Hello FARMER: 1t looks like
our little town is cut off. Keep an
eye on her. Please put this in
print so we can wake up.
Our town is In grief today, on
account of the death of one of our
most popular boys, j. w. Jordan,
who died at 1890 this morning.
He had an accident two weeks ago
by being scaulded at the dry kiln
of Dendinger & Helser. 1t is with
sorrow that his many friends will
attend the funeral this evening at
$ o'clock.
We are sorry to state the illness
Of Mrs. r. G.. Galatas, but under
the kind treatment of Hon. w. w.
Barnard, we are glad to see that she
is up again.
There was quite large excur-
sion last Sunday to our town from
Pontchatoula, on board the steamer
Minnie B., Capt. Thos. Badeaux
III charge. They partook of re-
freshments at the Magnolia House.
After dinner they repaired to the
U. F. B. A. Hall and spent the
evening in dancing.
We are glad to welcome MIR. S.
E. Bell, of New Orleans, as a
boarder in our village, the guest
Mr.. l.. Galatas.
Mrs. Godchalk and family are
stopping at the Magnolia House.
We learn that Mr.. J. P. Pelloat
is to open. a bar at the old Galatas
stand.
We are sorry to hear of our
neighborlng wards being afflicted
with charbon, but are glad to say
we have none. Our popular butch
ers, Messrs. Galatas, are too care
full to handle any affected stock.

sons or natures, the moral person,
physical person, and the mental
person. The aim Of true education
is not to train and develop only one
personality or nature of the child,
but to train and develop all three
in perfect unison, in order that all
three persons or natures of the
child may respond in perfect accord
one with the other, thereby COM
plotting perfect structure capable
Of fulfilling all the requirements
of the laws of nature and of ma
lures God.
The constitution Of this great
land of ours expressly forbids the
teaching of the religious principles
of any particular denomination in
the public schools. This is the
very wisest prohlbitlon. AS the
school fund is derived from COM
mon treasury, which IS made up
from the earnings of all classes
of people, it would be grossly un-
tar that this common fund should
be used to disseminate the tenets
of any one religious denomination.
Yet, whereas, the teaching of re-
hgious principles are excluded from
domain of the public schools by
the laws of the land, the prohlbi-
ton contained in the constitution
of our country does not mean that
all idea of moral worth and moral
grandeur should be banished from
the curriculum of our public
schools. Such construction is
absolutely repugnant to those
grand principles of e9aity and
morality which live and breathe
through every thought expressed
in that great instrument.
"The thoughtful and progressive
teachers of the day are bending all
their energies to character building
and physical culture Of the child,
thereby training and developing
the morals and the bodies as we'll
as the mind of the pupils under
their charge. 1t is upon these
three lines of training and develop
meut the public schools Of this
parish shall be conducted. All
that it is possible to do, shall be
done to advance the cause of edu-
cation.''
MIR. Lancaster then in an earnest
and sincere manner thanked the
teachers in charge of the school,
Misses Seller and Hawthorne, for
the thorough and splendid work
they have accomplished.
At the close Of Mr.. Lancaster's
address, came dancing and refresh
ments, charming music being
furnished by the Covington Sym
phony Orchestra, and the Covlng-
ton Brass Band.

wrote from this place | will try
to write you few locals and news
items, hoping you will look over
negligence for not writing sooner.
You know | have been accused of
counting on paper, and some other
fellow was counting my girl, but
that is not the case now. | have
got one eye on my girl and the
other on this letter at the same
time, and l am safe so far.
The health Of the community is
not so good for the last week or
ten days, such as fever and few
chills.
Crops are needing ram very bad.
Corn wouldn't make half crop if
there was to come a good rain.
Cotton is, standing 1t very we'll.
We have looked for rain so long
till we have got sore eyes, but
hope to see a good rain soon.
Our school is moving OH very
nicely SO far, with very good at
tendance.
Rev. Booth is the happy re-
cipient of fine baby, which ar
rived at his house last week. The
mother is doing very we'll.
Mrs Stubs is on the sick list.
We hope she will be up IN a few
DAYS.
j. w. Allison can show you
some full blooded Italian bees
now. He has four fine Italian
queens, and will soon have them in
good patent hives.
We have a Sunday School now
at Horse Branch conducted by
Miss Scot.
This dry hot spell has about
killed all the vegetables, which
will cut the house wife short of her
table supplies; but they will
scratch around and rake up some
thing that will answer for a sub
stitute all the same. A good wife
is worth her weight in gold to any
man, especially i'll time of a
drouth.
We had a good shower since we
commenced this letter, which put
a smile on our farmers faces that
reached from ear to ear, and our
women folks danced ssYankee
Doodle'' over their gardens, but
we fear /: won't last long.
We will try to do better next
time.
With best wishes TO the FAREER.

Hon. Joseph B. Lancaster, the
Superintendent Of Public Educa-
ton, closed the exercises. Mr..
Lancaster in substance spoke as
follows:
"Educatlon is the greatest of all
great questions, because 1t is a
question that not only vitality
affects the welfare and advance
ment of a nation, but is infinitely
ard intimately connected with the
veal and advancement Of the indl-
vidual citizen.
GAS the body of a nation, With
all Its adjuncts and functions Is
formed of individual citizens-lt
stands to reason, the more perfect
and enlightened the citizenship,
the more perfect and enlightened
the nation which 1t forms.
advancement and progress III
the methods of education must
necessarily Keep pace with the ad-
vancement and progress OF the arts
and sciences. In the olden times,
the mind of the pupil alone re-
celved the care and attention of
the master. The duties and obi
CATIONS we owe our body and our
moral nature was but indefinitely
touched upon, unless the child was
placed in some seminary of learning
where the teaching Of religious
principles were part and parcel of
it's curriculum.
"Hence, the hue and cry aroused
agains, the education obtained IN
the public schools, and for that
matter, against many academies
and universities of learning. Their
contention was, that the pupils
leaving the portals of their homes
of education, came forth mentally
equipped to fight the intellectual
battles Of life, but, with their
physical natures, often, and their
moral natures, always, dwaffed.
In other words, their mental ma
lures were over developed, their
physical aud moral nature unde-
vcloped.
