Opportunity to Right a Wrong.
From the Monroe Independent

From the Monroe INDEPENDENT
One of the greatest personal political
wrongs ever perpetrated in this State was
that inflicted upon B. C. Caldwell by Gov
ernor Sanders in forcing him out of the
presidency of the Natchitoches Normal
School after years of honorable and useful
service to the State, with an unjust and
undeserved stigma upon his good name.
No man in the State had done more for
the cause of education, and none stood
higher in the esteem and confidence of
both the people and the great body of
educational workers in the State, many of
whom he had trained and launched upon
their careers. He had seen fit to oppose
the political aspirations of Governor San
ders, and to support his opponent, Col.
Theodore s. Wilkinson, in the gubernato-
rial campaign of four years ago, and
thereby incurred the Governors personal
and political hatred. Everybody is famil-
lar with the persecution that followed, and
its results; how the great work of years in

The saying, 'all those men have their
price, is often misquoted call men have
their price," which is not what Walpole
said. Allmen have not their price, though
"those men" referred to by Walpole may
have had their price. There are thousands
upon thousands of honest men who canno,
be bought at any price. This world would
not be worth inhabiting and life worth
living if "aN men had their price," We
pity the person who has no confidence in

The next reunion of the Confederate
veterans will be held at Macon, Ca, on
May 7th, 9Th and 9th next. In this con-
nection we will say that although DeSoto
Parish sent over 1850 soldiers to the Cen
federate Army, that there are now less than
100 veterans in the parish, and all of these
are old and feeble, and that this will be
the last opportunity that many of them
will have to meet their old comrades in
arms. Some of them are physically una
BILE to make the trip, others are able to
bear their own expenses, while others are
poor and cannot attend for the want of
funds. The matter has been carefully
considered, and it is found that the sum of
$500 will enable them all to 60, and the
Police Jury will be asked at it's next meet
ing to contribute this sum for their benefit.
The round-trip tickets will cost about S14
from Mansfield and return, so that it is
estimated that S22 each will foot the bill,
as it is estimated that there are thirty five
who will accept this aid.-Mansfeld En-
terprise.

A Book of Able Sermons.

The name of Seth Ward, Bishop of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South, pos
sesses very tender interest for thousands
who loved him as man, admired him as
preacher, honored him as one of the chief
officers of his great Church, and mourned
his seemingly untimely death in far-off
Japan. The volume of his sermons pre-
pared by Bishop E. D. Mouzon and issued
from the presses of the Publishing House
of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
comes at the right time, if we mistake not,
to receive at the hands of many a most
hearty reception. The sermons-fourteen
in all-are based upon the great texts OF
the Scriptures, and embody system OF
thought which appeals to all lovers OF
sound, attractive Christian literature
Bishop Ward was a great preacher, and
his sermons in print lose none of theil
force. The predatory appreciation by
Bishop Mouzon gives an excellent personal
viewpoint for those who desire to read the
sermons. Publishing House of the
