the help a young man derives from a bank account is
simply immeasurable.
Young man, don't look upon this as a trifle. Don't look
upon anything as a trifle-and therefore, undeserving
of careful attention.
1'rlfles make or mar the success of every one. They are not
Ireally tril~es, but only apparently so.
It may seem a trifle whether you have a bank account or
Evr not. It ls not a tril~e.
Eeyemployer has more confidence, and will give more re
spoinhible employment to the man or boy whQ saves
who has a bank account. Moreover, the dollars you
fritter away do you no good Your dollars in our
bank are pushing you nearer to independence every
day.

Th t
The Thibodaux Greys played the
Donaldsonvllie Professional's In Doo.
aldsonville last Sunday and demon- '
itrated to them they could play ball
just a little and that they were not
s awful easy as some people had 1
imagined. The Professionals have
made such a big "rep" this season by
vanquh hing every team which has
gone against them that the Thibodaux
hoys debated the question for some
time before they could muster up
the courage to ask Manager Muse,
man of the Professionals to please
Londescnd to play the Greys. Mr.
iloseman very generously granted
their rrquest on one condition and
that tbny would try to make It I
lively for the Professionals. So the
dame was arranged. What a terni- I
hie undertakiug; what a hopeless
task they had assumed in trying to 1
play winning ball with the Donald c
sonville Professionals. The very I
idea of such a thing. Why what on I
earth was the matter with the Mana.
ger of the Greys in taking his team
up against such a brick wall as the
Professionals. Such expressions as
"the Greys cant play ball;" "They
will be shut out," "The Profession.
als will make fifty runs on the Greys
'*they went he in it" and so on en
ough to fil volumes but the Greys .
never lost courage and continued
their daily practice as though they
were getting in trim to play Houma.
Yes we admit the Grey. are a remark*
able set of fellows possessing a con
sdderable amount of nerve but in
spite of the repeated warnings of
their friends, head strong as they are,
they absolutely refuaed to have the
game called off because they wanted
to play against a team which it they
came out victorious they would
'schieve for themselves immortal
fame.
The day came and the hour arrived
and the game was called and it would
have been goose eggs upon gose eggs
until the ninth Inning It the empire
had not made the Professionals a
present of a ran in the Second Inning
That the Professionals were not en'
titled to this run was evident to every
one but we suppose that the umpire
allowed the run to be made because
he did not desire the Professionals to
suffer the sad fate of being shut out,
and they most assuredly would have
been had it not been for
the fact that they were made this
most exesilent present by the mm*
pire
The Greys were in great trim
although some of the beat players in
the team were by so means at ther
best but at any rate put up a splen
did game. Pierce was too Seres as
the Booma Courner expressed it, for
the 'rotessionsis could'nt get on to
his wonderful curves. He pitched a
beautiful game and had magnficent
control of his balls. It was generally
agreed last Sunday by all who wit
nessed the game that Pierce had
pitched the prettiest game seen on the
Vonaldsonville diamond this season.
Spies caught a very fine game.
Knobloch covered first base I. great
shape. Doherty played a good game
but was not at his best. LeBlano
put up a magnificent game and saved
the day for the (reys by batlog out
a three bagger in the ninth inning
scoring Fudger. When LeBlano hit
out and everybody saw that a run
wasgntng to be made the people in
the Grand Stand as well as the
Rooters and Fans went wild. Hand-.
kerchiefs were waved, hots were
tossed in the air, umbrellas were
whirled around the rooters yelled
themselves hoarse, the ladies added
their plaudits to the terrible uproar
and peudemonum reigned for soma
time. LeBilaw was the hero of the
hour. To show appreciation for his
feat a collection was taken up and he
was tendered the nice little sum of
nine dollars and thirty five cents.
Fwdger played a fairly ggond gsime.
Trosclnir made several beautiful
catehes in letfi eld and put up a
great game. Delsane and Doherty
held down their positions very credi.
tably.
After the seconed ianntg the Pro.
feassonals soon toned out that they
were up against it and that it requir
ed errorless base ball playing to head
of a shut out The gamse was In
tensely Iateresting and exeiting from
start to finih.
