COMMENCEMENT Ioo5.

Commencement of 1902 win go down il
the history of the J. :. y. as the most
brilliant and successful known since its
organization. The weather after Monday
seemed almost made to order, it was cool
and bracing and though it threatened rail-
on Thursday, none fell until everybody
had ample time to reach home after the
last exercises were over.
President Caldwell made an innovation
this year, by having no strangers give any
of the addresses, all of them, from the Sun
day religious exercises through the gra-
duating ones on Thursday, being conduct
ed by the members of the faculty, and
they We're by far the best and most thor
Oughly enjoyable ones that have ever
been given.
The music was of the highest order. all
being classical selections and were beau
tifully rendered. An orchestra Of string
ed Instruments made Splendid accom-
paniment to the magnificent choruses of
hundreds of voices and their instrumental
numbers were all appreciated. Sontag's
military band was brilliant addition to
the entertainments and is truly fine
organization.
The most exciting feature of the whole
week was the contests among the three
societies, the rivalry and enthusiasm this
year being even more marked than usual
and naturally the +. L. S. were very
proud i'll carrying off two out of the
three honOrs their representative, Miss
Murphy, winning Ill defamation, and
they also won in their series of tableaux,
while the 5 \. Ks captured the medal in
OratOry through their representative, Mr..
COrkern.
The VI. c. C., the new society made
very brilliant showing in all three OF the
contests and was heartily congratulated
for its noble efforts.
The program AZ published two weeks
ago was c.rried out in full and We regret |
that we cannot comment upon each |
feature, as they were all exceptionally |
good, and the manner in which they were
presented proved the intelligent study |
that was given them, and were a perfect
revelation to the hundreds of visitors who |
attended and who expressed their delight
and SAID they had no conception of the
high standard that the Normal had at
tanned in literary, musical and every other
matter that goes to make our school, the
Louisiana State Normal. what it is.

Government Building an Assured Fact
for NatchItOches.

In our issue of two weeks back. We
referred to the omnibu. bill that had
been presented in which $4,000 was to he
appropriated FOR a public building site in
NatchitOcheS Mayor J. 'herissOn received
the following telegram from Congressman
Brcazeale on Saturday.
$4,000 for site for public building pass
ell Senate and House. will he approved by
| President. and on the strength of it the
Mayor called a meeting Of the City COml-
ell SO as to adopt such measures rs to he
prepared when the Government was ready
to purchase the site.
As will be seen from the special notice
published III this issue, the Mayor has
applied to the General Assembly for a,I-
thOrity to sell the present Market House
site, which is the place that has been So
lccted for the location of the Government
building, provided. this meets with the
approval of those authorized to do the
purchasing for the government.
This location will be ideal for the pur-
pose; it is central, next to the Court House
and on a beautiful lot, still it may not
meet with the views of government Of
fetal, and they may find some other site
to be more more desirable. We would
like to say right here. that in event any
property belonging to private parties he
selected, we hope that they will realize
how much this public building will mean
to NatchitOches. and that they will not
place such eNorbitant value upon it that
it will cause delay or trouble.
The city has several places in view for
its City Hall and market house. III case
the present one be changed into the gov
eernment building, and though il may
be SONG time before it.be built, it Is AL as
spred fact that the money for the pur
chasing of site has been appropriated.
and we trust that it may not be long be-
fore the money for the building itself, he
also Ill the same tangible shape.

extreme heat In Texas in the past week
has been harped upon by the bulls but
at the same time we fail to hear any re-
ports of Ill effects on the plant. As re-
CARDS present prices best people regard
them as quite moderate and cannot figure
on crop OF over one million in excess
of last year, which is certainly a liberal
allowance and such a crop is not excess
siye. The main point to be now feared as
regards prices Is the effect of the daily
increasing receipts which naturally must
swell decidedly the next thirty days, and
continue for many weeks. Reports from
Mississippi. Georgia and the Carolinas
complained of spotted conditions and
the president of Texas Cotton Growers
Association WAS quoted as estimating the
loss by flood at 100000. Port receipts today,
1000 against 1000 last year.
