Agriculturist Coming.
It is sincerely hooed that when
Mr. Manson Snowde'ln. state agent
of the department of federal agri
culture, comes here ,lon June 7th,
there will be a large a.scmbnlage of
our farmers and citizens of the;
parish in general. Ilis visit here
on that date is to try to bring
about a better system of farming,
and also to have plans made where
by we ca, have a r,-gular agricul
tural instructor in our vicinity.
This agent, if secured, will go on
the different farms and give per
sonal instructions to those who
will desire his services,
This parish is considerably be
hind with those surrounding us
when it comes to farming profit
ably, and it is utterly useless to
keep going in the same old rut;
and high time to wake up. For
many a year the farmnurs of this
district have been working a whole
year,raising,may he, only one crop,
and then take what they could get
for it.
Those days should be forgotten
and a new start made. They should b
do a diversified farming and raise
things for themselves, for it ac
positive fact that many a farmer
does not even try to have an
ordinary garden on his place; and
only raises one crop.
This meeting June 7th will be I
the beginning of a turn for better'(
farming, more profitable, and all
on less ground. Do not fail to i
attend this meeting, as it will be (
of benefit to you. Be there whether
youar are a farmer, merchant, I
banker, or school boy, and you
are assured that your time will be (
weal ownpied.

Maurice News Notes.
Last Saturday night, at a danc
ing hall, kept by Meance Montet
in the Fourth ward, of this parish,
Arcisse Prejean, a prominent
farmer and a resident of this place, 1
was badly stabbed by Theo. Guidry,
resident of Lafayette parish. Pre
jean is a married man about 35
years old, and Guidry is unmarried,
and age about 20 years. Imme
diately after the cutting an affidavit
was sworn out before Justice of the
Peace Jos. N. Prejean, and Guidry
was arrested Sunday morning at
the residence of his father, Marcel
Guidry, by Constable Edmond
Richard, of this parish, who locked
him in the parish jail, pending the
action of the grand jury.
The writer is sorry to learn of
the misfortune of our fellow towns
man, Dr. J. A. Villien, who lost
his automobile last Sunday. The
doctor had gone to Lafayette to
attend the initiation ceremonies of
the Knights of Columbus, and had
placed his car in a building belong
ing to the Lacoste Brothers, and
while the ceremonies were in pro
gress, the building and all it
contained burned. It is stated that
twelve or fifteen automobiles were
consumed in the big blaze.
Mr. and Mrs. Elias Landry are

which arrived Tuesday.
Francois Prederick, of Maurice,
was a business visitor to Abbeville
Tuesday.
Valerien Primeaux, of Milton,
died suddenly Tuesday night, at
the residence of his son Cleophile

Early Closing Hours.
SIt is very prohable that an efort
will be made to have the different
Smerchantsofthe city close their
- places of business at a certain
,hour, earlier than is usually the
Scase. There are very many favor
ble to the plan and there is no
, doubt but what the matter will be
finally decided in the next few
, weeks. It is true that there are
· two sides to the question and both
l sides may have good rmsomm to
, produce why they should orshould
e not have early closing hours.

"Hit Nail on the Head"
Patterson Tribune: One of our I
prominent citizens earring a pack
age, which he received by parcels
Ipost, from a large Northern mail
order house, was accosted by a
local merchant: "\'Why didn't you
buy that bill of goods from me? I
could have saved you the charges
of transmission and besides you
would have been patronizing a
home store, which helps pay the
taxes and builds up this locality."
The citizen looked at the merchant
a moment and then said, "Why
don't you patronize the home paper
and advertise? I read it, and didn't
know you had the goods in stock."
