S0ulhWeSL LOUISIANA Is the leaSL
| understood aud the most grossly mis-
represented of any section of country
! 10 the Union. At it is situated on
the Gulf of Mexico, and in close
proximity 10 the greatest river on
the continent, most people conclude
that it is low, wet, swampy region
"a succession OF deep jungles,
tangled swalnps, marshes. lakes,
sloughs, cane and cypress breakes
throughout its entire extent; where.
as. healthier by far than the NORTH.
WEST famed bv the sea breeze, it is
the land of enchanting scenery, Of
beautiful bayols and CLASSY lakes
and bays, splendid prairies, noble
forests and pleasant skies, the land
of flowers, of beauty and of health.
In point of climate and soil, South
west Louisiana yields precedence to
no country in America; as TO the
character Of her people, their hospi-
tality is proveroial. Religious, edu.
cational and social institutions found
an early and permanent footing here
Everywhere are evidences Of success.
Yet despite this inviting state of
things there are many splendid acres
unoccnpied-many rich, exhanstless
fields uncultiyated. 1t is seen with
regret that thousands of emigrants
whose best interests lie in this direc.
ton are turning their faces toward
the arid and unprodnctiye regions Of
Western Kansas. Texas and Nebras..

Of this work to exhibit the attrative.

Southwest Louisiana, the publishers
here outline their system Of work.
A chapter on the resources. and
brief history will be given of each of
the following parishes: st. Landry,
st. Martin, Iberia, Lafayette. St.

the school and we tiust they will be

One of the best games OF ball played

A very difficult surgical operation
was performed last week by DR.. Braden
of this place assisted by DR.. Jones of
Houghton. A~eancer of malignant
type recently developed upon Mrs. N.
s. Pennock's foot and it was feared
that the affected member would have to
be amputated. DIR. Braden thought
the foot coald be saved by removing
one toe of the foot upon which the
cancer was developing. This course
was therefore adopted and the toe en-
tir-ly removed. The operation was
successfully performed and the wound
is healing nicely. so that Mrs. Pennock
will be around again soon.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-The ofIicerl

defeating the attempts of the "HQmc

This concern, 1t is stated, publishes
monthly Journal called The Home Fas.
tinator, alleged to be devoted to useful
knowledge, romance, etc. The "etc. +"
seemed to cover the greater part Of the

The prizes, and it stated they have, been

waiting on their prizes.

bouse "a about twenty more teachers
were 1ced on the roll, swelling it to
1851
her devotional exercises led by Pro
| iysor Wade, Professor Miller called for
gems Of literature" and received re-
/sponses from twenty-five teachers.
Methods OF teaching primary arith-
metic were then discussed and in the
discussion Professor Miller suggested
that processes OF addition and sibtrac-
ton between numbers one and one hum
bred can be successfully taught without
any reference to units, tens and hum
dreds, the large numbers being con
sidered solely as units. Professor Mil
Ter has been advancing this theory in
the various counties where he has been
conducting institutes and it has been
fayorably received. Professor Crago
then introduced the subject Civil Gov
ernment," using Nickerson's charts in
the presentation OF the topic.
In the afternoon Professor Wade con-
Quoted class drill in primary reading,
the class being composed Of boys and
girls who had never attended school.
This exercise was most interesting and
developed Professor Wadc's skill in in
structing the young. To support this,
the professor used q huge dish OF candy,
with which he encouraged the children.
The remainder OF the day WINS taken
up in discussion OF whether the teach
ers should be examined in the branches
OF civil government and bookkeeping,
the additional course OF study created
by the last Legislature. As Prof. Cox
did not require tho city teacher to be
examined in these branches many of
the county teachers expected a like
exemption and took lively interest in
the discussion and in the positions
taken BY the board OF examiners and
the conductors OF the institute. The
latter agreed, however, that according
to the decision OF the attorney general
an exemption OF the teachers from ex-
animation III these branches would In
validate the certificates issued.

A Young Mnn Falls Desperately In Love
With Ills Half Sister.
DAxpuRy, Conn.,, Aug. 4. - Some
thirteen years ago Erastus Beckett left
England and came to this place, where
lie settled and soon built up prosper
Gus business as halter. At home he
lett a wife and four children and never
wrote them line.
Indifference finally led to complete
obliterahon OF them, so that six years
ago Beckett married q DanbHry girl,
who was untirely unaware OF his other
vile. The whirligig OF time has brought
about q strange result in this case. Last
year The eldest son Of Beckett went to
England ona pleasure trip, and, strange
to say, met the eldest daughter Of Eras-
tus Beckett and his deserted wife.
The young man, all unconscious OF
the sad history OF the women and their
relationship to Erastus, fell desperately
~ love with the girl, and before he left
England he hal secured her'promise to
marry him. lie came back to Danbury
and continued the correspondence with
out any hint OF the matter reaching
Erastus. A month ago the young man
sent for Emily and her mother to cross
the ocean aud join him in Danbury,
where they were to be married.
The bride elect arrived in New York
yesterday, accompanied by her mother,
the discarded wife OF Erastus. The
people are awaiting in great curiosity
Tor the result when Erastus meets his
deserted wife.
