MIR. Notwithstanding that an
organization, known as the "White
League" is now being formed in this
parish; and being Of opinion that such
an organization would be in conflict with
thegpublie policy of the country; and
preiudicial and detrimental to the agri-
cultural interests of the parish of St,
Landry, We hereby propose to meet any
or all its advocatesaat such times and
places as they may select to discuss, be-
fore our fellow-parishouers, the propri-
ETY. of forming such an Organization.
