1T is a surprising fact" says Prof.
Houton, that ID my travels 10 ali parts
of the world, for the last ten years, I have
met more people having used Green's
August Flower than any other remedy, for
dyepeEsia, deranged liver aud stomach
and for constipation. hud for tourists
and statesmen. or for persons hIliug Office
petitions, where headaches and general
bad feelings from irregular habits exist,
that Green's August Flower is q grand
remedy. IL does not iHiure the system by

The TerrebOnns High School move
ment appears to have received IRE
newed impetus within the last few
weeks. Everybody is discussing
"High SCHOOL, the idea Of education,
coupled with an ~up-tOzdate system Of
instruction, seems to permeats the
the very air itself Of late. The &C.
ton of the citizens in organizing a
High School Association, with the
avowed object of erecting in Houms
a modern school building, to cost up
inthe thousands, and fitted with the
latest improvements in school furni-
ture and equipment; and of establish.
ing therein, with the assistance ofthe
public authorities, a thoroughly
graded High School which should be
perfectly free to every child; was
quickly followed by an auxiliary
movement on the part Of the ladies.
which numbers on its rolls to-day
nearly every mother and sister in
Houma. With characteristic energy
the ladies set themselves to work and
have testified to their Jealous inter-
est in the Cause more by acts and re-
suits than words and dreams their
first entertainment, a Christmas-tree
and dance, served, by the immense
attendance and universal e-ndorsemeDt
Of the public, to demonstrate to any
lonesome doubter that the heart and
hopes Of the people Of Houma are en-
listed upon the right side Of ques-
tioR-the handsome amount realized
by the ladies is in itself a substantial
testimonial Of the cooperation Of the
general public and an encouragement
tokeep in motion.
So universal has the idea become
that the town council has taken cog
nizance Of the drift Of public senti-
ment and determined to provide a
substantial assistance in the shape OF
a liberal appropriation.
Now the question is lup to the
School Board The ladies' have done
their share; the town council has
done well it's part; the Association
stands" ready to erect a structure for
the schools dOmicle that will be an
ornament to the town and acredit to
the enterprise Of the people Of Terre-
bonne. The people Of Houma say, let
the School Board cooperate with the
High School Association and give us
the benefit Of that excellent system

A Phantom Party.

A delightful phantom party was
given on Friday night Of last week.
by Miss K. L. Minor, at the Hook &
Ladder Hall. The young people wore
dominOes, and bright, happy, counte-
nances were well hidden behind ex-
pressiOnless Mosques. This was the
first party Of its kind ever given in
.Houma, andit afforded such pleasure
to those who attended as to call for a
repetition.

NEVER A SECOND TERM.
NO Republican Candidate for vice
J. President Was Ever Renomfn-
ated for That ONCE.

The republican national conventions
Of 1900 is the twelfth to be held by that
party, which has an unbroken record
OF never renominating vice president
for second term, says the New York
Sun. There was but one formal ballot
for vice president in 1856, when Williams
L. Dayton was nominated. There were
two ballots for vice president in 1860,
resulting in the election Of Hannibal
Hamlin. The nomination of Andrew
johnson for vice president was made
on the first ballot in 1864, and that of
Schuyler Colfax on the first ballot In
1865. There were II candidates, Mary
land and Kentucky being represented
in the list Of candidates. The New York
candidate, Gov. Fenton, was defeated.
He was not renominated for governor.
In 1872, at Philadelphia. there was only
one ballot for vice president. There
were two candidates, an eastern repub-
lican from Massachusetts,, Henry VIII
son, and a western candidate from In.
diana, Schuyler Colfax. Wilson res
ceived 364h votes to 321h.
In 1876 William A. Wheeler, the New
York candidate for vice president, was
nominated on the first ballot. In 1880
the candidate of the republican con.
vention for vice president, Chester A.
Arthur, also New York man, was nom.
mated on the first ballot. In 1884 GEN.
Logan, Of Illinois, who had been one OF
the candidates for president, was nom-
mated for vice president on the first
ballot, and in 1888 the nomination Of
Levi P. Morton, of New York, for vice
president was also made on the first
ballot. His chief opponents for the
honor were William w. Phelps, OF New
Jersey; w. o. Bradley, since governor
Of Kentucky, and B. K. Bruce, con-
spicuous leader among the colored vot-
ers of the gulf states at that period.
He was resident of Mississippi. The
nomination in 1892 was made on the
first ballot. In the notable republican
convention of 1896 there was but one
ballot, but the vote was not unanimous
Mr.. Hobart, of New Jersey, received
53S; Henry Clay Evans, of Tennessee,
29o; Gov. Bulkley, of Connecticut, 80,
and Gen. Walker, of Virginia, "a. Mr..
Evans received in addition the solid
vote of Tennessee and the support of q
majority in the delegations from Wis
consin, Minnesota, Missouri, Indiana.
Georgia, North Carolina and Texas.
In II national conventions of the re-
publican party New York has received
the nomination for vice president four
times, New Jersey twice, at the first
and at the last convention. The other
states which have been recognized by
vice presidential nominations are Mas
saohusetts, Illinois, Indiana, Maine and
Tennessee. The republicans have neverSS
nominated vice president from Ohio,2
for the reason, 1t is assumed, that Ohio
always has candidate for the higheH
office of the presidency. The democratic
went to Ohio on two occasions for vice
presidents, and in both instances the
candidates were defeated.
