1916 has been one of our best years,
but 1917 looks even better. We VII
try harder than ever tc have the very
choicest of merchandise, the unusual
kind, and at lower prices
And in the unprecedented prosperity
that seems in store for the South and
of which we hope to get our share,
this store will not forget duties to its
patrons and the community that makes
u ~.cress possible.

Natchitoches Enterprise
City
In compliance with your request to
write my views Of the conditions in this
parish, | submit the following:-
The years 1915 and 1916 have forcibly
recalled to my mind what Mr.. r. B.
Williams had often stated to me, that
''He had noticed so often, that just
when he had concluded that everything
was gone up the spout, things changed
for the better and got prosperous, that
the conclusion had been forced upon
him. that Louisiana, and Natchitoches
Parish, specially, was the most re-
sourceful spot in the world. l am con-
tident that this will be one of the rich
est sections in the country, if the pro-
per foresight and management is used,
and thereby avoiding the one crop
theory, cotton, just because the price
is the best since the war.
The recent sad and unfortunate muir
der that occurred in Webster Parish,
should recall to US that this parish has
been free from such a crime, and a
lynching has never occurred here, and
whatever the cause law abiding people,
or capable and impartial officers whose
desire is to enforce the law impartially,
we all should feel truly thankful and
pull the harder to have everyone to re-
pect the law, and fear to violate it, and
theryby obtain what is guaranteed us
by the constitutions-State and Federal
equal opportunity to pursue happiness,
peace and prosperity.
And. my wish and prophecy is that
our parish will advance materially and
stand for the better enforcement of law
and order, during 1917 and the years to
come. Respectfully,
Jan. l, 1917. W. T. CUNNINGHAM.

When the history of the State Nor
NAL School is written, 1916 will be
credited as an eventful year. Not only
has the health of the student body been
excellent, and the attendance broken
all previous records; but the standard
of work has been made more rigid and
a beginning has been made by way of
more advanced courses. Already many
students have undertaken graduate
work, and the prospects are that, the
enrolment it this department will stead
lily increase. With the establishment
of the Board of State affairs, it lis GER
tain that more adequate financial sup
port will be given the institution during
the years to come, and that gradually
the buildings will be erected the faculty
enlarged, and tho equipment increased,
whereby the service of the institution
to the State will be greatly broadened.
When the State Normal is receiving
the appropriation which efficient service
requires, the annual enrolment will be
40O0 instead of 1000, as at present. My
hope is that 1917 will see substantial
portion of the aspirations Of the institu-
ton realized.

When soon an Ant there came along,

And as it came it sang a song,
The words of which were these:
The Moon is shining on the lea,
His nose is like Il pear,
lie likes potato in his tea
And mustard in his hair;
And yet these little things to me
Are neither here nor there"
"1ouVc made me very happy though

The Uncle said. Il thank you so,
Please have some custard pie"
The Ant replied, II thank you, No"

This happened very long ago,
