The educational campaign fol
the special tax to get. the indus.
trial school in the parish of St.
Martin will afford a splendid op.
portunity to Prof. Greig's Band
to devote itself to the public good
No doubt the committee will have
to call meetings to address, the
people upon this very important
question, and good Band in at
tendance at such meetings, stirs
up the enthusiasm of the people
and greatly contributes to the sue
cess of the cause. What say you
to this Professor?

The industrial school has no
better advocate than Mr.. John B.
Guesser, a German who came in
this country some Is years ago.
MIR. Guesser is a typical Ger
man farmer and knows what an
industrial education means in the
old country, and has an idea of
the benefit he would derive from
the industrial school for his boys.
Every man in position like Mr..
Guesser, who can appreciate the
advantages to be derived from this
school, in the parish, should make
it his duty to say a good word for
the special tax.

GAMBLING BY MINORS.

Last week we published a letter
written by one of our young men,
touching upon the gambling OF
minors in this town, which we un-
derstand is carried on almost open
ly by certain class of young boys.
When we first read the letter
we did not attach much impor.
lance to it because we thought it
was greatly exaggerated, but since
its publication, we have learned
that every word contained in that
letter was nothing but the plain
truth.
We believe the proper step to
break up this practice is to have
the town authorities to look into
the matter, and give the police
officers instructions to look after
the boys and prevent them from
gambling, and if they have any
particular places to play cards, to
warn the owners of these establish
ments that gambling by minors
will not be permitted.

One case of yellow fever in New
Orleans this week, has put the
whole country in state of uneasi-
ness. The only case thus far re-
ported has resulted fatally. The
health authorities of the city are
baffled as to the origin of this case.
Quarantine troubles and inconvi.-
niences are causing more worry to
the people in general than the one
case of fever reported in New Or
leans. We hope that this will be
the end of it.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

deafness cannot be Cured
by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining of the Eus.
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing. and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

The Industrial school is not a
political issue, and politicians de-
string the good will of the pro-
gressive citizens of st. Martin pa
IRISH should be careful not to work
against it. The suffrage is now in
the hands of intelligent men, who
can read and write and cannot be
bought. The future politicians of
the parish must look to the inter-
est of the parish or get left: This
is a fight of the younger genera
ton for progress and education
and every good citizen, politician,
business man or professional man
must follow the current of advance
ment.

The fight for the Industrial
school, is a fight to be made by
the younger generation for educa-
ton, particularly industrial educa-
ton. We want our boys educated
to earn an honest living. A young
man may have enough book learn
ing to be termed smart, yet not be
in a position to put his education
in practical use to earn a living.

All About The Industrial School.

An enthusiastic citizen proud of
his native parish remarked that If
st. Martin failed to get the Indus
trial school, he would still retain
a certain feeling of satisfaction
knowing that Senator Robert Mar
tin. who originated the idea of the
Industrial school for this district,
is a native and resident of this pa
IRISH, and that therefore, his pa
IRISH still leads while other parish
es follow in the race for progress.

Capt. E. T. King when asked
what the prospects of Iberia were,
to get the industrial school, said
that the people there were workers
and were raising money by sub
scription, but when told that New
Iberia claimed to have $4,000
ready cash, he said that it was a
clear case of bluff, the people of
New Iberia were putting up to
keep st. Martin out of the race.
