Catarlna Berlin Not Forgotten.


Some months ago the ancient tomb
stone over the grave of Catarina Bier
lin on the Ronemous farm near Duff
fields, this county, supposed to be the
oldest grave Of a white person in this
State, was removed to Charleston and
placed in the care of the West Virgin
ia Historical Society. This was done
to preserve the stone, which was dis
integrating from the effects Of the
weather. The Historical Society, Of
which DR.. John P. Hale is the veneer
able president, has had erected over
the grave another stone, so that the
spot may not be forgotten and the
record lost. The new stone is a mar
bic slab about Is inches broad and
stands about three feet high. 1t has
upon it the following inscription
CATARGNA BERLIN,
BORN 1851
DIED 1901
This stone replaces the original, which
was sent to the W Va. His Society at
Charleston for preservation.
July, 1900.
The stone was placed in position
last Monday by NJ. Bowman, marble
cutter, of this place The Historical
Society has done the proper and the
graceful thing.

meet with the appreciation of the pat
rons of Shepherd College. Miss Pearl
Hosie was reappointed as one OF the
teachers at Chenille, and Miss Ella
Fordyce will again be the music teach
er at Fairmont. The regents adopted
plan by which all the normal teach.
ers were appointed for period COW
ering satisfactory service. This does
away with the yearly appointment Of
teachers as heretofore, and is a sort Of
civil service reform for the schools.
Miss Genevieye Rightstine has been
appointed teacher Of Lemen's public
school, succeeding Mrs. Chas. H. Bill
myer, and Miss Ella May Turner gets
the Shepherd Grade school, formerly
taught by Rev. A. a. P. Neel. Meth

cants for reappointment. Miss Grace

The public schools will close
on the 7th inst, and we trust that
when they will reopen. it will be
under a new and. better manage
ment, as we are expected to have
new board of School directors
who will be desposed to give a
little more of their attention to
school affairs. The outgoing
board, in our estimation was a
complete failure, as our schools
have lowered instead of increased
their standard. This high school
here in st. Martinville, which
should be first class school, is
certainly not what it ought to be,
and an entire change in the sys-
tenn should be inaugurated. The
new school board should employ
only male teachers to teach boys
and lady teachers for the girls
and in this high school (which is
high only in name and building
complete change should be
made, we should have the very
best professors, only graduates
from the normal schools, strict
dicipline, and seperate schools fol
boys and girls.

Our people are expecting a
great deal from the new Town
Council, they expect water works,
electric light and side walk or
dinance. The water work and
electric light will necessitate the
emission of bonds, and the issue of
bonds must be by the request OF
the people to the council who then
submit the matter to a vote of the
tax payers. Now is the time to
talk about these improvements
and to do little acting too. Talk
is good, but action is better.

stump the entire State, giving
their views on all national issues
and answering all questions that
the voters may choose to ask them.
There are so many public ques-
tions that have recently sprung
up, vitality affecting the people of
Louisiana, that the latter have a
right to know just how the men
who they send through the Legis-
lature to the United States Senate
stand.
AS Mr.. McEnery has already
served one term in the United
States Senate, he might have been
excused on the ground that he had
expressed himself in the clearest
manner possible by his votes. He,
however, declined to make this
plea, appeared before the caucus
and stated his views concisely as
to the financial, tariff, trust, ex-
pansion and other questions. He
declared himself an earnest sup
porter of 16 to l, an opponent Of
the trusts and of imperialism; but
insisted that the tariff could not
be made dividing issue in the
Democracy, as many of the most
stalwart Democrats had believed
with him in the protection of their
local industries and interests.
Gov. Foster went over these
questions also. and with his ex-
PLANTATION last night it is difficult
to understand why he has hitherto
refused the opportunities offered
him to state his sentiments. He
gave some explanation of the ne
cessity of keeping national and
State issues separate and apart in
Louisiana, but the Governor s
views are so in accord with the
prevailing sentiment OF the State
that there could be no reason fol
holding them in reserve. Gov.
Foster admits that he is not an
earnest supporter of the 10 to
doctrine, but yields to the decision
of the Democracy in this matter
He declares also that he favori
the popularelection of the United
States Senators, as also does Sen
ator McEnery. The latter declar
ed his position on the election o
Senators some time ago, and w
cannot see why Gov. Foster, who
it now appears, share these views
did not express his own views o.
the subject at the same time.
As the sentiments expressed b
the two Senators are in accor
with the present doctrine of tn
'. Democratic party, the caucus nc
minated them, and as the caucu
