The Natchitoches enterprise., 1897-06-24

There have been many and varied So

his honor, is lost beyond all hope of re-
demption. Do not violate your rules,
boys, in the thought that the world will

maxim, and to act a lie Is TO unstring
every cord and fiber Of your moral ma
urc which once unstrung can never be
e -attuned. This is a moral lecture
which it is hoped will bear the desired
ruit.
