OF our good men and women and we re
gret to announce again that several NOR
OF our good people are to leave us TO
other fields of labor.
Mr.. w. c. Jordon, who for the pas
five years has served so efficiently as prin
cipal of the st. Joseph High School, ha
rendered his resignation to Supt. Wade
| to accept much better position Offered
him as principal OF the City High Schoo
at Conshatta, in Red River parish. Thil
school, we understand, has all enrolment
Of over 400 pupils with about dozer
teachers. The salary offered Mr.. Jordor
isseveral hundred dollars more that he re-
ceived here, but so great was the desire Of
the patrons of the st. Joseph High Schoo
to retain his valuable services that a sum
equal to the difference offered him al
Coushatta was made mp by popular SUBJ
scription as an inducement for him to re-
main with us This compliment to Mr..
Jordon's efficiency and popularity is deep
ly appreciated by him, but upon mature
consideration he deemed it best to make
the change. Mr.. Jordon is still a young
man, with his future before him, and al
ter thinking the matter over carefully
concluded best to 90 to larger territory
where broader field would be offered for
the display of his talents and ability with
greater opportunity for promotion. In
Mr.. Jordon are happily blended the three
cardinal virtues that make for success
youth, ability and ambition, and armed
with such weapons he is sure to make his
mark. While we regret to lose Mr.. Jor-
don as citizen of our parish and resi-
dent of our town, and especially his val
liable services from our educational sys-
tenn, which has so greatly improved dur
ing his administration, we cannot con-
scientiously ask him to remain longer with
Us when his continued residence here
would only tend to defer to longer Pc
rod his chances to rise further in the
honored and very useful profession in
which he has already attained prominence.
BIT in leaving us he and his excellent FAM
lily carry with them the good wishes OF our
entire people, and we take pleasure in
commencing them to the good graces OF
those with whom they may cast their lot.
Another good man to leave us is DR..
II. S. Trice, the popular young physic-
ian, who expects to specialize in skin and
cancer diseases and will ultimately locate
in some large city. DR.. Trice leaves St.
Joseph about June Goth for st. Louis,
where he will enter the Bernard. Free Skin
and Cancer Hospital for a l2-month
course, making a specially OF these dis
eases. He has not fully determined just
where he will locate but may go either to
New York or Philadelphia.
DR.. Trice has been with us now for six
years and has "made good" as the term
goes. He is very bright young man,
close student and indefatigable worker,
and has never been known to give mp the
fight az long as there is sign of life in his
patient. Positive and persistent he has
forged to the front by the force Of his own
'hility and to-day enjoys enviable place
in front rank among the leading practi-
TONERS Of this section of our State. A
m ,dest Gentleman, affable in manners,
kindly nature and generous disposition,
he is every inch man, and in his re-
moval from us we lose a good citizen, a
rood physician and an excellent gentle
man. The social circles, where he is a rec
,nized ..favorite, will also miss him great
". Since his residence with us no enter
tainment has been complete without him
and he possesses the entire, into every
home in our parish. In leaving ne his
hardest fight will be in bidding alden tC
the many warm friends he has made
among our people, and the memory o.
these friendships will accompany him
wherever he may cast anchor. Onr peo'
Pile are a unit in wishing him God-speed
and firmly expect to see him rise i'll hi'
chosen field of endeavOr.
Mrs. Berta B. Young, with her dangh
ter, Miss May Young, will leave soon fol
Knoxville, Tenn. where she has accept
ed position as one of the matrons il
the University of Tennessee. As we un
derstand the position is permanent il
nature and Mrs. Young will he located
in that city in future. She will make oc
casional trips home to visit her mothe
and other relatives and to see our people
all of whom are close friends of life-tim
acquaintance, and who will be unani
nous in expressions of regret at her ant
her daughters leaving, but will wish bot
happiness and comfort i'm their new home
The change is made not without regre
hy both mother and daughter, but whe
one considers the limited field st. Josep
offers to our youth it can be readily see
why fond mother will sacrifice even tn
ties of home and friends that greater or
portunity for culture and improvement
can be given those in whose future he
hopes are blended and to whom she mu!
look for joy and comfort in the evenin
of her own life. Mrs. Young has hel
this position before, during summer term
when overtures were made her to RENAL
permanently, but impelled by greater dui
. to remain longer with her family she n
luctantly declined and which resolutio
