Sympathizes With Us.

Bro. Fields, Of the AvoyeIles En-
terprise, published at Marksville,
sympathizes with the people Of st.
Landry because they are engaged il
a bitter fight over the division Of
the parish.
There is no bitterness 50 far and
it is to be hoped there will be none.
It is a plain economic question,
and whatever the people Of Tie En-
pire Parish do will be accepted
graciously.
Says the Enterprise:
The folks down in st. Landry Par
ish are having a red hot fight oven
the division Of the Parish. Both th
divisionist and the anti-diYisionists al
confident of success. We folks
in Avoyelles have had c~onsidera
experience in . similar fight for ye

Our Best Governed City.

Cleveland's claim of being the best
governed city in the country" was
certainly well supported by the man
ner in which its citizens celebrated the
recent Fourth of July Although
throughout the country AZ persons
were killed and more than 2400 in
jured in Independence day Publications
and over 100000 worth of property
was destroyed, nobody was killed or
injured in Cleveland and no buildings
there were burned by fireworks ex-
plos1ons. This was a great improve
ment on Cleveland's last years record,
when 10 persons were killed and 50
injured, and set the whole country a
fine example. The citys ~nmunity
from Fourth of July's casualties this
year was due to the fact that the sale
