TREES NEVER MORE
BEAUTIFUL THAN NOW

or promising than they are at the
present. Never before have the apple

feet in coloring as they are now and
trip through the orchard ranches
of Lincoln park and Fruitmere.
Never have the blossomipg trees
yielded to the camera such magni-
ficent views as they have in the
last few days. The trees all are
strong and will bear heavily this
summer. They have had long rest
and the fruit should be nearer perfec
tion this year than ever before,i If that
is possible.
In regard to the outlook for the
strawberry crop, yield which will
approx innate that OF 1905. which was
the banner year here. is expected.
The fruit is expected to be on the
market little earlier this year ow-
ing to the open winter and the fine
weather which has followed it. There
will be an abundance of straw berries
and the prices. for that reason should
be little cheaper than for the last
year or two.

Politicians by profession dodge
the liquor question, but Govern
or Folk, of Missouri, in a recent
address in Pennsylvania, said:
The question in the minds of

The courthouse yard is a thing
of beauty. The lawn is fresh
and green, and the rose bushes
are all a mass of bloom. The
picture presented is a source Of
admiration to all beholders.
This is clipped from the Pte
Coupee Banner. Of course it
does not refer to our court yard,
because the parish fathers never
order anything done to this pub
lie property, ignoring the fact
that so attractive a building as
the courthouse should have an
appropriate environment. Some
years ago when the writer pro
posed that the ladies take up this
work she was almost Kissed

the Police Jury have not done it.
These grounds could be made
very attractive. Shrubbery and
trees with a green sWard beneath
would be even better than flow

sion of court.

port of A. M. Hendon, Parish Super

To the Honorable Board of School
Directors, of West Feliciana Parish
St.Francisville, La.
GENTLEMEN -
AS the law directs, | sub
NIT to your body this, my report upon
the condition of the schools of the
parish for the quarter ending March
81, 1907.
have visited all the white schools
and some of the colored schools, some
of them more than once, during the
quarter. | believe that l am justified
in reporting that the schools are inn
proving in efficiency and interest on
the part of both pupils and patrons.
This is encouraging, for unless the
parents become vitality interested in
the schools and even become enthusi-
astic on the subject, they will not send
their children regularly and punctual-
ly, and unless thiseis done, the schools
cannot accomplish th~work for which
they are supported, asa method of
long-distance teaching by 'spme sort of
telepathic process has not yea. been in
invented.
The prevalence of contagious dis
eases in the town and throughout the
parish has prevented the regular at
tendance of a majority of the pupils
and, to some extent, has disorganized
the work of the classes, though the
diseases are now disappearing, and
there will be time for the pupils who
have lost time to catch up with their
classes, and the sessions work can be
closed with the schools thoroughly
organized There seems to be every
where growing tendency on the part
of pupils, teachers and parents to
have children in classes beyond their
capacity, to their encouragement and
real injury; | am trying to check this
as much as possible and shall continue
to do so.
The total enrolment in the white
schools is 46l; the number in actual
attendance last month, 1856. This is
an increase over these items at the

In the synopsis of the address
made by the Democratic Execu-

good objects cited that we omit
ted from our enumeration, but
which are very appealing to
Democrats. These are;
Legislation regulating or re-
stricting child labor.
The establishment Of road dis
tricts, so as to bring about the
building of permanent highways.
The encouragement of white
immigration.
The establishment Of reform
atory schools and asylums.
The abolition of sinecures and
all unnecessary Offices.
The prohibition of secret and
executive sessions of public
boards.
The abolition of the lobby.
Longer school terms, larger
Fairgrounds, more sanitary
schools, and the teaching of agri-
culture and the mechanical arts
in the public schools.
Liberal appropriations for the
levees.
Further extension of constitu-
tional provisions exempting prop
erty engaged in manufactures
from taxation.
The prohibition and punish.
ment of injurious trusts and
monopolies.
The more efficient regulation
and control of the liquor traffic.
The suppression of gambling
| in all it's forms.
The adoption of some practical
means for the investigation OF
charges of fraud and illegal prac'
practices on the part of those
conducting the election, and tc
that end the amendment of the
primary law so as to create a
competent tribunal which viii
have full power to investigate al
contests growing out of the prl
mary.
The committee finally announc
es that the Democratic candl
dates nominated at the recen'
