a Just as aton as a man opens a bank ac

He is a better man and a better citizen.
He acquires standing in the community.
The man who pays his bills with a check
is looked upon e a man with an ccount at
a bane It makes no diference whethes
the account is large or small The man
who gets the checkL doesn't know that. He
simply appreciates the fact that. you have money in the
bank. It increases his respect for you and his confdence
in you.
All this advantage cost you nothing. You need simply

Our Reply.
We are very sorry that the crit.
r cam which appeared in the They Say
Scolumn of this paper concerning the
incorrect date of the Comet's Supple.
ment was taken so very much at
heart by Editor Taylor. No cnriticism
I which has ever appeared in the They
Say column has ever been given in
the spirit of ofease.
We have never tried to shelter our.
rselves behind the *"impenetrable wall
of perfection", nor have we ever laid
claim to being otherwise than human,
therefore the thought of our being
divine or perfect is perfectly ridicu.
lous.
We do not consider it just to resur
rect matters which have been relegat
ed to the shades of the past for some
time, and to hold them up for criti.
cism, as the time for such has elapsed.
If our criticism in regard to Price's
show was couched in language which
was distasteful to the Editor of the
Comet is a matter of perfect indif
ference to us. We are satisfied that
the people of Thibodanx construed
our criticism in the proper light, and
that the Comet is fearfully mistakeu
if it thinks that our remarks retected
upon any lady or gentleman present.
Died.
On last Friday night at about 11
o'clock the friends and relatives of
Mr. P. Auguste Aucoin assembled
around his bedside to see his spirit
take its departure from this world,
which had contained so much sufer
ing for him the last few years of his
life.
Mr. Acolin was prominently con
nected with the management of the
Rice mills of Ernst & Co., of New
Orleans for over twenty years. When
the tocsin of war sounded in 61 he
answered its call and enlisted in the
Lafourche Cadet, a company of the
26th regiment of Louisiana. After
having served hi government with
the faithfulness of a patriot for ser.
eral years he returned home to his
family and until his death had led a
life of usefulness and uprightness.
Mr. Aucoin was 61 years and 3 t
months. His remains were followed i
to the 8t. Joseph Catholic cemetery, 4
by a large number of friends and re
latives where they were interred onI
January 18th, 1903.
We extend to the bereaved family!
our deepest sympathy.
