in MEMORIAM.
Mrs. Leon Levi.

| Last Sunday morning, Dec. 2, after
beautifully useful and sweetly I'M
assuming life, Mrs. Leon Levi peace
fully surrendered her pure soul to
God.
Mrs. Levi exemplifed in every act
the highest type of noble womanhood,
and her true christian life that was
founded upon that sweetest of all viz
tues, charity-in the true and grand
est acceptation of the term; charity
of heart, of soul, of speech; the char
tity that saw no evil, thought and spoke
none; the charity that was ever seek
ing for the best in others-was a
| benediction and an inspiration to all
| who knew her.
During her protracted illness she
| received the administrations of the
faithful pastor of her church, and Of
the most skilled physicians; was ten
derby nursed by kind and capable
hands, while ner devoted husband,
beloved mother, sisters, brother and
friends lavished every attention pos
sible.
To her, death came not as the
Grim Reaper" but as sweet,
soothing angel that bore her spirit
gently away to the beautiful life
eternal.
Her body wrapped in it's snowy
robe, her lovely face in the purity of
its exquisite whiteness, with the
sweet expression of peaceful tranquil
ity that rested there, was fit emblem
of the beautiful, purified soul that had
taken its flight to its Maker.
Her death was a shock to her many
friends, who, with numerous and beau
tiful floral offerings, came from town
and country to assist with the last
sad rites; but her family knew in the
beginning of her illness that her
malady was fatal-knew that she was
lowering on and would soon cross
over the great borderland of eternity |
knew that she loved, too well, the |
happy life given her to enjoy, to re-
joice in her untimely loss of it, so
they for that reason purposly with |
held from her the cruel knowledge.
Her life was happy because she
reveled in the goodness and beauty of
the world; the world that her pres
ence made better and brighter; the
beautiful world that God gave for
her to love, to enjoy and improve, be-
cause she loved her fellow friend
whose respect and confidence she had
gained; loved the innocent prattle of
little children and the joyous songs
and happy laughter of impulsive
youth, and her world loved her.
Her remains were gently borne to
their last resting place by her beloved
brother, George H. Richard; her
fond nephews, Hubert and Sammy
Richard and Joe Blum; and her two
orothers-in-law, J. E. Blum and Jas.
Barman.
: Mrs. Levi is survived by her hus-
band, her mother, Mrs. Armand Ri
,hard, one brother and three sisters,
Mrs. J. E. Blum, Mrs. Joseph La
fargue and Mrs. James Barman, all
IF Donaldsonville.
Her life closed sweetly and as quiet g
y beautiful as golden sunset with j
infinite hope, infinite courage, in {
mite love for God and her neighbor. /
A FRIEND.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

AS to Teachers Salaries.


Donaldsonville, La, Dec. 5, 1917.
Editor Chief:
There seems to be lot of news
paper talk about the salaries of teach
ers, and T. Fl. Harris, the state super
intendent of education, says that
teachers are working only for their
board, and that if their salaries are
not raised there will soon be STAN
pede of teachers to other professions
or lines of business, which offer better
pay.
Now, am not from Missouri, but l
am taxpayer of Ascension parish
and | have to be shown why my taxes
should be increased in order that the
salaries of teachers should be raised.
I notice that all the teachers / have
seen seem to be able to dress well-in
fact better than my family-that they
all look well-fed, travel about good
deal, and in general have a compare
lively easy time, as they teach school
only from 9 o'clock in the morning
until 8 or a in the afternoon, with
nothing to do on Saturdays or Sun
days, and with three or four months
vacation during the summer.
They are paid from $55 per month
up, which is at the rate of more than
$3.50 per day at the least. My
daughter works in ar-office from 8
o'clock in the morning until 6 o'clock
in the evening, including Saturdays,
and gets only $50 per month, which
is less than So per day, and nothing
is being said about the low salaries of
the poor clerks. Besides, am not
taxed to help pay the salaries of the
clerks, as l am in the case of the
salaries of the teachers.
1t seems to me there is a lot of
needless sympathy wasted on the
poor teachers"
Yours respectfully,
A TAXPAYER.
