A Few Notes From Franklin.
TO the Lafayette Gazette:

0&A@SSs~"
AS turn about is fair play, sen
you a small contribution this week
Business, believe, is pretty good
for more business men. Franklin
will soon be the happy recipient Of
new merchant from Lake Provi-
:nce, La. The gentlcman's name
Is Moore, and the family will con-
sist of the young merchant, and
his mother and sister.
1t is very healthy here to date
Mr.. \. G.. F,ere has been i'll for
few days, but is up again, and
Mis-. Geo. Alpha has been confined
to her bed and room nearly all
summer from general debility, but
is gradully rcgaining her strength.
Excursions are very frequent this
year, and as we have a navigable
stream, we have a number Of boat
excursions in addition to those
given b. the Southern Pacific. The
Ladies' Aid Society of my church
in connection with the w. G.. Il. u.
chartered a boat and gave an excur-
sion down the Teche via Cen
treville, Patterson and Morgan City
to Shell Island. The colored citi-
zens give boat excursions frequently.
They have an elegant brass band,
and when they wish the black
cloud to gather, they only have to
pound their drums and foot their
horns. They are great for s''scur-
sions."
Perhaps some of our Lafayette
friends would like to know the re-
suit of our silver wedding. Not
outstanding a light rain, we had
nice. crowd present and a nice
time. Ice cream and cake in su-
perabundance. The crowd slipped
cream and ate cake from to 10
p. m. and yet did not eat it all.
The presents we're silver of course,
and consisted of a sugar bowl and
spoon, a butter dish and knife, a
pair of napkin rings, set of table
and tea spoons, and thirteen bright,
hard silver dollars. We received
one beautiful piece of silver coin
from Lafayette. This is certainly
green spot in our life, which can
never be forgotten. With love for
you and stJim," and every one else
in Lafayette, we put down period.
Cordially, H. ARMSTRONG.

Ida b. Wells is in Indianapolis,
where she has organized an anti
lynching league to prevent the
lynching of negro rapists in the
South. just when the fair Ida was
pictnring to some sympathetic
Hoosiers. the ills of her down-trod-
den brothers in the South, some
Indiana citizens, armed with win
chesters, were scoring the country
near Huntington for some negroes
who had committed unspeakable
outrages upon the persons of a
white woman and her child. This
is only one of the many instances
which prove that the Northern peo-
pie are as quick as the Southerners
TO mete out summary justice to the
brutes who commit this horrid
crime. In spite of all the lies of
the black flower from Memphis and
the sentimental gush of few cranks
in the North the white people of the
South will continue to do just as
sshey please.

The Cream of Current
ThOuOht.


PUBLIC OPINION, published at Washington,
ID. c., is weekly journal devoted to the
reproduction, in condensed form, of carefully
selected magazine articles and of editorials
comment from the representative daily and
weekly press of all political parties, and
from all parts of the country. The readers
of PUBLIC OPINION get all sides of every
question. 1t is just the paper that the
farmer and vllager need for general reading.
1t keeps its readers fully abreast of the
times and supplies them with the best
thought of the day in the fields of American
Affairs, Foreign Affairs Sociology, Commerce,
Finance, Religion, Science, Education, Art.
and New Books. PUBLIC OPINION and the
rural weekly supplement each other admir-
ably. Together they give the farmer or
villager and his family more of current news,
editorial comment, and magazine literature
than can be had in any other way for five
times their cost. The price of PUBLIC
OPINION has been reduced from $500 to
so per year. We have just completed
arrangements by which we can offer PUBLIC
OPINION and The Gazette for $500 cash
per year.

THE SCHOOL BOARD.

The School Board held special
session last Saturday for the tran
saction Of urgent business, but
strange to say nothing of conse-
quence was accomplished.
Without going into particulars it
would appear from the record that
the Board has acted very inconsis-
tently in some matters. In the Sc
lection of teachers great care should
be exercised and employment given
to none but sober and competent
persons. Nepotisn and favorit;sm
should have no influence in such
matters especially when the eficien-
cy of the schools is made sacri-
fee a-.H. ~
A proposition of deep Importance
to public education has been sprung
by certain members OF the Boa I'd.
1t is the apportionment of funds to
the various wards upon a pro rata
basis. This had been the plan gov
erning the Board until recently,
when, by unanimous vote, the funds
were placed in one general fund
with the proviso that each ward
should be entitled to ten months
of school per annum. Several
members are now demanding that
the old plan Of pro rata distribution
be adopted in preference TO the ex-

is plea for larger measure of common
sense and justice being exercised toward
young folks growing into maturity by
parents and guardians in regard to the
proper functions of their bodies, and the
relations of the sexes. 1t also shows the

parish, La, whose plantation had
gone several weeks without rain,
thought it a curse in punishment
for his wickedness, and he pur-
.suaded all of his family to join the
Babtist church with him that night.
Next morning and night he had
family prayers, and during the sec
ond night was visited by hard
rain, as he thought. He awoke
his family and offered up thanks,
and the next morning he and his
son went out to look at the crops.
He found that the hail had almost
ruined his entire crop, and ex-
claimed, tsWe have played h-ll;
gone and overdone the thing. -
