Mr.. j. B. Lawton and family

WHERE he goes TO reside perman-
emily engaging in agricultural pur-
suits. 1t is with regret that we
chronicle this departure. Mr..
lIawton for a quarter of n century
has been an active and potent fac
tor IN all that was progressive and
elevatlng IN our community. AS
editor and proprietor of the Enter
prise, he has always taken stand
for such principles as would ad-
vance the interests of the town and
parish. Mr.. Lawton's sterling
qualities were often recognized by
his appreciative parishioners, by
placing him in positions of honor
and trust. His administration of
the school affairs of this parish,
as President Of the School Board,
was one of the most brilliant on
record during which time our pres
ent splendid system was perfected
by him, an earnest advocate for the
education and elevation of the
masses, his voice and pen were al
ways giving loyal service. His
place in this community cannot be
easily filed. A host of friends
bid him not "good Bye but Eau
revoir."

will mot be long as he willgo to Thi-
