Instructive Lectures.
The lectures given at the Opera
House last Saturday night under the
auspices of the Lafourche Progressive
Union, proved very interesting and
highly instructive. The audience
which greeted the speakers was very
small, still a much larger one could
hardly have been expected owing to
the bad condition of our highways
anti the high water situation. Presi
dent W. P. Martin opened the meet
ing and introduced the first speaker,
Mr. Dickensheets, of New York, who
enteitained his hearers, with facts
sad fgures on advertising in the
periodicals of the
ia. me , of
e.leetrnud on ygs
for development olered by fIs sie
tine of the country. He nompfimeut
ed our town upon the progress it was
making especially upon its owning
its own eleetric plant and waterworks
system. Mr. Story said that there
was one thing that puzzled him about
this town and which he was unable
to solve, and that was, how could we
suffer to have trade shut out from us
by having a toll bridge span the
bayou. His opinion concerning the
bridge seemed to have been shared
by the whole audience, judging from
the long applause the speaker receiv
ed ed upon expressing it. It might be
well for the "Bridge Committee" to
investigate the question of free bridge.

have used Chamberlain's Colic, Cho
lera and Diarrhoea Remedy for
r cramps and pains in the stomach and
found it excellent. It as in fact the
best cramp and colic remedy I have
ever used. Also several of 'my par

As to Bad Roads.
v
- We have had bad roads in this parish
" during the long rainy season and the
h high water, such as no one would
g like to see again. This town has
I' suffered terribly from the impassable
m;roads. The loss su stained by our
merchants has been heavy.
Now that dry and warm weather
has set in, the roads are better,
ythough still rough. They will soon
a' be in theIr normal good condition.
We must not lose sight of the
0 question of good roads, however, but
,,keep it constantly before us unotil we
get our roads throughout the parish
n in thorough repair and peafectly
a dra.ned. There is a maxim in vogue
Iamong Europoea statesmen by which
dgoveraamemts Are advised "In tame of
pesce, prepare for war.' We woeld
it psrsphrass lt, "IoU.l. of the long
dry weather of the summer, prepare
- the roads for the long wet spell of
a the winter."

The last issue of the Houma Cou
rier contained the following notice of
the death of a well kiowu former
resident of this town:
' Mr. Joseph Boudresux, an old
and popular citizen of this I ariah,
died this week at his home on Little
Caillou. Mr. Boudreaux was a
brother of the late Alfred Boudressx,
of lower Terreboune. DIveased at
te mels a home on Uppeir
Terrarboone, hut four or dve years ago
he sold his place and moved to Little
Uaillou. A year or so ago he lost his
wife, to whom he was devoted, and
this sorrow sank deep into his life.
Whenever he visited Houma, Mr.
Bondreaux male it a point to call at
The Courier office and have a friendly
chat with the editor. His occasional
visits will be missed at this sane
tum."
The deceased in years past was a
merchant of this town. He was a
kind hearted man, noted for has
cheerfulness and perennial good
humor. His hearty disposition was
good for the blues.
He left here several years ago to
live on a farm in Terrebonne some
six miles from this town.
His old friends here will hear with
regret of the death of "grus" Joe
Boudresux, as he was generally called
to designate him from another Joe
