The Negro Republicans made
a proposition some time ago to
the Sugar Republicans, offering
to give them some representation
in their committee, but the plant
ers disappointed the negro politi-
clans by fatty refusing to have
anything to do with them. This
is right and proper, let the negro
keep out of politics, he will be
better treated by the white people,
and the white people will get
along better without their politi-
cal influence.

Dear Mister Eaiter:-Again. after
some time, ! will arap you a few lines
from our little town. Uncle Roy has
taken tho place Of chief reporter fol
your humble correspondent this week
as Aunt Liz is otherwise engaged dur
ing the holidays. do not mean to
t1atter Uncle Roy because he is related
to me at all, but really | do think he
comes as near getting all the news as
anyone else IN the community, unless
it is Aunt Liz.
! have often thought how easy it
would be to II a newspaper in Lock
port. With two such reporters as
Uncle Roy and Aunt Liz, and such a
n as your humble correspondent as
editor, there is no reason why one of
the newsiest papers in the State could
hot be run in our little town.
Uncle Roy reports the following:
DIR. Sohn Davenport of New Iberia
spent a few days in Lockport this
week visiting his parents and many
friends.
The Christmas tree and entertain
ment given by the Lockport Public
School, last Monday night, was a
grand success. The tree was loaded
with beautiful and costly presents.
The entertainment was good all the
way through fer boys and girls of the
ages of those who took part, but the
duet by Emmett and Stanley Tuite,
the recitation by Luke Barrios, and
the solos by Miss Agnes Tuite were
especially good. The audience was
n of the largest ever assembled in
the school house.
Mr.. G. II. Barrios of Jeanerette. ar
rived before Christmas to spend the
holidays with his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. G. ID. Barrios.
III. :. u. bourgeois Is IN L0ckpDrt
this week engaged in the practice of
his profession-dentistry.
The social given by Mr.. and Ms.

lowing were those in attendance:
