ate dead, and it is the day on which
most frequently this beautiful custom
has been observed, April and June
Bird, though occasionally substituted,
having been found respectively too
early or too hot. This year it has not
seemed practicable to make general
observance Of either of the dates in
April. But the day will not pass with
out the loving, faithful hearts of sur.
Vivors recalling the blessed memory Of
the unforgotten dead Each may te-
call different name, but the rever-
ence and love will be the same. Flow
ers may not mark the earthly resting
place of where they sleep, each in his
snug green tent, until the glad reveille
of eternity begun aWakens him, but in
hearts that cherish them, there is a
shrine where loves. choicest immor-
telles are garlanded in their honor. On
the page of Southern history, they may
not be mentioned by name, but form:
ing as they do the elect body who
made that history, "all glorious With
in," each faded muster roll is scroll
that the Angel of Fame has placed
within her temple.
Therefore to the unforgotten, let us
breathe of love and trust, and hope
for that future meeting, when only
what is best of earth and time shall
have Survived.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
ASSOCIATION.

On May 21st and 22nd, 1913, the Par
ish Sunday School Association holds
it's annual convention, and prepare
tons are being made by those in
charge to make this gathering to be
held in Norwood, La, one of the best
religious gatherings ever held in the
parish. The State Sunday Schoo, AS.
ISOLATION is cooperating with the local
Sunday School workers in the parish,
and are going to send some Of its
ablest workers to the convention. The
President, Mr. D. M. Pipes, and the
Secretary, Mr.. w. A. West, OF the
Parish Association, are anxious to
get in touch with every Sunday School
worker and pastor in the parish and
should any such persons reading this
article have failed to receive a notice
concerning the convention the Off
GERS would appreciate a line from
them to that effect. The only reason
they have not received proper notice
is because the Association has been
unable to locate them. Just send your
name and that of your school with
the list of its delegates and places of
entertainment will be given them dur
ing their stay at the convention.
Certainly every Sunday School in
the parish should be represented by
one or more delegates, for this is an
opportunity for our Sunday School
people to learn better methods of
Sunday School work and to awaken
us to the realization that progress is
being made in the Sunday School
work of the world as it is in every
other field
Much interest is being aroused and
plans are being made for a conven-
ton we'll worth while. XXX

LITTLE JANET RuRGAs DIES.

Messrs. Sam and Joe Rosenthal were
called to New Orleans, Friday morn
ing, by the death of their niece, Janet
Burgas, the little daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs Morris Burgas. The child passed
away Thursday night after a brief ill.,
ness, the cause of which has not yet
been learned as it had only been
heard here, Thursday, that she was i'll,
suffering with a violent headache.
Janet was a sweet winsome little
girl, between 10 and II years of age,
and dearly loved by family and friends.
The greater part of her brief life was
spent in st. Francisville, whence the
family removed to New Orleans, and
here she is tenderly remembered. The
shock to her relatives is terrible, and
their grief heart-rending.
Interment was made in New Orleans.

FIND SEEPAGE AT iRVINE'S.

A telegram from New Roads report
ed to the Daily Picayune as follows:
"The Mississippi River in this Sec

at the rate of about 4. 1t was discov-
cred that water is running through the
base Of the levee at Irvine's, about six
miles from this place, opposite Bayou
Sara, but bitches are being opened to
let this water out. A ditch will be dug
from the levee through the plantation
of Raphel Provosty which is a distance
of about a mile and a quarter, to give
drain to the seepage water along the
levee. Beginning this week guards
will be kept on the levee from Tprras
to Point Monoir, which covers a terri
tory of about fifty miles on the levee.

THE ENTERTAINMENT.

The entertainment, Friday night, for
the benefit Of the high school library,
was pleasing break in the monoto-
my. The net proceeds were about $40,
over sixty dollars being received at
the door, This gives an impression
of the crowd, as the price of admis-
sion was small. The affair was origi-
nally projected by Miss Bertha Latane
of the high school faculty, who gave
over the chief management to Mrs. E.
S. Quinn who, in turn, was assisted by
Mrs. Sadie Ellis Mcguire. These three
ladies achieved great success in fur.
nishing catchy, and not too long pro-
gram. The first number was a read
ing by Miss Martha Fort, dressed in
character, and giving one of Ruth Nc
Emery Stuart's clever negro monolo-
CUES, entitled, "An Easter Symbol"
She responded to an encore, only by
bobbing a courtesy and saying "Im
much obleedged to you"
Little Miss Eloise Stocking sang
"They always Pick on Me-" Then fol-
lowed the play Declined with Thanks"
in which all the cast were stars, so
well did each perform his part. These
were Mrs. Mcguire, Miss Irene Dillon,
Miss Leila Golsan, Messrs. Floyd FAIR,
o. H. Briedenbach, F. B. bennett, G.
S. Davidson and Jas. L. Stirling. The
play was light and amusing, and took
we'll.
Miss Rosalie Richardson then recit-
ed 1.-THE Nervous Woman at the Tele-
phone" a piece which never fails to
amuse.
Miss Amy Leake next recited "The
Relief of Lucknow" giving that touch
of seriousness to the previous merry
numbers of the program. Music be-
hind the scenes for this reading was
rendered by Miss Ladye Quinn and
Mrs. Mcguire. For an encore, Miss
Leake recited, mo Kiss"
Between the numbers Mrs. Quinn's
orchestra furnished delightful music,
and more than one remarked that it
was the best amateur music had here
in many years.
Dancing followed the conclusion of
the stage program, and was kept up
till two o'clock. The hall was so crowd
ed that dancing was not really enjoy
ed by the older dancers till at least
half past ten. Occasional dances were
given to the children especially.
The supper room sold out at an ear
ly hour, and much more could have
been disposed of had it been provided.
A complete success pleased and en-
couraged every one who had worked
for the affair.

lowing officers: S. Nice. Lawrason,
president; J. R. Matthews, cashier; D.
l, Norwood, assistant cashier; w. Fl.

