At his residence in St Landry parish, near
Dnbuisson Station, on Monday July "a, 1893,
died EDWARD DUBUIssoN in the 65th year of
his age.
1t is seldom we are called upon to chron-
icle the death of one so universally beloved,
SO highly esteemed, and so much regretted.
As the web of life is woven, and in relentless
tide, moves on to the Eternal good We ask
of man, has he done what he could? Has he
fulfilled the destiny allotted to him by his
Creatorl Has he left his work improperly
done, and incomplete! Has he woven the
pattern, that men who come behind him, can
follow, and feel that they walk in the light,
made clear in the life of an upright, honest
and honorable man. Has he left behind him
a name carved, by his own hands, and made
in hon0rl Has he woven the stitches in the
web of his life, when woof and warp are
beautifully blended in one perfect whole,
without flaw, as open and bright as the
MONDAY sun? Such life that all mankind
cen rise up with one acclaim, and proclaim
him the noblest work of God" Then we
pause only to ask if such was not the life of
Edward Dubuisson While he lies at our feet
in the cold embrace of Eternal light, do we
not feel that the world is songless, to sound
his praise, used words but the poor medium
to express our sorrow and regrets, in the loss
of kind neighbor. the true and devoted
husband, the loving father-the generous
friend. We grieve and sorrow for our loss
and yet we should not-for he has reached
the Heavens where the skies are clear-leav.
ing for us an example as pure as the light.
Human life is never perfect, and while we
all knew him but to love him, we could but
feel that each day that he lived he became
more and more endeared to all, and made
more and M ore perfect life already bright,
and we'll rewarded in years of good deeds and
noble acts. The roll has been called, he has
answered, II am here" He rests in peace,
he sleeps with the honorable, the just, and
the beloved. Peace to him-God's will is
done-Edward Dubusson is dead, and yet
he liveth eternal.

Health is fine, in fact so good that
some of our popular physicians are go.
ing to Chicago to take in the exhibition.
An occasional death can take place
without them. The only fatal instru
ments we now have among us and on
which we can rely are the pistol and
the hoe and the club. A bullet gets
astray at a wedding-a boyish play re-
suits in the use of stick or field
hands hoe leasp from the grass to a
hard head and Zach time down goes a
victim. As all things are in the opin
ion OF some predestinated we must re-
gard such trifles as unavoidable and as
happening in due course of natural
events. As We don't expect to go to
any weddings not even our own and
don't play with sticks and have no
cotton To have loed, we hope we are
not predestinated to die without a
physician and downy bed.

do more for them than we. You have
fine running stream of water and a
superabundance of the very cheapest

pointed. Don't you think we can have
the two towns lit up at comparatively
small cost. aud the public road between
them made traversable the darkest
nights? just think how many Tom

lapse of time and the development of
our ample resources the two towns
may meet, mingle and unite as did

One of the many places of interest in
Chicago, outside of the Worlds Fair, is
the famous Libby Prison War Museum
whiclle no one should fail to visit.
The hnilding is the identical Libby
prison, which has been removed from
Richmond, Va, and erected in Chicago
on Wabash Ave, between I4th and
10Th street, just as it stood in the cap
ital of the Confederacy.
1t has been converted into great
Museum, illustrating the Civil War and
African Slavery in America. 1t is filed
with thousands of genuine relics of the
war, such as scenes, views, portraits,
arms, guns, original orders of all the
prominent officers, both North and
South, etc. No sectional animosity is
intended no North, no South but
fair representation of the great Civil
War, from both Northern and Southern
standpoints. Every Southern man
should not fail TO see it. Open day
and evening.

a Good Move.

1t is said, and we believe, correctly.
that a project for building large
school house for the children of colored
persons, is in contemplation. five are
correctly Informed, the projectors, (all
colored persons) propose to raise funds
sufficient to purchase square of
ground somewhere near the outer linl-
It's of the town corporation, and on it
erect cOmmodious school house. 1t
ls proposed to canvass the parish and
solicit of every colored man one dol
lar. 1t is thought that this can be done,
If properly undertaken. 1t seems that
the proposition is clearly within the
possibility of every man. And right
here we would suggest to the colored
population the very great Importance
OF the undertaking. We think it safe
to say that ere long, suffrage will be
restricted to such as can read and
write, and the colored population will
necessarily find, that aside from the
propriety of some such qualification,
the preservation of our form of govern
ment will require it and must DEPEND
on it. It is urged that the education of
the colored race but serves to make
rascals of them. This we do not ac-
cept, although we have seen it fire.
quently the case.
ga little learning is dangerous
thing" among the whites as we'll as
among the blacks, but this shonld new
or discourage either race from endeav-
oriDg to drink deeply at the fountain
of knowledge. OF all the forms of gov
ernment, that which is Republican
most requires the education of the
masses. The public school fund is not
adequate, aud in fact it should be util-
lied only in aid of indiUidudl contri-
button
We think it were wise in our law
makers so to use it. The change might
be made, and we see no reason why
the people shonld not adopt it.
Let Us suppose that teacher is en-
ployed to teach nine months in the
year at u salary of $40 per month, or
$3.50 per annum. That there is only
$500 in the public school fund to the
credit of his school, Vhy shoald not the
parents having children in his school
be required to pay the balance of $160 :?
By such plan the children would get
nine months schooling for less than one
half of what the parents would other
wise have to pay, if they sent to pri-
vate schools. This is done in one or
two Of the states, and the people find it
very convenient. Parents should not
expect to have their children taught
entirely at the public expense, and yet
every one should be required to aid
in educating the masses.
But we have digressed.
We say to the colored people go on
in the work. Have your children
literally educated in the elementary
branches, Throw aside the darkness
and shadows that becloud their minds
and unfit them for enjoying the boon
of liberty, and the blessings of good
government Hasten the time as far
as you can, when general ignorance
and gullibility shall give place to in
telligence and right reason, when
you may participate in the right of suf
frage without endangering the govern
ment which owes you protection. Every
colored man in ST. Landry should
cheerfully contribute one dollar volun-
tarily to the instruction and elevation
of his race. Let the effort be made.
