Broad Statements
We have made some pretty broad state­
ments in our advertising, concerning
our shoes. If they aren’t true the
public aught to know it; if they are
true the public should know this, also.
There’s only one way to find out. Come
in and buy a pair. We are willing to
leave the truth of our claims to your
own individual experience.

MRS. J. C. GAYNOR, Proprietor
Looking over a copy of the
Itemizer the other day, bearing
date of May 1. 1875, we came
upon a school report from La
i Creole academy for the half term
! of that year, which ended April
j 16th. In the three grades we
i came upon so many familiar
' names that we thought it would
| be of interest for repubiication.
Many of those mentioned are
yet in our midst, but some have
gone to their last rest, while oth­
ers have changed residence. Ttte
Itemizer would take it as a favor
if someone can tell us what has
become of all on the list In the
first grade was published those

the second grade 85 and the

Ed Casey was running the
Itemizer, and this is the way he
speaks of an itinerant songstress:
“ Mattie Gaylord warbled and
spouted to our citizens last Fri­
day night Mattie’s husband
ought to be a happy man, if re­
port sayeth truly, “Ye thing of
beauty is a joy forever.” Don’t
blush Mattie, and don’t you get
your back elevated Gaylord, as
we have no idea of running off
with you or Mattie either.”
