Biggest Catch
of the Season
One of the leading citizens of
Abbeville, together with four
prominent citizens of Gueydan,
a merchant, a barber, and a mem
ber of the high s:hool faculty, left
Gueydan Tuesday afternoon at 3
o'clock for (Grand Chenier, where
they were scheduled to arrived at
9 o'clock.
The trip had been planned for
a week and great preparations had
'been made. A good boat had been
secured and provisions put on
board.
The provisions consisted of one
pillow, one quilt, one ax, a few
bottleof beer and six sandwiches.
The boat, the style of a skiff,
was som:ewhat slower than was
expected, and the mosquitoes
worse than usual.
The fisherman proved to be loyal
to the engine, staying all night
with it, and also the mosquitoes.
Our Abbeuille citizen was appoint
ed a committee of one to take the
ax and cut the mosquitoes off of the
side of the boat as fast as they
would rivet they bills in.
The party arrived at Grand
Chenier at 3 a. m., and still
in good spirits, prepared to rig
up their fishing poles when, lo, to
their surprise, they had been for
gotten. Not one pole, hook nor line
did they have.They then went for a
swim, and as the six sandwiches
and beer had given out, they took
dinner at the Grand Chenier hotel.
After dinner, they left, for
getting to have a lunch prepared.
They arrived in Gueydan that
night quite hungry after their
strenuous` fishing - trip. Over
seventy gallons of gasoline was
used on this trip.
For the canning of figs, peaches
and " pickles: White Crown Jar
Seals, clean and sanitary, fits any
Maon jar, at Immergtueis.
Rain Prevents
Base Ball Gamb
There was no base ball game
here Sunday as was scheduled. A
heavy rain just about the time for
the beginning of the game visited
this vicinity and made the ground
so wet that thegames had to be!
called off. There was to have been
a double header, Cubs vs. Youngs
ville, and the Tigers vs. Milton.
There was quite a -large crowd
to witness the two games, and
after all they were much disap
pointed.
To Muck Rain Now.
There is absolutely no doubt but
what we are going to get the forty
days rain that was indicated by
the rain on the eighth of June. So
wemight as well carry the um
tredlloatil the 18tltof July.
In the game of life the worker
in the oae who scores.
Large Acreage
h is Not Used
The following has been given
out by the Lafayette Chamber of
Commerce:
Riding \West from Lafayette to
Ecl!h. on the Louisiana boundary.
rich grazing grounds for a thou
sand herds of cattle are visible
from the car -windows, but few
cattle.
Vet there were shipped from:i
this section this spring over four
thousand head via the Southern
Pacific alone,to one grazing county
in Texas. There they have been
turned loose on the range and in
the fall they will be shipped to the
Kansas City and St. Louis market,
butchered and processed and ship
ped back to liuisiana. Pr(~ably
some of the original owners will
buy beefsteaks from their carcasses,
paying fancy prices therefor.
The district in question without
infringing on present crops, is
capable of supporting nearer for
hundrcd-thot:san:d than four thou
sand, and there is sale for theni at
excellent prices within three hun
dred miles of where they should
be grown.
Given capacity for production
and known market, what is needed
in some medium for bringing pro
ducer and seller together, Other
communities have solved the pro
blem by organizing developecment
bureaus under trained management
to look after such general cornm
munity interests. Washington,
the Canadian Northwest, Michigan,
and North Georga are examples.
Enjoy ytrrself by playing cro
quet in the - evening hours. Nice
sets of croquet are sold at Dalton's
at moderate prices.
Motor Car Now
Carries Mail
Beginning Tuei'day mning of
this week, the motor c$r began
- ng mail in and out of Ab
ville, thus affording our citizens
and opportunity for a tanch quicker
mail service, and- gives us three
mails a day instead of two as here
tofore.
The car takes the mail out in
the m9rning, and brings in the
mail in the evening. One can now
get mail of early in the day by
mailing it in the evening or even
at night, and those who have lock
boxes may get their mail in the
evening, as the post office will be
open until after the distribution of
the mail.
Interestiang Bi Game.u
The game' between the Rice Cove
team and the Bayou. Tigre team
Stunday, which was played in Rice
Cove resulted in a yictory for the
Rice Cove team. This game was
started, and twp inings played,
before the heavy rain, After the
rain stopped, the greund being
grassy, drained off fast, the game
was finished and the players dis
played some record breaking slides,
and at the end of the nine innings,
the ground was very near dry and
a hot an was sliinin. ,It is very
probable that the Rice Cowve team
willbe seen here at an early date,
using one of our home teams for
theiropponents. The Rice Cove
team still has its first game to lose.

Rural Route No. 1
Started July 1
Beginning Tuesday, July 1, the
rural route, No. 1, was put into
effect, with Chester Labit, as tem
porary carrier. The route is about
twenty-five miles long, in the
northeast direction from here.
The carrier leaves here every
moraing at 11 o'clock, except on
Sundays. This adds much to the
convenience of the farmers and it
is our hope that this will tend to
have other routes put in.
