Mr. Editor:-An Old Farmer (?)
has spoken out on the subject OF
the election. After mentioning
his wife, his cows and his children,
he comes to the more important
subject of election o. the Hon. E.
E. Mouton. for District Judge. He
does not seem to be much inter.
ested in the other officials who are
to be elected at the same time
however, and I suppose something
prominently good must have
been discovered in Judge Monton
to have thus drawn off his atien-
ton from his wife and cows. | am
also DESTROYS of having a good
Judge as well as Sheriff and Clerk.
And if Old Farmer will once more
take up his pen, and tell us all
about the good qualities of Judge
Mouton. which so much impressed
themselves on him. and so strong
ly convinced him that he is Just
the man for the place | and all
my neighbors will be glad to be
convinced also, and we will all
90 and vote for him. Come now
Old Farmer! l know you haze
good reasons for urging Judge
Mouton's election and we all want
to know what they are. Do not
merely tell US he is your choice,
but give US your reasons for think
ing so, and if they are good ones
you shall have the thanks Of an
OLDER farmer.

"a From a friend who visited
Vermilionville last Sunday we
learn that quite a scene occurred
in the Catholic Church at that
place during high mass. An
old man by the name of Sosthene
Dugas, while under the influence
OF cornjuice, attempted to smoke
his pipe in church, and upon being
reproved by Father Branche,
began a series of gestures and
screeches which so terrified the
co congregation that they fed in
causing a regular STAN
pede, en- screaming and faint
ing while the man jumped from a
window and falling upon the
ground clawed around so actively
that it was sometime before the
Constable could get hold of him.
He was finally captured and
lodged in Jail while the service
thus interrupted, was abruptly
terminated.
