tablished through the benevolence of Col.
George s. Park, the founder of the town.
From its beginning in 1875 the funds for
general expenses have never been an as

the generosity OF friends, and students be-
ing received whether or not they can pay
any part of the tuition fee. Those VINO cam

When was General Grant a Democrat?
How was he nominated for the presidency
by the Republican party?-B. s.
Before the war and until he was nomi-
mated by the Republicans Grant was Dem
ocrat. He had cast but one vote at presi-
Dental election, and that was in 1856, for
Buchanan. He was nominated by the Re-
publicans because he was available and be-
cause his friends in the party knew that
his politics were not strongly enough Demo-
cratic to prevent him from being good
enough Republican to run for President
They counted on his becoming a Republican
after he had been elected. They acted just
in time to prevent the Democrats from
nominating him. AS an army officer he had
little interest in politics until his friends got
hold of him, and it was simply question
of which side got him first

care of her in crossing the river

hotel or boarding house in safety,
which duty, of course, Paul was
too glad to accept. and he took a
seat by the fair eloper, and engag-
ed in conversation, and they look
ed every bit pair of fond lovers.
While the train was speeding
its way towards the metropolis, the
father of the young lady telegra-
phed to the police Of New Orleans
to arrest the pair on sight, and at
a station few miles before reach
ing New Orleans, a pair of detec-
tives entered the train and COM
menced to look for the happy pair,
and finally concluded that they
had them; tapping Paul on the
shoulder one of the detectives told
him "you are my prisoner
"What?" said Paul greatly asto-
nished "Under arrest and for
what?"
You eloped with this girl and
we have orders to arrest YOU and
the girl said the detective.
"The girl may be alright" Paul
said 'but l am the wrong man, l
don't know this young lady and l
have just met her."
But the detective produced a
telegram from the father of the
girl giving the descriptions, and
they decided that Paul was the
man and he was held a prisoner
until New Orleans was reached
when he convinced the police that
he was victim of circumstances.
Paul was finally allowed to 90, but
his fair companion was held to
await the arrival of her father.

A Sensational Adventure.

A pretty little story is told us
about our young friend, Paul j.
Fleming, who proved victim of
circumstances.
The story runs thus: One day
last week was agreed upon be-
tween a pretty young lady from
Rayne and a young man from
Franklin to elope on the regular
train and to proceed to New Or
leans where they were to be mar
ried. The young lady, faithful to
her agreement boarded the train,
but the fellow failed to show up
when the train reached Franklin,
and, of course, great was the dis
appointment of the pretty girl.
She had never been to New Or
leans, and in her trouble to know
what to do when she gets to New
Orleans was drawing plans; at this
moment the train reached Schrie-
yer, when Paul Fleming boarded
the train, and it appears that he
answers the description of the fell
lew who failed to meet his APP
pointment, and the poor girl i'm
mediately appealed'to him to take

long, curly shavings. Besides this. each
layer is packed in sawdust. When the
whole of the cargo is placed aboard, the
deck, will be covered with a second deck
This deck is to be wet down every day,
SO that the true deck may be kept cool
by the evaporation from the false deck.
This style of packing is much different
from that in the ice houses. even when
the ice is packed to be kept three or four
years. In reality this manner of packing
is something of an experiment and Is
necessary for the reason that it is not
known when the ice can be landed. 1t Is
feared by the managers of the company
that the schooner may be obliged to re-
main in the harbor for several days, I'M

this will cause the ice to melt.
