JEANERETTE HIGH SCHOOL.

JEANERETTE, May s, 'O2.
To NJ. ". Fisher, Editor Enterprise:
A contributed article in your val
liable paper of last week gives the
credit for the establishment of the
Jeanerette High School to Mr.. v.
j. POirson Of this town.
While Mr.. Poirson is perhaps
not responsible for it, must refute
the statement that it "was mainly
due to his efforts" that Jeanerette
secured the High School. In fact,
| would have it understood that he
took no active part in the move
ment except to introduce set of
resolutions at a meeting of the Par
ish School Board, which resolu-
tons were drafted by the Parish
Superintendent. The privilege of
presenting the resolutions was ex-
tended to him only "through cour-
tesy."

for Charles Jackson's saloon, at No. 4S

things when they learned that the place
had been closed up in consequence OF a
refusal of the Excise Board to grant
Jackson a license for the coming year.
Their tongues were coated with soft coal
dust and they were all possessed Of a
mighty thirst They lost no time in
quenching their thirsts at neighboring
saloons, where they paid their compli-
ments to Mr.. John O'Brien and his ex-
else associates.
Some Of them were mean enough to
say that Jackson was put out of business
because the Central Brewing Company's
interests wanted to drive his customers
to the colored saloon at York and Van
Worst streets. near st. Peters Church.
The proprietors of this place, to the
great surprise of people living in the
neighborhood. got a license after prom
