronicle., 1889-02-22

THE Legislature has two schemes
before it that have all the characteris'
tics of the famous Credit Mobilier''
in the shape of the "Peninsula Invest
ment Company and the Delaware
Finance Company" measures now be-
ing actively urged by many Of the
young lawyers of the State, backed by
a solid lobby of capitalists from other
States. The members are favorably
disposed towards both measures, but
are wary ofthe smoothly worded and
fair appearing bills Such acts of IN
corporation should have the power re-
tanned by the State to revoke or aLridge
the charter; especially when the object
for asking the incorporation is SO OBJ
scure. The plans as laid down by the
lobbyists, If faithfully carried out,
would work to the advantage of Del
aware; but unfortunately the wording
of the bills asked for, does not express
anything difinite. All beneficial meas
ures should be encouraged; but acts Of
this kind should have a specific object
in view.
Milford chronicle., 1889-02-22

Yet there is hardly an assertion that he
makes which is not controverted by men
with strong right to bear testimony. Jacob
G. Brown, backed by so years of practical
knowledge ofpeach culture, traverses' Prof
Neale's declarations as to the contagiousness
and ineurableness Of the disease, and lays the
trouble to impoverished or poisoned soil, and
to severe changes in temperature. Mr..
Brown stoutly and emphatically declares
that lie has cured the yellows in his own or
chards not in a single tree, but in many;
and that diseased trees in his orchards have
not communicated the infection 10 trees
around them; that there are much fewer
affected trees in his orchards now than there
were several years ago; that the yellows are
not threatening the peach crop of Kent; and
that in fine. it is questionable whether the
yellows is to be regarded as a disease that
cannot be avoided, prevented or cured, by
proper and timely attention to soil and tree.
The rigorous winter Of 1881, when the ther-
mometer ranged below zero for several sue
cessive nights and reached a minimum tenn
perature of-I5', LEFT many of his trees with
very marked symptoms Of yellows in the
following spring. These. by treatment which
he described to his fellow peach growers at
the Dover conventiod oflast Wednesday, Mr..
Brown claims to have not only saved but
cured and restored to full health and vigor.
Put your soil in its original condition, he
advised, "and you will not be troubled by
yellows." And he further declared himself
confident that, should the thermometer not
go any lower than it has done this winter, we
shall hear very little Of yellows in Kent
county next summer.
The utterances of such a man, one who has
grown the peach extensively aud successfully
for many years; who has now $40 acres Of
productive trees fenced in by miles of grape
vines, where thirty years ago dilapidated
worm fences enclosed a waste of scrub pas
ture and poverty-stricken corn: who has
taken land that would be dear at $40 an acre
under the old system of culture, and has
transformed the same into a veritable garden
land; who has been largely instrumental in
building up, through his canneries and the
market for labor that he has opened a thriv-
ing village where there was formerly but the
loneliness Of a crossroads the
Of such a man are not to be taken
lightly, ifthey stood alone; but they do not
stand alone. They are conoborated and
sustained by other growers, both practical and
In the face of such conflict of
testimony it is fortunate for the General As
sembly, however it may be for the growers,
that the attempt to extend the operation Of
the Sackett bill further uorthward failed and |
that the convention of Wednesday agreed to
endorse the bill as it stands

The Renaissance of Cling
hams. Whence come the
color ideas of the period? From
France? Yes, more than from
elsewhere. The very name
"Gingham" tells of India, the

value of the word broadens as
the stuff becomes the ex-
preston of the notions of
Scotch and Yankee brains.
Two prosaic Nations. They
sail the seas in company,one is
hard-headed, the other quick
witted, but who shall charge
lack of imagination against
either when the Ginghams OF

Ginghams? In days past a
word, but now the hop, the four
in-hand, the eight-oared barge,
the casino-whatever places
1.-THE, graceful figures, dainty
girls frequent in Summer-are
first in thought. These are
the Gingham-graced places,
And this year will go down
to Posterity as "the great Cling
ham year."
Over one thousand distinct
patterns are now on our
shelves.
