Landers had as unpleasant experience and as narrow escape as will ever come to them last Sunday afternoon. They were on their way to Gueydan when it happened. The heavy rains had caused much water to be on the sur face or the ground and when they came to what is known as Mire Cas tille, in Vermilion parish, about three miles from Meaux's cotton gin, on the road to Gueydan, they found that the-water was quite high. They ex pected that their horses would have to' swish some portions but had no idea that the water would be as deep as it was. After going something like two hundred yards one of the horses became frightened and began to lunge and jump and otherwise be have badly. In a few moments the horse became entangled in the har ness and fell down. Inside of two minutes it was dead and there was no way for the men to get out. The strap that held the tongue was broken and the end of tlke tongue stuck in the mud. This made it impossible for the other horse to get out of the water and after floundering for about three-quarters of an hour it also was drowned. This was a relief to the tvo meg in the buggy, f6r during the horses struggles the vehicle was several tim'es nearly upset and its oc cupants were kept busy trying to keep it from going over. "We owe our being saved," said Mr. Landers, "to the fact that before entering the water we put the top of the buggy down. This made it pos sible for us to stand on the top while in the precarious position. We were on top of the buggy and were in the water shoulder 4eep. In this pOsi tion we staid for two of the longest hours I ever spent. Finally we at tracted the attention of a farmer and he came to our rescue in a boat. We lost our coats, shoes and other wear ing apparel, for we had taken them off in order to swim out, as a last resort. "After getting out of the water we were compelled to walk a mile with no shoes, and we were glad to get to shelter."--Crowley Signal. Scholarship Free.

Paper and envelopes and material used by the printer have advanced in price, and if this trust business con tinues will be compelled to raise their rates, and also prices for job printing. We wish there was a paper plant in Louisiana that would keep out of the trusts. Everybody would patronize it, and a large amount of money would be kept at home. Death of an Editor. Judge T. C. Lewis, editor of the Eunice Vindicator, died last Friday evening. Several years ago Judge Lewis was a resident of Farmerville, and his many friends there will re gret to hear of his death. He was buried at Church Point, Achdia par ish. A Mild Type of Small Pox. The two cases of small pox which were imported in this tow4 last week by negroes from the upper part of the parish, are now well. The house in which they were, in the northern sub; urb of the town was quarantined by the town Board of Health, and the measures necessary to prevent the spread of the disease were taken. It seems, howevei, that all the precau tions we may take will hardly keep the 'disease from coming into the town, for we learn that the disease, though of a very mild type, prevails nearly all over the upper parts of the parish, not only among the negroes, but among the families of our best white people; but, we have not heard of a single death caused by this loath some disease. We noticed by the papers that small pox exist almost all over the southern States. It seems, however, that some measures should be'taken to check the spread of the disease, mild as it is, and to stamp it out of the parish.-St. Martinville Messenger. Small Pox at Gueydain. Dr. 1T. T. Tarletoh, medical nspec tor of the State board of health fot the southern parishes, was registered at the Crowwey House Thursday. He was seen by a ýSignal representative in regard to his migsidn hire, whd ascertained that he had only stopped over night here on his way to Gney dan. Dr. Tarleton informs the Signal that the citizens of that place have repeatedly applied to the State board for aid and advice in regard to a mean of extinguishing the small pox from their town, and that his trip there is for the purpose of looking into the matter. Gueydan seems to have her share of the disease,;togeth. er with the other towns in this sec= tion. It has been stated that there are at pres a cases at that place.-CIwley Corresiogdo*a Wi*#ould likt , live, eneric cores ent in etch com munity in this parish, who can furn* ish us the news and attend to the qusiness of the paper in each of their respective localities.
