DEATH OF Mr.. SIMON LEOPOLD.

The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ben Leopold Of this place sympathize
with them greatly in the deep grief
they feel in the death of his beloved
brother, Mr. Simon Leopold of Ber-
wick, La. He was under treatment at
Touro Infrmary, New Orleans, and it
was realized by those familiar with his
case, that it was hopeless one, but it
was expected that he would linger
some time longer with his heart-strick-
en- family and friends. But on Sunday
last, the grim messenger came, and at
seven o'clock in the evening the invalid
slipped away into the Beyond.
Mr.. Leopold was a prominent mer-
chant and good citizen of Berwick, La,
where he spent most of his life, having
gone there when quite young man.
He was man of ideal character and
behavior in every relation of life-a
tender, loving husband and father,
having almost woman's gentleness
in dealing with his loved ones. He
was a faithful and affectionate brother
and friend, and to the mother, who not
so long ago preceded him to the land
of rest, he was ever a devoted son. In
a word, all who know and admire his
brother, Ben Leopold, will readily un.
derstand the beauty of his character
and disposition, as the two were coun-
terparts of each other in that respect.
His unfailing consideration for others
las shown even on his deathbed when
ne requested his wife to show kindly
attentions to the young girls who
cursed him.
He was an enthusiastic Freemason,
and its beautiful lessons of fraternal
love and unfailing charity blossomed
forth in his deeds and conversation.
He served as worshipful master of
Morgan City lodge, and as worthy
patron of the Eastern Star chapter at
that place, and his brother Masons
performed the last rites over his mortal
body, the funeral taking place at Der.
wick. He leaves a wife, three chill.
dren, and two brothers, Ben and
Manassas Leopold, the latter being
also his partner in business.
To live right is to die right, and
| after all man can reach no greater
height than to receive the encomium
We'll done" from his Maker.

A BROTHERS LOVE.

In Major Robert Styles book, -Four
Years Under Marse Robert in the Army
of Northern Virginia" is beautiful
account of fraternal devotion. 1t tells
of how Judson and Carey Smith died:
There were a number of Yale men
in the Twenty-frst Mississippi Regi-
ment, among others Jud and Carey
Smith We used to call Jud Indian
Smith at Yale | think it was at
Savage Station, when the Seventeenth
and Twenty-first Mississippi were put
into the woods at nightfall and direct
ed to lie down, that Carey Smith, the
younger brother, putting his hand in
his bosom found it covered with blood
when he withdrew it, and saying, what
does this mean?' instantly died. He
had been mortally wounded without
knowing when.
"Judson Smith went almost derang-
ed; yes, | think altogether deranged.
He bore his dead brother out Of the
woods. His company and regimental
officers proposed to send the body to
Richmond in an ambulance and urged
Judson to go with it. He refused both
propositions. He kept the body folded
to his bosom, and all through the night
his comrades heard Judson kissing
Cary and talking to him and petting
him, and then sobbing as if his heart
would break Next morning he con-
sented to have his brothers. body sent
to Richmond, but refused to go him
self. When the regiment moved he
kissed Carey again and again, and then
left him, following the column all day
alone, allowing no one to comfort or
even to speak to him. SO that night
he lay down alone, not accepting the
proffered sympathy and ministrations
of his friends, and resumed his solitary
march in the morning.
"That was Malvern Hill day, and
when the regiment on it's first charge
stopped ascending that fearful slope
of death and turned back, Jud Smith
did not stop. He went right on, never
turned, and was never seen or heard
of again.
These young men were from East
Feliciana.

