Early Cool Spell.

The sudden changes of the weather
last week were truly phenomenal, and
find no parallel in the recorded data
OF the weather. Saturday was de-
cidedly cool and the temperature that
night fell as low as AZ degrees. Light
frosts were reported on the prairie
Sunday morning--tender vegetation
was markedly nipped. Monday
morning the temperature was 48 de-
grees at daylight and in exposed To-
calities the air was sufficiently chilly
to produce frost. Throughout the
State the weather was unusually cool.
In fact it is stated to be the coolest
weather ever known in the month of
September. Fires were comfortable
at night and heavy bedclothing a
prime necessity while a few people
actually put on o%vercoats.

A Cherished Memento.

One day recently our friend A. F.
Maxfield exhibited to US with much
pride a beautiful silk Masonic apron
which he lately received from bis
aunt, residing in San Francisco, Cali
fornia.
The apron was made in 1881 for
Harvey Maxfeld, OF Mt. Vernon.
Ohio. who was the paternal grand
father Of mr.. Maxfeld, and was
worn by him for many years.
Despite its age the various en-
blems Of the craft are as beautiful
and instructive as they were many
years ago. Only one who is acquaint-
ed with the mysteries of the craft
can fully appreciate the great pride
Mr.. Maxlield feels in this precious
relic.

Error Corrected.

Last week under the heading j

stated in this paper that Miss Roa
Skinner of New Orleans had yolup
teered to sing at the Sunday eyeniw
concert. This was a most grievoa
error and Miss Skinner feels YER
much embarrassed at the announces
ment. The information was fnrn
lshed us by a memher Of the band,
who usually gives us the weekly bro
gramme and he unfortunately got tbs
names confused. We regret Yerr
much that the mistake occurred and
that feeling is SHARED by Prof. Pate;
and promise that 1t shall not again
occur.

DISORDER IN PERRY.

We have received a communication
from Perry reciting the particulars of
a brutal assault upon Wilson Lenore,
an %inoffensive and industrious negro
by certain parties who it is stated
have previously figured in the court
annals of the parish. In a vigorous
denunciation Of ~lawlessness the
author calls upon our officials to
suppress crime and not permit its
concealment.
In keeping with our uniform policy
of refraining from personal comment
in criminal matters which are to be
passed upon by the courts we contine
ourselves to the mere mention of the
occurrence.
Punishment of crime is a duty
which does not devolve solely upon
the officials. Excepting misdemean-
ors and minor offenses it is a iury
which determines the guilt of an
accused person. No matter how
righteous the judge, how vigilant the
sheriff, how jealous the district at
torney, nor how careful the clerk Of
court, if witnesses and jurors fail to
do their duty, the law becomes pow
erless to punish and repress crime.
So, III reality tits the people them
to whom we must look for
that healthy spirit Of public opinion
which uptolds the officers in their
efforts to ferret out crime, aud deal
out punishment With that impartial
justice which in the execution of q
sworn duty knows neither friend nor
foe.
