Dear Editor and Herald readers:
felt ! must write again this week, but
have so many things would like to tell
you it is hard to decide on a subject,
but if the writer was a preacher and
was writing a sermon she would either
take for a subject Even Christ Pleased
Not HIMSELF" ir "As ye would that men
do unto you do you even so unto them,"
or BE ye kind affectionate one toward
another" She would take a good dose
herself before sending it out to others.
for, however, if our greatest desire Is to
do the right in everything, we some
times fail, there is always room for i'm
prOvement in the best of us. But to
he subject.
Christ pleased not himself, he forgot
his own comfort ministering to others.
How unselflsh was his life, and he wants
his children ii have this spirit of unset
fshness. Friends, if we want to be hap
py let us forget ourselves, speak kind
word to SINE one in trouble or who Is
cast down. 1t takes but little time and
trouble, with no cost to be kind Not
day of our lives but what we can Ell
ther obey the golden rule-do someone
a kindness, return good for evil, or do
something that helps someone and adds
strength to our own souls.
Now you who have had the privilege
or misfortune of riding ON crowded
street car know the writer has the op-
portunity for some of the above things
mentioned, also needs standing grace,
grace, which has been given up to date.
Well, Mrs. Parrett and Mrs Bilbrey,
your boys were getting along fine at the

saw your boy yesterday, talked with

He sure does look well and is making a

the prison officials and does not com
plain against anyone. At present there
are 1925 prisoners, only nine women.
suppose Tennessee has the youngest
prisoner of any state in the Union-a
boy two weeks old a son of Mrs Lille
Lusk She was sent from Manchester
few months abo for aiding in the
white slave traffic. Truly the ways Of
the transgressor are hard.

Mr.. Stringer was born So years ago in

was Miss India Stringer and Miss Willie,
now Mrs. Eugene I Berry, of this parish
Mr.. Stringer was man OF strictest in
tegrity and his blameless life was passed
in this parish where he was always en-
gagged in planting pursuits. Throughout
the whole of his life stretched out far

The Gazette stated editorially,
some time ago that action should

gotten rid of before cattle raising in
the parish could he placed on an in.

On Saturday last there assembled
at New Orleans a great convention
whose purpose was to endorse the
Ransdell- HUMPHREYS levee bill and
urge upon Congress its passage at
the regular session of that body
which convened last Monday.
The convention was a representa-
tive one in every sense, delegates
being present from twenty. nine
parishes of the State, from eight Of
its levee boards, from six Of the
great commercial associations of the
City of New Orleans. The conven-
ton further had the endorsement
of the State Board of Engineers and
Col. Townsend, President of the
Mississippi River Commission par
ticipated in it and delivered a most
able and Illuminating address, ex-
tracts from which we publish else
where in this issue.
Other speakers were Senator Jos.
E. Ransdell, who is probably the
best posted man in public life on
questions of river and harbor i'm
provement, Messrs. NJ. J. Sanders
and w, B. Thompson, of New Or
leans, Senator Leon Smith, of
Shreveport, and Mr.. Leigh Carroll,
President of the Orleans Levee Board
The convention passed strong res
olutions endorsing the Ransdell-
Humphreys bill, which we publish
in another column.
State Senator Geo. H. Clinton
was present at the convention as a
delegate from this parish and was
complimented by being made per-
manent Secretary.
