The Public schools ExhiDltion

Last Thursday was held the sec
ond public exhibition Of our parish
schools, and Notwithstanding the
condition of the roads and threaten
ing weather, the audience was large
and appreciative. This is o crafty.
ing statement to make, for it proves
that our citizens are awakening to
the advantages Of education, aud re-
aliziDg its benefits. The number of
ladies present was especially remark
able, and their presence is a tribute
to the school board whose efforts are
arousing 50 much interest in the pub.
lie schools. The exercises were very
interesting throughout, and the
scholars acquitted themselves with
credit. Indeed. many Of the decla-
nations. would have compared fav-
orably with the best, and the exami-
nations il the different branches re-
yealed a thoroughDess which speaks
well for teachers and pupils. The
exercises ended with an eloquent ad-
dress from Mr.. Williams, the Super
intendent, in which be urged the
patrons TO keep alive the enthusiasm
which had been aroused, aud paid a
deserved tribute to Judge w. W.
Edwards for his devotion and able
services to the cause of education.
W. hope this custom of having an
nual public reunions of the schools
will be continued, for the results are
well worth the time and money ex-
pended.

on the one part and the North Lou
isiana and South Arkansas Railway
Company on the other part. The
terms Of the contract arc few and
simple. Bastrop gives the N. @. &
N. W. Company $4,000 in cash
when the road is flushed and guar
antees q Eve mills tax on the assessed
valuation Of the towns property for
ten years. The cash is raised, and
will be placed ia the BANK at once.
The tax proposition is to be voted on
when the city officers are elected,
the 9th Of June next.
The N. O.& N. W. Company bind
themselves to complete the line from
Collins to Bastrop by the 18th Of
next September, and in the event Of
a failure they forfeit 10000, for the
prompt and certain payment of which
a valid and acceptable bond was
given to our local company. Work
on the line will begin in a few days.
The steel rails to be used are to be
shipped at once to Collins. end we
understand the company have on
hand a sufficient number of ties
which will be freighted around by
Monroe to Collins in order to ecouo.
mize time and money.
We congratulate our local con-
pany on closing this trade as they
did. Business principles ~permeated
every stipulation, and it is the first
time that all parties have been fore.
ed to the scratch" in the history Of
all orr peoples efforts to secure q
railroad. If we fail now Bastrop
will win ten thousand dollars and
that sum, together with her own re-
sources. will build and equip til
road. So the enterprise is an abso-
lutte certainty, and everybody can
get ready to take a ride in q short
time.

The Omaha Convention.


The delegates from the silver
States to the Omaha convention are
a fair sample Of the rank and file OF
the Peoples Party, and their utter.
ances are conclusive proof that they
have deserted he older parties not
for reform, but to lend strength to a
movement which may secure benefits
to their respective localities. This
Of courae they have a perfect right
to do. but it docs seem a selfish pol,
cy, to boom up their States at the
expense Of the entire Nation. Not
satisfied with the Democratic plank
which demands q bimetalIic curren-
cy, and gives gold and silver an
equal chance, these patriots have
deserted its ranks because this would
not be giving them the whole hog;
' #&"-IN @HG#.H -

ties will guarantee them free silver;
they are not averse to endorsing all
the other radical pianks in the Third
Party platform if they can get what
they want. The rest of the country
may 60 to the demnition bow vows
as long as these patriotic malcontents
can secure the free coinage of silver
to boom up a few States with hardly
population enough to make a few
good sized cities. Fortunately for
the Democratic party the most OF
these desertions are from the Repub.
lican ranks and happily for the com
try the Peoples Party is in a hope
less minority, and the greatest sue
cess il could possibly meet with,
would only assure a Democratic adj

a little difficulty and spoilt it. That
