TEE PARISH FAIR.

"'. Tammany parish should be prouder than ever of her. fair, not simplyb:y•t ason of the great improvement made in some departments, but es-

'I itilIy because of the exhibition of a spirit of co-operation by the -armer:'P the citizens of other towns than Covington. The fair is' held in Coy-

ipOn, because being the parish seat it is the proper place for it to belhbld, yet this fact has always been an especial incentive for active interest.f *the t4otit•nes et Co~ington; buit the work of the citizens of other town,S'iladuced by. spirit of pride in the attainments of the parish as' p,w hole, which is .the only` spirit that will be effective in the accompligh-enat of great things for the parish, Mandeville, Madisonville and Abite

Springs have exhibited4 this 'spliit in a marked degree. They have putforth their efforts not so much'in a spirit of competition as with a desireto lend their aid to the progress of the parish and the success of the parish-SI# Their booths hboied that they have reason to be proud of their•mPlDlhments'in domestic art and in the achievement of those thing-

that give distinction to the American home and the American womanCo- eraticn of this kind will enable us soon to establish a permanen,,"fair UpcIation and provide the equipment that is necessary to give pro-teetion f the hfgh class of stock and' poultry that is on exhibition .on suchoccasielne.

There is ever.'reason to be proud of the success of the fair in the faceof trying eircumstanet. The Agricultural Department is especially notice-able for the great improvement over last year. The Poultry Departmentwas even better and there" were some fine stodk exhibits. The outlook isfor a sil1 better fair next year. We can have it, if the whole parish,will work for it.

But right now, at the close of the fair, let us make up our minds tha'no dissatisfaction- shall be bre- b3 those who have in any way been di- -appointed in the decision c't the' judges or by fancied disctimination of57 kI1tnd8 Remember, while judgez are not infallible and may make mis-

trkes ad times• that they .re dependent upon their own judgment and:t telected be~slsa that judgment' has usually proven good. Every m'$-Ei thy lua ke hurts hi,. .~.l is avoided if possible. So, it there arc

, 'wo hare disappointed, forget 'it. Get together and work for the suc-e:0se of the next fair, and sharo in the pride in this one.

SA GOOD'TRING, IF WE CAN GEl' IT. F

"i.:. i the 0overament dredge boat fl:st commenced to unload sand fromti•- slier bottom onto the private property of Mr. Pulley we thought whata 4g6d'thipg that was for Mr. Aulles . but we also thought; what a good'

'i . •U d bi) for tbe improvemnl .he Ergue Fal 4. Park, which SSi• fS•illing in and which is public property and the only place open h. o i hbjiia: c and to the women and children seeking fresh air il the open. F

e t are cbhveniences for rest and amusement. So the matterp up and a suggestion made that it would be easier to dump this

sand;ipto the park after.a certain point was reached. We understand that ca'proia~ e wUas ade to do this, and we feel sure, if the captain understood Lthe justiee of this request and the great benefit he would be conferring.; ph the citizeps of 6ov~ngton, that he would give orders to that effect."i'; "Bettthere will be little time in which to do this, if the dredge is to be-

I 'he but a few days, as stated. Therefore citizens express some anxiety a,o~ we may not get the benefit of th'r opportunity to add to the 'mprove-

of the park.

THE VALUE OF VITAL STATISTICS.

i has been preached for years that St. Tammany parish was the health-sal atd of land in the United States bnd that Covington was the second aii it s town, the first place being given to a town in Michigan. Origi. Iii this assertion was based cn some authority issued by the United

e. Govyernment. Probably it was made during an investigation of ES kind incidental to other work. At all events, if it is on the records G

i: the Government it does not seem to be handy where it can be reache4 SIp rtie~p interested in substantiating this statement have written tc

!IsIrgtoga for information and have received the reply that Louisiana i: Lese t the States that is not able to furnish the vital statistics of its towns doi4 •'that therefore there la nosrecord by which such a statement can be P

I,:i' s a lesson that -should be learped with profit. Dr. Dowling ha: H-awdtkeld hard to get the towns of the State to establish a registry of births

• e'•d deaths. The importance of the matter has been discussed in- theprme. of the State, and municipalities and the police juries of the parishe

Ihasb ~e asked to institute such a registry. The physicians of the StateTa.v bsn- appealed to to see that every birth, and every death is reported to

: l4 |aW upholds and provides for the carrying out of the system-but#•t~hpt suceeees? , Certainly none to speak of. L.

2 tf.n•p•any parish and its towns have much at stake in the correct S", fqf 0• it births and deaths. There is no doubt of its great health-

t*I~ but what's the u:e, f we can't prove it? By, all means let us sec

4• cannuot have a registry that will prove what we claim-that St. Tam-

.p•niparish 's the healthiest place on the globe. ,

: SCHOOL 'NOTES.

The entertainment given Saturdaynight,.October 18, for the benefit ofthe Folsom graded school proved tcbe a very successful affair.

The students deserve much praisefor the interest they manifested irthe parts'they were asked to take onthe program and for successfully renlering same•,.

Our teachers feel that they havcstudents that are going to makethings count this year..

Mi:sses Myrtle Wallis and LucyVerger are due much credit for thepart. they took spi the program.

A CARD.Editor SL Tammany Farmer:

-Havling the support of the patronaof the public school at Folsom, theyenmission of Supt. Lyon was -obtain-Ad to open a private school after :he

!nbbhc ;ichool .closed. I was th..,a',her at that -chool, and in fIll

i''_ c.ation of.the doncession made.S;-_n ihe closing of my school I; had_,,ol house .thoroughly cleaned and

locked the doors, leaving everythini:n ,:erfect order. I can furnish' witne•e to this fact. I,suppcse the d&citlere beaten down and torn to pie.es•;

by som• e very bad boys who do thostkind of things, but the teacher, is in-.no:cnt and blameless.

It 4 parents would look after thexichildren and teach' them to look botl-

better men and women and les ofthis kind of work. I want the puh-lie to know that I have been aecotr•-tomed to teaching school and 'would-not do such a foolish thing a3 tUleave the building with open doors.- -
