BrOussard Notes.

The need of more transfers was
shown on April ID when n third of
the children in attendance that day
were brought by the one transfer now
in use. This transfer brings twenty
eight children to school. and on this
particular day it brought t~wenty-six,
two being sick. Children living at a
distance of two or three miles general
ly miss school all such days and in
missing their work they lose the on
Meeting links in their chain of work
for the session.. The transfer is one
of the best or rather the best remedy
in sight for better attendance and as
a great deal depends on regular at
tendance our people should try to
have the Board furnish at least two
or. more transfers for next session.
Another arrangement in favor of the
transfer system is that the children
are safer on the road. There is no
opportunity for their collecting in
groups on the way home and getting
into quarrels and fisticuffs. They are
taken charge of by the transfer driver
at the school gate and carried to their
parents doors, which prevents their
spending the greater part of their
time on the road and in town. wasting
the time which is needed at home and
learning things which will not make
them better for the learning.
The annual closing exercises of the
Broussard school will be held on the
10th inst. at s p. m. An admission
fee of Is and 10 cents will be charged.
There will be no danger of a shaky
building as we intend to have terra
firma as our foundation.
Wehope that we shall have a chance
to meet in Lafayette Saturday AND
have our convocation meet which was
knocked out by rain last. Wednesday.
The Broussard Band will furnish
music for the march Convocation.
Show your spirit of progress by
voting for the school tax which is to
be voted soon in this ward. With the
proper buildings and equipments the
school grading can be raised and our
boys and girls can get a good high
school education at home.

The Week.

General Manager Maddox, of the
Kanawha Water and Light Company,
stated at noon that the new pump
ing engine at the water works was
started this morning and had been
running all day with few intermis-
sions. Although it is necessary to
stop the engine to adjust few
minor troubles, the pump has been
running practically all day. There
are some small leaks to be adjusted
in the filtration plant, but it is prom
ised that the city will be enjoying
pure, filtered water by the end OF
the week. Owing to the new pump
ing engine being in service, there is
considerable more pressure TODAY
than there has been for severa
months: - -. .-.''.

Gordon Lees Socks.

A, good story on Representative
Gordon Lee, Of the Seventh Georgia
Congressional district, leaked out
through one Of his friends recently.
Mr.. Lee had occasion to visit Wash
ingtOn during the early summer on
some departmental business, and
came from his home via the South
ern Railway. At the time the train
upon which he rode was scheduled
to reach the Capital city at GAS in
the morning, an unheard-of hour for
arising In Georgia, except in the re-
mote rural regions. Some fifteen
minutes before reaching Washing
ton, it occurred to the Pullman por-
ter that the gentleman in berth No
8 was a Washington, and not n New
YORK, passenger. Investigation
showed Mr.. Lee soundly asleep--and
the Washington Monument we'll in
sight from the car window. In the
confusion and haste that followed,
Mr.. Lee was utterly and hopelessly
unable to find his socks. The train
pulled into the city, the last passen-
ger, save the Congressman, got of,
and still no socks. Fina1lX, Mr.. Lee
was forced to don his low-duartered
shoes and go to his hotel sock1ess
and very painfully embarrassed. He
had to brave any number Of good
natured giggIes and suppressed guf-
flaws before he finally reached his
apartments at the Shoreham-and
those few who learned Of his sad
plight called him "Sockless Jerry
Lee" for many weeks afterward.

Kindly Soul of LINCOLN.

"The first time l saw Abraham Lin
coin was in 1852, just ffty-ive years
ago." said former Governor William
Pitt kellogg of Louisiana recently. Il
had just been admitted to the bar and
was in Springfield, the capital Of I'LL
nOis. was young and perhaps rather
timid and for that reason 1 remember
particularly Mr.. Lincoln's kindness to
me.
"He had large black eyes that looked
out on you from deep sockets and seem
ed to peer down into your soul. Though
his cheeks were rather sunken and he
had a hungry look, his face was light
ed with Inspiration you felt in his
presence that he was a man far above
the ordinary.
Il sat there at the table that morn
ing in the court and Mr. Lincoln, who
was then known as one of the greatest
lawyers Of Illinois, leaned over and
picked up a book just in front Of me.
AS he did so he bowed in kindly way
without saying a word. To this day /
have never forgotten that bow and the
expression on his face.
-Four years later in the convention
in which the Republican party was
born l sat next to him as a delegate.
He represented SangamOn County and
made that great speech in which he
said You can fool all the people some
of the time and some Of the people
all the time, but you can't fool all the
people all the time
HE had the most winning way in
getting votes 1 ever saw. Two years
later, in 1853, he was a candidate for
the United States Senate against Doug
las and made speeches from the same
platform on which l spoke. l was a
candidate for the Legislature on his
ticket and he advocated my election. In
1860 was a presidential elector on the
Lincoln ticket in Illinois.
only this morning received a copy
of a paper containing the state ticket
Of that year and found that l was the
only man whose name was on that
ticket who is yet alive. Those were
wonderful days and they produced won
derful men, but Lincoln was the great

loves Maaic Thread.

Sitting alone, l wOye a dream,
Down where the blue waves play,
And my shuttle flew busily in and
out
Till the web with color was gay.
I wOve the sunshine in golden strands,
The roses, with necklets of dew,
While brOidered it over with gorge
Gus tints
And flowers of exquisite hue.
I caught up the song that the linnet
sang
And the pearls that the waves were
finging,
Weaving them into a beautiful hymn
With the tune that the brook was
singing.
The opal tints Of the azure sky
I wove in a ribbon rae.
Looping it over the radiant blooms
Like a band on a maiden's hair.
My shuttle flashed in and out of the
wool
Till the pattern grew wonderfully
bright,
Yet the seams were ragged unfnish-
ed-and rough,
While the shadows crept into the
light
Then 1 caught a CLINT of love in the
mesh
And wove it into my dreams,
When To-! like a butterf1y's wings it
spread,
Till it covered the ragged seams.
