The Lindsey.Wilson. A Home In
SfitutiOn.

The opening of this well-known school
Tuesday. September 5th was very graft
flying to the Principals, Messrs. Neil
son & Moss, who have become perma-
nent residents of Columbia, and who are
doing every thing they can to educate
the boys and girls of Adair and adjoin-
ing counties. 1t is expected in a very
short time more pupils will be on the
hill than any other year in the past.
The principals have secured the services
of excellent corps of assistants,
teachers who are interested in the
success of the Institution, and there is
no just reason why it should not be pat
ronized by all home people.
1t is an enterprise established largely
by the people of Adair county, and we
take it that that those who are inter-
ested in the building up of the town
and county are proud that such school
has been established in our midst
Tuition and board away from home is
very expensive, hence home institu-
ton should be encouraged by home
people. The dormitories at the Lindsey
Wilson are in excellent condition. the
rooms of ample size and well ventilated.
Good wholesome foud Send in youI
boys and girls. They will receive best
of treatment, and will be advanced as
rapidly as at any other school in Ken
lucky in the same class with the Lind.
sey-Wilson. The course of studies are
laid down in the catalogue, and they
will bn taught thoroughly

band last Wednesday morning at $50.
While no sin had ever come into his life,
his death brought sorrow, not only to
his parents and little sisters. but to
many who had learned to love him.
He was bright little boy, the sunshine
of the home and a general favorite.
The old people were very fond of him,
and strong men expressed the deepest
sympathy for the parents during his
short illness, every body anxious for
his recovery, and when his little spirit
took its flight. all heads bowed in sor-
row.
Religious services were held at the
residence Thursday morning, conducted
by ED z. T. Williams. Many of the
little fellows admirers, old and young,
were present. and quite a number went
with the remains to Crocus, the parents

TERED. There were many beautiful
floral offerings.
His death was caused by an accident,
which was reported in last weeks

ured young lady, and quite popular
with all her associates; that she went
with her parents to Louisville and
married the Mayor of the city. He
was quickly corrected by Mrs. Weaver,
who said, she married P. G. Weaver
and made him Mayor
The speakers subject was the '1m-
provement of the Public Schools. T"
She talked about one hour, showing
that she was deeply interested in her
theme, giving many reasons why there
should be many changes in the methods
of teaching. and in the school bui d.
ings, and the formation of school
leagues in each district. Having been
teacher herself, she could cite the
needs, bringing out her points clear and
forcibly.
Mrs Weaver takes a great interest
in the affairs of women, the work they
are doing and can do, and is a leading
spirit among the prominent ladies of
Louisville.
While here she stopped at the home
of Governor Hindman, and during the
evening met many of her old friends.

FATHER SCHMITT, HIGH
LY ESTEEMED PRE-
LATE, DIES IN
WASHINGTON.
Was Assistant Rector OF CathO-
lie Church AT this Place for
Nine Years.

Universal sorrow among tie
Catholic community Of this sec
tion upon receiving the news that
Father E. M. Schrnitt, for nine
years assistant at st. Landry's
Catholic Church in Opelousas,
had died at his home in Wash
ington, La, was expressed.
His death occurred Monday
morning at 7::30 o'clock, and he
was buried in New Orleans on
Tuesday at 10 o'clock.
The Times-Democrat, speaking
of Father Schmitt, says:
He was born in New Orleans
Aug. q, 1856, and at the age of
seventeen entered the Redemp-
torist College at ChataWa, Miss,
after attending the Jesuits'
School. He gave early indica-
tions of being well fitted for the
priesthood, and his education was
entirely based upon theological
principles. At the age of twenty
seven he was ordained priest in
St. Mary's Assumption Church,
the place where he was baptized.
He said his first mass Oct. /,
1883, and remained in st. Mary's
for some time, doing great deal
of mission work.
His career is a notable one,
for he achieved much success in
the South, and was regarded as
an unusually able priest and an
eloquent and forcible orator. He
was sent to Kiln, Miss, as rector
of the church at that place, and
remained there for five years,
going then to Opelousas where
he remained for nine years with
St. Landry's Church. His last
parish was at the Church Of the
Immaculate Conception in Wash
ington, where he was sent five
years ago. Besides his other ac-
complishments he was an able
writer on many subjects, al
though none of bis work was
ever published.
He is survived by brother,
Rev. Father Joseph Schmitt, and
three sisters, Mrs, Joseph
Schwartz, and Miss Josephine
Schnitt, all Of New Orleans, and
Mrs. Nj. Albanese of Mobile. "

1909 POLL TAX PAY.
MENT TOPPED BY 6O5
Increase Comparatively Small, Think Those
Who Should Know Political Conditions.
INCLUDES BOTH PARISHES
No Detailed Statement 0btaIRabIe Until Next
Week 1909 Payment Was 6252, And
1910 Is 6857

Six hundred and five more vo-
ters paid their poll taxes for 1910
than did in 1909.
The increase is hardly in keep
ing with the increase in many
sections of the State, and is dis
appointing to many who expected
a high water mark in poll tax
payment.
As small as the increase is,
however, it is gratifying, as it
shows a healthy interest of the
people in the affairs of the gov
ernment. The citizen who does
not think enough of his country
to qualify himself to vote is, as
Roosevelt would say, AN unde-
sirable citizen" Were the bulk
of the citizenry of a country to
believe that the government
could get along all right without
their vote, anarchistic conditions
would soon prevail. The few
would govern the many.
However small the increase is
in St. Landry parish, it is still
commendable that there was an
increase. Of course these fig
ures include both St. Landry and
the recently divorced territory of
Evangeline.
The poll tax payment, how
ever, exceeds the registration
that is, the last statement of
registration made, which was on
October 9Th. Up to that day
there were 4067 registered, di-
vided as follows: Democrats,
3817; Republicans, 35; Socialists,
2; no political afiliation, 212; in
dependents, l.
There is no doubt, however,
that most of those who have paid
their poll taxes, will qualify
themselves to vote by register
ing at the propez time.
About fifteen hundred hunting
licenses have been paid so far;
but as the season runs to June
next, it is safe to say that many
more will be paid. The season
for hunting deer expired on jan
uary 1st.
