The Respite ofAbsnIre.

Our esteemed contemporaries, the
Crowley Signal and the Rayne Tri.
bune appear to be unduly exercised
over the fact that the Governor in
response to a largely signed petition
granted a respite to Sylvester Alb
shire, convicted of the murder of
Mack Lyons, town marshal OF
Rayne. This is by no means an un-
common occurrence in this or any
other State. In the State Of New
York, there is at this moment, a
criminal, DR.. Buchanan, who has had
the date Of his execution fixed four
different times and it will be neces-
sary for the Governor of that State
to fix the day for the fifth time be-
fore he is executed. In Abshire's
case, the facts of which and the cele-
rity Of his trial and conviction we
forbear any discussion Of, a respite
was necessary in order to afford
necessary time that the matter might
be properly considered by the Board
OF Pardons. Any attempt to make
political capital out Of a very ordi.
nary occurrence will certainly fall
short. We do not suppose our
contemporaries are particularly thirs'
ty for human gore, or they would
have long since devoted their able
effort to secure the conviction Of the
large number of brutal murderers in
Acadia who have gone unwhipt of
justice.

Miss Ida Gooch who has been
sick for a month is still very sick.
These exhibitions are hard on the
children coming as they do in such
warm weather.
Sickness of so many at our burg
prevented them from attending the
Parish Picnic.
Alphonse Baudoin has had an at
tack of pneumonia but is getting
well again, slowly.
VIM Gooch's new house is nearing
completion and is a very tasty and
commodious residence.
Belle Ransom is quite sick with
pneumonia and stomach trouble, she
is a little better to day.
Jessie Ransom, Dora Stansbnry,
Rosa Mills and several others were
taken sick the evening of the exhibi.
ton, but are all better now.
j. NJ. Ransom made a trip to
Lake Arthur and Lakeside last week
and is enthusiastic in his praise of
the hospitality Of the good people Of
these places; he was the guest Of
Ambrose Mouton and Mr.. Manner
at Lake Arthur, and N. l.. Miller

Perry schools closed the school
term with an exhibition that did
credit to teachers and pupils. There
was some very good acting done,
especially a dialogue called "Dyna-
mite" acted by Misses Eva Sutton,
Victoria Gooch, Daisy Ransom and
Ernest Fletcher; it was in three acts
and occupied nearly an hour in rem
dering and was pronounced extreme.
" well done BY the large and intel.
.ligent audience, and an Essay by
Johnnie Gooeh and one by Joe
Gooch, and a dialogue by Philip
Nugier and one by the Gooch boys
were especially complimented. The
songs were sung beautifully, and a
march and fan drill splendidly exc
cuted. The opening and closing by
John Nugier were especially good.
I tell you Perry schools don't take a
back seat BY apy means. This term
has been very benefcially taught
and given satisfaction to all.
