To The Democratic Voters of West Felici'

! am in receipt of a communl-
cation from the Hon. Albert rs
topinal, Chairman of the State
Central Committee, saying that
there is an unusual activity
among the Republican party this
wear. This activity of course in
no way endangers the safety OF
O lir ticket. There is however,
a strenuous effort on their part
to increase the percentage of the
Republican vote in this State.
This activity should be met with
an equal activity on our part.
The Republican party shonld not
be allowed to gain any greater
foothold than they at present
have.
Nearly every voter in this par
ish remembers the condition OF
affairs in this Parish and State
when the Republican party was
in power; therefore no comment
1
may be made on this.
We have had some difference
of opinion, as to the mode of the
nomination of some Of the can
didates on our State State ticket
but we cannot afford 40 let this
stand in the way of our duty tc
our party.
Now as chairman of the Parish
Democratic Executive Commit
tee, l call on all good Democrats
of the parish, to turn out on cleo
ton day april 21st) and do your
duty by voting the straight Dem
ocratic ticket, from beginning tt

of the increase being in the st. Fran
cisville school. Several OF the coun-
try schools have enrolled every child
of school age within possible reach,
while two or three others have a num-
Der of children within reach that will
not attend. l am trying to determine
and remove the cause of this indiffer-
ence on the part of the children and
inexcusable negligence on the part OF
the parents, but have not yet succeed
ed.
The colored people are, on the
whole, anxious to educate their, chill
dren and fill to overlooking all the
schools opened for them. We have
now open fifteen colored schools with
sixteen teachers and one thousand six
ty pupils.
Most of the schools observed "Ar-
Dor Day" as requested by the State
Superintendent, and with little en-
couragement nearly all the teachers
and pupils in the parish could be
greatly interested in identifying the
school premises. Nature has done SO
much in this respect for this parish
that very little is needed to make the
school grounds perfect gems of beau
ty, except to Natures work from the
ruthless destruction of man and beasts.
This suggests the absolute necessity Of
fencing the school yards, and wan'
to insist that this be done this summer
I had intended to request that steps be
taken to have all the school houses
painted this summer, but the fences
are so badly needed that I shall ash
for them first, if both painting ane
fencing cannot be done.

appreciation of the liberality o

CIRCUS THE15th

With the Greater Norris and Rowe
circus, museum, menagerie, hippo
drome and congress of nations,
which will exhibit in this city Sat-
urday Aug Is, afternoon and night
is a family of acrobats that go under
the name of the Astral St. Icons.
This family was engaged, and came
direct from Melbourne, Australia to
the Norris and Rowe circus. There
are seven members to the troupe, and
among them are performers that
turn double full twisters, and double
somersaults from the bare ground, a
feat that has been accomplished but
by three performers in the world,
and then on rare occasions only. In
their contract with Norris and Rowe
they agree to perform this almost
increditable act at every representa-
ton Of the show. During the run
of the circus in San Francisco this
spring of sixty performances, 279,S73
persons paid admissions to the big
show, and the st. Icons made one of
the big distinct hits of the program,
which includes performers from
every country in the world. Their
act cannot be described-'it beggars
description" The new big street pa
rade will take place at 10 o'clock.
BY arrangement, the Norris and
Rowe circus will be the only big show
to visit this section of the country
this year.
