to organize an entertainment of
some kind, and offer the benefits
to Mr.. Duchsmp for him to assist
his relatives who are in great need
of some pressing assistance, Mr..
and Mrs. L. G. Duchamp have al
ways been foremost in every en-
terprise of charity or of any public
character, and theis assistance and
contributions have always been
very liberal. If we we're now to
offer item assistance for their re-
latives in need. it would be a
graceful act, and we know that
Mr.. Duchsmp would accept the
assistance of his friends on this
particular occasion.

THE HIGH SCHOOL.


The little closing entertainment
given by the pupils of the High
Scho6l at Duchamp's hall Friday
of last week was well attended and
the programme of the entertain
ing part was well carried out, the
children who took part in the re-
citations, songs, drills and plays
did very well, and their effort to
please and interest the apprecia-
tive audience was a complete sue
cess.
The other persons who assisted
the children in this entertainment
are also to be congratulated, as
they have made the evening one
of great pleasure.
The credit of this interesting en-
tertainment is due to Mrs. S. w.
Ramsey and Miss Lizzie OBan-
non, Who are teachers at this
school. 1t required time and a
great deal of pG1ience to. teach all
these children tDeir parts in the
long and varied programme.
The parents of the children of
the school donated a large quanti-
ty of cakes, ice cream and other
refreshments which were sold for
the benefit of the school, and to-
agether with the price charged for
the entrance, realized pretty lit
tie sum.
AT the close of the entertain
ment Mr.. James Simon made q
pretty little address, which was
highly complimentary to the teach
ers of our public schools, to Supt.
Wood and TO the school board for
the improvements they have made
in the school system of this parish,
after which, he distributed to the
children the medals and certifi-
cate that were awarded to them as
a compensation for their good
work during the past year.
Our young friend, Louis Woo
b rhies, son of Mr.. Martin J. Woo.
rhies, was awarded the only gold
medal that was given by this
school.
This high school was in -four
fishing condition this past term,
and the teachers are preparing TO,
q larger attendance for the com,
ing term, and the only thing thai
is bothering them and the schoo
board, is that the large building il
too small.

FROM THE PHILIPPINES.
Letter From a Virginia Boy in
Northern LuZOn.

Wepublish in part letter received
10y MIR. John :. Wilson, of Paris,
Fauquier county, from his brother,
Daniel Boone Wilson, who is at pres
ent serving with the Fifth United
States Infantry in Northern Luzon.
Boone, at the breaking out of the
war with spain, WAS among the first
TO enlist in the company organized
by Lieutenant Governor Willard
After the disbandment of that com.
pany he enlisted in the Regular
Army, and, one year ago, was sent to
the Philippines. Boone has many
friends in Clarke. and is very popular
wherever be is known. While he
bears the name Of the greatest Amer
lean pioneer, he also possesses some
of the qualities Of that famous back
wOodsman-an adventurous spirit.
courage, and remarkable skill with
the rifle. The letter is as follows:
The Second Battalion. consisting
of companies f, F. G and IL, of the
Fifth United States Infantry, left
Fort Sheridan. Ill.,, on the Goth of
last March, for San Francisco, en-
route to the Philippine Islands. At
1870 in the morning of that day the

Pullman cars, left the siding vt the

An elevator was leased and on June
10 the association opened up ready
for business. The laws of the asso.
citation made il obligatory for each
member to sell his grain to the asso
citation, but IA provision Was made
allowing any member to sell else.
where provided he should pay to the
association ! cent per bushel on all
sold thus. This provision Was a
bulwark of the association and pre-
vented the syndicate's forcing it out
of business The associutlou bundled
over 100000 bushels of grain the
first two months, paving to . cents
below the Kansas City price, while
the normal WAS 10 cents. aud the
syndicate price IA cents below "a
clear gain to the farmers OF > To 2
cents per bushel. Soon after the
association elevator opened up, one
of the svEdcates ordered the price
advanced 10 II point that would make
the farmers dissatisfied with their
arrangement The syndicate had
been paying 4S cents but raised j., 70
- cents. while the association eleva-
ter WAS paving but - cents Instead
of meeting this price th- manager II
the association elevator weighed the
whraj for the farmers A. fact ~ Il
WAS h:ought iu and then sent it over
10 the syndicate elevator tn DE. sold
for ~ cents; the farmer then returned
10 the association elevator and paid
in ! cent per bushel for what he had
sold, netting 81 cents per hushei.
This one cent per hushcl. besides
paying the expenses of the association
elevator, furnished profit. Thus
the syndicate, besides doing business
at loss, actually supported the
institution it WAS irving to DESTROY.
At the end Of three weeks the svndi
cate had locked its doors aud gone
out of business at Solomon.
We have gone into this account at
some length because We believe that
this is one of the most precious lessons
the farmers of America can learn -
the value of organization, and the
! greater value and extreme necessity
of loyalty to an organization when
once it is formed. The farmers at
Solomon have proved that successful
co operation among farmers is not
IAN irridescent dream" They have
shown that IN organization there is
power; that the lessons learned in
the early days when, upon the open
prairie fire was fought with fire, have
not been forgotten. 1t is not SO
hard to organize. The crucial test
is when the members of the organiza
tiOn decide whether they will turn
traitor for temporary gain, or stand
firm to their guns. Tenacity and
courage will win.-The Ohio Farmer.

to close its doors. We give a very
