as at the big fair the first day and en-
thusiasm ran higher. All of the rings
were holly contested but the warmest
was the stick horse ring which was won
by Carl Hum on his famous racer.
Walter. Morgan Smith Baughman
won probably more ties than any of the
contestants. James Cooper made a
fine president. while Spalding Hill as
secretary and Claiborne Walton as ring
master were the best ever. Emil
Greenburg furnished the music. The
Juvenile fair was the happy movement

the enterprise to a successful end.

ran our school independent of the
board. One year it was closed up
and We paid our own teacher, and the
last two years we have paid $25 per
month on the salary in order to get
a good teacher. By so doing we
have our school to where ten grades
are taught and in one more year we
can furnish our own teachers. Now
we don't expect to be continually
growing about our defeat: We will
submit to it very reluctantly and
take it as easy as circumstances
will permit.
We are listening every day
for someone to present a petition
to have our box car depot moved, in
the country somewhere.
In conclusion, | wish to say this is
not a fight between the Creoles and
Americans, for there are ten Creoles
to one American in this school, and
we, as a community stand firm to-
gether and expect to remain SO till
the last, till time smooths things over.

A Children's Day Celebration.

Il hope you viii be sure to come
to our Children's Day celebration"
This was what Miss Rosa Mixer
said, to all who she met for weeks in
advance Of Sunday May 23rd., the
day observed.
All knew she had charge Of the
little Sunday School at Wards Chapel,
Richard, La, and was working zeal
ously to make the coming event a
success.
The looked-foward-to Sunday came
a beautiful May day, and the COM
munity responded nobly to the above
invitation for no less than one hun
dred persons gathered in the little
church, which they found t~astefully
decorated in the tender colors white
and green. They felt amply repaid
for going by the interesting manner
in which the children rendered the
pretty program; the title which was
Palms and Praises" nearly all Of it's
songs and recitations telling of
Christ's triumphant entrance into
Jerusalem when the people met him

oHosanna to King Davids

crying, "Hosanna to King David,s
Son."
The children did credit to them
selves and to those who had trained
them; among these were Misses Rosa
and May Mixer, Mesdames s. @. An
drus, 7. G. Foote, VIM. Davidson and
others, but chief of all Miss Vivian
Foote, the accomplished organist,
who spared neither time or effort in
drilling the children in song and
speech.
The loving manner in which these
children rushed to Miss Foote for her
verdict Of the manner in which they
had acquitted themselves made more
than one observer predict that she
will be very successful in her chosen
vocation, that Of teaching.
She has since returned to Natchi-
toches, where she expects soon to
graduate from the State Normal
School, after which she will join the
ranks of Louisiana's faithful and eff
fcient teachers.
After the program the pastor, Rev.
John Shoalers, preached a short but
able sermen on missions and the
great need Of missionary work, the
service being embellished by some
beautiful songs well sung.
The attendance and interested
manner of the many parents would
cause the visitor to feel sure that
they are in full accord with the ap-
propriate motto LET US Live With
Our Children" which occupied a
prominent place above the alter, and
it is hoped that they strive to live
with their children in the Sabbath
School as well as elsewhere.
At twelve o'clock the congregation
repaired to the home of Mrs. David
son, where a most delicious and
bountiful basket dinner was enjoyed
in the shade Of a spacious pecan
grove.
Mrs. Davidson's great hospitality
in throwing open her doors, offering
the use of her house, kitchen, yard
and grounds made everyone feel per
fectly at home as they ate the good
things served in a manner which a
visitor from distant state, exclaimed
was indeed a credit to Louisiana
womanhood. The gentlemen feeling
that they must not let the ladies
bear all Of the responsibility formed
themselves into a committee COM
posed Of Messrs. 3. Mixer, 7. A.
Hicks, M. j. Richard, VIM. Keller, F.
and R. Shuler and several others, and
they did all in their power to help
spread the dinner, see everyone well
served, entertain the visitors and
make themselves useful generally.
In the cool Of the afternoon the
crowd leisurely dispersed for home,
all expressing themselves as delighted
with the day, and many hoping that
another entertainment might be given
By the Sunday School in the near
future.
One Who Enjoyed the Day.

Redden Happenings.

AS we see nothing from this part
of the moral vineyard, | will write a
short sketch Of what is going on
here.
The late rains have almost insured
a..bumper rice crop. Some corn is
fine and some is suffering from want
of work.
The town Of Reddell is building up
slowly. We have three stores COM
pleted, and j.. G. Anderson is now
erecting a nice store and residence.
We have a baseball nine that is gain
ing notoriety and is licking everything
that attacks them.
The Rock-Island has given us q
box car for a depot until one can be
erected in the near future. This
place and Pine-Prairie handle more
freight than any place between Eu-
nice and Alexandria.
A peculiar and ~regretable mishap
at the J. G. Vidrine High School has
taken place lately. They have erect
ed a large and commodious building
for the Vidrine and Miller schools,
and have put in a large bell, and
it has been a race for several morn
ings between MIR. June Guillory and
&. Moran who would get there first
to ring the bell. Last week Mr..
Moran got there first and had the bell
rope when Mr.. Guillory arrived. Mr..
Guillory didn't want to be defeated,
and seeing Mr.. Moran's bell COW near
by, seized her by the tail and was
ringing with all his might when the
cord broke and now there is talk of
him being prosecuted criminally.
A petition is now being calculated
TO have the Post Office moved to the
Vidrine High School.
The name of the Mamou Post
Office will be changed to Reddell, to
take effect July the first. This has
been made a Money Order Office, and
has a new mail route to Leila Office.
Mr.. Editor, our graded school with
an enrolment of one hundred and
and thirty-four, has been closed. We
think q great injustice has been done
us, as this school is The best in the
western part Of the parish. We have
a large two story building with FIVE
rooms. We did all we could with the
school board, but they gave us but
little show. MI. Lyman has q great
heart, as big as a mule, and q back
bone to back it; he stood alone and
fought for us to the last ditch.
Not because do not like DR.. Vid-
rine or do Ike Mr.. Reddell, but be-
cause / think it is right he said.
If we had more such men that were
not afraid to speak out in meeting,
this government would be ina health
Ter condition today. We expect to
open our school with the public
schools, with an up-to-date corps Of
teachers. We have figured the cost
of transportation to the Mamou
school, in which district we were
forced. and find We can run a much
better school here on less cash, and
besides the low marsh between the
two schools in winter and spring is
almost impossible. We have almost

