GOOD ATTENDANCE
Ia Promised for the Opening Day
of the Industrial lnstituts--PrOf.
SOntag Reports for DUTY.

AS the time approaches to the
date set for the opening OF the
industrial Institute, the general in
terest of parents and students in the
work Of the school seems to be re-
doubled. The number of in
quiries by letter and Of personal
visits increases day by day, and it
begins to be fairly we'll assured that
the friends of education In the State
will feel no cause for disapPoint-
ment in the opening attendance of
the Institute.
During the present week Mr..
Sontag has arrived and reported
himself in every way ready for his
duties as teacher of music-and, IN
fact, he has already begun his work
with private pupils in town. And
the other teachers are expected
within the Coming week.
Awater system for all the buildings
will have been connected to the city
mains in another week. The
electric fixtures will soon be in
stalled in the dormitory; and the
kitchen outfit, bedroom furniture:
and school equipments Of every
kind are arriving daily.
The next important step towards
getting the Industrial Institute
thoroughly ready for the winters
work is the laying of plank walks
from the town to the building.
This work, in some way, should be
undertaken Immediately. Its i'm
portance cannot be ove:estimated.
Parents will be 10th to let their
children walk to school in bad
weather-and non-attendance is an
absolute bar to progress in the
Industrial Institute. Let all work
together for good substantial
plank walk-or two Of them.

CARACRIsTPs OPINION
OF the Prospects at Anse La
butte--FavOrably Impressed.

DR.. G.. +. L. Caracristi, consult
ing civil and mining engineer, SO
Broadway, New York, who some
weeks ago made a preliminary ex-
animation of the salt and petroleum
possibilities of this section, arrived
here day before yesterday accom-
panied by his assistant geologist,
Der Hager.
Dr. Caracristi says that Mr..
Hager will remain in the field to
complete a full and comprehensive
report on the geological, mlneralo-
gical and economic values of the
minerals found in this parish.
81 am most favorably impressed
with what I have seen," said DIR.
Caracristi, ssbut can not 60 into de-
tails until my report is completed.
1t would not be just to my clients
to do or say more and l refer you
to Mr.. Hager."
When Mr.. Hager was seen he
stated that he preferred not to talk
for publication until he received
more definite instructions from the
doctor.
ssYou must realize" said he,
ssthat DR.. Caracristi would not be
here If he did not fully believe in
the possibilities Of this section.
He is too busy to give his time to
| insignificant prospects. While he
has not expressed his conclusions
to me his presence here can only
indicate one thing. You can guess
this as fully as anyone.

ABOUT MOSS l. co.

Our good name in the business
world is worth too much to permit
US to offer to our customers other
goods than Of the best class, merely
to give out the impression we are
selling .'cheap." The first cost of
goods of high quality may appear
a little higher than the 'cheaper"
kind. but there is always a saving in
the end to the buyer.
By giving close attention to this
naturally attracted to our store
hundreds of the best people IN the
community, who have learned by
a careful comparison of quality and
prices that our store could be de.
pended on to give the fullest value
for their money.
We have been 'sdoing business al
the old stand" for upwards Of fifteen
years, always keeping pace with the
progress of the times, and at nc
other time in our continuously sue.
cessful career have we been better
| prepared to meet the every day
| wants of our customers than now.
Our big department store is filleo
with the best that the market affords,
and our prices are as low as thu
lowest for goods of equal quality
All who patronize our store re-
gularly can depend on saving money
in the long run and as we cheerfully
refund money on all goods that d.
not come up to our representations
no one runs any risk in trading a
our store. Moss & Co.

FOR a STREET FAIR.
DIR. Girard's Plan for a Park ON

At recent meeting the City
Council granted the use of the
streets of the town TO DR.. F. E
Girard and Mr.. R. O. Woods for the
purpose of holding a street fair dur
ing the latter part Of October.
DR.. Girard informed The Gazette
that already considerable sum of
money has been raised to defray
the expenses of the fair and the
plan was meeting with much en-
enlargement at the hands Of the
business community. The money
is to be used principally for the
purchase of premiums and for the
pa, pose of advertising the fair
! throughout this section of the State.
We learn from DR.. Girard that he
is making arrangements to have a
fine park ON bis farm near town.
| The site selected is decidedly the
| best that could be found for the To-
cation of park, affording excep
tional facilities for pavilion, race
| track and baseball diamond. 1t is
DR.. Girard's intention to have thu
| place thoroughly equipped and to
make it up-to-date in every respect.
1t is intended to have races during
the fair and to draw here the fore.

| There is every reason why a park
should prove very successful ven
