Mr. 6. r. Nethery, of Danville,
paid US an appreciated call Monday,
though the bearer of sad news from
his (Third) ward.
Mr.. n. Jensen, of Jewella, stepped
in on rs for few moments Tuesday
Mr.. j. H. Winston, of Jonesville,
showed his cheerful face in our sane
tum for a brief period Tuesday.
We had the pleasure of meeting
Prof. 2. II. Philbrick, of Lake Charles,
chief engineer Kansas City, Watkins
and Gulf Railroad, while stopping
for short time in our city.
We had the pleasure of meeting
Mr.. John McNeese, superintendent of
public schools of Calcasieu parish,
whose home is in Lake Cherle
Judge j. L. Hargrove has been kind
ly extending courtesies to him during
his stay in Shreveport. He seems
highly pleased with Shreveport, and
thinks we have a beautiful city
having had a view from a trip around
the Belt Line. He spoke of the police
jury having given him S4OO in addi-
ton to the salary allowed by law and
an increase is contemplated above
this. We do think if anybody de-
serves living salary it is our super
intendent of parish schools, and we
hope our police jury will uaake note
of the example that Calcasieu has set
them. The education of our children
is paramount to everything, else and
how can we expect qualified aud eff
cient men to do this work on beg
carly remuneration. Let rs educate
the children and we will haye less
money to pay out for crime; for igno-
rance begets crime, and like Calca-
sieu more to pay good and efficient
superintendent to look after educa-
tion.

Mr.. Donald Monroe, familiarly

21, 1893, at his home at Danville in
Caddo parish, aged 45years. Hewas
a native of Canada.
He was buried in this city Tuesday
evening from the Baptist Church.
DR.. W. S. Penick delivered touch
ing and eloquent address upon the
Importance of being ready at all times
to meet death, in view of the uncer-
tainty of life to US all. He was al
honored member of the Masonic fra
ternity also of the Ancient Order Of
United Workmen. These orders took
charge of the body at the church and
performed the last sad rights at the
grave Thus in the prime of life a
useful and honored citizen, a kind
and devoted husband has been sud
denly sent to an untimely grave.
The large audience, principally COM
posed of men, attessed fully the high
esteem in which he was held. Let
us hope shat after life's fitful dream

bic to us.
The morning call was in the per
sonages of Miss Augusta Wilson edl-
tor and proprietor of the Timpson

teens and yet has already made her
mark in the journalistic arena. The

realize that the newspaper business
has its very bright sides at times.
Later Miss Wilson complimented
rs with an introduction to Mrs. >. n.
Willis Of Garrison and Mrs. j. L. Gar
rison (nee Hicks of Center both OF
whom displayed the same degree Of re-
iinement and culture as did their
friends of the morning visit. All are

they dwell. both as to wealth and So
cial standing. The PRoGREss wishes
them a frll measure of pleasure in
their visit to the big fair with hearty
wish that they may call again on

Miss Wilson was in Shreveport in
the interest OF her excellent paper and
we hope her nip was a successful
one.
