Hon. A. B. Romero who for
many years acted as Secretary
of the Police jury and Treasurer
of the Parish has this week issued
circulars, calling the attention of
the voters to the fact that he will
offer his name for the position of
Sheriff in opposition to our
worthy present incumbent, George
Henderson, at the next gen.
eral election to fill Parish Of
fees. Mr.. Romero, though recog-
nlzed by many as a Progressive,
does not state whether he will en-
ter the Primary or Convention of
, that Party, or remain in the Dem
ocratic party in which he has held
office number Of years; he
simply states to the voters the
conditions upon which he will
make his entry into the political
campaign and that one-third of
the emoluments of the office,
should be favored by the people,
will be given over to the School
Board for the education of the
children; another one-third will
be deposited into the Parish
Treasury to be applied to the pub
lie road fund and the other he
will retain for the conduct of the
office which will be the com
pensation for his services. He
further declares that he will
readily support any other cam
didate that will come out on the
same platform or conditions upon
which he makes his announcement
if it be made in good faith. Just
what strength Mr.. Romero will
build up while making his canvas,
we are unable to state at this
time. The office Of Sheriff, we
do know is one that is very much
over-rated, insofar as emoluments
are concerned, and if the gentle
man should meet with success, we
4, do not think there would be
enough left to hire the necessary
| clerical help and get the assistance
of deputies that are so necessary
in the administration of that par
/ ticular office. We, like many
others will be glad when the Leg
islature sets a straight compensa-
ton for all public officials, more
especially that particular office,
providing the compensation is in

sponsibilities attached. All off

Napoleon, greatest of modern con-

made his brothers and two of his mar

these subordinate sovereigns were
shaken from their thrones-all except
one. The throne of Sweden, and that

THE FAIRIES DISGUISE

F. Once upon time there lived an
old woman In little house on the
edge OF the woods. She had q little
garden back OF the house and In front
grew the prettiest flowers Of all kinds.
There were golden-glow. sunflowers.
pansies, petunias. marigolds and all
the gay-colored flowers you can think
Of. and she called them her children.
The old lady loved them dearly and
gave them the best Of care.
She had plenty to eat in the summer
when the vegetables grew In the gar
den. but when the winter came It was
very hard for the OLE lady to get
enough to eat.
One night when the wind was blow
ing around her little house, she sat be-
fore the fire wondering what she would
eat the next day. for all the food was
gone. "If only had my flower chill
dren to look at" she said. that would
be some comfort, but they are asleep
under the cold ground and will not
show me their smiling faces until
spring" e
Suddenly the door opened and lit

Game farming is urged by those In