uNO ONE HAS SHOWN IT'S
NECESSITY."


m-
NO one has shown it's necessity"
saw correspondents who have been
writing to the papers, in referring
to the school house which it is pro-
posed to build with the three-mill
tax which it is hoped will be voted
on the 22d Of this month.
Indeed, no one has shown its ne
cessity!
Shown what, and how?-how can
0 show something that towers
ike a mountain? You can't show
the blind, and certainly those who
can see don't have to be shown the
necessity for a school house for 0pe-
lousas.
At the last term the children in
some grades could only be taught a
half day, one-haIf Of the class COM
ing in the morning and the other
half in the evening.
What these children could ordi-
narily accomplish in one year, will
take them two.
In the name Of common sense, peo-
pie of 0pelousas, how can a neces-
sity be shown palmer than this?
Have the opposition shown that a
school house is not necessary? Have
they advanced any other reason but
that they are too heavily taxed now
to spare q few more paltry cents
for the education Of their children
wiling to sacrifice the future of
their children because times are
hard'-willing to deprive those child
rem Of an education and make times
hard" for them the balance of their
lives because there is a momentary
=
depression in money matters? Or
the other absolutely absurd reason
that the site for the school should be
selected before the tax is voted?
Shame on the citizen who will OBJ
pose d tax for a public school, when
that public school is an imperitave
notwithstanding shame on you!
But, then, citizens, If you will op-
pose it, say what q correspondent in
another column has said: That you
don't believe your pocket can stand
Che sacrifice Of a few cents for the
welfare and future and life Of your
children. Be honest about it; tell
the truth.
But don't don't Cry and bamboozle
the people with foreign issues. Don't
try to tell them that there is no ne
cessity for another school building,
for the people know when you say it
you are not telling the truth-the
fathers and mothers of those child
rem mentioned above, who could not
attend school but half time last ses-
sion, know that you either don't
know what you are talkitg about or
are trying to deceive them.
Don't tell them of Normals, and Of
schools buildings in this and that
portion of town, and of the poor
people that can't pay the tax"
Tell them honestly and frankly
that you, YOU would rather see
Opelousaa lead the rear guard of
ignorance, you, YOU would rather
see the children Of your neighbors
and relatives (if you have none your
self) packed like sardines in an an
tiquated building, hampered in their
education by the lack of facilities,
deprived Of half Of their school time,
rather that pay the tax-the beg
carly few cents.

The House Of David.

Two apostles OF the House Of David were In
town one day last week, wearing long hair on
head and face. The doctrines were not harm
full, but we did not-hearipg from our win.
.dow-quite understand the object OF their
talks. They didn't pray. They said that
prayers in public were forbidden. That we
onght to pray in secret. They seemed to
hin 1t possible to escape the death Of the
body by correct living. That We had q
physical body and a spiritual body. They
bad no singing. They spoke with their hatR
on except at such times when they found 1t
necessary 10 remove them to scratch their
heads. These wandering pilgrims and the
curious crowd that listened made this editor
think Of our missionaries in Mexico who
speak TO the crowd in an unknown tongue.
and who draw as intelligent an assemblies as
usually gather around a hand organ n a
little monkey in q red shirt. Counting little
negroes, big negroes, female negroes and a
sprinkllng OF white boys and white men
there were, as we'll as we could count, about
1875 persons present. One difference between
these House OF David apostles and our mis-
is, that the one gets no salary
while the other makes a profession OF his
business and gets the biggest sort OF pay
The House OF David men said that they, like
our preachers. could get big salaries II they
went into the churches. They said they had
nothing to say against our preachers. Some
OF them, they said. we're very good men, but
they preached for pay while the speakers
were good for nothing-that Is to say, they
preached for our benefit without pay.

TiIman Erupts Again.

Whenever Tillman goes to Augusta 1t seems
that he gets In to the newspapers. While we
know very little Of Senatorial courtesy and
know perhaps less Of Senatorial dignity, 1t
seems TO us that when q United States Sena.
tor 30 far forgets himself as to spout in hotel
corridors TO the gaping crowd or talks to
newspaper reporters for publication. he gets
down on a lower pedestal than he should oc-
oupy.
Speaking for his editor, we are utterly and
absolutely tired of Tillman's everlasting
abuse. Nobody believes that Roosevelt Is 3
liar. The fact is, the American people think
very we'll of Mr.. Roosevelt. II the able
United States Senator would spend lets
venom, and cultivate the amenities just a
little, he might be able to accomplish some
thing for his State. Mr.. Tlllman has nagged
30 much, and found 80 much fault that he
seems to have had neither time nor Incline
ton to see good in anything or anybody In
Washington. He commenced by seeing
nothing but evil in South Caroliua.
