From Our State Exchanges

Assumption Pioneer: There are NUNS
Der of vacancies to be filled in the public
schools Of the parish.
New Orleans Picayune: Every man has
some fad and what pity it is that minding
ones own business is not popular.
Mansfield Enterprise: II is loudly pro-
claimed that the prime motive IN this strict
and technical grading Of examination pa
pers, has for its prime object. the exclusion
of all teachers, except Normal graduates
from the public schools Of the State.
Baton Rouge State-Tmes: Baton Rouge
could with profit pass law that enforced,
would close up ali negro dives and white
gambling rooms. Negro dives are breed
ing spots for crime that lead in the end to
q Harrison riot. The white gambling houses
corrupt youth. If the Baton Rouge coun-
Gil has authority to pass an anti gambling
ordinance, it should be done. An idle,
gambling negro, who soon degenates into
q cocaine fiend, is menace to the peace OF
both races. The white professional gambler
is not needed.

mended that guests be compelled to

IN MEMORTAM

Whereas, God, in His infinite wis
dom, has seen fit to remove from our
midst our beloved school mate and
pupil, Winona Martin; therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the pupils and
teacher of the Oxford High School, do
most sincerely mourn her loss, and do
sadly miss her from her accustomed
place. We miss her bright smile and
winning ways; we miss her strong
personal example, and her earnest en-
deavor to excel in all her studies; we
miss her warm love and affection
shown to all her school mates, and her
courtesy and respect to her teacher.
While we bow to Gods will in respect
full obedience, it is with sad hearts and
the glorious hope that some sweet day
we may again meet our schoo1mate
who has gone before n a brighter
happier land where partings come no
more:
Resolved, That a copy of these reso-
Iutions be spread upon the records of
our literary society and a copy be sent
to the press for publication.
"she is not dead, the child of our af-
lection,
But gone to that great school,
Where she no longer needs our poor
protection,
| And Christ, Himself, doth rule.
Day after day we think what she is
doing
In those bright realms of air;
Year after year, her tender steps pur-
suing
Behold her grown more fair.
Not as child shall we again behold
her
But when with raptures wild
In our embraces we again enfold her
She will not be child.
But a fair maiden, III her Fathers
mansion,
Clothed with celestial grace,
And beautiful with all the souls ex-
pansion
Shall we behold her face.
And though at times tempestous with
emotion,
And anguish long suppressed,
like the ocean
That can not be at rest.
We Will be patient, and assuage the
pain
We may not wholly stay;
BY silence sanctifying, not concealing,
The grief that must have way"

home not far from here where they
own a nice little forty" which sgd
thinks of improving. We consider this
nice little farm and in a good truck
ing region like this it is a good thing
to have.
We are glad to learn that Mrs. Cant
who has been sick for some time, is
improving.
Mrs. Anderson entertained as guests
