St. Joseph was the scene this week
Of two very happy weddings, both
being performed by our urbane and
gracious Justice of Peace, Maj. E. F.
Newell, who has had so much prac-
tice in the delightful are of tying
the matrimonial knot during his long
incumbency of office that he has at
tanned degree of skill seldom
reached by any contemporary. To ex-
press it briefly: as a marrying Magis-
trate the Major is in class to him
self, as has been so happily evidenced
by the many love-lorn couples, from
far and near, that have appealed to
him to eliminate the joy Of life for
them at Hymen's golden altar, on
which blithsome occasions the happi-
ness of the Magistrate is second only
to that Of the high contracting
parties whom he thus embarks in one
canoe, and smilingly bids adieu as
they joyfully begin their voyage down
the stream of time. 1t has been said
that the world loves lover, and
certainly nobody is happier to con-
tribute to the joys of those upon
whom Venus, the Goddess of Love,
has bestowed her favors than our
very kind and benevolent Magistrate,
Major Newell. who f-iphtful1v he-
lieves that marriage is the happy
elimination Of love and that true
love is to friendships uncbnsuming
as the burning rays of the
MONDAY sun compared to the mel
low light of the harvestmoon! Young
ladies and gentlemen, you who now
only see the roseste beauty Of Loves
Young Dream, call Major Newell, he
can always be found at the Court
House,

THE CRADLE OF KNOWLEDGE

Our public schools are the cradle
of knowledge for this parish. They
might well be termed the incubator
of progress and achievement.
Have you been over lately to see
how your children are progressing?
Have you paused long enough to
let the teachers know that you are
interested in the good works they are
doing toward the educational and
moral advancement of your boy OF
girl?
Have you given them any encour-
agement whatever?
II the sheriff, or the mayor, OF
fanny other official. does a good piece
of work we tell him so-just as we
roast him if he falls down on his
job. He expects both, and he gets
whichever is coming to him, anyhow
the roasting.
If the teacher displeases Us IN any
way we are quick to censure. Some
times we make a big noise.
But day after day our teachers
are doing good work-excellent work
and we take it simply as a matter
OF course, as something that is COM
ing to us. We neglect to extend the
commentator that is their due.
We do not speak for the teachers,
but we feel that they would welcome
visits from the parents Of the com.
munity, or from any interested citi-
zen. Certainly such visits would be
pleasing and encouraging to the child
rem.
In few years the destinies of this
parish will be in the hands Of these
children. The greatest heritage we
can leave them, the one which will
best fit them for meeting the intri-
cate problems Of life,. is an adequate
education.
/ The public school is the greatest
asset Of our national life today. It
Finculcates in the Juvenile mind a
respect and veneration for all that
is upright, just and humane, and
paves the pathway Of life with that
knowledge and understanding which
is necessary to a successful and hon.
orable career.
Recognition is little thing to give,
but its potentialities are great, both
as regards the teacher and the pupil.
Why not?.

WOODROW WILSON DAY.

1t was a very pretty sight last
Friday afternoon to see the hundred
pupils of the st. Joseph High Schoo;
and their teachers marching down our
streets. 1t was soon learno,l that they
were going to the little Palace of
Art, that has recently been erected
by that public spirited and philan-
thropic citizen, Mr.. L. Blackman, in
our town, a veritable thing If beau
ty," which, we hope, is to be for us a
"joy forever" The purpose of the
marching was to observe Woodrow
Wilson Day" and to give most in
teresting entertainment consisting
Of patriotic singing, appropriate
poems, and the reading Of selections
from Mr.. Wilson'S speeches and mes
sages to congress. The program had
been arranged by the State Depa-t-
ment of Education and was well
rendered by the pupils, the enthusi-
astic singing by all the children be-
ing especially enjoyable. Mr.. McLain
added to the success of the occasion
by giving brief talk on Mr.. VII
son and his great work, which was
appreciated.
A free-will offering was taken by
Elaine Levy, Malquin Schauf, Joseph
Whitaker and Vernon Ratcliff for
the purpose of establishing the Wood
row Wilson Foundation, which will
perpetuate the memory of the great
man and be blessing and inspiration
to mankind forever. Eight dollars
and seventy six cents were contrib
uted by those present and St. Jo-
seph High Schol did its part in this,
as it does in every worthy cause
that is presented to the schools.
Prof. Hendon thanked the manage
ment Of the theatre for the free
use of the beautiful hall and ex-
pressed the hope that many similar
meetings would be held in it and
that it might become a useful COM
center.

At very early hour on Sunday
morning fire destroyed the gin on
"Duckpond" plantation, below St.
Joseph, in which was being housed
great quantity of hay and corn. 1t is
not known just how the fire started
but supposed that stragglers had
gotten into the building to sleep on
the hay and the cigarette or pipe
did the work. 1t is expected that the
loss of corn and hay alone will total
perhaps $4,000, while the building it.
self was of considerable value. Just
what insurance if any was carried
we do not know.
