CITY TAKES Up FIRST NOTE
ON POWER PLANT.

The Mayor and the Board of
Aldermen of this city, on We'd
nesday, paid the first note against
the city, for the establishment
Of the present splendid electric
service in Opelousas. Captain
Samuel Haas is the gentleman
who held the note and this note
was not due until in October,
over which the old Captain did
not worry. But being that the
city had been making money
since it was borrowed for better
ing the condition at the Power
House the Mayor deemed it best
to pay the note at present.
This incident goes to show that
the financial condition of this
city is better each time that a
month rolls by. It will not be
long before the city will be en-
tirely out of debt, if its good luck
keeps up.

New Daughters of the White House
Wear Only JeHeled Rings.

JeWeled rings will be the only
finger adornment worn by Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson and her daugh-
tiers. The wearing of jeWeled
rings exclusively is a return Of a
quaint fad of that old aristocratic
society of a generation back.
The Misses Margaret, Jessie
and Eleanor Wilson were the
first to stand sponsors for the
fad in social circles in the East.
The adopted rings are a develop
ment of the exquisite creations
of the arts. and crafts gold
workers. Wonderful color
effects are secured by the ar
rangement of the various semi
precious stones with pearls. Of
these rings the most popular are
those set with rubies and pearls,
emerals andpearls, ameythist and
pearls, garnets and pearls and
sapphires and pearls. The pearls
used are small ones. the stone be-
ing depended upon to give the
dominant color effect. Many of
the rings are set only with
stones, no pearl being used.
These rings are of popular price.
A feature of the new jeWeled
ring is that it's settings are
guaranteed. One manufacturer
Whitley & Warner-go SO
far as to replace without cost
any stone which may be lost
from a ring made by them, ex-
cepting only the replacing of
diamonds.
R. Mornhinveg and Son, the
Main Street jewelers., always
on the alert, have acquired the
exclusive sale of these W-W-W
rings and are now showing a
beautiful assortment.
Remember-the stone stays in
at no further cost to purchaser.

veg's show window?

-sTRANGE OATHS."

Before Mr.. Justice White took the
oath Of chief justice he was required
to subscribe to the "oath of allegi-
ance" required of al ex-Confeder-
ates entering upon federal Office.
When Judge Buchanan presented
himself in the Tennessee supreme
court as a member of that body APP
pointed by the governor a few days
ago, he was called upon, under the
law Of the state, to swear that he
had not engaged in a duel since the
passase Of the statute on the subject
and that he would not do so during
his term Of Office.
It is well that judges on the bench
be bound by sufficient formal obli
cations and pledges. At the same
time such oaths as those mentioned
were formulated for times far other
than the present, and it might be
well to abolish them.
