SUFFICIENT UNTO HERSELF.

Small and independent Mamie was
exploring toy-shop with her moth
er and two older brothers. To see
what she would do in an emergency,
they hid behind a counter and
watched her. After looking around
md finding herself quite alone, she
serenely resumed her trudge, gazing
complacently at the array of dolls
and toys. Presently floor walker,
who had taken in the bit of fun, ap-
preached her and said:

IN MEMORIAM.

Departed this life at her home near
Cloutierville, La, May 20, 1912, at
1890 a. m, Rosa Grant, wife of Raoul
RACIAL, and only daughter of the late
Richard Grant and Augustine Delou-
ches, aged 81 years, 10 months and %
days.
The deceased is survived by her hus-
band and seven children, besides a half
brother, R. H. Grant, of Boyce, and a
half sister, Mrs. T. M Wells, of Col
fax, La. Mrs. Rachal was devout
Catholic, and strict adherent of the
teachings of that faith, very domestic
in her nature, quiet and ever watchful
for the care of her offspring, seldom
leaving her home, except to attend the
church that she worshipped at for the
past forty years.
The writer of this brief sketch has
known her intimately during her entire
life, and never knew a more devoted
wife and mother.
Grieve not, devoted husband and dis
tressed children, for her soul, CARRIED
in the habiliments of purity and love
now scars around the throne of her
Redeemer, there to await the coming
of the dear ones left to mourn the loss
of their best and dearest friend.
Interment took place in the Catholic
grave yard at Cloutierville. The cause
of her death was Bright's disease, from
which she suffered many months.
A FRIEND.

L. S. U. Boys Home for Summer.

In the hurly burly of school closing,
commencement, etc., we overlooked
mention of the return of our boys from
the La. State University last week.
Colfax has been represented at Baton
Rouge by fine set of young men.
They all had to get home by round
about way, on account of the high
water and crevasses cutting off the
direct trip home by railroad. Messrs.
Ivy and Foster McNeely came up the
Ouachita river on steamboat to Co
lumbia, and from there they came on
the Iron Mountain to Alexandria, and
thence home. Messrs. Gordon Cam
eron, Elmer Jeter and Earl Jones went
to New Orleans, and then came around
by way of the Southern Pacific route to
get home.

Is. Farewell address to the patrons
and pupils, by Mr.. j. o. Crawford.
On Saturday, June 1, there was a
picnic and fish fry at Black Creek
bridge, given for the enjoyment of the
teachers, patrons and pupils, for it was
to be the last day the teachers were to
spend with the patrons and pupils.
About 1890 there was never a more en-
joyoble dinner spread in the shade of
trees. 1t consisted of an abundance of
fish. After dinner they all received an
enjoyable rain, and then returned to
their homes.
Saturday night some of the pupils
and the teachers were entertained with
an ice cream supper at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. c. E. Arlington, where they
seemed to enjoy themselves very much
Sunday morning the teachers left for
their respective homes.
The patrons and pupils can never
give them too much credit for their
work at this place. The patrons con-
graduate the teachers very much for
the interest they took in the teaching
and training of the children, and wish
them great success in all undertakings
in the future. Two PUPILS.

Alexandria has been stirred up
this week over the mysterious
disappearance of DR.. d. w. Glib
son. His coat and collar were
found on the traffic bridge with
blood on them and it was thought
he was murdered and thrown in
the river. Dynamite was used
in y. effort to recover the body,
and while this work was going
on it was reported that he was
seen in Lecompte. He told an
incoherent tale of being kidnap-
mapped by two Mexicans. Since
then DIR. Gibson has disappeared
again and his whereabouts are
shrouded in as much mystery as
at first. DR.. Gibson had recent
ly graduated in dentistry at
Nashville, Tenn, and was STOP
ping at the Bentley hotel with
his wife. His wife thinks his
mind is deranged as he had been
under a great strain for more
than two years, and had come to
Alexandria for a rest.

The citizens of Colfax are re-
minded that it is against the
town ordinances to throw old tin
cans, broken pots and rusty
pans, and all kinds of trash in
the streets, on the sidewalks or
in the cutters. Parties who vio-
late this ordinance are liable to
be fined. Burn all trash that
will burn, and bury all bones,
brickbats, wires, tins, etc., OF
have them hauled away. The
streets, sidewalks and cutters
are to be kept clean, if we want
to have health and comfort, and
escape DR.. Dowling's order to
clean up.

What About Our Rural Schools.

The pertinent question, What
About Our Rural Schools?" is
asked by c. j. Brown, State
supervisor of rural schools. And
he proceeds to tell some interest
ing facts about the rural schools.
Exclusive of the city of New Or
leans seventy-five per cent of the
children of the State enrolled in
the schools attend rural schools.
Yet, as compared with town and
city schools, the buildings aver
age less than half as good; the
teachers are only two-thirds as
well qualified; the furniture hard
ly one-third as adequate; the
terms only three-fourths as long;
there is no time, equipment, or
special ability, among the teach
ers to instruct in industrial SUBJ
jects; and one teacher attempts
to teach four times as much SUBJ
ject matter. Besides this, the
rural schools are handicapped by
other things from which the
town schools are free.
These statements are based
upon the best available statistics.
and show the great need for a
half million dollar fund to affect
a proper organization of the
State rural schools. 1t is purely
a business proposition. The
