BAYOU CHIEOT DOTS. "ulcked Up on the Wing" by Our Corres pendent. July 18.-Miss Fannie Tanner of Cheneyville, visited the family of Judge Singleton last week. Twas hard to give her up, but yet he said it could not be otherwise. Some seventy-five people are having a good time at Belle-Cheney Springs. Oh ! what a relief if the Highball Western, the Louisiana & Arkansas or the Hon. Thos. H. Lewis Rail road woulhd come in touch with us. C. E. Haas and wife and little Stella, of Bunkle, spent several days here last week, the guests of Capt. Haas. Albert Calcote, the only Albert of Elmn Bayou, gave us a pleasant call last Tuesday. lie reports poor crop prospects in his section. Mr. Griffin Thompson informs us that in going to his watermelon patch he noticed an usunally large melon, especially in circu mferene.-, and imagine his suprise on open ing it he found inside a full-grown mush-melon! Of course we don't doubt him. One of our boys who was a wit ness at court last week remarked to us that the new jail .at Ope lousas was the prettiest church he had seen in a long time, and even after he came home he knew no better until informed by us. It was so nice, clean and attractive that he had no idea it was a prison house. This speaks well for our friend Merrick. Last week Deputies Wolff, Fon te not,and Thomas, visited Opelousas. During their absence "Sheriff" De ville held the fort. Mr. H. L. Erlich had the first fodder of the season pulled. We thank Messrs. Wm. and Jack Causey for a delicious water melon. M r. Curry Wall, a hustling young farmer, has bought out the interest of Mr. Bond in the brick plant, and the firm name will hereafter be Thompson Bros. & Wall. Mr. Wall will give his personal atten tion to the business, and hopes be fore long to have a large amount of bricks ready for the market. Success to you, Curry. were sold h'e d`i'ing tie past few days. Tiere'is yet a good deal left in this vicinity. Dr. W. E. Hawkins, Dr. J. E. Hawkins, Capt. Sam. Haas, Thllomas Brothers, Wm. Tanner Jr., H. L. Erlich, Goiner Guillory, Sam Forman, H. D. Courtney, and others, still have cotton unsold. Since writing, over one hundred people are at Belle-Cheney Springs. The place resembles a little town. "Man" Cook has been declared the Chief Marshal of all the surround ings. D)r. W. 1). Haans, with his engi. neers, Majs.Carpenter and Moberly, was here last Friday, in the interest of hisliew road, which he proposes to build from Bunkle, via Eola and Cocodrie, to Ville Platte. The gentlemen who accompanied the Doctor speak very highly of the route which the road is to take. Just for a starter, with good wishes to all and malice towards none, how would this do for the next term? 'For Judge, R. Lee Gatland. For District Attorney, John W. Lewis. For Sheriff, Yves Andrepont. For Clerk, Ollie B. Thompson. Sheriff Swords desesves a place on the State ticket. Fellow citizens of St. Landry, the Legislature meets next May. Al though dead and buried the crea tion of the new Parish of Blanchard will again be agitated. Don't let the enemy slip on you. He will be awake and at work. Garland, Bailey, Lewis, Estorge, Swords, etc. we are with you in St.Landry,and if possible will remain so-so keep your eye open and don't let them catch us liapping. Mrs.. W:. Hass and" family, of Oak Hall, drove In Friday and spent the day with Capt. Sam Haas and family. CHICOT. Charles J. Bonaparte, the new Secretary of the Navy, refused to accept the free passes tendered him by the railroad companies, News From IBellevue. We had a heavy rain here Sunday. R. E. McBride, Bob Miller, and Pierre Higginbotham went to Ope lousas Saturday to sell cotton. The advance in the price of cotton is rushing the "boys" to town. Misses Viola McMillan, Kate Mc Millan, and Messrs. Ben Lewis and A. B. McMillan, visited the Misses Marcotte Wednesday evening. The merry crowd played pit, and had a nice time indeed. Ben Lewis won the prize. Prepare for the next week if it con tinues raining. A women in Louisville has been pronounced insane because she got up at four o'clock in the morning to cook breakfast. If that is a sign of insan ity, there are lots of men who will hope that their wives go crazy im mediately. There would be fewer di vorces in this "Vale of Tears" if there were more good cooks. They say there will soon be peace Twix Russia and the Japs. They say trouble will soon cease Among those Norway chaps. Theysay Hyde will soon sink from view Because he's put to rout But if these things all are true, What will we talk about? A lady remarked to me the other day: "I wish it would stop raining so that I could send to the woods." On general principles it may be assumed that a man who has always a good pile of wood near his house is pretty good to his wife. The corn crop is indeed in worse condition than we have seen it for years. Farmers far and near are complaining. Dear brothers, Thar ain't no use a cussin', And thar ain't no use to fret, 'Cause fortune ain't got ready To smile on you as yet. Just sotter grin and bear it, -There are better times coming for you-well, after a while, when we get the new railroad. I can't but feel that this is a most auspicious day for our country, and especially for Opelousas. It is a day that marks a new era in the com mercial and social -life of our city. For years we have been semi-isolated. The great wave of commerce surged past us. In the past we have been comparatively unnoticed, and while this has not been without advantage to us in the preservation of public morals and the higher planes of dom estic life, yet in this day the town. the country, no less than the man, desires advancement with the on ward march of civilization, taokeep in touch with the outside World. Arthur Marcotte on Sunday evening had a narrow escape from being hurt. While driving across a pond of water in a lane near Plaquemine his horse became frightened, kicked and ran into a wire fence, capsizing the buggy and dumping Arthur into the water. The. horse ran and kicked unti the seat and top of the buggy were smashed, and then he stopped and waited for his master whom he had] recently baptised. Arthur wasdleter mined to visit the vicinity of Plaque mine, however, and 'patched up the vehicle and proceeded on his trip. We are proud indeed to learn that our esteemed friend, Mr. Win. Young,, is up and able to walk around and enjoy the pleasures of seeing over his plantation. He has been deprived of these pleasures for a long time, having been very ill. We extend our best wishes to Mr. Young, and hope that he will have soon entirely recovered. ALTON. Alton, La., July 10, 1905, For Sale or Trade.

Mura vieff former Minister ofJustice, has resigned his position as head of the Russian peace plenipotentia ries. M. Witte, president of the Council of Ministers, has been ap pointed as his sucessor on the com mission. An expert on Eastern affairs says that when the war is over China will flood Manchuria with a horde of colonists and so make a barrier that Russia will forever be unable to surmount. The writer goes on to say that if this had, been done several years ago Russia would have never been able to push her forces southward. Five hundred Chinese were drowned in the West river, near Canton, China, by the colapse of a shed on the river bank. Police Jury Pr .eedllg Opelousas, I:., July 3, 1905.
