every parish. AT Lake Charles he
delivered the address to the grad
lating class of the high school, a
class of t"enty-eight. The clos
ing exercises were witnessed by a
large audience, among them being
six of the first graduates of the
school in 1896. The American
Press has the following synopsis
of Mr.. breazeaIe's speech
Rev. G. B. Hines gave the invoca-
tion and the orchestra played another
number, and Mr.. Yeager introduced
the speaker of the evening, Hon. Pha-
nor Breszeale, of Natchitoches. In his in
PRODUCTION. Mr.. Yeager said eff / were
introducing our distinguished visitor
to an audience of school children only,
all l would have to say would be to tell
them it was Miss Mays brother, be-
cause all the children know and love
Miss May.
"1f l were addressing an audience of
adults, l would say that Hon. Phanor
Breazeale, former congressman from
the Eighth district, is too well known
to need introduction. Everyone who
keeps informed on Louisiana affairs
knows Mr.. Breazeale, and perhaps a
little later can introduce him as-well,
you all know what l mean, so will
just introduce to you Hon. Phanor
Breazeale, the friend of the public
schools"
Mr.. Breazeale acknowledged his in
production with few appropriate re-
marks, and said that during the past
years his visits to Lake Charles had
been entirly too infrequent to suit him.
He had visited his sister and he wished
to Thank the people of Lake Charles
for their courtesies to her and to assure
them that they had a yery warm place
in his heart.
