We learn that a rule of the High School is that pupils who arrive after the ringing of the bell are not permitted to enter the school during the whole of that day. And it happen that children from the country who are late have to remain on the streets until they are sent for in the evening. It seems to us that that is a wrong system and deprive the cbildren of a days schooling and allow them to roam

Fine Home Destroyed.

Sunday night, the home of Mr. George Eastin was destroyed by fire and the destruction was complete, the home burning to the ground and nothing of the fine furnishing of the house was saved. This home, perhaps the finest in town, had beautiful grounds, well kept, was burned in about an hour, Mr. Eastin and Mr. Auguste Guirard were in the house, and when they discovered the fire, it was too late for them to save even their clothes as the fire with its headway already made, wrapped the house with furious flames and in a short while this beautiful building was a mass cf ruin. It was with hard work that the other buildings around could be saved as the heat from this large fire endangered the other buildings around. The loss of the building and contents was about $10,000 with insurance amounting to $3.500.

Meeting Sunday.
The Fourth Liberty Loan meet. ing held here last Sunday at the Bienvenu Opera House, was well attended, but it would have been of much more good to all the people of the parish it they could have been present to hear the fine ad-

dresses that were made by Hon.

Walter J. Burke, Judge Julian Mouton and Hon. Donelson Caffery, they all made addresses portraying the condition that exist over the sea and appealing to the people at home to do their share in this great war, in order that our soldiers and nurses on the firing lines be supplied with everything that they need. All three speakers made masterly addresses. Do not allow anything to stand in the way of planting an oat crop this fall or planting it at the proper time, advises W. R. Perkins,
