"A Rolling Stone Gathers No Moss.

On April 9th, 1854-forty mine
years ago to-day-we walked into
Shreveport from "Mugginsville, "
and set our first type in the old
"Caddo Gazette" Colonel Henry
John Gray Battle, editor and pro-
prietor. Col. Battle, at our re-
quest, kindly permitted US to Sc
lect our first "copy." 1t began
with the above quotation. We
have not rolled very far during
these many years, and, though
grown up to be q "moss-back
Democrat" we have gathered but
little "moss."
Mugginsville" really a por-
ton of Shreveport-has long been
oblitered, as well as many other
landmarks familiar to those
typo" days of our youth. The
paper itself, has lost it's individu-
atty, and its venerable and highly
esteemed editor, has long since
passed away.
The contemporaries of the Caddo
Gazette were the South Western,
published by l.. billiard & Co.,
and the Shreveport Democrat,
published by DR.. Matthew Estes.
The three journals have passed
out of existence, and of the entire
editorial and mechanical staff
eighteen in number-only the
writer of this article and his
brother, j. M. Scanland, of San
Francisco, California, survive.

EASTER,

Again nextSunday we will well
come the glad Easter morning,
with its story of resurrection and
life. The churches all over our
land will be filled with worshipers
who will bear evidence to the
Christian character of our people,
and joy and gladnesa will over
spread the land like a warm bath
of Christian grace. All will con-
spire to convince us that provi-
dence has been abundant toward
us, and it devolves upon ourselves
to prove equal to the opportunities
offered.
The glad sunlight of Easter
renews the heart and dispels the
mists and clouds which have be-
logged the pilgrims way. The
resurrection of Christ was the one
great event which crowned and
concluded the grandest mission
ever made to man, the noblest
work ever done upon the earth
conveys the most important truth
the world has ever known, recalls
the most wonderful story the
world has ever heard.
To Easter, therefore, belongs
the honor of being the grandest
festival of the Christian year, for
it commentaries the solitary
event which authenticates the
divine mission of Christ and places
His religion on a plane 80 far
above all others that none are
worthy to be mentioned in COM
parision with it.. All hale then,
to Easter, the greatest day in his
tory. All hail to the lilies, the
blossoming flowers, that serve as
emblems of the day. The pealing
of noble organs, the chanting of
soul-inspiring anthems by harmo-
NOUS voices, the reading and ex-
position of the narrative that has
stirred the souls of men for nine
teen centuries, fifty celebrate the
most marvellous event in human
history.

(Revere Record)
While in Redwood Falls last Sat
urday we had the pleasure of meet
ing with the majority of the news
paper men OF Redwood county and
found them to be jolly lot of boys
to be in company with. In the
afternoon general invitation was
extended to all the newspaper men
OF the city by members of the Red
wood Falls Lake, Park and Boat
association, to take a boat ride up
the lake as far as the park. It was
an elegant spin and the natural re-
sources of the lake and surround
ings is something grand, and is
without doubt the beauty spot of
southern Minnesota. Nature has
not only given Redwood Falls more
than its share of natural beauty,
but it is wonderfully blessed with
wide awake men, as is plainly seen
by the improvements to Lake Red
wood, as we'll as new buildings and
new enterprises in the city.

Last Saturday AL. Clark took the
Standard editor to Redwood Falls
where eight or ten of the different
publishers of the county met in the
GAZETTE Office. In the afternoon
Fred Warner, Herb. Baldwin, and
Charlie Howard, three of the best
fellows we know of, took the edi-
torial party and their wiyes-we
are sorry to say our wife was not
feeling we'll enough to accompany
us-for a ride up Lake Redwood to
the park where they keep a spring
full OF the choicest ice water and a
long=handled dipper. Gosh, that
water was good y and the horney-
headed editors crowded about the
spring and reached for the dipper

A SUMMER SCHOOL.

A joint summer school for Blue
Earth, Nicollet, Brown, LeSueur,
Redwood and Watonwan will be
held for six weeks at the state nor
NAL school buildings at Mankato,
Mimi, beginning June 22d. This
movement for Redwood has been on
account of the very large number OF
resident teachers, a wise de-
cision. All who may wish to at
tend a summer school will find in
this summer school session very
superior advantages over the ordi-
nary local summer school. The ex-
pense outside of the car fare will be
no greater at Mankato than in any
of the towns of the county.
I have asked President G. H.
Cooper of the State Normal school,
who is to be the conductor, to send
every teacher circular of announce
ment. All who may wish may also
attend the "U'' summer school to
be held at the U building, Mime
apolis.
This school, too, opens June %.
Address DR.. D. L. Kiehle, Mime
apolis, Mimi, for circulars of infor-
nation and board. At either school
one may enroll for credit in subjects
for first and second grade certifi-
Gates. The library and laboratory
work at either of these schools ought
to be inducement enough for any
student seeking more light. Fulrh-
err information cheerfully furnished.
