'THE ST. LANDRY CLARION. "Here Shall the Press the People's Rights Maintain, Unawed by Influence and Unbribed by Cain." VOL. V.---NO. 2. OPELOUSAS, LA., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1894. $1 PER YEAR PARISH INEWS. IBayou Current. October 15th. Everything moving lieacefully and quietly in our part of the worll. Weather still fine; no rains nor storms to disturb the cotton fields, many of which are white yet, tho' the planters are using every effort to get out the cotton. Steamer J. E. Trudeau went out with a good load of cotton this trip, ahnost every planter made a ship ment. No Sabbath School at the Presby terian Church Sunday, there was a arterly meeting at Riverside M. *: Church, and the Bayou Current friends went up to that service; Pre siding Elder, Mr. D)avis, officiated in the meeting. Dinner was served mn the grounds, so ~pne wereobliged to return home, till ifter the after noon service: This meeting has been going on during the entire week, and our 1*yqu Current young peoplle have been attending regularly at night. Beautiful moonlight nights for driving to church ! Mrs. E. C. Neilson has returned to her home on the Atchafalaya, after being away on a visit to her relatives over in jackson, La., and with her daughter at Whitaker, Miss., for the entire summer. We more than wel corne'Mrs. Neilson home again, and hope than'. 'y health will continue to improve. ' , Messrs. Newton Richard and John IFaw, of Big Cane, and Willery lHilcd-, of Rosa; were visitors at Ba you Current for a few days the past week. Mr. Robert Gordon, of Green Store, has bi~'ill for a week, at tended by I)r..r .E. Oden, but we are glad to learni '-' the D)octor that Mr. Gordon is iE.. mreproving. 'Mr. Frank Boykin,'" ,: young clerk for Mr. E. C. HIayes; at Ba you Current store, has been up at Green store, in charge, while Mr. Gordon is unable to attend business. Itseems very natural to see Miss Calvena Gorden ride out on her re gular evenings to Mrs. H. N. Oden's for her music lessons, just as she did last session. It will not be long be fore we will have a few more good pianists added to our present list, judging by the progress of Misses Calvena Gordon, Anna Oden and others. Music always has it's charms-even to the savage ear. One of our ex-cotton planters of the Atchafalaya, Mr. C. S. Kay, now a sugar planter of Rapides par ish: was in our midst Friday and Saturday, looking after his interest here. ~r. Kay certainly lookswell, ing fairly with im andh rejoie over having made a change of resid ence from this country. Fair Atcha falaya has never yet been made to blossom like a rose. LINDA. G.#raund (oteaiu. October 16th. Judge Pavy, of Opelousas, was in town on Thursday, visiting his daughter, who is attending school at the Sacred Heart Convent. The St. Charles college has again re-opened, but the attendance is very small; it is indeed a deplorable fact that such an institution of learning should be so poorly patronized. Miss Gautier and the Misses Lo queur, of St. Martinsville, were the guests of Mrs. Jules Petetin during the past week. There seems to be little sympathy in this neighborhood manifested to wards the Bolters, the gentlemen remain staunch to the Democratic ranks. I think it ridiculous for a few petty sugar planters to take up arms against the United States govern Inent. Our roads are extremely dusty, and a heavy shower would be most welcome to residents of town, but the farmer is making hay while the sun shines, and is busy gathering in his cotton. However, when it is only bringing 4% cents per pound, there is little encouragement for the poor planter. Mr. E. V. Barry, one of our en terprising merchants, has been ill for several days, his genial face was much missed from his accustomed place. Miss Lizzie Smith, accompanied by her cousin, Miss Mamie Casse, paid a pleasant visit to our sister town Carenero, where they were hospitably entertained by Mr. and Mrs. D)ugal. Quite an improvement to the su burbs of town, is the new cottage of Dr. Guilbeau, which is nearing com pletion. SGiNsomITA. Plansance. October 18th. Mr. W. Evan's corn crib, located between his dwelling and carriage houses, and Mr. Blackshear's crib, was destroyed by fire on Tuesday eveuing. Fortunately, the wind blew the flames from the house, and with the faithful assistance of about thirty men, the fire was confined to the crib. The origin of the fire is at tributed to the spontaneous combus tion of a