Last week was remarkably cold and unpleasant, Friday the ther mometer stood at 30 ° all day, ) making as low as 25 ° in the morning. e On Thursday morning the case e of State vs G. B.

Never in our editgriaj existence have we seen so many travelling clerks alias bammers, in our par ish. Not that their presence is any way disagreable, the very re verse. We wish them all success. Sewing machine agents are many through our parish, now is the time to have your own sewing c at home and cheap too., Get a sewing machine, doent delay ; they J do not cost much and before the end of the year, rest assured, that you will have saved enough of out-sewing, to pay for a sewing machine. District Court met last Monday. I The Judge and District Attorney, were in time, even before hand, L arriving on Sunday P. M., early. The Grand Jury was duly organ- is ized and enlightened as to its duties, by a short but lucid and cogent charge by the Court, sev eral cases of some importance P' were fixed for this week, and the ol docket now slim bids fair to dwin- j, dle to nought. M On Monday evening Abbeville it was favored with a lecture on Le Education by Col. Win. Mouton. The audience was slim but select. The subject was treated in master. ly manner, and never have we t neard the advantages and necessi f ty of Education, set forth in more n forcible and eloquent language. A lecture, such as he gave us on Monday, will win laurels anywhere ~ and satisfy the most fastidious. ,fl - :-- .- ° A QUERY ANSWERED.--Judge John Clegg; of the 25th Judicial District, recently convened his Court in extra session for the pur pose of disposing of a certain criminal suit. This done, and no objection being made, the Judge ordered an adjournment sine die. Nothing startling in this. But the guilty conscience of certain hench men of Judge Fontelieu's, the dere lict officer who presides over the 21st Judicial District Court, de sire to know why there is no growling or barking at the action of Judge Clegg ; and, answering the question, intimate that it is because he is a Democratic Judge. Not a bit of it. His action elici ted no cause for complaint, and the young jurist, by his strict fi delity to the performance of duty, his able and wise administration of the laws and the dignified pro ceedings of his court, has won the respect and esteem of the people and the press as well, which de lights in bestowing just and de served praise upon him-not be cause he is a Democratic Judge, but because he is a Judge in the full acception of the word. This is more than the 21st Judicial t District can boast of.-.More anon. I The majority of the good peo ple of Vermilion parish fully en- e dorse the statement contained in the above, which is copied from Iberia Sugar Bowl, in regard to Judge Clegg's "just and deserved praise" and that "not because he is a Democrat" but because lie is able, impartial, honest and has, really, at heart the best interest of a the community and because hle t has shown a fearless disposition , to put down lawlesn.ss, in any tl shape, -wherever found. t, ew Read the Police Jury proceed ings in at another column. the What as ljco o of the Br*s . . i nd.
