Through his untiring zeal Mr.. Groes-
beck brought the Waterproof High

cy second to none in this section of
the State and his resignation to en-

by all friends of education In this
parish. In adopting law as pro-
fession he carries the best wishes of
our entire people for his ultimate
success. Energetic and persevering,
seeing inspiration to greater effort
rather than discouragement in every
obstacle confronting him, he is
destined to make his mark in his

Mr.. Parham and Three Children Bit.
ten by Dog Affected with Rabies.
(Natchez Democrat, 24th)


Mr.. B. B. Parham, a prominent bust
ness man Of LArgent, La, with his
three children, was in the city yesterday
en- route to the Pasteur Institute of New
Orleans.
Mr.. Parham and his children, Jocelyn,
aged five, Fred W., aged twelve, and
Fenner, aged fifteen, were bitten by a
bull terrier in their yard on Thursday
last. A stray dog entered the yard and
attacked dog belonging to the family.
In their efforts to save their pet, all four
were bitten, but as the wounds were
slight but little attention was paid to the
matter at that time.
Since then both dogs died, with sus-
picious symptoms attending their deaths,
and Mr.. Parham decided to take no risks,
but go to the Pasteur Institute for treat
ment.
DR.. P. i. Bellenger attended the in
jured persons while in Natchez.
The friends of Mrs. R. Y. Newell,
who has been so i'll in a sanitarium
in Natchez, will be pleased to hear
that she has sufficiently improved
to be able to be brought home and
returned last Sunday. She is now
with her sister, Mrs. A. 9. Lewis,
in St. Joseph.

School Board Meets Next tuesday.

Mr.. H. R. Guthrie, having NOV
ed to Mississippi, has rendered to
Gov. Sanders his resignation as a
member of the school board OF this
parish from the First Ward. The
governor has appointed as Mr..
Gutherie's successor, Mr.. Maxwell
w. Bland. His Excellency is to be
congratulated on his appointment,
which is a most commendable one
and cannot be other than highly
satisfactory to all of our people. In
this connection we wish to call the
attention of all members of the
board to the call for meeting to
be held at st. Joseph on Tuesday
March 1, for the purpose of elect
ing a new president, Mr.. Gutherie,
the retiring member, having also
been president of the board. The
necessity of a full quorum at thi:
meeting can be readily seen wher
it is understood that all financia
affairs of the board are practically
paralyzed during the vacancy in thu
office of president, whose signature
is necessary to every warrant before
payment can be made. 1t is, there
fore, to be earnestly hoped that {
full attendance will be present q
the forthcoming meeting to be hell
on next Tuesday.

22nd February at St. Ieseph High School,

George Washington's birthday was not
very deliberately celebrated in st. Joseph
on Tuesday and but little occurred out
of the ordinary to mark the occasion,
save the frustrated attempt on the part
of the principal and faculty of the st.
Joseph High School to hold school III
strict contravention to national custom,
and the student body had almost aban-
doned hopeof having their rights acknowl-
edged, when, 10! the high sheriff ap-
peared on the scene and served writ OF
injunction on said principal and facul-
ty, restraining them from teaching school
on recognized legal holiday. Seeing the
grim prison walls just across the square
staring them coldly in the face, the
teachers capitulated, and Q proud and
happy set of children were turned loose
for merry frolic and thereby do honor
to the memory of the man who was "firsi
in war, first in peace and first in the
hearts Of his countrymen."
The following is copy of the writ o.
injunction:
To the Honorable John s. Boatner,
Judge of the Tenth Judicial District
Court, holding sessions in and for
the Parish of Tensas:
The petition of John Doe, ct. ais, con-
shutting the student body of the Saint
Joseph High School, in this parish; re-
spectfully represents:
That your petitioners over their pro-
test, against their will, contrary to the
laws of this State and the Constitution OF
these United States, are being compelled
to attend school at said institution on
this the 22d day Of February, and thus
not only being deprived OF their inalien-
able rights as American citizens, but are
also being forced to show disrespect to
that great man, the Father of this Coun-
try, in commemOration of whose birth
day this day is universally made and de-
clared, recognized and celebrated as q
legal holiday.
Wherefore, petitioners pray that D. II.
SPRINGFIELD, Mary Gray, Josephine Ray

