The 10th section 657 acres in Township

of this stands to credit of Indian Bayou

Both schools are in the township are
entitled to their prorata share of the funds
accruing from said 10th section. Who

Too True

Man is born of a woman, spanked
by the hired nurse, jerked around by
schoolmasters and attended with a
varied assortment of trouble. He
fingers on luxury's lap until his pa
terpal ancestors fire him out to begin
his battle with the world. He be-
comes an editor Of a newspaper; his
friends promise to assist him, but in
the hour of need he finds them like
Scent chimneys, are easily broken.
II he refuses to be sociable with Jim,
Tom and Jack they say he is stuck
up, and if he makes intimates of
everybody he is counting public
favor. If he publishes all the news,
science, statistics, foreign reports
and outlook they say he is too fresh
IF he doesn't make a personal Of
every one in town they feel sighted,
and If he does he will finally run
across some man who does not like
to be personalized and get his head
punched.
As a representative of the press
he must endure the Affections Of
dead.headedism from the bar, stage.
society, individuals and corporations.
His paper is expected to give
strength to the weak, eyes to the
blind, clothes to the naked, bread to
the hungry. It is asked to cover up
inGrmities, hide weakness, wink at
auacks bolster up all dull, sap head
ed politicians and aatter the vain.
It is in short to be all things to all
men. and if it looks for any reward
it is denounced as a mean and sor-
did. There is no interest under the
whole heavens that is expected to
give as much to society without pay
or thanks as the press.
