Parish Treasurer
We. N common with almost tho en-
ire taxpayins portion Of our parish
70 at q loss to understand the mo-
ives which actuated the Police Jury
y clecting WIN. B"o|\t t" the res
pons,blc position of treasurer OF f"'s
parish, That the people w"n'd not
submit to it could but be reasonably
expected that it wonld stir up the
diving embers of strife and bitterness
was certain, and to our mind it goes
to show conclusive|y wAot the radical
party ~o"u do were they in power
Happily for the decent cit'ze"' the
DAY of the rule of these degenerate
people has past, while its memory
c)immers in the dim gonc-by IKE

consider It TO be useless to 60 into
detailed statement of who Wm' bo"'''

wonll do if he were permitted. we
admit with sorrow that we cannot with

VIM, Boullt is held iu utter ahhor'
cnce by every decent person OF our
ocouaintance, and his election could
be nothing in intent bnt direct IN

isl,. We conceive the action OF tht
police jury to be a studied! ana ,,!I g snr
tainly regret to their last day. VIM
Boullt will not act an hour as par'Sl
treasurer, nor will the police jury h'
controlled a moment longer by tn
party to which the scamp belongs
for ut the meeting June 4th, the fv
lately appointed gentlemen will re
organize that body hy wiping out g

During our visit to New ID

We found some little diSa'
pointment and disapprobation T

are assured they will do.
