RIDERS FOR THREE GENERA
TTONS
The Famous Orton Family


To the manor born certainly ap-
plies to the renowned 0rton family
of riders. For three generations
they have held the worlds cham
pionship for equestrianism, ex-
tending back for three quarters Of
century.
The present Orton family, now
with Robinson's Famous Shows,
were literally born upon horseback.
Riding from infancy, taught by
their distinguished parents, they
were perfect at ten years of age,
when they were sent to school for
their education. During their col
lege years they kept up their prac-
tice daily, which not only preserved
their skill, but aided them in ae-
quiring physical perfection. The
wonderful ease and grace, the dash
and daring of their riding, is thus
accounted for. They will be seen
at every performance of Robinson's
Famous Shows, at Opelousas on
Saturday, April ist.

IN MEMORY OF DIM. JR,

As loved ones,their silent vigil kept
Around the dying bed,
The Angel came, an Baby slept,
For Baby's soul had fled"
His little form of waxen clay,
Still lay before them all,
But Baby's soul had floWl away,
And triumphed over all.
That precious soul will never die,
But live on, and on, and on;
In that bright home, beyond the sky,
With Christ the Blessed One,
/ know twas hard to give him up,
And see him pass away,
Hard, hard to drain the bitter cup,
Twas handed you that day.
Grieve not for him,oh parents, dear
Your baby, is now at rest.
In that bright home of ''Over-there'
Redeemed among tle blest.
Fair as the lily by his side,
Was Baby waxen brow,
Ny heart did ache, my spirit cried,
'0h jesus help them now
But "all things work together for
good,
To those who love the Lord,
You love Him, that is understood,
So trust His Holy Word.
The Angel will come again, some day
Will you be ready then,
To leave your temple made of clay,
And go to meet p. M
Hes safe in tae arms O. Jesua,
Safe on His gentle breast,
There by His love Ger shaded,
sweetly his soul will rest.

forces will have been effectively

Mayor Edward L. Loeb is Of the
opinion that Opelousas should own
its park, and acting accordingly is
preparing to submit plan to the
city council at some future date,
whereby a public park could be
erected and maintained here.
7 believe that the people of
Opelousas will agree with me- said
Mayor Loeb that public park is
much in demand here; it would be
a great addition to our prosperous
and progressive city. 1t is my plan
to urge the city council to adopt
a measure, whereby we can estab-
lish a public park, where our citi-
zens could assemble during the sum
mer and enjoy themselves. | fur
ther believe that Ills park can be
made self-sustaining.
Nearly all of the Louisiana cities
In the class of Opelousas are main
tanning public parks with success
and it is believed that the park pro-
posed by Mayor Loeb will equal
any place of its kind in the smaller
cities of this state.
Opelousas has grown to such an
extent that it is time for its cit
izens to see about establishing sush
things as parks, where the grown

Hon. Edward B. Dubuiss0n, who
,,,as nominated by the New Orleans
eonyention Of Parkerites, as candi-
date for attorney general of Louisi-
sana ana has formally withdrawn from
The race, since the law prevents any
one participating in primary to
he a candidate at the general elect
ion in another party.
It is said that Mr.. Dubuisson had
rendered his resignation to the Par
ker headquarters as early as Febru-
arv 3rd, the day after his arrival
from the New Orleans convention,
when he discovered that he was not
malified to make the race. But the
parkerites withheld this as a secret
until last week, when it was made
known that there would be no can
s,idate on the Parker side for attor-
ney general.
The withdrawal Of Mr.. Dubuisson
is regarded as serious blow to the
Parker cause, as he was expected
10 bolster the Independent party
considerably, as the well known
Opelousas lawyer is regarded as
one Of the ablest men in this state
Mr.. Dubuisson has taken an act
i've interest in the Parker campaign
since the New Orleans convention
but it was noticed that he made no
appeal for his candidacy. Being a
modest gentleman it was naturally
assumed that Mr.. Dubuisson had
submitted his name as candidate
against Judge A. v.Coco, Of Avoy-
eles, only to aid the Parker cause.
But all this time it had been de-
finately decided the Parker lead
sers would put out no candidate for
attorney general, since it had been
found that election laws Of Louis
lana disqualified the Opelousas at
torney.
II is understood that Mr.. Dubuis-'
son viii continue to take an act
i've part in the Parker campaign,
respectfully in st. Landry.
