DIR. SMITHS LECTURE.

This communityo owes it's thanks
to the Industrial Institute for
several splendid entertainments.
It's debt of gratitude was largely
increased on the night of the 7th
instant by an opportunity to be
entertained by Dr. G.. AlphonSO
Smith, the eminent scholar who
occupies the chair of English lit
erature in theLOuisiana State Uni
versity. The faculty of the Insti-
tute, the student body and a num-
Der of people from the town gath
cred in the Auditorium Friday
night and listened to one of the
most interesting talks that it has
ever been the good fortune of any
audience to hear. DR.. Smith
spoke about his European travels,
and to those who know the speak
er it is needless to say that he
held the eager attention of the
audience from beginning to end.
He spoke in Il conversational tone
and told his hearers many things
WHICH SeIleIdlly escape Tic eye
of the ordinary traveller but which
mean so much when seen by the
scholar and man of the world.
DR.. Smith has the distinctive fac
ulty of making himself under
stood by his hearers, and it is
safe to say that his address was
thoroughly appreciated, not only
by the older and well -matured
minds, but by every boy and girl
present.
DR.. Smiths account of his trip
to the old world, given in that
simple, unaffected style which
the man of scholarly
attainments: his description of
places of historical interest, the
vein of genuine humOr which kept
the audience in happy mood,
the spirit of broad Americanism
with which he treated European
institutions, and the truly elo-
quent tribute which showed an
Unborn love for his native land,
com bined to-make Friday nights
lecture an intellectual treat of
rare excellence

Death of Il Stranger.

Last Sunday morning man
was found on the pavement in
front of. Meyer Bros saloon.
From all appearances he had been
exposed to the cold part of the
night and was in an unconscious
condition. He was taken in by
the police and provided with lodg-
ment and medical aid, but he died
Sunday night. 1t was ascertain
ed that the man had been drink
ing very freely which accounts
for his failure to secure a place to
sleep: as he had some S14.OO in
his possession. His identity is
not positively known, but it is be-
ieved that his name was DOnnO-
van and that he was a railroad
man.

ordinance ordering the specia
election to be held on April B
1902, to take the sense of the tax
payers of the town relative tc
the proposition to levy a five-mil]
tax for a term of twenty five
years. Those who wish to ia.
miliarize themselves with the
proposition should read that part
of the Council proceedings refer.
ring to the subject. Briefly
stated it is proposed:
I. To levy a special tax of one
and half mills on the dollar to
procure grounds and high
school building, to cost $24, 900.
2. To levy a tax of one mill on
the dollar to enlarge the water
and light plant, to cost $14,OOO.
3. To levy tax of half a mill
on the dollar to procure a public
market and grounds, to cost
$4,000.
!. To levy a tax of two mills on
the dollar with which to call in
the outstanding bonds amounting
to $50, 900.
AS clearly explained in the Or
dinance each proposition is to be
voted upon separately.
Proposition No. 4 must first
be carried before any one of the
others can become operative.
It's failure to receive majority
of affirmative votes would mean

tension of a part or whole of the
present 3-min special tax with
the benefits derived from it large

public market. The Gazette thinks
this plan to secure much needed
improvements should receive the
endorsements of every progressive
citizen. The question is now sub

them to say if they want their
