us for a moment look at the State oil
Texas, just after the Civil War. She
was almost 'one wide expanse of wild
territory; but with foresight far
beyond other States she left nothing
undone to induce immigration. from
everywhere, and for years thousands
of splendid men, from Italy and other
countries, have poured into her con.
fines, and made her rich and
magnificent State. Her public school
system Is her pride; handing out
magnificent opportunities to educate
all her children. The interest on the
school fund brings amply sumcient
to carry on this splendid school sys-
tenn. Louisiana is to-day awakening
to the occasion, and will leave nothing
undone to emulate Texas in giving
the same splendid chances to her
children to obtain an education.
Mr. Consul want to encourage
your people who are here with us.
that while they must work in the
fields, under the scorching July sun,
not to forget that it is their duty to
send their sons and daughters to the
public schools as much as possible;
not to keep them in the fields all the
time. so that they will make good
citizens and know how to appreciate
happy home, in this glorious
country of ours.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Shat
fer's address, this joyous event
ended and passed into local
history; but Franklin will long
enjoy the memory of this de-
lightful feast, and the generous
hospitality extended to her citi-
zens by the worthy members
of the Duca D'Aosta Association.
The BANNER congratulates you
in the success of your celebration.
Our best wishes are with you and
always, and may you live long
and prosper in the beautiful land
of your adoption.

to do with it. There he is, of course,
