st. Joseph, La, July 9th, 1916.
PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given that
/ will conduct an examination for white
teachers in the School Board Office in the
Court House on the oath, 18th and 10Th
insts. Teachers are requested to report
promptly on the first day at Q O'Clock
with examination or l4gal cap paper and
pen and ink. The usual fee will he col
lected and forwarded to the State Exam
lining Committee. Teachers are requested
not to bring any text or memorandum
books into the examination room.
Examination for colored teachers will
be conducted in the colored school house
on the 27th, 28th and Goth insts.
On the first day the examination will
begin at $3.50 in the morning.
The law just passed by the Legislature
provides that first grade certificates may
be extended after their expiration but
not 90 with second grade certificates. If
there are any teachers in the parish that
bold second grade certificates that
are about to expire it would be well for
them to take this examination, as they
cannot be extended AZ under the old law.

There was time when the woman of
extremely reserved ideas was regarded as
the right type, but the world to-day has
swung so far away from all that is NOR
bid or prudish that this type has been
pushed aside and now it is the athletic
girl, the girl OF sunshine and laughter,
the woman of sane thinking that finds
welcome wherever she goes.
That we approve of this spirit Of outdoor
life, giving expression to itself just now in
aquatic sports, is attested by the large at
tendance at the lake every afternoon
when our social set, charmed with this
particular kind of entertainment, gather
for their swimming contests.
A wonderfully fascinating place is this
beautiful lake, with its surface filled with
the merry crowd, or at sunset when the
majestic leaf-crowned oaks, draped in
their long pendent OF soft grey moss, are
solemnly, silently casting their weird
shadows upon the waters and upon those
who rest beneath their branches, or
away beyond the shadows where the last
ray of the setting sun buries its golden
shafts in the violet blue of the waters, all
aquiver with the motion of some invisible
power. Here you may drag the net of
fancy and bring up curious legends, for
looking down into the deep blue waters
one may see the real nymphs and mer-
maids of whom in childhood days we read
Of with bated breath, and in imagination
bring them back to act again their parts
within these limits. Then, the meaning
Of tomorrow was quite different thing;
for all time in the twilight, those tall
trees whisper Of her, who in olden times
played in the moon-beams the whole
night long.
The days of the mermaid are gone but
they have left their silver touch on the
waters and at night when all the world is
hushed and the stars make long rays
downward to have look at such loviness,
their spirits slide down on the moon
beams in their long gray robes and sit in
royal state in the silence broken only by
soft swish of wings as some startled bird
flies over the waters or the wind sobs
softly their requim.

THIRD QUARTERLY CONFERENCE.

The Third Quarterly Conference for the
Waterproof Circuit, Monroe District,
Louisiana Conference will be held at
Wesley Chapel, Aug. Sc.
By w. r. BAKER.
The revival services were begun at
Waterproof this week. The Rev.
Geo. Fox, pastor, being assisted by
the Rev. H. T. Carley, Dean of Gen.
tenary College, Shreveport, who is
doing the preaching. We understand
a series of revival services will begin
at st. Joseph in August, when Mr..
Fox will be assisted by Rev. A. 8.
Lutz, Presiding Elder of this district.
Further announcement will be made
as plans materialize.
Rev. Geo. Fox conducted service at
st. Joseph last Sunday morning. The
night sermon, by invitation of Mr..
Fox, was delivered by the Rev. H. 8.
Johns, chaplain. of the Louisiana pen
itentiary, who was on visit to the
convict camp at Clagget. Rev. Johns
is member of the Louisiana confer
ence of the M. f. Church South, and
has held the position OF chaplain of
the Louisiana penitentiary for some
years. His duties require him to visit
Angola farm and the penitentiary
walls at Baton Rouge and all camps
throughout the State where convicts
are assembled, and where he con-
ducts religious services. Mr.. Johns
is an able preacher and very intellect
ual man and his sermon last Sunday
night was greatly enjoyed by all who
had the good fortune to hear him.
Mrs. A. E. Buelow this week re-
received the sad intelligence of the
death of her sister, Mrs. Ferdinand
Wolfe, of Bastrop, La, which oc-
CURED on Friday. Mrs. Wolfe was
about 80 years of age, and her sudden
taking in the prime of young woman
hood, when just at the threshold of
her usefulness, and when lite seemed
brightest with promises of a golden
future, is indeed sad, and the news of
her death came to our town as
shock barbed with pain and sorrow.
Truly death is a hard master; he
would take from US our brightest and
best, but happily he cannot even
mar memory. The recollection Of
this young woman's virtues will
endure in the minds of her loved ones
long aftor other memories have
dimmed. To her sister in st. Joseph
and other relatives the Gazet e tend
ers deepest sympathy.

fruitless effort to show Vandergriff the

The invaders approach New York.

In the midst of this meeting q shell
crashes through the walls of the build

out of the range of the guns of Forts
Hamilton, Hancock and Wadsworth,

Shells are devastating the buildings
in the down town district. Homes are
desecrated; citizens slain without
mercy. Terror reigns. Johns moth

is shot in the street. John is bayo-
Melted in defense of the girl he loves.
As climax to the horror, Virginia's
mother to avoid disgrace at the hands
