Card Of Thanks.

There are hours that come into the
lives OF some, when every impulse of the
heart is buried under its weight of sor-
row. We stand there to-day; vet we
would fain give expression to the graft
tude that wells up from the depth OF our
hearts as We remember the kindness of
those who have done so much to com.
fort our precious dead, and to brighten
for us starless sky.
Words cannot express our appreciation
OF those friends who have shared with
us the lonely vigils by her BEDSIDE. No
sweeter memory can live in any heart
than the memory Of their untiring de-
vOtiOn to the one who has Just left us.
The waves of sorrow break upon eyery
shore, and We can but hope that friends
as true may gather around each one of
them should sorrow invade their homes.
To one and all who were 60 kind to our
loved mother, pot only in her last illness
but through all the long years she has
lived in this town, we extend heartfelt
thanks, and shall always feel the deepest
gratitude.

the late A. G.. Parmele of Louis
vile, KY, died at the residence Of
her daughter, Mrs. L. Holland, in
New York City, January II, 1910,

was a sister Of Mrs. Laura BOndu-

Miss, July 9th, 1919.
Mrs. Parmele came to reside with
her sister, Mrs. BOndurant, in st.

and lived here continuously until
last summer, when she went to her
daughter in New York, being ac-
comnanied on the long journey by
her niece, Mrs. L. E. Henderson.
Deceased was a good woman and
sincere Christian and had lived a
long and useful life. As the day
gradually wanes with the setting
sun, so did her gentle spirit, re-
leased from its earthly tenement.
silently pass beyond the borders of
earthly existence and return to the
God who gave it.
Passing the scriptural limit of
time the record of her long life is
one of kindness, and in it she has
reared her own monument. In days
of plenty she gave freely of her
abundance to the less fortunate and
ever strove in her own quiet way to
aid the distressed and comfort the
bereaved in "life's fitful fever"
Having finished her course she
has lain down the burden of life
and entered to her reward. Peace
to her soul.

from Hon. Thos. M. Wade, Super
intendent Of Education for Tensas
parish, appeared in Mondays Pic
syune, and was in reply to certain
statements made by Mr.. Easton,
Superintendent of Education of New
Orleans, as to the qualification of
teachers in the country parishes.
Mr.. Wade's letter is very strong
and to the point, and is complete
vindication of the faculty Of the
public schools Of this parish. which
Mr.. Easton is politely invited to
visit with view Of posting himself
more thoroughly before again CIV
ing public expression Of opinion on
. matter Of which his store Of in
formation is evidently limited. Mr..
Wade's letter follows:
NEwEILroN, TENsAs PARISH, La,
January 9th, 1910
Editor Picayune: Dear Sir-In
your issue Of the 7th inst, under
Bias and Politics in State Educa-
ton System" Mr.. Warren EastOn
is quoted as saying, THE school
last year was Of nine weeks dura-
ton, and the schools we've closed a
week earlier to permit the teachers
TO 20. The long term was not pop
ular and the teachers were deprived
Of their vacation. The country
schools close earlier and open later. "
When interviewed. Mr.. Easton
said That whether the summer
school was held here or not, or
whether any Of the city teachers at
tended any Of the summer schools,
had no effect on their standing.
They all have first grade certificates
on graduation from the normal
school Of the city, or by examina-
ton, while the country teachers
have second and third grade and
receive better ones for work done
at the summer schools"
In making the above statements
my friend, Mr.. Easton, shows q
woeful lack Of information on the
true conditions Of the country
schools and the country teachers OF
the present time. In justice to the
system and the teachers OF this par.
ish, I desire to inform Mr.. EastOn
that this parish has a session OF
nine and one-half months, and this
has been the condition for many
years, and from q teaching forct
Of twenty -four there are three

When President Taft issued his
order that the troops Of the regular
army stationed throughout the
country shall be available fer call
at any time to help fight forest fires
which endanger valuable standing
timber, he instantly won favor
with the timber owners OF the
Northwest, and the thousands of
others who gain their livelihood
through the states greatest resource
the lumber industry. The Presi-
dents order has been declared by
some as his greatest step toward
practical conservation, inasmuch
as it will aid in the preservation of
many thousands, even millions Of
dollars worth of timber that are
destroyed by fire each year in this
country. Lack of facilities with
which to fight forest fires have
been the constant handicaps which
the state fire wardens and their
deputies in the Northwest have had
to combat and the new order per-
uniting the soldiers to assist in
suppressing the flames, will be a
material help to the forest fire
defences already available.
