An Agricultural Fair

In many sections of the State
agricultural fairs ere being held.
These fairs are under the directions
of the Bureau of Agriculture and
immigration. In the parishes where
they have been held the greatest
good has been done. They have
educated the agriculturlsts in the
more advanced methods of farming,
nave stimulated them to strive to out
do one another in the yield and the
quality of their products, and have
proven the best incentives to reach
the goal of their ambition. To make
two blades of grass grow where one
grew before. "All the products of
the farm and plantation are there
aud their cultivation ex.
planned; the dairy, the orchard, the
garden, etc, are all represented by
the "best the lands affords" and a
spirit of emulation is created which is
productive of the greatest good.

ALI Saints and All Souls Days

The feasts of Ali Saints and All
Souls were celebrated here last week
with impressive ceremonies. On
those days the Catholic church gather
its members together to do honor to
their beloved dead. Beautiful and
solemn is custom to set apart days in
cOmmemoration of those who have
preceded US to the eternal home be-
yond the skies. AS prayers ascend
on high and sweet flowers are scat.
tered over the graves of the dead, the
memory Of their many good deeds are
recalled, mans transitory sojourn on
earth is vividly impressed upon the
mind, and the path through ways of
righteousness clearly pointed out for
the christian to follow. 1t is our
duty to remember the dead, and of
such great Importance is this held that
the Catholic church has centuries ago
recognized it by devoting those days
in honor and commemoration of
them.
There is nothing which puriies the
mind more than the silent communion
with the dead. As we stand over tbe
grave of father or mother, wife or
child, and pay the only tribute to
their memory which is in our power,
what are the thoughts which crowd
The mind, what are the emotions which
fill the heart? To review their sweet
and holy lives to look through the
vista of years and recall each kind
act, each good deed, Greats a feeling
that We are in their very presence
again, and the tears that dim the eyes,
and the thrObs that move the heart,
assure us that the love We bore them
is sti'l alive. The religious spirit in
which this tribute, this veneration for
the dead, is observed, makes its i'm
portance greater. No feasts on the
colendar of the Catholic church is
more sacredly kept by the faithful than
Ali Saints and All Souls Days.

The Ruston Leader, IN regard to
the attacks BY the press on the pistol
habit, says:
Undoubtedly that is one of the
ways to create public sentiment
against the evil habit, but the trouble
is that the great majority of those
who carry the gun and do the damage
are beyond the educational influence
of the press for the simple reason that
they never read newspapers. Pistol
toting and newspaper reading are
habits not found as a-rule in the same

HARD ON ATLANTA CHILDREN.

Atlanta Journal: The parents or
guardians of half the school children
of Atlanta do not pay. taxes to the
municipality, and unless at least the
poll tax of these persons is paid at
once their children will be turned out
of the schools and their seats given to
the applicants now waiting for admis-
sion. The clerks in the Office OF the
city tax assessors have completed the
work of checking up the lists that
We're furnished them and the results
are startling. They have found that
their are 4.096 parents or guardians of
children now enjoying privileges whose
names do not appear upon the tax
books of Atlanta. AS it is safe to es-
innate that each of these parents or
guardians have two children each in
the publich schools it is noticed that
at an exceedingly low estimate, S192
public school children of Atlanta are
not now entitled to the privileges they
are receiving. Fl fas are at present
being issued by the assessors. They
will be turned over to the marshal for
collection within a few days and the
parents or guardians will be forced to
either pay their taxes to the city or
have their property sold. In the event
they have. nothing that the city can
levy upon for taxes they will be forced
to take their children from the schools
to make room for those children whose
parents do pay taxes. OF the 4096
names that do not appear upon the tax
books at least half are negroes. This
really decreases the percentage of
whites. as there are many more white
than negro children in the public
schools.
