The Eveptng Newspaper.

The past decade has witnessed many
changes in Journalism. Until few years
ago the morning papers had things prets
ty much their own way. and the impress
sion prevailed. both on the part of the
public and newspaper men themselves,
that the morning issue was the only sue
cessful newspaper enterprise. Today the
growth and strength of the evening
newspapers all over the country is phe-
nomenal. Each recurring year finds the
evening paper more important factor in
the journalistic field. Scarcely one man
in twenty has time in the morning or during
the day to read morning newspaper.
The evening affords the leisure neces
cary. and the evening paper, with its
days news of the world, with better and
fresher local pages just from the press,
gives its reader greater pleasure and af,
fords him more profit. Fast mail trains
on the railroads leading from the metro
politan cities have had further tenden
cy TO reduce country morning circula
tons and business. The large city dai.
lies are their active competitors. Sc
now we find the evening paper is out
stripping the morning paper in circula
ton and influence in nearly all the cities
OF the west.-Muscatipe Journal

We understand that oar last ON

has given rise to many comments.
Our ideas are only personal, even if
shared BY many others. and we would
be pleased to see Others VINO DO not

their belief. and if convincing, are
ready to yield; if not, we shall state
our reasons why we oppose them.
Notwithstanding the overflow and
hard times prevailing here. we are at
least blessed with cheap bread. An
other baker has started i'll business
here, and shows such energy as should
secure success. His name Victor
Blanchard, wonld leave one to believe
that he is a creole. bat il reality he
comes from Toulouse, France. We
hope that he comes here to stay.
The Lockport school board informs
us, through its directors, that thenum-
Der of children now on the roll is 1872,
and the average daily attendance 1O7.
They express the utmost satisfaction
in the manner the school has been
kept, and the progress the children
have made, specially since our local
association, known as the Lockport
Pablo School Fund Association has
made it its task to keep the free
school open all the year round.
We regret 20 see the prospects so
gloomy for their fair which is to be
held on the first Saturday and Sun
day in June. However the ~associa-
ton IS confident Of success as they re-
~ greatly on the efforts ottheir friends

The Lake View b. B. Club had a fine
ball last Saturday at the Lockport
school house hall which was largely
attended. We would like to give des-
cription of dresses and names of fair

many that, rather than to seem to do
injustice to SOMEONE, we prefer to
mention no one personally.
On the several plantations we have
visited this week we find plant cane,
both fall and spring, in "a splendid
condition. Stubble cane is also doing
very we'll, and so is corn.
Orange trees, whose blossoms had
been cut off by the March freeze, are
now blooming again and may, we hope,
give us a late crop.
