Proud ot His P™spects
Louis Pierre was one of a num-
ber of Canadian i mm i gra nts who
settled as Fitzgerald, Ga. As he
spoke both French and English
he rapidly became a man of im¬
portance and was successively
elected to the offices of city mar¬
shal, coroner and justice of the
peace. A dispute arose between
the French and English settlers as
to the superiority of the United
States over the Canadian provinces.
They finally agreed to leave the
decision to Judge Pierre, who
handed down this decision:
“Yoost tage a loog at me. Feist
dey mage meconstabul, den coron¬
er, und now jootis of de pees.
Soon I be ze govenir, den senator,
den president. I would be ze loDg
time in Canadaire ’fore dey mage
