CLARK FIXED UP
IN NEW PLACE
Popular Jeweler Say* He Can
Already See Material In
crease in Business
■ While sauntering down Landry
street this week a representative of
the Star-Progress was hailed by the
happy voice of John Clark ,the pop
ular and industrious young jeweler,
who recently moved from Bellevue
street to the Sandoz building, on Lan
dry street.
Mr. Clarfk immediately took us in
charge and showed us the new stock
he recently purchased for his winter
trade—and all is so beautifully dis
played, too. He has installed the
most up-to-date furniture and fix- ! i
tures, and according to him his place j ♦
"looks like a genuine, up-to-date jew
elry store."
The young jeweler is satisfied be
yond doubt at the move. He says
that he can already perceive a materi
al increase of business— t;hat in spite
of the very adverse weather condi
tions experienced in this parish for
the past several weeks. He expects
to do a larger business this fall than
at any time since he has been in the
business, and he says "I am prepared
this year to serve my customers. I
have the biggest stock I have ever
carried."
CITY MAY PASS
STOCK LAW SOON
Understood Majority of Coun
cil Favors Measure Urged
by Commerce Chamber
Opelousas will have a stringent
stock law within a short time, if re
ports current on the streets during
the past week are correct. It is said
that three members of the city coun
cil are in favor of the movement re
cently inaugurated by the Chamber
of Commerce, and that at the next
meeting of the city fathers an ordi
nance, which will forever keep the
'infernal cows" off the lawns and
gardens of civic beauty-loving resi
dents, will be adopted.
Present conditions have been a
urce of much disappointment to
hundreds of public spirited citizens
of Opelousas. A campaign fox a
'city beautful" has been considerably
retarded because the Chamber of
Commerce has thus far been unsuc
cessful in its attempt to convince the
city authorities that the adoption of
a stringent stock ordinance would not
impose any hardships on the poor cit
izens of Opelousas.
Now that three members have as
sured the Chamber of Commerce that
they were willing to vote for an or
dinance making the fine so heavy
that it would be a hardship to allow
one's cattle to run over the city. It is
taken for granted that at the Novem
ber meeting of the council the cattle
question will be finally settled.
