The Reading Daily Review
has the following to say about
the Uncle Josh Spruceby"
company which comes to Lafa-
yette for Monday. Nov. 9, at
Falk's opera-house. &.
"A treat was in store for those
who attended the performance
of '.Uncle Josh Spruceby" last
night, for instead of seeing an
old WORKOUT play. Uncle Josh
Spruceby" proved to be one of
the most pleasing rural comedy
dramas that has visited Reading
in many a day. Both the pro-
duction and the company pre-
senting it are far above the
average and Judging from the
continued applause the play GER
tainly gave entire satisfaction.
The piece is staged with every
attention to detail, the saw mill
scene in the third act being par,
ticularly realistic and the thrill
ing climax was greeted with q
storm of applause. Severa
clever specia]ties were intro
duced during the first and sec
ond acts and were of a high or
der. The orchestra with this
company is fine one and thel1

III rIemoriam Of Homer Mouton.
Leaves have their time to fall
And flowers wither as the north

Leaves have their time to fall
And flowers wither as the north
winds breath,
And stars to set-but all.
Thou hast all seasons gar chine own,
@ Death.
A talented young man, broad mind
ed and unswerving in fealty to his
aged parents, brothers and sisters.
has early cast off lies burdens, its
trials, temptations, tears and brief
pulsations of JOY and now his young
spirit s.treads, the palace of the sky.
OF nature to exact praise and
tribute from all men, and determina-
tion to do right were notable attrib-
utas OF this most promising youth.
Tie religion of Christ is too calho-
lie to be compressed in on creed
alone. To do right as far as we
know; to be straightforward in our
dealings with men, tolerant and kindly,
these make up a religious man in
every sense of the word. a man is
not religious man because he makes
teertain professions and is labeled
with certain belief. A mans reli-
gion is part of his daily life. His
was not a religion set apart for state
OCCASIONS His short life on ear5n
was replete with stern devotion to
duty, aud as sucn, the name OF Homer
Mouton stands out in bold relief. a
faithful servant of the Most High.

THE TOWN SCHOOL.
Attendance Increasing D-.ily and
Work Moving Along
Smoothly.

The attendance at the town schools
is steadily increasing, and has now
reached $50 and over. and everything
points to the largest enrolment In the
history of the public schools. This
large enrolment has necessitated
more room and more teachers, and
the School Board has promo-lF met
the situation by securing the lower
story of the Masonic Hall and en-
ploying Misses Kathleen Reed and
Virginia Robinson, both of Baton
Rouge, who come highly recommend
ed. It is the hope and earnest wish
of all true friends of the children to
see a large brick school building
commensurate with the towns needs,
as soon as possible. When better
can not be done, the Board mus of
necessity use what they can get, but
the school houses we have at present
are totally unfit for the purpose for
which they are used.
Misses Reed and Robinson are at
the Masonic Hall and have about
seventy-five pupils in the primer and
first grades, Miss Reed began Nom
day, but Miss Robinson did not
arrive until yesterday.
Prof. Avery is busily engaged in
classifying and organizing the years
work, and has practically got every
thing in smooth running order. In
the various rooms of the schools
work is going along well. and this
session work will complement the
splendid work which has already
made Lafayette noted for her schools.
/ The estimation III wlissch Or schools
lis held is shown by a number of
pupils entering from Gros Tete,
] Grand Cheniere, Opelousas, Erath
and iberia parish. We have a splen-
did system of schools, teachers, and
superintendent equal to any. and all
we lack to complete our educational
system is modern public school
/ building. This we must have in the
near future, as certainly we can not
afford to do without it.

INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE.
Successful Opening of Third Session.
Larger Attendance Tlla, Ever
Before, and Number Expec=
ed to be Greatly Increased.

