Resigns From the School Board,

Resigns From the School Board
1t was with universal regret that
the people, last week, saw the resig-
na,ion of Mr.. H. H. Hargrove from
the parish school board, in the papers
of our city. s.
It was no surprise to the editor OF
The Progress because he WAS presen
at the first meeting held on the Ord
inst, and felt that he saw evidences
of an sntagonism to him which
would destroy his usefulness. VI
course we may have been mistaken,
but that was the impression left on
the writer's mind and that MIR. Har-
grove, too, was of the same impress
sion is evidenced by his resignation.
The withdrawal of Mr.. II. H. Har
grove from the schoolboard will be
felt in public school circles not only
in our parish, but all over the State.
This work lay close to his affections
Like matters connec ed with his own
private business and domestic affairs,
he gave it close, studious attention;
he made it matter of serious mo.
ment to his heart. This was fac,
we'll known to all who had any
knowledge of any kind, practical or
theoretical, of the public school work
Oh, how be did love it; how he did

The Byran and Sewsl club Of our
city gave it's first public rally Friday
night ut The opera house, and it was
q success 80 patent that one and all,
~ far IS The Progress has heard. en-
Enthusiastically admitted and declared
it.
The fact that tho Hon. Charles Il.
Hooker, the gifted Mlssissipplan, the
silver topgued statesman was to ad-
dress the assemblage made it OF double
interest, and many we're eager to hear
his rich voice raised in advocacy OF
blmetslIism, the platform on which
the noble Bryan stands. The meet
ing was called to order by the old
veteran Capt. }. g. Soape, the hero OF
many political battle, the President
Of the Bryan and Sewsl club. who
briefly, but pointedly as is his custom,
announced the object Of the meeting
and perfected the organization &C.
cording to the program mapped out
