To the IHonorable the Judge of the 17th
Tudicial IDistrict Court, in and for the
l'arish of Vermilion, La.
We. the grand jury having completed
our labors for the time being, beg to
make this, our final report:
Our inlve:-tig: tions have extended
generally to all law violations coming
to our knowledge, amnd we have present
ed only those, which we deemed should
be prosecuted.
We have had under consideration the
business affairs of our late police jury,
and have given same much serious
thought, and while we found that the
parish affairs have been grossly mis
managed, a policy of waste and ex
travagance carried on, and unnecessary
committee appointment fees paid, vet
so far as we have been able to ascertain,
none of the public money have been
embezzled by any member of the police
Jury.
We believe the resignation of the
members is accepted as a symbol of
recognition on their parts be-speaking
their incompetency and inefficiency to
meet the requirements of the situation,
and we approve them in resigning,for it
carries with it, under the circumstances,
a painful humiliation and an object
lesson for years to come.
Their resignation is a most happy
sequal to the stuation, and we believe
that all purposes of law and justice have
been fully and amply subserved thereby.
The district attorney should be con
gratulated by the people of this parish
for having brought about this investi
gation and for having stood firm at the
post of duty until the matter was finally
disposed of.
We wish further to extend our heart
felt thanks to the district attorney for
his assistance in lightening our labors.
Respectfully submitted,

To Organize a
Taxpayers' League
There was a move made last
Saturday to organize a taxpayers
league, whose purpose it will be to
have committees in the different
wards to look after the best in
terests of the affairs of the parish,
, of the respective wards.
The slogan of the league is
" ermilion Out of Debt." And
it is also the intention of the
league the look the right manage
ment of the affairs of the parish;
and that if any irregularities or
unbusinesslike transactions should
present themselves, they will be
given publicity by the league.
Among the names of those who
are to be members of the league
are:Ovev Broussard,A.J.Naquin,J.
Alcide Broussard, A. Choate,
Elijah E. Bartels, C. Bouvillain,
S. F. White. J. L. Ledet, J. P.
Jones. F. D. Lege, Abrah Brous
sard, Theodore Broussard, S. Z.

Maurice Items.
Much sensation is felt over the
resignation of our police juror,
Mr. Belizaire Broussard, and the
citizens are at a loss to know who
will replace him. Several men
have already been suggested. The
ancient police juror, Sidney
Andrus, and the justice of the
peace, Prejean, are among those
who have been mentioned, but
according to the rumors neither
one seems to be much inclined to
accept the place.
It is understood that a mass meet
ing will be held by the citizens of
this ward next Sunday afternoon
at the Broussard school building,
the purpose being to bring the
people together and work in
harmony, and select a candidate
without opposition, and much in
terest is being manifested over the
plan.
We are sorry to learn of the
death of our friend, Numa Hebert,
who died last Saturday. The
funcral was held Sunday-afternoon,
inter:"ent being made in the
LeRoy cemetery. The funeral was
largely attended, and a large num
ber from Maurice attended the
funeral.

Postmaster Labit
Passes Away
On Monday evening, Nov. 3,
1913, at 7 o'clock, at the residence
of his daughter, Mrs. Albert
Stauffer, Mr. Jos. T. Labit passed
away, after an illness of several
weeks, Mr. Labit was aged 67
years and 13 days.
The funeral took place from the
Stauffer residence Tuesday after
noon at 3 o'clock, interment being
made in the Masonic cemetery,
with the Masonic ceremonies. The
funeral was very largely attended,
and many friends and relatives of
the family from outside came over
for the funeral.
Mr. Labit left seven children,
being Frank Labit, of Crowley; J.
H. Labit, of Houston; Willie
Labit, of Temple, Tex.; Chester
Labit, of this city; Mrs. D. L.
McPherson, of thia1 city; Mrs.
Albert Stauffer, of this city; and
Mrs. M. V. Williams, of Baton
Rouge.
Mr. Labit was the postmaster!
for this place, and has been the
postmaster for over forty years.
Mr. Labit was born in Terre
bonne parish in 1846, and came to
this place shortly after the war,
having served in the Confederate
army. He was a prominent mem
ber of the Masonic lodge of this
city, and was the last of the
charter members. He was a good
man and was liked by all who
knew him.

Indignation Meeting.
An indignation meeting was
held last Saturday at the court
house, and while there was not so
large a meeting as was expected,
several interesting talks were made
by several. %
A resolution was passed request
ing Mr. E. B. Hoffpauir, member
of the police jury from the fifth
ward, to resign at once, Mr.
Ijoffpauir being the only member
that had not resigned up to that
time.

To Aid Bureau.
The Iouiiana senator. and re
pre.entatives in Wa-hington have
assured the Bureau that they will
render every assistance in rcnlov- ;
ing the regulation prohibiting the!
importation of Mexican and South
American cattle through the ports
of Louisiana.
The commercial organizations
throughout the district and the
New Orleans Association of Conm
merce have taken the matter up
individually with our national
legislators. There is every reason
to believe that this unjust and
discriminatory regulation will be
removed at an earty date and that
several thousand head of cattle
will be imported for feeding
purposes by the farmers of South
west Louisiana.

Every Housewifie is a Business
Woman--Every Household
a Business Establishment!
She who does the buying for the home has
quite as important a business matter on her hands
as the income-maker for the home!
The income-maker furnishes ,the capital on
which the home is run. The housewife spends the
money---manages the "business" in which that
captial is invested!
She is responsible for the business success of
the home---and no home i a success unless its
finances are managed prudently and wisely.
The housewife must know values---not merely
"usual prices of things," but differing values in
commodities. She must know bargains---and the
very latest word of bargain news. When to buy--
what to buy, where to buy---she must learn from
an intelligent and presistent study of the ads!