The third session of the Industrial
Institute opened last Wednesday with
the largest attendance yet recorded
for the opening day. more than one
hundred and twenty students. Others
have been coming in during the week
and the number is expected shortly to
reach two hundred.
The first day was spent in enrolling,
examining, and classifying students:
and the regular schedule was executed
on Thursday and Friday. Monday
morning everything was in complete
working order, the students came to
school ready for inspection and ready
for recitation: and the years work
was successfully launched.
All the teachers have arrived except
Miss Blocker, the Art teacher, who is
expected October l. Until that time
her classes sare being conducted by
Miss Annie Bell of Lafayette, one of
the brightest of last years graduates
in the Academic course.
Miss Riis, the new teacher of
Domestic science, has taken hold of
the work in her department with en-
thusiam and promises to awaken
much interest in the work of her
classes, adding courses in basketry
and other valuable handiwork to the
work already outlined in the Domestic
Science Course.
The work of Miss Leilwich in Latin
! and Mathematics has likewise begun
with interest and promise.
The work in Manual training gives
, great evidence of renewed vigor and
interest. There are now in the shop
some dozen or more pieces, OF good
strong, artistic durable, student-made
furniture; beds, writing desks, chiffon
iers, bookcases, armOurs, tables and
other things. It is being planned to
sell these ut auction: there have been
a number of applications for them,
and this is thought to be the best way
loi disposing OF them. The money
will be used to buy new material for
the shop. In this way it may be
possible to build up valuable indus
try and many valuable industries
both here and in adjoining territory.
The Newcomb pottery, which now
has world wide fame and is marketed
in Europe, was begun in just this way.
The same plan might apply to work
1 turned out by the sewing department
and by other department of the school.
The formal opening exercises cele-
brating the beginning of the third
session took place in the Auditorium
last night. The following interesting

THOrlAS NELSON BLAKE.
Death of Prominent Citizen of
Lafayette.

The announcement Thursd ay
morning Of the sudden death of
Thomas Nelson Blake at 4:3O
that morning was a great shock
to the entire community. He
had been unwell for some time
and had returned only a short
time before from Texas, where
he went for his health, seemingly
much benefited. Sunday he was
taken quite sick. and acute
Bright's disease quickly caused
a fatal termination.
Mr. Blake was a man of fine
character, generous, kindly and
true, and had in marked degree
those amiable traits that readily
win the esteem and confdenre of
ones fellow man. Every citizen
of Lafayette, whose privilege it
was to know him had the warm
est regard for him, and felt his
death as personal loss. The
community has lost d good citi-
zen, whose life both ublic and
private was above reproach
The following taken from the
Times Democrat describes well
his character and gives a short
history of his life.
Mr.. Blake was a man who
had worked his way to a high
! position in the business world by
his pluck and intelligence and
f; invariable courtesy. He won
hosts of friends by his fairness
and by his courteous regard and
consideration for the feelings
and rights Of others. Many in
stances are told by those who
knew him well, of his scrupulous
observance Of the golden rule.
He had a high ideal of what a
man should be in business and
private life, and realized his ideal
much more closely than the
average man of high ideals. His
lcountenance was that of man of
high character clean cut, COM
posed and kindly.
Mr.. Blake was born in New
Orleans, Oct. Is. 1855. He was a
son of Thomas Nelson Blake and
Mary E. Dessac, both Of Hudson,
IN. Y. He was educated in the
common schools, and in early life
/ managed his mothers plantation
at Fausse Point, La.
/ He started into the drug busi-
J; ness for himself in Washington,
La, in the early eighties, and in
1895 became travelling salesman
/ for Finlay & Brunswig, after
i wards L. n. Brunswig. Mr..
Parker and Mr.. Blake were the
two most trusted men for Mr..
Brunswig, Mr. Parker being
manager and Mr.. Blake in gen
|, ;.eral charge of out-of- town affairs.
Together they formed the pre-
: sent Parker Blake Company.
Mr.. Parker being made presi-
dent and Mr.. Blake vice presi.
dent, and bought out Mr.. Bruins.
d wig.
Mr.. Blake married twice. In
1883 he married Miss Louise
Nuckolls of New Iberia, who
bore him six children The three
survivors are Bernard, eighteen
!. years; Thomas Nelson, seventeen
years. and David Todd, sixteer
years, all of whom are at schoo
IN Bellbuckle, Tenn,
/ He was married the SECOND
| time to Mrs. Thomas Talleferro
nee Whine, of Washington La.
! who survives him with a little
! daughter, Mary Bradley Blake
two years old.
The funeral took place yester
day evening at Lafayette. Mr.
Parker, Mr.. Blake's partner, il
/. on his way from Boston, where
he was attending convention
but a number Of Mr.. Blake's
] friends in the firm went to Lafa