About one hundred people from
Thlbodsan accompanied the Grey. to
Doeasidnvwille Sunday. Every one
reports havln speat an unusually
good time. Thzhbda people
were royally treated by the Donald
sonvllle people sad were the red
1.1e5t5 of goo many eoertessee.
We hope that it will nat be very
long boeroe the D~asidmonvalle buys
will give the Thibodaux Gresy a
sMwer game. Thpepe - sae rathsr
sanxiou to have the Doealdeonvllle
Prolseslenast play esr buys en their
own diamond. If the game ever
takes placs'we are quite rser that it
will be attended bay seven or eight
hundred people as the people of this
community are very eager to witness b
a game between both teams. The p
Grays are extremely conýlent of is
taking the nest game to be played L
with Donaldsonvllle.
Our boys are putting up some Ut
good base bell exhibitions and will D
soon be r'ady to give battle to the
Commercials of Hooms, the Platten
ville', Websters, Smith Brothers, la
Morgau City and Donaldeonvilie.
Our boys have played of the home 0
diamond for several weeks and we S
hope that when they return home
that the Thibodaux people will give
them big attendances. DI
BAYOU LAFOURCHE f
TO BE LOCKED. ,
dl
Purpose of a Bill Now Before
the Legislature.
The advocates of locking Bayou I
ltafourche at Donaldsonvillo are opts. ti
mistic. Thirteen out of sixteen ,
members of the Atchatalayn ad an
Lafo.ircbe bosids advocate the pro- p
ject, and they have the determination h
of the question, subject to the ap- T
proval of the Legislature. Au en- -
thorisation bill was intruduced yes g
terday, the draft being made Tuesday ý
at Baton Rouge at a joint conference .
of the boards, which will be obligated ,
to , maintain from Donaldeonville b
down a navigable fresh water cbanunel 4
of not less than six feet depth at the i
shallowest point. d
The `present Congress anthorised u
the building of locks at Donaldson- $
ville, including the incidental temn- U
porary damming of the stream, sub- b
joct to ratification by the legislature. a
The purpose of the bill introduced 9
yesterday was the granting of such e
legislative approval of the project.
At the present time, it being low
water in the Missiasippi river, there
is not more than eighteen inches over
some of the bars. The b111 obligates a
the levee boards to keep at least six
feet of fresh water over the bars, t
which meets one of the. objections
most urged-that the damming of
the head of the bayou would cause
salt water to come in from the Golf
through coast streams snd bays to
the injury of cane, rice and live stock.
One of the proposed plans of the
joint boards to meet the fresh water
obligatioo is to build a retaining dam
at Lockport, below which there is t
generally six feet or more at low
water, and a pumping statbee at the
Missiastppi river or at semes poaint a
the bayou to supply freak water from
one or more of the fresh water lakes
is the Lafourchs section, providing
also for drainage into the bayou, as
the closure of the stream would ut
terly remove the present necesstly for
i high, expensive levees, which are1
i especially diacult to maintaia alop f
r the Lafourobs. This plan of a re
taining dam and pumping statics
i includes a 6-foot lock is the retain-"
r log dam, through which boats, which
i now go to Lockport via Company
SCanal, could enter the Lafoerche for
I Donaldeonville, giving all of the La
tourche constant all-water communi
- cation with New Orleans. That is a
i condition which does not obtain at
present.
There has been little opposition to
the project in the two levee boards.
For the nine years from 1890-1899
i it cost the two boards an average of
i $112,000 a year to maintain levees
I along the Lafourebe. The damming
of the bsyou, the retaining dam and
g lock at I'mckport sad the pumping
t station would coat little more thaw
aone year's maletenance of the levees,
a and the asumal saving thereafter
m would be almoatasa much as the coet
- of the Initial work. The subasequent
a locks at the head of. She bayou would
a cost about *800,000.
I"Assume the cost to be $1,000,000,
I and that the abolishing of levees
r along the Lafoorchesasved only
a SI00,000 a yesr to the two levee
a boards, it would still he 10 per cent
s invesmeest to the taxpayers of the
a two levee districts," said a planter
f yesterday, "*and that locks to me like
