b~bcrilt ýýxcjn L X II EI1II 1VER1Y SA I*I I. 1 AY. ý*.. U. Aiº)K7. ..['i pri4Wor. SATURDAY. JULY 20, 1589. A farmer living near Arcadia, jienviile parish, claims 'to have planted one potato weighing I of a pound which yielded 27) pounds. Franklin has just organized a loan and building as-ociation. Why can't A bbeville do as much. One is need ed to develop the town. A little scrapping match took jl.Vce in Lafayette a few days ago h:twetn two prominent politicians. rMep rt says neither was very inuch hurt. In East Baton Rouge the police Itry sitting asa Boa30t of Reviewers ,aiscd a great many nsses cents, particularly in the cits of Baton iRougc. The Watkins, -Kansas City and 4nit Railroad have been granted 20 years exemption from taxation by the police jury of Natchitoches parish. The City Item in noting the late award of the printing contract by the Police Jury of this parish char acterizes it as "ungrateful and un lawful." So it is and we doim'>think it will stand a legal test. A Japanese bearing the simple .name Teijoia Ono, captured the high) est honors in a class of 438 students at Ann Arbor, Michigan, last month. Who says the Japs. are not intelli gent? Bro. Sugar of the Bastrop Clarion as sadly off when he declares that we have embarked in the snake story business. What we said about that dog and her litter of adopted pigs, is a fact 'easy of positive proof. On the 4th instant the last rail -was laid on the southern division of the Houston, Central Arkansas and Northern Railroad, and it is thought -that the northern division will be completed and the road ready for business in about four weeks. Bastrop is evidently a fine peach .country. Bro. Sugar after eating al seedling peach, says : "The peach from which At comes was grown and eaten in 1886; the seed was planted SMarch 17, 1887, and the ripe peach mnentioned above was eaten by the ~writer July 4, 1889." Mr. Carlos Greig, business mana-l gOr of the Breaux Bridge Union, has ,severed his connection with that paper, and will soon start one in the town of Washington, Louisiana, the Advocate. Mr. Greig is an old jour nalist of experienee and we hope he will succeed in his new field. Somebody in a late issue of the Welsh Crescent is abusing very vio lently the school system and laws of Louisiana. If the writer wonld only take the trouble to read the law carefully a great many of his objec tions would vanish, and he would discover the others were impractica ble. According to the Crowley SignE4 that progressive little town is to very shortly become the site of a col lege, which will be under the charge of that experienced educator D. M. Reese, of Mt. Lebanon College. Al. ready $35,000 have been subscribed, Mr. W. W. DTuson giving an 80 acres tract of land near the town and doing all the necessary printing free of charge. As the Crowley people generaly push things it is ex pected it will be no trouble for them to raise the remaining $1500 re quired and be ready for scholars by the 20th ul Septewber. Calcasieu pariah is wrestling with the pubhic road question. Every iodly is willing to admit that good reads are a prime necessity to the wolfnre of a oimmuni ty. ui a great many of these same fellows want to have line roads lard off and main tained in some mysterious manner without any labor or expense on their part. The presebt " law in Louisiana is not perfection we admit but the trouble does not lie in the law but rather in the people who op pose it or anything else practicable. There are a large elass in every community who own no property and enjoy all the benefits of law, or der. society. good roads, schools etc. It is only just and proper that, they should assist in bearing a share of the public burdens. Don't saddle everything off on the taxpayer. in a late issue of the Lake Clarles iqme rian, Mr. Kasson Frecmaii has an article on the road question which while excellent in the inair,is calculated to damage the cause he advocates by masking such lame, im fptuIst objections as the ioilowingi "The new road law in my hemble opinion can never be enforced. It has been repeatedly decided by the higher courts that you can not oblige a mar to work without pay, and to suppose you can appoint or elect a man to ill an office without his con sent, and to make him quality, would seem tc me anything but American." Come over to Vermilion and we will show you that the law not only can but is enforced, and the highest court in this State has declared that the law is correct. The law is good enough if you will only give it your support and try to see it enforced. Give it a fair trial and you will have a better opinion of it. Bro. Caffery of the St. Mary Ban ner, in an editorial entitled "Ameri cans for America." gives expression to the following sentiments which meet our bedrty approval : "Hay market riots and Dr. Cronin mur ders are but the natural fruit of an unrestricted immigration. The ut most circumspection should be used in admitting those who seek en trance. For, the stranger ,within our gates is too often a fomentor of riots, a felon or murderer, or one who comes solely to advance the in terests of the country he has left be hind-but who seldom comes with an honest desire for the welfare of this country, or with a spark of de votion for the stars and stripes. The people of North Louisiana are going wild on the subject of rail roads and the Bastrop Glarion offers the following sage advice to the peo ple of Farmerville who have quite a bad case. It will apply elsewhere '"While we wish the good folks of Farmerville all the nice things of. the world, we are bound to caution them that a survey isn't a railroad by several cubic feet. Neither is 1I16,000 per mile very cheap rail road work.' Sullivan got on a drunk in Chi cago; had a row with a couple of negro prize fighters, one of whom he knocked down for calling him a liar; the other nigger, Jackson could not get to him as Sullivan's friends pulled him into a back room. It is a pity because the big bruiser 'has declined to tight the nigg r. It they had been let alone he n ght have been compelled to do so. The Timne-Dem'crat of a recent date makes the following mention of a young lady well kucwn as a for mer resident of Abbeville : "It is announced that the lion. Lionel Adams and Miss Louise Sar pey, daughter of Dr. Emile Sarpey will be married at.the cloze of the preucut month.' A special to the Times-Democrat, reads : BATON Rouwt, July 11.-Judge I)eballon's resignation was accept ed vctcrday, and was filed in the Aecretaiv of State's office 4o-dav. The Supreme Court is always do irng something to increase the burden of taxation. According to a recent decision in the case Parish of More house vs. T. G. Brigham. it is held that all towns exempt from parish taxation are nevertheless subiect to pay parish licenses. Under this de cision our business men will have to pao an adtiitional license if the police jury on'der its collection. The Carencro.'corres pondent of the Lafayette ./Jdvertiser says We wint our friends to under star1 tit we wil rot sign any more petitions for the" appointinent of a district judge. W e want ,the )aw versin the district to get together and man-e a seloction, and if they an get along with why,-we can. Wll, if dial's the case; the Ve-r 1miltn -ilndidate will be the selec tion. But the: (,iernor. you see. has not decided. who his aelection will be, and there's the rub. fr;end Timthyv. (iat Sunday Alice Gray was hu" Pied. aged 32 years.

They will make sur veys and soundings. examine the soil to see what can be done in the way of permaneu-t dredging and jettying, and make a general report as to the fitness of the place for a port and deep water outlet.
