What About Grant Parish9

The grand old parish of st. Lam
dry, long known as the Empire
parish of the State" has incorpor-
ated in her annual budget for the
present year an item appropriating
$1,000 for the support of the public
schools. This is the first time since
the war that any appropriation for
this purpose has been made by the
parish, and it is gratifying to the
friends of education to note the in
creased interest which our st. Lam
dry friends manifest in the cause.
In addition to this the good citizens
of Opelousas have, during the past
twelve months, erected magnifi-
cent High School building said to
be the finest public school building
in the State--and launched it into
successful operation on the first of
the present year. Verify the cause
of education is q live issue. Baton
Rouge Advocate.
Grant parish, which is fully 70.
fifths less wealthy than st. Landry.
has been putting Is per cent of her
revenues in the public school fund
every year for the past FIVE or six
years, and the help our schools get
from this source amounts to about
$500 per annum. We don't make
any brag for having early taken
advantage of the law which allows
us to provide for the children Of
our household, but would merely
ask if Grant parish does not size
up fairly in this connecticut

On last Sunday night the towns Of
Wesson. Beauregard and Newton. in the
State OF Mississippi, were visited with q
destructive storm, in which three or four
persons lost their lives. This storm APP
pears to have prevailed in many local.
ties at the Same time. and was generally
destructive to property. It started a. q
great stofsns and broke mp into frsgmen-
tary hurricanes that took different routes
and swept everything in their paths. 1t
viii be Rendered that only q few years
since that same region was visited by q
terribly destructive storm, in which the
towns OF Wesson and Beauregsrd suffer
ed appalling death and destruction. Cy-
clones and storms appear to travel regu-
lar paths, and the region indicated seems
to receive such visitations frequently.

Remarkable Gallows Scene.

Remarkable GallOWB Scene,
One of the most remarkable GAL
lows scenes that we have ever heard
of occurred at Hattissburg. Miss,
on Feb 7th. It was the occasion
Of the hanging of Win Purvis, for
the assassination of an inoffensive
citizen who had incurred the dis
pleasure of the White Cappers of
that region. The moose was so in
securely tied around the mans neck
that it slipped of and the condemn
ed man fell to the ground but little
hurt except the rasping Of the skin
of his neck by the rope. Three
thousand people were present, and
Immediately began to clamor to
have the mans life spared A
Methodist preacher who was pres
emit claimed that it was Divine in
tervention, and q vote was called
for ~ to whether the hanging
should 60 on. Only ten or q doz-
en- favored it. and 30 the sheriff
concluded to postpone matters for
q while. A great deal of interest
is manifested as to Gov. Stones
action, whether he will reprieve or
fix another day for the execution.
The sheriff also comes in for good
deal of criticism, the general idea
being that be should have perform
ed his duty, and not allowed him.
self to be influenced by supersti-
ton. No hindrance or violence
was offered by the crowd, only
Importantly and request, and he
could have gone ahead without in
reference. As the mans crime
was fully established, it becomes
an interesting question e to how
the sheriff will come ont.

A year afterward, when the summons came
to Oscar Eldon to go West and wind up the
affairs of his deceased uncle. he met Helen in
the kitchen and told her that when he came
back he should claim her for his wife.
And, when Oscar Eldon was gone, Helen
still sang on at her work. but there was
sweeter cadence than ever in her tones
The clock was striking five in the kitchen.
Helen was pairing apples by the fire, and Mrs
Eldon sat by the window counting a pretty
roll of bank notes.
"Ninety-five-100-200 that's the 500 bill
Ford paid for the colt-205-lO-2O-5O I
don't feel safe to have so much money in the
house, Helen-I shall drive over to the bank
and deposit it tomorrow"
''Yes.r said Helen. simply. 'I never saw
so much money at one time before: it must be
very nice to be rich"
''Rich child, we're not rich. only comforta-
BILE. but the money must be put in the bank
right off, Who's that knocking at the door?
OH it's Deacon Elderly. Well, deacon, this
is great idea-we, with our orchard, buying
apples"
''wal," quoth the deacon, ''trees is Jest as
queer as people sometimes. Now there's my
Baldwins han't done nothin' for two year,
and-yes. it's all right, Mrs. Eldon-S5 you
owed US afore and S5 now-makes So
Thanks
The deacon disappeared and Mrs. Eldon
came in from the door step.
Can I 50 out this morning, Mrs. Eldop2"
