Talk Up Your Town.

How many Of you do thiss How many
of you are there who never miss an Op.
portunity to tell of the good things to be
had In Lake Charles and the induce
ments she offers to those seeking u place
to invest their capitalf
Every citizen who resides in Lake
Charles should believe in the town. If
you don't believe that Lake Charles is
just little better in most respects than
its neighbOrs, you should move out or
keep 1t to yourself, at least Like all
other places it has its advantages that
other towns have not, and your mOdesty
should not prevent you from speaking of
that fact whenever or wherever the Op-
pOTtunity presents itself At home OF
abroad, whether in pursuit of pleasure
or engaged in business, do not neglect TO
give those with whom you come in con
tact TO understand that you reside in a
live town, populated by intelligent, pro-
grcssiye, go-ahcad, Intelligent people,
aud a town that is advancing rather
than retTOgrading
If you can truthfully speak In com
mcndatIOn Of the ability of our proies-
sional men, the enterprsing newspapers,
the square dealing methods of our mer-
chants, the excellence Of our mechanics,
the superiority Of our churches, schools
and other institutions, and the industry,
energy and sObriety Of our citizens gen
orally, let nothing prevent you from OK
ercising that privilege. You should
learn to believe, if you do not already,
that we have all these, and a beautiful
country of fertile farms, titled by an III
telIigent class of farmers, aud the lum-
Der industry, that brings its thousands
of dollars to our city weekly, and almost
daily.
If there are any drawbacks (but for
tunately we have none Of account) 1t
will not be necessary for yon to mention
them; the people of nelghbOring and
| competing towns will do that for US
Strangers seeking a location are always
greatly influenced in fuyor ofa place
| whose citizens are l0ud and enthusiastic
in ITS praise.
Our town cannot expect 10 attaiu
prominence unless its inhabitants ap.
preciate the excellence aud virtues 0i
each other, aud will collectively spread
abroad their faith in the present pros,
perity and future growth of ouF city
Talk Is cheap commodity, bpt when
rightly utilized it can be made effective
in many directions, and this IL one Of
them.

A crescent moon in a starry sky
And zephyrs softly stealing by.
Serenely fair the dewy night
Fit time for innocent delight.
In Lake Charles stands mansion white
Prepared for guests on such o night,
Half hidden midst the orange trees,
Theirleavos scarce stir, solight the breeze.
A crowd soon comes-thc great and small,
The young and old-sthere's room for all {;
And he who would a partner get
From box must draw a gay rOsette.
Did some draw pleasure--sOme dismay 7
Swallow the dose and nothing say.
Under the trees gay lanterns SWING
And bright lamps shOne the trees among
Under the trees were tables laid,
Flowers beautiful hues displayed;
Cake, sherbert, ice cream, lemonade,
Coffee and tea-and water clear;
Surely temperance reigneth here.
The lemonade stand don't forget,
For that is the strangest thing, as yet.
Did it sell cheapi 1t might be dear
For genuine frog presided here.
There was department for the Mail"
The postmaster "hearty and Hale !"
His assistant was young and fair,
And letters few like birds in air;
They had not Travelled many miles
But bro't good news-to judge by smiles.
How quickly the pleasant hours fly;
Bid some good-night-a few goodbye
A pleasant trip far north for some,
Others return to their southern homo
The pastor, home from the Queens domain,
Now bids them all goodbye again.
For this pleasant time our thanks are due
To members of the B. Y. =. IT,.

The Old School House,

When We ga2e with pride upon and
point out to visitors OHr fine educational
facilities enjoyed in this city, our mind
Teverts to 0mr bOyhOOd days aud the old
school house where we first thumbed
Websters elementary spelling book
nearly half century ago in the wilds of
Indiana, not fifty miles from the city of
Chicago.
The cabin was bnilt of logs, hewed on
one side and notchcd at the end, piled
one upon the other. The spaces between
the logs We're chunked aud daubed with
mud SO as to make it warm in winter,
and there was a fireplace with mud
and stick chimney in one end. The room
was about 1916 feet, and had four small
windows, one at either end and side
which were originally glazed, but when
light was broken it was seldom re-
placed with glass, bnt as a substitute, u
half sheet of oiled f00lscap paper was
used which was transparent, The
desks which were for the older pupils
were on three sides against the wall, and
made by boring holes in the logs, in
sertiug pegs and mailing thereon boards.
The younger children, not old enough TO
| write, sat on benches in the center Of the
room. These benches were made by
splitting logs about 8 foot in diameter,
and after smoothing off with broad AK,
inserting pegs on the convex side IN
cliuing slightly 0utwards. These benches
were all of the same height, and the feet
of the sig year-old uFchin failed to touch
the floor by several inches.
The building of this structure probably
occupied about two days time Of per-
haps a dozen of the hardy pioneers Of
TINT day, and the hardware cost less
than 0 dollar The door was Of slabs,
hung on wooden hinges, the latch also
wooden with leather string, no lock
being necessary.
BIackboards, outliue maps, charts and
globes were upkpown. Steel pens were
unknown, and large part Of the time
of the master, (there were no teachers
in those days. was devoted to the making
Or mcndipg of qpill pens.

Views Of a Real Estate Man.

Those best qualified to judge predict
Il larger immigration to Caleasieu parish
and Lake Charles ip particular, than has
been the case for o number Of years,
Ono of our real estate agents who is a
thoughtful man, aud never talks for
talks sake, reasons about as follows
For sopc months prior to the c0mmencC-
mc4t Of our financial troubles large
number Of people from the north had
their eyes turned IN this direction, and
many bad made mp their minds to come.
When the crisis came which struck the
north months before ii did the south, it
put stop to everything. Nothing could
be sold. Values were universally nnset
tied, and then followed the period Of
expectancy. Now we are on the era Of
better tunes; in fact the north has already
began to recover, and these people who
have been waiting for more than Q year
to dispose Of their property will now DO
able to do 50 and make the contemplated
change,
Then, again, there will be an exodus
from the droutl- stricken country Of the
northwest, and where can there be found
3 country that has superior advantages
or one better advertised than southwest
Louisiana, Of which Lake Charles is the
metropolis. "Yes, ! think there will be
an advance al along the line, and both
city and country property viii advance.
Within very short time the hundreds
of millions Of surplus money IN the banks
Of New York and othCF money cepters
will be let loose for the moving of the
crops and then win come the beginning
Of prosperity
