THE COMMON HERD OF THE DUST
The fitting butterfly,
From flower to flower
Dost sup
From each jeweled cup.
1t passeth swiftly by,
The poisoned bower;
1t presses its lips
Where sun shines kissed,
With wings of resplendent hue,
A fairy of the morn;
And there
And here and everywhere
Among the sparkling drops of dew,
Where mists of sweets are born,
In ecstasy, sipsA
And sips and SIPS
With all its wings OF gold,
And rainbow tints,
1t hides,
Vanity and PRIDE
It's beautiful to behold
It's georgeousness without stint.
This queen ofall
Pride doth not befall,
1t seeks some muddy spot,
Where dampness is serene,
And rests
Its weary breast.
To dust and earth, itsought-
Before lite the same has been
The earthly CALL
includes us all.
The human butterfly of society,
All outward show is it;
Sips of sins
Without and within
No end to the variety,
No end to its CAB and wit,
Its duty
Is only to be a beauty,
Its wealth is only of money,
Its thoughts are all on dress,
Its brain, !
Can only contain,
Slush TO make looney-
Nothing more or less.
It's mighty
Small and fiighty;
1t fiutters before the gaze.
Ofa sensational world;
Like moth,
With havoc wrought,
1t disappears in the earthly maze
With flags OF sin unfurled.
Its career
Is worthless at the bier;
From dust we all have come,
To dust we all must go;
We are common herd,
In one sense of the word.
Our enterance has been the same,
Our exit may be fast or slow
Then let us fear,
While we are here.

The German Settlement
School Entertainment.

New Years Eve night was the
scene Of a happy gathering of
children of said school. A
large Christmas tree, ladened
with gifts for all, and Jolly Mr..
Santa Claus there to make
every one happy with a remem-
brance. A fine program was
rendered, after which the
assembly was entertained by
Mr.. Frank Dutsch with COM
lcal scenes from his magic
lantern. You could hear peals of
laughter from the little folks
expressing thorough enjoyment,
then Mrs. Herman Dutsch had
some lively airs played on the
monograph which also helped to
while away the few moments
between then and midnight.
The young folks made merry,
playing games; and when the
hands of the old School house
clock pointed to the hour of
twelve, such shouting and ring
ing of bells were enough to
deafen one. Then all wished a
Happy New Year, and returned

BANKS TO ABOLISH WITH
DRAWAL LIMIT.

There is shortly to be a meet
ing Of the several banks of ST.
Tammany and Washington par
ishes, with a view to abolishing
withdrawal limit. DR.. C. z. Viii
liams, President of the Coving-
ton Bank and Trust Company,
asserts that his bank is ready
to resume at any time, and that
it has plenty Of money to meet
all contingencies. It is pre-
sumed that all our banks are
prepared to meet the demands
of their patrons, and we may
expect in a few days to see
the banking business moving
smoothly along again. There
should then be no bar to invest
ments and active engagement
in business transactions and con-
struction work.
J. S. SETTOON
When you have a faithful
employee-one whom you can
trust-whom experience has
taught you is devoted to your
interests and ever ready to ad-
vance them, you cannot readily
be induced to replace him with
an untried applicant for. his
position. And this applies to
Senator J. S. Settoon. He has
been a tried and faithful servant
Of the people, and can stand
squarely upon his record during
his term of service, facing his
constituency in confidence of
their approval. AS he has won
the right to a continuance in
Office, the Farmer hopes to see
him returned as Senator of the
Nineteenth Senatorial District.
The Supreme Court of the
State of Louisiana, in the case
of Trosclair VS.. the Democratic
Committee of Lafourche Parish,
has decided that the Committee
must accept the declaration of
a candidate that he is a quail
fed elector, white, and a Demo-
crat, and has no power to refute
this declaration.
So be it. But since under such
"a law it is impossible to have a
Democratic primary, the law
will have to amended to accom-
plish it's purpose.
In the meantime, it behooves
the voters to refuse to sanction
the action Of such candidates
and to vote against them.

We have endeavored to ex-
cite some interest in the COM
munity as to the necessity Of
obtaining a sufficient appropria-
ton for putting the Bogue
Falaya and Tchefuncta rivers
in a proper condition for navi-
cation. To do this an investi-
cation should be made to de-
termine the necessary work to
be done and the approximate
cost of same. Then a petition to
Congress asking for the appro-
priation. Congressman Favrot
would, upon thus being urged,
be in a much better position to
assist us, and would do all that
is in his power to secure the
appropriation.
Is not the benefit that would
be derived from the success of
this undertaking sufficient to
urge it's accomplishment?
sMany of the businessmen of
Covington will attend the meet
ing February 10, and aid in the
effort to establish a cotton war
house. Il it's establishment be-
comes a success, there will be a
considerable shipment of cotton
to New Orleans by way of these
rivers, and it is to the interest
of Covington to expedite the
movement of freight in every
way possible. By all means,
make an effort to secure the
necessary appropriation.

The following communication was
read:
Pearl River, La, Nov. rs, 1907.
To the honorable Police Jury, of St.
Tammmany Parish.
Gentlemen-T beg to call your at
tention to the bridge situated at the
south end of the Corporation of Pearl
River which is in very bad condition,
and should be renewed at the earliest
possible moment.
From the fact that Pearl River is in
her infancy, and it's finances are very
weak, we cannot give this bridge any
permanent repairs without aid.
We appeal to your honorable body
to assist us with a new bridge at the
point mentioned. We would not look
to you for aid, but this bridge was
turned over to the Village after its
incorporation in bad condition, and
we feel it our duty to appeal to you.
Mr.. B. A. Schneider is acquainted
with the situation and can give you
details in full regarding this matter.
/ will thank you to handle this at
your earliest convenience.
