A Timely Appeal.

Editor GaZette-lle Lafayette
Public School opened Sept. 9, with
an enrolment of I4o pupils, 4
number beyond the efficient work.
ing capacity of the three teachers
employed. A number of children
have been turned away since open
ing day and as many pupils in at
tendance last session have not en-
tered yet. The situation is becom-
coming more and more embaras-
sing every day. II is indeed hard
to refuse willing and anxious child
rem so essential boon as rudi-
mentary education and yet under
present circumstances it must be
done. A little girl, neat and firm,
came to school this week; her little
face, all radiant with expectations,
but-alas was obliged to return
home, her eyes filed with tears
and her heart broken by the cruel
disappointment. Parents come al
most every day to demand adj
mission for their children and l sim
ply ask the question, GLOW long
shall this condition of affairs be
tolerated in Lafayette 20 1t is a
question that demands Immediate
consideration, and prompt and de-
cisive action. 1t is a question that
effects the material progress of
Lafayette to a far greater extent
than the solution of financial prob
lens discussed ad infinitum ct al
nauseam.
But TO the business point.
The Board has always done with
it's limited resources all that could
be reasonably expected, and, it is
safe to say, win cotinue to do SO.
But, the community must come
bravely forward with timely and
substantial assistance. The gods
help them that help themselves.
My proposition is this; Employ
an extra teacher to take, say SO or
40 beginners out Of the primary
department and with chat, black
board, ETC., instruct them for half
a day IN room by themselves,
thus doing more effective work and
relieving the primary grades. l
have the rom and we must get the
teacher. A gentleman without soil
citation has pledged S. 90, and in
vite all interested to consider the
matter, and consult with the di-
rector, Mr.. J. T.. Trahan, or the
undersigned in order that some def
mite action may be secured at the
next meeting Of the Board in Octo-
Der. Friends, I am in earnest in
this matter and I beseech your
hearty cooperation to the end that,
ample accommodation, may be af-
forded all who desire public educa-
ton. The cost of this arrangement
will be nominal.

leans this week on business.

"Cherokee" will wager a pound
box of Huylers chocolates that the
! Royv1lle girls are the lovliest of the
parish.
Another bet: A box of Robert
| Manteli cigars, that Ike Broussard
will be sheriff till 1900.
Should the past be unfurled, won
der if our "Reformers" would still
put up their same defence?
Cherokee had the pleasure of Sec
ing "ardent" Democrats come to
Royville few weeks back, and
whisper in his presence secrect invi-
! tations. We were not honored with
an 'invite;" why, we know not.
Probably these democratic cham
pioas" feared we were not true to
their cause. Was it that they
wished to confde this sssec,-ct zyo,-k''
to only a select and limited few !?
AS all events, it matters with US
very little. We know how to act
and our friends will follow our foot
steps. "Cherokee" is personally
out Of politics, but to make it hot
for some zones" he'll do so, and
don't you forget it. Let the cham
pgain open!
We hope the Democrats of this
parish will make a close distinction
between pure and real Democrats,
and between t'Democrats" who are
''Democrats" only when the Demo-
cratic party is in majority. Bear
in mind, fellow citizens, a number
of the Democrats posing before you
to-day are Republicans from prin-
ciptes, and are flying false colo1s
simply to secure your suffrage.
Watch them closely
For the Offices of justice Of the
peace of this ward, "Cherokee"
suggests with pleasure the names of
two Democrats. Gentlemen who
have made honesty and uprightness
their principles through life. No
men could fulfill the duties of those
offices with more honor and dignity
than could Messrs 3. Philogene
Landry and Laodis Broussard.
AS yet, Royville remains without
representative on the School Board.
1t is now nearly year since the
Hon. II. Theall resigned, and no
appointment has been made. We
are informed Messrs. Olivier Blan-
chct and A. l.. Dyer made applica-
tions for the office. Both are up
right and able gentlemen, and we
are surprised the Board has not vet
acted.
Several candidates for police ju-
TOR are mentioned. We hear of
Messrs. O. Theriot, Luc;en Brous-
saru, J. L. primeaux, Adrien The
all.
Mr.. Emedis Broussard is very i'll.
Nelson Higgnbotham has returned
than ever.
Misses Elvia Primeaux and Julia
Comeaux, have returned home after
a pleasant stay of a few days, as
guests Of Miss Fabre, of Maurice
Vile.
Miss Eleanor Theriot is visiting
friends at Abbeville.

nations upon combinations are be-
ing made for clerk of court Here

ABRAHAM LINCOLN ON DRINK.

Whether or not the world would be
vastly benefited by total and final BAN
ishment from it of all Intoxicating drinks
seems to me not now an open question.
Three-fourths of mankind confess the
affirmative with their tongues; and, l
believe, all the rest acknowledge it in
their hearts. Ought any, them to refuse
their aid in doing what the good Of the
do much be for that reason excused if
he do nothing? "But," says one, what
good can l do by signing the pledge? I
never drink, even without signing"
This question has already been asked
and answered more than million times.
Let it be answered once more, For the
man, suddenly or in any other way to

aid and thrown around him. And not
only SO, but every moral prop should be
taken from whatever argument might
rise in his mind to lure him to his back
sliding. When he casts his eyes around
him, he should be able to see all that he
respects. all that he admires, all that he
loves kindly and anxiously pointing him
onward, and none reckoning him back
to his former miserable "wallowing in
the mire."

know about EN-" And so the rose
by any other name, while retaining
its original fragrance and beauty,
would waste its sweetness in acovered
box, because people were prejudiced
