NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.

The rumor seemingly having gone
over the parish that it has been my
intention to leave ST. Joseph and move
to Mississippi, take this method Of
contradicting that report. 1t is my in
tention to remain in st. Joseph, where
| have lived so long and pleasantly.

the entire population of the parish
and have worked, since my locating
in Tensas, for practically every body
having a home in the parish. My
family was forced to leave St. Joseph
because of being unable to get house
to live in, but / have been here con-
stantly, and it is my purpose to move
my family back to ST. Joseph when
ever | can find a house for them. In
the meantime take this opportunity
to thank my friends and patrons for
their long patronage and hope to
merit their further confidence. can

The past week marked the closing
of the public schools at Newellton, st.
Joseph and Waterproof and the end
ing of one of the most successful years
in the educational work of the parish.
Each of the high schools of the parish
rendered most fitting programs, which
were well prepared and admirably ex-
ecuted, displaying histrionic talent of
no mean variety on the part of all the
pupils and careful training by the fac
ulties.
The Waterproof High School had
two graduates, Messrs. Aust Davide
and Frank Massony, Jr., the former
delivering the valedctory and the
latter the salutatory address.
st. Joseph High School had three
graduates, Miss Grace WorreIl and
Mr.. Winbourne Drake, each of whom
read most interesting and instructive
essay; and Mr.. Alexander Blackman,
who rendered piano solo i'm an ex-
cellent manner.
The Newelton High School had two
graduates, Misses Audrey Everingham
and Josie Gordon.
Each school delivered certificates of
promotion. to pupils of the various
grammar grades who passed final ex-
aminations.
Taken as whole the closing exer-
cises of the three high schools were
most credtabIe alike to teachers and
pupils and evidence the most salts
factory work for the session.
Hon. Sol. p. Mccall, of the Con-
servation Commission, New Orleans,
made an address at each of the towns.
1t was not our good fortune to hear
him at either Waterproof or Newell
ton, but the effort he made at st. Jo
seph was unquestionably the greatest
and most eloquent that has been heard
in the Court House since the begin
ming of the present war. Mr.. Mccall
is truly an orator and his Impeachment
OF the Kaiser was about as scathing as
the English language could express,
while his eulogy of President Wilson
was beautiful and patriotic. His re-
marks were frequently interrupted by
applause, while on several occasions
the audience could scarcely restrain
itself and hand-clapping was inter
spersed with cries and cheers, while
men almost rose from their seats as
the speaker depicted the horrors of
rapine, famine ard murder committed
by the Huns. 1t is indeed unfortunate
that his address could not be reported
verbatim, as it would furnish excel
lent literature for future Liberty Loan
drives

lover The TOP" WITH EMPEY.

Readers of The Gazette will be glad
to know that we have secured the
publication rights of this territory
to COVER THE TOP", the most famous
war story that has ever been written
by the most famous war writer of the
day. The first instalIment will appear
within a short time. Arthur Guy
Empey, the author of "Over the Top"
is an American boy who, fired by the
tragedy o! the Lusitania, got into the
world war two years ahead of his
countrymeD. For seventeen months,
until he fell desperately wounded in
"NO Mans Land" he saw more actual
fighting than any other man that has
written about the war. His stories
of the horrors, thrills, humor and com
-adship of the trenches have not been
approached in interest by any other
writer. Watch for the opening install
ment of this story in The Gazette.
