As Jeff Davis will not permit them to pass through Ar kansas the train will be run through Mississippi." M. Chauvia, of Gueydan, who had $21,00 stolen from under his pillow a few weeks ago, has had the mon ey returned to him Intact. There seems to have been as much my stery attached to the finding of this money as to its loss in the first place, for when it was taken the person who got away with it had to go into the bedroom through the living room where the family was all the evening, and as the money was found in exactly the same place It had been taken from Mr. Chanvin is at a lose to tell how it got back again. He believes it was returned in answer to the old nine days prayer and fasting that still has many believers in this section, and which he faithfully practised for that interval after his loss. Capt. Jas. T. Flint, formerly treas urer of Alexandria, bu wlho now resides in Nashville, Tenn., writes us that he is the only one in Nash ville allowed to read the Times Democrat, which comes to the Car negie Library there, for it is not allowed In the reading room on ac count of coming from a city in fected with yellow fever. Capt. Flint told the library people that he had thet genuine article, and had passed through. three or four epi demics. The Times-Democrat was turned over to him. He says: "But why should you not expect to find a few fools up here, when youfind so many of the same kind in Louis iana? This is the augument the library people use, and I must con fess it is a clincher."-Alexandrla Town Talk. Kaplan, La, Sept.-9.-Pierro Har grove, a farmer, living about four miles south of Kaplan, attempted to kill himself last nightby cutting his throat with a razor. He inflict ed a serious, but not fatal, wound, although it looked for a time as though he would bleed to death before surgical help could be ob tained. Dr. E. L. Tilley,of Kaplan who happened to be passing the farm after the deed was done, was called in, and upon examining Hlargrove found that his life was in no danger, and offered to sew up the cut for $1o. The would-be su ieide said he did not believe he was worth as much, and Dr. Tilley told him if he did not value his life at $10 he would not help him save it for less. Despondence is supposed to be the cause J~st like a perfect tting suit, bit then waterproof, is the kind of orders being taken by Aaron Ja.* obe, Opeloas, La. Our peppery townsman, Judge Gilbert L. Dnpre, is always and a-t all times ready to defend the old town ofl his nativiity. He will allow no one to step on the toes of old Opelouass witheut rfring"a back, and this he did when a Crowleyte attempted to "tread on ns. In last week's Crowley Signal we hnd the following: Dr. E M. Ellis, irowley, L~a. X see tt Ist~ed of deosijig ,L.r Randolph whoseeditorial provoked my criticism (a very good natured aedt wpelI mening ens) you are ventingtyor spleen on me. Not content with this you ay our peo pie had better"get. nbsy" and let your "working people alone." You are a typical Crowleylte. You imagine Crowley is the only place on the map of Louisiana and its in habitants the only busy ones. Now sir, permit me to remind you we are always busy enough to keep our houses in order, and do not have to keep carloads of sulphur to bring this result. If you have undertaken to clean your town and thoroughly fumigate the same, I can well imagine that a carload of sulphur is necessary for this pur pose. .You will, however hardly accomplish much if you continue to furnish the Signal's readers with any more three column communl cations. It would seem (to an out sider) from Jos. Flash's communi cation and Charlie McAyeal's reply thereto, that Crowley will have a world of work to do ere it reaches that point when it can institute a comparison with Opeloutsas. Please do not imagine you are the only "busy people" and that tons of sulphur are necessary (as in your town) to assist us in clean ing up. Here in this old town we do not talk so much about what we are going to do, as they do in other places, but we just go and do it all the same. What with as many as 73 laborers at one time, under the command of an able supervisor cleaning our strets, and our people engaged in doing the same work on their premises, we present a clean town, with perfect drainage,' with no ponds, nor receptables for water, and unsurpassed in health. If comparisons were not odious, I would suggest that you institute one between our respective towns. Yours truly, ..IhBERT . DLUPRE. Seven years' experience In taking orders.

Gayle, who has had charge of the departmentof science and has been commandant of ca dets for the past year, has resigned his position to accept a' position in Rugby Academy in New Orleans, where, however, he will devote greater part of his time to the study of Law, which he will make his profelsion.' He was very successful in his.work here, was a just and strict disciplinarian, 'was popular among all of his students, and was lked and admired by all the 'pa treas of the school and citizens of our community: His leavTing will be a cause of great regret to all. "Prof. Gayle's successor will be Prof. T. H. Elson, of Nebraska, who is a graduate of the University of Nebraska with the degree of B. A, and has been an instructor in scl ence and manual training and also commandant of cadets in the Kear ne-y Mlitary -Academy for the past two years. He comes with high commendation from his instr5dtors and previous employers and is well fitted to undertake the duties of his position here.' It is with pleasure that the Cation printe. the following from las)t wieek's Crowley Rice Belt News. M.r. Durto is an Opelousas boy, and a selfinado man: "It Was rumored on the- streets last week that Mr. Armas Durlo, city electrician and managerofthe eleetrie light and water plant, was about to tender his resignation to the cLty authorities.
