Mass Meeting at Cut Off.
A call has been issnud by the fol
lowing named citizens of lower La
fourch'", viz: Messrs. J. T. B:.deaux,
Louis Foret, S. verio F,,ret, Domn.iic
IIarang, K ie Ducos, A. Pierce, Fran
cois Derambe, Julien Lefort, Eugene
bleunier, F. P. Parrs and Dr. P. H.
Tetreau, for a mass meeting to be
held at the Cut Off, on Bnday, De
camber Srth, at 2 o'lock p. m., to
consider the question of the damming
and locking of Bayou Lafourche, and
to protest against the action taken by
the Napoleonvllle meeting of Decem
ber 13th.
The editor of the S rNTINZL has
come into contact with many repre- i
sentative citizens of lower leafourche,
since the agitation relative to the
damming of the Bayou lasfourche,
and from them has learned that the
pieople of Lafourche are strongly in
favor of the project of damming the
bayou. In fact they look upon this
proposed plan as the only salvation
from overflow for their section.
It goes without saying that Sun
day's mass meeting will be largely
attended by men deeply and earnest
ly interested in the cause, and strong
ly favoring the damming of the
Bayou.
