Prof. w. c. Jordon, principal of
the St. Joseph High School, has ar
ranged with the Rev. Geo. Fox, of
Waterproof, to deliver the baccalau-
reate sermon for the graduating
class of the St. Joseph High School
on Sunday, May "a, which is the
fourth Sunday and Mr.. Fox's reg
u!ar appointment for Waterproof.
In consequence of Mr.. Fox's ap-
pointment for St. Joseph for that
day, he will not be with us on the
third Sunday. which is his regular
date for St. Joseph. This will per-
haps be the first time in the history
Of the St. Joseph High School that
a baccalaureate sermon has been de-
livered a graduating class. but as
the forthcoming class, including
five in its number, will be the larg
est ever graduated from this insti-
tuition, the compliment prepared
for them by their principal is most
fitting and appropriate.

4 CHALLENGE.

The Gazette is in receipt of the
following letter from Mr.. H. A..
Marschalk, formerly of the Water
proof Enterprise, and now deputy
Circuit Clerk at Port Gibson, Miss. :,
who proposes to bring a base ball
team over here to whip st Josephs'
and Waterproofs' off the face of the
earth"-as though that were posi-
BILE for any Mississippi team to do.
Of course Tensas would be delighted
to have visit from Bro. Mars
chalk's aggregation and of ball toss
ers (if they should be dignified by
that term) but the outcome of any
games that might be played is al
ready known, the only point of ar
gument perhaps being the extent of
our majorities. But here is what our
Mississippi news paper-politician-
baseball friend says:
Port Gibson, Miss, May 6, 1914.
Josiah p. Scott, .
Saint Joseph, La.
Friend Joe:-Am organizing a base
ball team here for the express purpose OF
"wiping you st. Josephs and Waterproofs
off the face of the earth" Said team will
be strictly all-home talent, composed OF
married men, single men, and men who
hope to join the ranks of matrimony,
men of all ages-from the cradle to in
trinity, that is: about my age. Now, we
want you fellows to organize similar
club, and name day and date and we
will make the trip by launch. Have writ
arrange game there also. Kindly hand
this communication to some of your base
ball enthusiasts, and also use your in.
fluence to get up the club.
With regards, and hoping to hear from
you at an early date,
Yours very truly,
III. A. MARSCHALK.