lot of hay which had been stowed in the crib loft before being thoroughldy cured. About 275 bar rels of corn, partially roasted, was saved, while about 600 barrels and a large lot of pea *vne hay was des troyed. Mr. J. M. Hainkl, a New', Orleans drummer, and Mr. Eugene Lachapelle, a young colored man of' this place, were among the most act ive workers on the scene. A shooting affray occurred at a wedding, near here, on Tuesday night, resulting in the killing of Ben Bertrand and the wounding of one or two others. We did not learn full particulars; but we understand that it is the ''fruit of intoxication. This is another point for prohibition, though gained at a clear cost. A party composed of Opelousas gentlemen and some from the ' 'west side," participated in a ' 'oon hunt' ' on Saturday night. They were so successful that on the next day-although it was Sunday-an agreement was signed for a "turkey hunt, " in the near future. Owners of turkeys will please take notice and have their turkeys' lives insured. Friend "Toupl Tit, ' ' what has be come of the '(ldeer' ' you had on the market some time since? CRUSTACEA. Melville. October 17th. Jack Frost made his appearance in our midst on the morning of the 16th, for the first time this season, and we are all now convinced that grim •inteV-Jr-4 at:i: ht" will soon have to hunt up their shawls and overcoats. Rev. A. W. Turner's family is now visiting in Melville and have been for the past week. Mrs. A. Rosenberg, of Melville, is spending a while in New Orleans. Messrs. J. E. Church and W. P. Peyton, left to-day for a short stay in that place. Miss Florence Butler, who is teach ing in the country, made a flying visit to her parents Saturday. Rev. Stephen J)avies passed through our town on the 16th, en route to Alexandria, after having spent several days at Riverside, where he held a Quarterly meeting. Rev. J. R. IRoy, of Simmsport, was seen on our streets last Friday; also Monday. Our public school will open on the 29th of October, in the new school house, presided over by Miss Katie Havard, of Rosa. If all wandering reports are true there will be a big wedding here on the 24th of this month. Work on the bridge at this place continues day and night, Sunday and every other day. There is a new barber shop going up near the depot. Several northern families have moved to Melville lately. CELESTINE. Porte Barre. October 15th. Cotton weather is still prevailing. Last Sunday Miss Doremus add ed to our choir at the Catholic church of Porte Barre, her charming voice. Mr. and Mrs. P. Robin visited their daugher, Miss Philomena, at the convent of Immaculate Concep tion at Opelousas. Mr. C. H. Melancon left last Sun Mrs. H. Melancon is visiting friends at Opelousas. P. B. SOCIETY ANI) PERSONAL. I. L. Jacobs, of Washington, was in town on Monday evening. Miss Yetta Jacobs, is visiting friends in New Orleans, this week. Miss Alice Hinckley, of Arnaud ville, visited friends in Opelousas this week. Mr. Armand Roos and wife, of Eunice, were visiting relatives in town on Monday. Constable J. M. Jackson, of Mor row, was here on Tuesday, and called to see us. S. Jacobs returned from a busi ness trip to the Crescent City on Wednesday. Mike Cahn, of New Orleans, was in town on Wednesday doing the "drummer" act. Mr. Fritz Dietlein, and sister Alice, attended the wedding of their cousin, Miss Elmire Dupre, on Wednesday. Miss Rosa Firnberg left on Thurs day for a visit to relatives in Dal las, Texas. She will also visit the Fair while there. Miss Bella Jacobs, of Washing ton, who has been the guest of Miss Julie Block for the past week, returned to her home on Tuesday. Theo. Frois, of New Orleans, was in town during the week, in the interest of his firm. He was "all smiles" over the unusual success he achieved on his last trip to "Red Stick." Mrs. J. T. Skipper left on Thurs day for a visit to the Dallas (Tex.) Fair. From there she will go to Brackettville, her former home, where she will be joined by her mother, who will accompany her home for a visit. Those hustling insurance agents, Lewis & Lacombe, made what Laurent calls an "electric" trip to the Huron and Elise plantations in St. Martin parish on Wednesday evening, returning on Thursday evening, and wrote up policies ag gregating $25,000. Both are ener getic and wide-awake young busi ness men, and it is needless to add that they are doing a profitable business. DISTRICT CO1 RT. Friday, October 12. State vs. Ed.
