Mr.. j. B. Merchant of Forest Hill, Rapides

how rapidly "the thin gray line'' is an

Louisiona Democrat: Don't be afraid
to do your duty because some one ridicules
or opposes you. A man who has opinions
of his own and the courage to advocate
them, will be sure to have opposition in
this world, because he runs contrary to
other peoples opinions; but just keep right
ahead if your cause is right and your
conscience clear. Don't bother yourself
about what other people say; life is too
short for that. Some will abuse you through
envy, others for the want of principle, and
some because they honestly differ with you;
but if you keep right on openly, manfully
and intelligently and with proper dignity
and character, honesty of purpose and
self-respect, those who differ with YOU will
respect your opinions.

well afford to trust. Mr.. William E. Krebs
of the Lake Charles American Press, was
elected first vice president. He is one Of
the ablest editors in the State, an honest,
fearless writer and true gentlemen. Miss
Eula Vandegaer of the Sabine Banner

is an excellent young lady, an earnest and
useful member, gifted and quite popular

recommended an appropriation of 81 900

Mayor Behrman's message, the New Or
leans States says: ''Among the troops
that figured in the battle array at Gettys-

from this State, and pride and patriotism
ought to impel US to send to the reunion a
delegation of grizzled veterans that in
