Who is better fitted to give good ad-
vice than the dear old grandmother,
who remembers her own mistakes and
wants to save the children from learn
ing by sad experience, as she did 7 Re-
garding her rules grandmother says:
One is:
Always look at the person you speak
to. When you are addressed, look
straight at the person who speaks to
you. Do not forget this.
Another is:
Speak your words plainly; do not
mutter or humble. If words are worth
saying, they are worth pronouncing dis
tinctly and clearly.
A third is: :.
Do not say disagreeable things. Ii
you have nothing pleasant to say keep
silent.
A fourth is-and 0 children, rememb-
er it all your lives:
Think three times before you speak
once.
Have you something to do that you
find hard and would rrefer not to do Y
Then listen to wise old grandmother.
Do the hard thing first and get it over
with. II you have done wrong go and
confess it. If the garden is to be weed
ed, weed it first and play afterward. DO
the thing You don't like to do first, and
then, with a clear conscience, try the

At regular meeting of Paisance Union
No. $50, the following resolutions commemo-
rative of the death of Mr.. EvARIsTE JoUBERT
we're adopted:
aged and venerable brother, this Union re-
cords with sorrow the loss of one of its most
faithful members.
He was the oldest white resident of this
community he lived life of peace and quiet,
honored and respected by all who knew him,
and beloved by all.
He had long been ii great sufferer and bore
his ills with patience and resignation, and
with truly Christian fOrtltude.
He had long been preparing for death, and
died in state of perfect Christian purity, so
beautifully described by the good priest in his
funeral grafton.
Therefore to the bereaved ones, we offer
this consolation--that having lived in peace
with all on earth, and having died at peace
with his Creator; he is now a friend in
Heaven.
That copy of these resolutions be semi to
his aged and sOrrOWlng widow, with the
assurance of our most tender sympathies
PAUL LAMBERT,
EDGAR DUPRE, President
Secretary.
At ID meeting of the United Confederate
Veterans, held at Opeiousas on Saturday the
the 18th of June, 1893, the following com,
mittee was appointed to draft suitable resou-
tions commemorative Of the death of Mr..
Octave Fontenot, viz: John n Ogden, A. B
Anderson and w, l.. Gil, when the following
resolutions were adopted, viz:
Be it resolved. that We recognize in the
death of Octave F0ntenot the loss OF an up
right and honorable citizen true to all the
duties of life, an atfectionate father, a true
friend and one who has always enjoyed the
confidence and respect of the people with
whom he lived; that in the death Of our dear
cOmrade we feel that another one of the
gallant heroes Of the Confederacy has passed
away, carrying with him through life and up
to his death the empty sleeve that bore testi
mony Of his acts of heroism during that
frightful struggle; that the loss of this val
ued member of the Confederate Veterans,
touched with the finger of death in the prime
of his life and usefulness, has caused sor-
row to spread around the hearts of his family
and friends, which time alone can heal that
we recognize and appreciate, not only his
devotion to the Lost Cause, but his display
of patriotism during every trying era since
that eventful time In conclusion, We extend
to his bereaved family our heartfelt sym
pathies trusting and feeling that He who
tempers the wind to the shorn lamb will in
His own good time reconcile them to His de-
crees and permit them to bear in patience
their affliction. JOHN n. OGDEN,
Chairman Of the Committee.

ance to the people of all the circum
jacent country that the children in

opportunity to become good scholars id
the prescribed course of study. She
deserves liberal patronage, and it is
fortunate on the palt of the parents. and
encouraging to children that she exerts
herself so faithfully and persistently,
in efforts to instruct. Her school il
prudently encouraged by our people,
would soon be made as thorough, and
its curriculum as varied as should be
desired. We cannot too urgently i'm
press it upon the people, that home

in a social point of view, are concern

ems ties, which serve to unity it in all
the purposes of after life, and stimu-
late emulation to high degree. II
Mrs. Hayes school were encouraged as
ID should be. it would soon become the
pride of Southwestern Louisiana, and
thousands of dollars might annually
be added to the re venue of the citizens
Schools cannot be built up by teach
ers alone. but parents should exerI
themselves as we'll. Mrs. Hayes school
should have, at it's next session 2O(
scholars The chairs of the professors
would be increased-the range of stu.
dies vastly enlarged and Opelonsas
become a center of attraction. Prof
Armentront is a valuable accession tC
the school, under whose experienced
management, learning will be given f
new impetus in Opelousas.
