Closing Exercises of the st. Joseph
High School.

The commencement exercises OF the
st. Joseph High School were held at the
Masonic Hall on Wednesday and Thurs
day nights and we're of an unusually in
teresting nature.
The play by the older pupils Wednes-
day evening was most ereditably present
ed and the rendition of the several roles
displayed histrionic talent decidedly
above the average.
Miss Laura Bondurant, the only grad
uate this year, read very interesting
essay, which we hope to publish next
week. The certificate of graduation was
presented her by former Superintendent
A. +. Green, in a happy vein, in which
he expressed his appreciation of the rapid
advance made by the cause of education
in Louisiana in general and Tensas par
ish in particular, and complimented the
local faculty and pupils on the occasion
Of the evening and especially his SINGER
est congratulations to the fair graduate.
On Thursday evening the Kindergar-
ten class entertained the audience with a
very attractive program, and which cap
tivated the house and elected frequent
and prolonged applause.
A most agreeable surprise TO the audi
ence was the serving of delicious cake
and cream and which was in abundance.
Our crowded space precludes the pub
fishing of the programs this week.
The following invitation reached us toe
late last week for mention; we gladly
acknowledge to-day:

FALL PAINTING.

The majority of property owners
are under the impression that spring
time is the only painting time. But
the fall Of the year offers several ad-
vantages to the painter. One of the
most important is that surfaces are
almost sure to be dry, and there is no
frost or inner moisture to work out
after the paint is applied.
Pure white lead-the Dutch Boy
Painter kind-mixed with pure lin
seed oil (tinted as desired) gives a