PARISH SCHOOL NOTES

! All of the schools of the parish open
Monday, Sept. IA. 1t is earnestly de.
sired that all the students be on hand
the first day 1t is the purpose OF the
school authorities to award certificates
of honor to all students who are
neither absent nor tardy during the
school year
The first day of school will be spent
| in enrolling students, classifying, as
signing lessons, etc. 1t is essential
that each student enroll the first day
in order to get an even start with his
classmates,
The principal of each school will be
required to collect the incidental fees.
These are the same as heretofore
so cents for one pupil, S1.0O for two,
$3.50 for three or more from the same
family. Parents should see that each
child has the money for this purpose
the first day of school. If at all posi-
BILE, the money should be paid in the
first day, or at least before the close
of the first week All incidental fees
must be collected by the close OF the
first school month The principals OF
the schools will give receipts for the
money and turn the fees over to the
parish superintendent Principals or
teachers have no authority to expend
the incidental fees for any purpose
whatsoever, without authority from the
parish superintendent
All teachers must be on hand Mon
day morning before the time for open
ing school, The first day should be
sufficient for getting the work Of the
school arranged, so that the regular
school routine may be begun Tuesday
morning.
The Grange Hall transfer wagon will
be run by Mr. Bowman on the same
schedule as in previous years.
Attention is called to the schedule
of the Bains school transfer which is
given in this issue. Students should
note carefully the time of arrival at
the various stations and must be at
the stations in order not to keep the
transfer waiting. The driver is not
required to wait any considerable
length of time for tardy students.
We earnestly desire the cooperation
lof parents and all interested in the
schools of the parish. We invite friend
lily and constructive criticism. But
don't make the mistake of spending
too much time looking for something
to criticise. Get under the load and
lift" Visitors to the various schools
will always be made welcome.
The attention of the citizens of st.
Francisville is respectfully called to
the published report Of the Police Jury
proceedings last week. 1t will appear
from this report that unless the town
is willing to pay half the deficit for the
lyear, the Police Jury is not willing to
help pay the deficit. The citizens of
the town and the patrons of the parish
schools should instruct their represen-
tatives on the Police Jury and the
Town Council to get together in this
matter Whatever else must suffer,
the schools of the parish should not be
allowed to perish.

Parish Superintendent

ION BEHALF OF THE PRIMARY
TEACHERS"
(Woodyille Republican.l

AS it will soon be time for the re-
opening of the public schools of this
state, we feel that it is our duty, on be-
half of the primary teachers, to notify
all parents who have babies that are
lust crazy to go to school, that the
necessary cradles and nurses have not
yet been furnished, and that it is i'm
possible for the over-worked primary
teachers to do their work and nurse
at the same time. 1t is nothing short
of an imposition for mothers to try to
impose thus on public school teachers,
and principals of schools should see
that such abuses are discontinued and
the law enforced in this particular.

We have seen this summer the spar
row-the common, English sparrow
catching and eating the brown-taiI
moth. We have seen him, in New
Hampshire, where they are at present
a destructive pest, making a meal out
of grasshoppers. We have watched
him hopping along branches of trees
and peeking away almost like wood
pecker-what was he after? We do
not know, but imagine it was some
sort of insect, Some think he may be
in process of transformation, adjust
ing himself to a country where insects
are threatening to destroy nearly all
the fruits of agriculture. We may yet
live to be glad of his presence.-Dumb

THE GOVERNOR WAS RIGHT.
(Pointe Coupee Banner.)

(Pointe Coupee Banner.)
The governor in making a simple
and dignifed request for a full state
ment of the expenditures and list of
employees of the federal health "clean
up" authorities, acted strictly within
his rights and as the people of the
state would expect The very undigni-
fed and insulting answer which he re-
ceived from DR.. Rucker, the federal
officer in charge, to the effect that ''it
was none of the governors business"
is a direct insult to the people of the
state. A fancy proportion of the states
funds are being used in this campaign,
and the governor and the people have
right to know what is being done
with the money.

Never Brighten a Child.

Says the Italian physiologist. Mos 50: Every ugly thing told to child. every fright, every shock given him will remain like a minute splinter in the flesh, to torment him all his life long" Doctor Barker, In quoting this statement with approval, adds: The mother. the nurse. the maid and the servants still frighten the child with tales of the bogy-man. of goblins or ogres, of witches and of wizards. Doctor Barker urges that instead of thus stimulating fears, the wise pa rent will endeavor to teach the child to be courageous and not to have fear of the dark or of thunder or light ming, or be afraid of being alone. Ger tain fears common to childhood, he says, are easily overcome, especially through the example of courage set by the parent, nurse or teacher. There are cases, however, in which fears are a symptom of disease. Thus. a young girl brought to Doctor Barker because of distressing fear of burglars in the house" was found to be suffering from goiter. Children who suffer from night terrors" often have adenoids. With the removal of this growth. slight operation. the night terrors' disappear.
