School Notice.

Owing to the inclemency of the wealth
or and wretched condition of the roads
only a few OF the teachers came in on the
last examination day, therefore the next
examination day is hereby fixed for Sat
urday, the 14th day Of April, 1894, instead
OF the 9th of June. This examination
will take place in the Colfax High School
room. As this will probably be the last
for the year 1904, all those expecting to
teach in the public schools of this parish,
except those receiving certificates on the
9th OF February, will do well to be ON
band on the 14th OF April, with their dol
lar for the Teachers Institute Fund, which
will be returned on failure to get certifi-

Gaar's Mill, La, March I. 1894
Editor Collar Chronicle:
The farmers are busy trying to get
ready to plant another crop, and at this
time rolling logs is the order of the day.
Almost every farmer Is taking in new
ground, which means that they believe in
keeping fresh land on hand all the time.
Mrs. W. S. Kelly and Mrs j. F. Smith
are quite sick with pneumonia, and there
are several cases Of la grippe in our neigh
borhood.
Nlessrs. Powell and Body were in our
country last week with drove of horses
which they we're trading for cattle. They
left on last Wednesday for Gansyille,
where they will stop few days.
Mr.. Aurelius Smith and Mr.. T.. e. j.
Grisham, are having themselves nice
houses put up near Gaar's Mill. Also
Rev. N. M. D. Gaar, and his brother j. +.
Gaar, ST., are having some nice dwelling
houses put up. Mr.. j. HI. Snow has the
material on the ground to erect nice
dwelling. The latter three live near Hud-
son postoffice.
Since the first of January there has
been four weeks at time that we never
had mail. We ask il any county can
beat this record? During 1894, that is up
to date, we have had the total number
OF four mails. May the time speedily
come when we can enjoy better mail
supply. In this connection we might
add that on January 18th, 1894, we order
ed some printed matter from Henry Il.
Myers, New Orleans, and at this date We
have received only part of the goods
ordered. Not long ago we received let
from New York City which was only 80
days on its journey. We think the mat
ter should be placed before the Postmas-
ter General at once.
There have been quite number of we'd
dings in our community this winter.
Our country was visited by Dentist
few ago, and he got good work to do |
while he remained in the community.
Mr. j. +. Gaar, Jr., who is clerkipg for |
r. B. Blanks, Columbia. was up on a Wis |
it too see his parents, and friends few
days ago.
Prof. r. l.. Jordan, went to New Or
leans not long since, to represent Kyiche |
lodge, F. & A. NJ. in the Grand State |
Lodge. He reported having had pleas
ant trip.
Ex-Assessor w. A. Smith, will get out
the initial number of his paper this week. |
The name of the aspirant for public fav-
1rs will be "The Excelsior" and we guess
hat its editor hopes to 'XL" in his new
ield. Mr.. G. M. Bevill will be the pub
Usher. We hope "The XLCR" may prove
20 be a profitable investment for its Editor.
A literary society has been organized
It the Gaar's Mill High School. The
name OF the society is the Gaar's Mill
Literary Society, and it meets every Sat
lrday night. We trust that it may con-
inue. Respectfully. W.P H.

the local labor organizations are talking
up the matter of securing proper

This activity is in accordance with an
appeal issued by President Gompers, of the
American Federation Of Labor, which will
be published in the August number OF the
american Fsderanf. the official organ of the
federation. 1t reads as follows:
Eugene V. Debs stands as one of the
most conspicuous and interesting figures
before the whole country. None doubt
his honesty and devotion to the
cause of the gronged against the
wrong-doers. Yesterday he was in
jail waiting the action of the
United states courts upon the charge of
contempt of its injunction. lie was re-
quested TO appear before four different
courts, located hundreds of miles from
each other. each at the same time.
lie Is under indictment for con-
spirsey for obeying the instructions
OF his organizations and request
ing railroad men 10 quit work to
aid their struggling fellow-workmen The
corporations have their claws ready to
fast-n upon the body of Debs, not
simply 10 try and crush him.
bat they hope TO force the men of
labor into silence aud siayish submission.
That purpose cannot. dare not and viii
not succeed Debs must ue defended. and
ably defended. In his person at this time
he represents the rights OF labor Eugene
V Dehs is a POOR man, he has no money
His tral and the preparation for il

and We know tnat the workers of the
country have never yet been applied 10 in