instanta adjourn all official exercises now
being, or proposed to be, conducted in
this said institution, pending the hearing
of this cause insofar as the same shall in
any manner conflict with the proper Gel
ebration and enjoyment of this said legal
holiday, and that the said defendants be
enjoined and restrained, and that after
all legal delays and due proceedings had,
that there be final order, perpetually
and eternally, enjoing and restraining
said defendants from further expressing
said plaintiffs, and from conducting said
exercises on this National Legal Holiday.

Catarrh being a constitutional disease,
requires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting

Something About Club.

There exists in Hammond a social
organization devoted to the science of
pinochle. Self-styled, it is the Cheap
skate club and it numbers in its mem
bership some of the best known men in
the city. It has fourished for more
than year, but before continuing with
an explanatory prelude it should ac-
cording to all rules of newspaper stor-
les, be stated at once that last week
this club nearly disbanded because of
near-attack of heart failure of one
of it's members. He was presented
with a pair of high priced seal fur
automobile gloves by the members of
the club. Such a present coming from
the Cheap Skate club, the least source
Imaginable, was cause enough to upset
any man.

lowing names on the roster:

BUSINESS
MEN RENEW
CONF |OENCE
Sale of Heintz Block Stimu-
1ates Faith in Hammond
Realty and Is Expected to
Be Followed by Other Big
Real Estate Deals.

While there has not been any great
activity in the real estate market this
week there was one notable sale, the
purchase of the Heintz block by the
Hammond heirs.
1t is expected that the effect of this
transaction will be to give the people
of Hammond renewed confidence in the
future of the city and impress upon
thm the fact that some of the moneyed
people of the city. at least, have enough
confidence in the business future of the
country to warrant them in putting
$4,000 in Hammond real estate.
Purchasers of real estate are prone
to follow the example of those who
have a large amount of money. When
the big dealers sell or retrench the
small ones do likewise and when the
big dealers buy the small ones at once
follow their example.
Big Men Have Confidence.
SAE,his is expected to have its effect in
/enewal of real estate activity in
SffaFnmond. The recent purchase of the
Tow1e block by Gostlin, Meyn & Co. is
another indication that no matter what
may be said about the business flu
ture Of the city they have confidence
in the permanency of value of Ham
mond real estate.
The large number of buildings that
are projected is another indication that
capital, which has been timid for so
long, Is coming out and is going into
real estate investments.
These things are all taken as fa-
vorable indications of the business out
look. When, for example. the hackers
of the White Store put $4,000 to s75,-
600 in the stock of that store and in
new fixtures 1t was the best possible
indication that they had confidence in
the immediate business future of the
region.
Many of the architects and contrac-
tors are looking forward to the most
prosperous building season the city of
Hammond has ever known. Many build
ings are being started, even this late
in the season, with the expectations
that the building activity next summer
will be great that it will be more
difficult to build than it is at the pres
ent time. y

The village board of West Hammond
last night decided by a vote of three
to two to hold special election on
Tuesday Dec 27 for the purpose of de-
Gliding whether or not the village shall
become a city.
The preliminary steps were taken
when a petition. bearing the requided
number of names, was presented to the
village board at its meeting last night
asking that the election be held.
The board then passed a resolution
calling the election for Dec. q. The
resolution was opposed by two of the
new aldermen who will have to stand
for reelection next spring, If the
change is made, but two other trus-
tees favored the resolution and Presi-
dent John Hessler cast the deciding
vote in favor of the election.
West Hammond Is Big.
In speaking of the matter this morn

said, Il believe that the present census
will show that there are 5000 people IN