Owing to the prevailing economy
in business affairs it had been thought
by some that the affairs of the bank
could be handled by three men instead
of four and Mr. Norwood expressed a
willingness to retire, but his services
were retained until July LIST.

THE cATALPA TREE.

The catalpa trees are in full bios.
som. Prodigal of bloom they produce
immense bouquets where other trees
send forth single flowers. If the catal-
pa were more rare-or less hardy-if
the trees grew only in the heart of AT
RIGA and were procurable only at great
cost and effort what a furoe would
be made over them. But grown so
easily and quickly, the treasure is dis
regarded. When every thing turned
to gold at the touch of Midas, it ceas-
ed to be precious to him. The catalpa
however delights any flower lover, al
though its bouquets are otu of reach,
By the way, the word catalpa is u.s.
ually pronounced as if spelled ca-tall-
pa. Why is this in the South, where
the broad is usually neglected?

THE WATER SITUATION.

The Bayou Sara gauge read 1875 feet,
yesterday morning, and rising.
All are agreed hiatt the crisis of the
present high situation is now rapidly
approaching this section. The result
will depend largely upon weather con-
ditions and possible breaks at other
points in the levee system. A hope
full note was sounded Wednesday
morning from the weather bureau
when bulletin was issued reducing
the flood estimate one-half foot at
all points south Of Vicksburg, and the
water at that point is now falling. This
was caused in a measure by the Gre
vase at Myersville, few miles south
of Vicksburg. This break may cause a
temporary stationary stage in the river
at this place for few days; but, as
the crevasse water will again find its
way into the Mississippi, further rise
may be expected.
Many people here are of the opinion
that the stage here will not go over As
feet, and believe that the Bayou Sara
levee will easily hold that much water
However, too much faith must not be
placed in the levees, and every pre-
caution should be taken to protect
property.
The high winds of Wednesday and
Thursday, followed by hard rains have
had a bad effect on the levees at many
points, particularly at Angola, where
some of the levee is reported to be in
very bad condition. Wave wash i'll
front of Angola was particularly bad.
Locally, everything that could have
been done to avoid trouble has been
done. Col. Irvine has had large
force of men and teams at work, at
private expense, for several days and
has raised the entire town levee of Ba:
you Sara The st. Francisville town
levee has been raised above the stage
Of last year. T he Y & M. V. R. R.
has raised and strengthened it's pare
of the Bayou Sara levee and has rails
ed part of its track.
Through traffic on the Woodville
Branch of the Y. & NJ. V. was inter
rupted yesterday, and will remain i'll
this condition until the water falls
The Woodville Accommodation has
been annulled north of PoWell's Sta
ton and the mixed train will for the
present run only between Woodville
and Bayou Sara. A clerk will be plac-
ed at Powell's to look after freight.
The L. R. & N. people have been bus.
lily engaged in raising track between
Angola and Soest and are making ev-
cry effort to be in a position to main
tain through service when the crest
of the food arrives.
Back water is already appearing in
lower st. FrancisviIIe and the merch-
ants are raising the floors in their
stores to protect their goods. The
town authorities have again erected
the elevated sidewalks used last year.
Everybody is now awaiting the crisis,
hoping that the worst will prove not
so bad as has been forecasted.
Precipitation for week: 1.99 inch.
Forecast for Friday: Tonight, fair:
cooler. Saturday, fair; light northerly
winds

NEW SUPERINTENDENT CHOSEN

The choice of Mr.. H. ]. Smith of
Jackson as superintendent of the pub
lie schools of West Feliciana Parish
has been made. Mr.. Smith has had
no previous experience as superin-
tendent, but has served very accepta-
bly, as principal of high schools, hav-
ing been for the past two years at the
head of the w. R. McKowen high school
at Jackson and was reelected for the
ensuing year when he decided to come
to st. Francisville instead in the Ca
pacity mentioned above. Mr.. Smith is
young and energetic and is liked by
his pupils-a favorable consideration
indeed where perfect running is desir-
ed. His good influence and work with
the schoolboys at Jackson have been
previously referred to in these col
umns, and we believe that if he exerts
similar influence in this parish
it will effect wholesome change in
the rural schools. Education is not
attractive when the superintendent is
disliked or detested.
Mr.. Smith is graduate of Valparai-
so University, Indiana, and has the pro
gressive ideas of the college man. If,
at the same time, he is tactful and
considerate, and not harsh and arbi-
trary in his methods, he will find Meth
er the School Board nor the people diff
ficult to deal with.
We wish him success.
