FREE SCHOLARSHIPS,
In the Agricultural and Mechan-
ical College.

At their recent meeting the
Board of Trustees of the Agriculs
tural and Mechanical College
adopted the following resolutions:
Resolved, That each member of
the House of Representatives and
each member of the State Senate,
and each of the Board of Trustees
of the College be authorized and
requested to bestow free scholar
ship in the College upon some de-
serving young man, according to
the conditions of the law regulat-
ing such scholarships. These con-
ditions are:
1. Inability of the young man,
or of his parents or guardian to
pay tuition and room rent, amount
ing to $4,000 annually.
2. That he be prepared to en-
ter the College.
A certificate of inability to pay
must be signed by the young mans
father or guardian, also by the
person making the appointment.
Preparation to enter College
requires knowledge of arithme-
tic through common and decimal
fractions, of English Grammar
through the elements, and of
United States history Examina-
tions for admission will be con-
Quoted by the County Superin-
tendent of Education on Saturday,
August 18th, at 10 a. m., in the
County Court House. AS this is
not the regular day for such ex-
aminations, the Superintendent
can, if he chooses, charge each ap-
pllcanI Sl.
The examination papers will be
forwarded to me by the Superin-
tendent, and the appointee will be
notified Immediately whether he
has passed successfully, and is ap~
pointed by the College to a schol-
arship. Should he fail, he can be
examined again at the College IN
Raleigh, Tuesday, September 5th,
and should he fail here, he would
have to return home at his own
expense for the trip both ways.
There has been no increase in
the number of county scholarships.
At present, there arc about forty
vacancies, the total number being
one hundred and twenty. These
vacancies will be filed in the order
of priority of appointment. APP
pointees will be accredited to the
county where they reside, but if
vacancies from any county are not
filled by August 26th they will
then be filled by appointees from
other counties. 1t is very impor-
tant, therefore, that appointments
be made Immediately.

WEEKLY BUDGET
OF NEWS FROM BROUSSARD
AND VICINITY WRITTEN FOR
OUR READERS.

Mr.. Raoul Pellerin, of Lafayette,
visited Broussard last Sunday.
Professor ST. Julien went to
Lafayette last Saturday on a pecu-
MARY trip of course. And, on his
return we had to laugh at him. He
was disappointed, as were also all
the other teachers of the parish.
Whose fault was it, anyhow?
Messrs E A. Gauthier and H.
Billeaud were business visitors to
Lafayette last Tuesday.
The many friends of Mr.. V.
Broussard, the father of our town
will be grieved to hear that the
good old gentleman is still sinking.
He has been indisposed for some
time but, of late it seems as if the
hour of separation is approaching.
We hope, however, that the
will spare him for many
years to come to his many friends
and acquaintance.
The fair weather has been taken
of during the last few
days. The farmers may be seen
working with might and main at
the pressing duty of cane planting.
Some report two thirds of their
crop being lost while others claim
that half of it has been killed.

PIANO TALK.


How to make piano an ornamental as we'll
as useful article of furniture is serious
problem 70 the average housewife, for a
piano is a cumbersome piece of furniture,
it interferes seriously with its tone. How
ever, pianos are necessary-absolutely nee
essary-so all that can be done is to make it
look as attractive as possible. Of course,
the square piano is very rarely seen-long
ago being traded off for the upright or
grand. ~fhe modern upright of the style
of the Mathushek and Chickering are the
most used SO let us consider them as a
piece of furniture usually the most promi
nent article in the whole room. Position is
everything, which, of course, the size,
angles and openings in the room must gov
ern. But don't put the piano straight up
against the wall and don't have the key
board in the dark For drapery use
brocades, tapestries, better still light silks
TO match the colors of the room and which
inexpensive. Pushes and velvets too
small palm will look we'll the piano and SO
will photographs. A piano lamp or smaller
artistic lamp will add greatly to the piano
side of the room. By using a little care and
made the most decorative article in the
house.
An average of nearly 1000 pianos year
$4,000 Mathushek pianos sold in the South
ern States in IS years. VIVA: a record that
is! And it is just because the Mathushek is
made especially for damp climate. That's
the whole secret, and one many will appre-
ciate. Possibly you have had experience
with instrument that has warped and
shrunk and swollen and cracked as the damp
and dry weather comes and goes. Hardly
expect such instrument to be in tune.
But the Mathushek is guaranteed against
weather and climate and will keep its sweet
and perfect tones indefinitely.
Jones-Is your daughter improving with
her piano playing?
SMITH don't know whether she is
improving or am getting used to it, but
find can now stay in the house while she
practices.
Think of buying a piano by mail-just as
you would send to town for yard OF silk
a sheet of mus!c-yet it is done very often.
OF course, you must know the standing and
reputation of the firm you dealing with.
That goes without saying. The music house
of Werlein in New Orleans have a rather
novel offer. They will ship you a piano
trial IF you like it, you keep it. If not,
return it, and they pay the freight. 1, will
do no harm to write them about it.
