IN this parish where so much

Old Landmark Torn Down.

The building lately known as
the st. Paul Schoolhouse. in upper
Edgard, was sold by its owner
Mr.. P. r. Jacob to Mr.. A. j.
Schexneydre, who is having it
dismantled and the lumber
used in the construction of a
residence on his property nearby.
Years ago, this building was
owned by Mr.. ]. L. Lapeze who
conducted a general mercantile
business therein. Subsequently
Mr.. 0ptime Rodrigue bought the
establishment, selling some years
later to the firm Of Sentilles Bros,
composed Of Messrs. Paul and
Joseph Sentilles.
These gentlemen, leaving the
parish for broader fields Of aetivi-
ty, sold the lot and building to the
Schoolboard which fitted same
for schoolhouse. It was later
consolidated with the Edgard
School and closed. Advertised for
sale, Mr.. Jacob offered the
highest bid and the property was
transferred to him.
The building was, for a time, a
2-story structure and the upper
floor used as a dance hall. Social
events followed here in quick
succession in days gone by, leav-
ing only pleasant memories in
their wake.

Fifth Anniversary.

The fiftieth anniversary of the
Battle of Gettysburg is Gel
ebrated in the July American
Magazine with a remarkable
description of the Battle of
Gettysburg by Edgar Allen
Forbes entitled "Gettysburg-A
Heritage" The battle, as all
remember, lasted three days and
at the end of the first day the
situation was favorable to the
Confederate army. Mr.. Forbes
summarizes the result of the
first day as follows:
1T is all over now, and Gettys-
burg is in the hands of the
Southern party. Here on Gem
etery Ridge, with the shadows
of the tombstones frightening
as the sun goes down, the Iron
Brigade lines up for the saddest
roll-call in its history. Of three
of its regiments that bore the
brunt of the attack, the Twenty
fourth Michigan has 81 men left;
under the flag of the Nineteenth
Indiana stand only 70, and but
SO men of the Second Wisconsin
answer to their names. These
are all that is left-not one COM
pany to a regiment.
Here is the beautiful flag
that Detroit gave to the Twenty
fourth Michigan as it left for
the front; now it is so riddled
and torn that it is unfit for
further SERVICE and is going
back to the city that gave it. OF
the eight successive color-bear-
ers who carried this flag during
the day, seven lie out yonder in
the woods-four of them dead:
Twice during the fight, Colonel
Morrow took it in his own
hands; there it was when a ball
struck him down, and he is now
a wounded prisoner. A private
grasped the flag as the colonel
fell, and went on; then the
colors disappeared. When the
captain commanding the reg.
iment at length found them, the
bearer was lying upon his face,
Istill grasping the flag"

For the Poultry House.

To burn sulphur in a poultry
house first remove all combus-
tible matter. Then put an old
iron kettle into a dishpan and
place on four bricks in the mid
die of the house. In the kettle
put some cobs which have been
soaked in a solution of one part
of pine tar to four parts of
kerosene, sprinkle the sulphur
over the cobs and set on fire.
Be sure to have everything
arranged so as to beat a hasty
retreat from the room and close
the door quickly as the sulphur
fumes are suffocating. Sulphur
burned in this manner will
penetrate every crevice as well
as covering the surface and aids
wonderfully in purifying the
building and in destroying poul-
try vermin.
One pint of turpentine may be
added to the half gallon of kerr
osene as well as the pine tar
with beneficial results. Once q
month is none too often to burn
sulphur in every poultry house.
