IN THE OVERWHELMING SORROW that
L came to me when my only SON. A. f
Ayme, Jr., was smitten with death in The
bloom of youth and the joy of living, was
almost unconscious of any influence save that
which pressed upon my heart-the woeful
TACT OF the empty chair and the vacant place.
Today, as look back upon the fatefu hour
and recall the many expressions of sympathy
and the numerous kindnesses extended my
stricken heart is warm with gratitude to-
ward each and every who displayed such
thoughtful consideration on this sad occa-
sion. wish to thank the good people of
Donaldsonville, the Red Men. Vigilant Hose
Company, Junior class of the high school,
and in particular the Misses Comeaux for
their comforting aid and soulful sympathy
as manifested in word and deed during the
dark hour of my tribulation Although such
devoted friendship cannot efface the sad
sad memories that fnger in the heart and
mind, it brings ray of sunshine into a
darkened home and helps to tighten the bur-
den of grief have been called upon to bear.
Respectfully, A. E. AYME.

r. N. Sims Residence Ransacked.

In the absence of the inmates, all
of whom were in New Orleans at the
time, the R.. N. Sims residence in
Chetimaches street was broken into
Thursday night and ransacked from
top to bottom, but so far as is known
at present nothing of value was taken.
Every room in the dwelling was en-
tered by the nocturnal proWler, and
the contents of desks, armoirs, cup
boards and other receptacles were dis
turbed, the intruder obtaining light
for his nefarious Investigations by
striking matches, remnants of which
were found in quantities all over the
house. An axe belonging on the
premises was found on a lounge in
the drawing room. Entrance to the
building was effected by forcing open
a rear window, and discovery of the
depreciation was made the following
morning when a neighbor noticed this
window open and informed relative
of the family. It is assumed that the
thief was in search of money or jew
elry, since other articles Of value were
not carried away. The local auth
critics are working on the case.

School Fund Apportioned.

The regular February apportionment
of the current school fund was made
last week by the state department of
education, a total of S731,841.18 be
ing disbursed. There are 536,119
children Of educable age in Louisiana
under the census compiled during the
past year, hence the per capita al
lowance for the present quarter is
S1.36. The amount apportioned this
February is $329.32 greater than that
distributed in February Of 1915, but
the allotment per child is three cents
less, since there are 1851 more chill
dren to participate in the apportion-
ment this quarter than during the
same period year ago. Ascension's
share Of the fund was s9549.92.
