Tl,e EEigl, school Premises.
Mayor Littell, in his last report
% the Board of Aldermen, says:

mayor Iltteii, III HIS idot IepoAe
to the Board of Aldermen, says:
would invite your atten ton to the
high school building and grounds. The
fence around the grounds should be re-
built and present out door closets should
be replaced by modern sanitary closets
This school is one of our towns chief
attractions and should receive your par
ticular attention.
Nothing is more deserving Of at
tention than the grounds OF the
High School building, and it is
sincerely to be hoped that the
Board of Aldermen will heed the
advice of our worthy Mayor.
We are justly rrond of our excel
lie Mt institution. We tell abroad
of its magnificent work; that its
graduates are accepted as first
grade teachers in many parishes,
and hold lucrative positions in al
most every branch of life, until
the st. Landry High School to-day
ranks with the best institutions OF
the kind in the State. But sup
pose stranger, to whom you had
been justly laudatory about your
school, should ask to be shown the
seat of this popular Institution OF
learning, wouldn't you hesitate be-
fore pointing out the monu-
ment to neglect now called the
High School fence and premises
The building is a credit to the
town, and it is indeed a sorry spec
tac1e to-see it framed by fallen and
falling fences and delapidated, dis
ease-breeding closets.
True the town has done a great
deal for this school, but it has not
exceeded its duty. 1t is the towns
duty to maintain the school build
ing and premises, as much so as u
is to maintain the streets and
other. public works.
Not only the appearance OF the
premises, but the health OF the
children, appeals to our aldermen
to heed Mayor Littelps timely note
of warning.
We're yellow fever Or small poz
to threaten the town, would no'
the council at once throw out the
necessary safeguards to protect the
people from contagion ?
Now why should they not come
to the relief of the four hundred
children of the st. Landry Higf
School

tants are about the busiest people
i'm town just now. Those failing
to pay the road tax by October l,
and who travel on the highways
after that date without the official
tag on their vehicles, are billed for
trouble and costs, and this accounts
for the rush. They all want to be
served at the same time, but as
this feat is impossible to be per-
formed, the anxious Taxpayers
have to contend themselves with
lining up and awaiting their turn.
The fire engine, frst-class
machine, is lying rusting in the
old truck house. We are told that
it could be repaired at little cost,
and rendered useful, and afford
protection to those of our citizens
that are not reached by the water
works. Why don't the defunct fire
company either reorganize, or turn
the engine over to the Hook & Lad
der Company . The town should
see that this valuable and neces-
sary fire machine is not allowed to
lie useless and rusting.
Mr.. J. T.. Nichols brought to
the Clarion Office last week two
red beats that knock the spots Off
of anything in that line we have
ever seen. One measured two feet
in length and weighed fourteen
pounds; the other weighed twelve
pounds. Mr.. Nichols tells us that
he procured the seed from the gov
ernment, and that they came from
Russia.
The Clarion sounded a note OF
warning five weeks ago that there
would be ballot box stufiing for
Blackman in Grant parish. In
fact the Judge himself foreWarned
us when he boasted that he would
carry Grant by over 100 majority
Blackman and Grant parish is a
tough proposition to run up against
at any time.

We are told, that the Larcadt

or condone fraud in any shape or

text. Both Mr.. Pujo and Judge

of fraud. If Mr.. Pujo was 50 "posi-

THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE.

1t is a feeling common to the
majority of us that we do not
get quite the amount of happi-
ness we are entitled to. Among
the countless things which tend
to make us more or less mis-
cradle i'll health takes first place.
Hannah More said that sin was
generally to be attributed to
biliousness. No doubt a crippled
liver with the resulting impure
blood, is the cause of more men
tai gloom than any other single
thing. A chronic dyspeptic, says
an eminent English physician, is
always or the verge of a mental
upset. And who can reckon up
the fearful aggregate of pain,
loss and fear arising from the
many ailments and diseases
which are familiar to mankind.
Like a vast cloud it hangs over
a multitude no n a number.
You can see these people every
where. For them life can scarce
ly be said to have any "bright
side" at all. Hence the eager
ness with which they search for
relief and cure. Remedies like
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
have not attained their high po-
SItion in the confidence of the
people by bald assertions and
Boosting advertisements. They
are obliged to win it by doing ac-
tually what is claimed for them.
That this remedy deserves it's
reputation is conceded. It is
palatable as honey and contains
the nutritive and curative prop
critics of Pure Cod Liver OH,
combined with the Compound
Syrup of Hypophosphites, Ex-
tracts of Malt and Wild Cherry.
Nothing has such a record of
success in Anemia, Nervous De-
bility, Scrofula, Throat and Lung
Troubles, and all emaciating
complaints and disorders. It's
nse helps to show life's bright
er side. DR.. w. 81. B. Atkins, of
Canada, says: 81 am pleased to
state that the results from using
it have been uniformly satisfac-
tory" Every dose effective. ct
cannot disappoint." At chemists.

ily," aid Miss Flora Hanna. of No. $40

1.-TWO years ago. she continued, ST
suffered from a severe attack of ty-
phoid fever. For three weeks my life
was despaired of and finally when the
fever left me I was so weak that it was
a month before I could sit up in a chair.
The ravages of the fever left me a
physical wreck. My blood was impov-
erished and I looked like a corpse. 1
had not the slightest inclination for
food, in fact the thought Of eating filled
me with disgust. I was ~listless and
tired. The tonics prescribed by my
physician did not strengthen me.
IT had often heard of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and conclu-
ded / would give them a trial. Al
first the pills did not seem to do me
much good and I became discouraged
bat determined to p~ersevere, thinking
if they did not do me any good they
would not do me any harm. But I was
happily surprised, as I had scarcely
finished taking the first box when l be-
gan to improve. I continued until 1
had taken five boxes. My strength
gradually came back and my appetite
returned and I was a vel. girl again.
I am positive that it was DIR. Williams.
Fink Pills which effected my complete
restoration to health. I have recon-
mcnded them to my friends and those
who gave them a fair trial have always
been satisfied with the results. A per-
sistent use of this remedy will ensure
a good complexion, bright eyes and red
lips. L know this from experience"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have a
double action-on the blood and on the
nerves. 1t is not claimed that these
pills are a cure-all, but the very nature
of the remedy makes it efficacious in
a wider range of diseases than any
other. 1t is a scientific preparation de-
signed to cure disease through a direct
action of the blood and nerves. I'M
poverished blood and badly fed nerves
are the cause of nearly every ailment
that affects mankind.
