Hon. Riley J. Wilson, the present
incumbent from the Fifth Congress.
sional District in Congress, is again
The nominee of Il 9 Democratic par
ty without opposition. The time.
limit for the entrance OF candidates
expired Monday night, and as Mr.
Wilson was the only aspirant to file
a declaration OF candidacy from this
district, he thereby becomes the
nominee OF the party, thus insuring
his election next November.
This signal honor is merited. In
thus honoripg Mr.. Wilson the voters
of the Fifth Congressional District
honor themselves. Mr.. Wilson is
now serving his fourth consecutive
term and this is the third time he
has been nominated as the party
representative without opposition
No higher tribute could be bestowed
by political party than to nomi-
nate its standard bearers by accla-
nation, thus establishing the fact
that their services have been so ac-
ceptable and their ability so dis
tinctive as to remove the possibility
of serious opposition.
Mr.. Wilson has served the Fifth
Congressional District with signll
ability and has won the praise and
sincere commendation af all. Not
only has be devoted much energy
to promoting the best interests of
his home district, but he has given
generously OF his time and knowl-
edge in working out the problems
of tie State and of the entire Mis-
sissippi Valley. He is particularly
we'll equipped by training and incli
nation to aid materially in solving
the problems relative to agriculture
and the lcyee system so vital to the
continued prosperity OF Louisiana
and the great Mississippi Valley and
we believe the people have acted
wisely in returning him to Congress
as their representative. AS a matter
of fact, we believe there are still
greater chances in the future for Mr.
Wilson and that his ability and
worthiness will be recognized and
appreciated by the people OF the en-
tire te.---The Monroe (La.) News.

Excellent Program
Rendered

The commencement exercises of
the graduating class of 1922 of
the Coy!ngton High School were
greeted by an immense assembly Of
citizens shat packed the auditorium
and swe1ted out into the open of the
Fairgrounds, where the parked auto
mobiles were utilized as a grand
stand, people peeping over each
others heads in an effort to glimpse
something Of what was going on
inside. There was no mistaking the
interest taken in the school work nor
the pride of the parents in the ac-
complishnents of the graduates.
The occasion will pass into history
as closing the most successful term
Of the school. Youth, beauty and
intelligence, with the high average
of 94 in class of twenty, the re-
markably high tone and literary
quality Of the essays and papers read
and the poise and confidence of the
graduates won for them prolonged
and earnest applause.
The program was very pleasing
one and the music and singing were
of high order.
Mr.. Lewis L. Morgan, with evil
dent pride in the school, made very
impressive address on the opportuni-
ties offered in our publ schools for
the education of the representative
citizen and the development. of the
true American, and the warmth of
the applause that greeted his re-
marks showed that the great audi
ence was in accord with him.
The stage was artistically arrang-
ed and decorated by the juniors, un-
der the management of Mrs. Cole.
A handsome curtain covering the
wall back of the stage bore che
motto, Diligence Conquers," in sill
yer letters, adding to the rich tono
of the general effect.
~ After the exercises the members
Of the School League entertained the
graduates and their friends with a
dance at Bogue Falaya Park. The
pavilion was beautifully decorated
with pink flowers and green bamboo
and moss, the work of Mr.. John l..
Haller, Mrs. H. A. Mackie. assisted
by the Juniors. Cold drinks were
served by Mr.. and Mrs. Pfeffer, Mrs.
J. c. Burns, Mr.aP. Burns, Mr.. Reed
