Beatty's Organs and Pianos.

Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, of Washington,
New Jersey, the great Organ and Piano
Manufacturer, is building and shipping
more Organs and Pianos than ever. In
1870 Mr.. Beatty left home a penniless
pillow boy, and by his indomitable will he
has worked his way up so as to cell 30
far, over 100000 of Beatty's Organs and
Pianos since 1870. Nothing seems to dis
hearten him; obstacles laid in his way,
that would have wrecked an ordinary
man forever, he turns to an advertise
ment and comes out of it brighter than
ever, He was mayor of Washington,
New Jersey, from 1879 to 1883, five terms,
and recently declined denomination for
the sixth term. His instruments, as is
we'll known, are very popular and are to
be found in all pats Of the world. We
are informed that during the next ten
years he intends to sell 100000 more OF
his make; that means business of $20,-
100000. if we average them at $4,000
each. It is already the largest business
Of the kind in exitence. Write or call
upon Daniel F. Beatty. Washington. New
Jersey, for catalogue.

One of the most disgusting
things the yearling boys of Grant
parish indulge in is the carrying
of pistols. They attend church at
the country appointments In droves,
and as they gallop their horses by
decent and orderly people, you can
see every chap of them clap his
hand on his hip pocket to keep his
pistol from Topping into sight. If
the fathers of these 16, Is and 20
year old calves, would teach them
that such exhibitions are contempt
IDLE and cowardly, it would 60 a
long way toward checking the evil.
These youngsters don't know how
silly it makes them appear to be
packing pistols to church and soci-
able gatherings, or they certainly
would quit it. No gentleman ever
does such a thing, and the chap
that does it can be set down as a
craven coward at heart, who vainly
imagines it makes him appear
brave to go thus armed.

The Public school Funds.

Several inquiries have been
made of us as to why the regular
quarterly statement of the school
funds of Grant parish was not pub
lished in April, as has been the
case without interruption for about
ten years.
In answer we will state that the
reason is that there is a disagree
ment between the treasurer and
the parish, superintendent OF
schools, of 1877 IS, as to the
credit of the various funds.
At the meeting of the school
board in April this matter was re-
ferred to q committee, which has
not yet made its report. The COM
mittee are Messrs. r. s. Cameron,
j. F. Kelly and Jno. A. Williams.
From statements made by Mr..
Cameron, we are led to believe that
$50 60 of the amount dates back
to an error of Mr.. g. H. Mcknight
in 1893, which he should make
good. Another error is probably
caused by the report of Mr.. Nc
Knight Oct. 2, 1895, of 1917 36,
which he charges to himself in his
report of the general fund for dis
tribution, and then adds note at
the bottom of his report, saying he
has on hand the same S317 36 for
distribution. This mislead the su-
perintendent SO that he included
the 1917 36 in two different appor-
tionments, thereby making the
present treasurer doubly response
BILE for the amount
We make this statement as en-
bodying correct solution of the
controversy. Our figures may not
agree to q cent with those of the
committee, but we believe that
when their report is made in July
there will be no material difference,
and that the whole thing will be
settled by Mr.. Mcknight paying
over about sixty dollars more than
he has already turned in.

The civil term of the Grant par
ish district court will convene next
Monday, with q docket of ffty-odd
cases. OF this number it is likely
that about forty cases will be ready
for trial, and, if the Judge can
stay with us that long. at least two
weeks will be consumed in finish
ing the docket.

The Peoples Demands has chang-
ed mp it's forms, and is soon to re-
ceive a new head for the paper.
Now, if the editor of that paper
had . new head on his shoulders,
We might expect some improve
ment in that quarter; but, alas, we
fear there is no hope for improve
ment in his case, as he thinks he is
perfection already.
