DEATH OF JJSrlI PI ANTEVIGN2S

We have the sad duty to per-
form OfannOuncilG to the read
ers of the "Pelican" the death
of is editor and publisher,
JUSTIN PLANTEvIGNES, who
died very suddenly, at 8 o'clock,
on the nj CHIT of the 3lSt March,
in the sd year of his age.
He complained some on the
night ofth> Both March, but the
day before his death was ell
gagged in looking over his eN-
changes and attended TO his
editorial duties as usual. At 6
p. NJ, the 3lst ult., he walked
as far as the Red Store, and in
Il few hours after was dead.
The sad event is SO sudden,
so unexpected and the shock so
paralizin@ that our feelings will
not permit us to speak of JUS
TIN PLANTVIGNES as we would
like to, and as!ie deserves. He
was horn in this parish, cducat-
Ell in Kentucky and was most
ly brought up in the counting
house of his uncle, the late
AmrrOn LedouN. During the
war he was always in the field,
except when a prisoner. He
was brave, patriotic and devot-
ed to the South, true in his
friendship, generous to a fault,
and hospitablc. AS publisher
ofthc Pelican he was liberal and
tolerant; he sought to promote
the interest Of the parish and
State, and was Democratic nhis
political convictiOns.-POtntt

HE BAYOU SARA ELECTION.

Our friends in the lower village
held an election for city officers
on the 5th inst, with the follow
ing RESULT: j. f. Irvine, Mayor;
Il. Gore, G. Bockel, w. NJ. Town,
\. Fischer, andF. Nj. Mumford,
Councilmen; Charles Spencer,
Constable and Collector; John
5. Wooster, Clerk and Assessor;
Frank Il. Powell, Treasurer.
AS II whole the ticket elected
is a good one. The counciimen
who served during the past year
deserve great credit for the con-
ditiOn in which they will turn
over the affairs OF the town to
their successors-tinancially as
wei! as otherwise. The town is
entirely free OF debt and her
warrants are at par. We would
suggest that the new council
qualify at once. The people
need their services in the COM
ing fight with the "fatiler of
WATERS" and anXIou>ly appeal
to them for relief from the i'm
pending flood.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE

sleeping ilhaDltantS OF both our
towns were aroused 10y the un-
welcome sound of fire-bells.--
The bright glare at the foot OF
the hill left no doubt as to the
locality, and in Il few moments
the members of Pioneer Fire
{ Company had their engine on
the grounds and had lust begun
throwing a stream of water,
when Bayou Sara, No. I, rush.
ed upon the scene. Both COM
panies worked heroicalIy to az
rest the fire, but it seemed or
laincd that the almost sold row
of buildings Oh the right and
occupied by Messrs. Faram,y:
Martinez, Rettig and We'll, must
go. The fire, was the rcsult of
1NCENDlAEISM,
as the following facts will dis
close: Mrs. Farally was awals-.
cncd by Il b light light, and
;uousiny her husband, he rush
ell out to discover his house
in flames. Proceeding to the
objective point, it was found
that an old canoe lying under
! the west corner of his hO;!Se had
been filled with coal oil ana the
same lGnited. The flames were
rapidly spreading underneath
,l,,, house when Mr.. +. removed
the con,,,r. but he asserts that
had two or three active persons
been present, it is lis tellef, the
flames could have been arrested.
\ west wind famed the flames
and it was but short time be-
fore the Martinez and RettiG
stores were wrapped in a fiery
sheen. The fire engines played
for some time on the We'll build
ing, but the wind blowing in
that direction, it became evil
dent 10y no means could it be
saved. The building opposite,
occupied by JOS. Krain, three
times caught on fire, but was
saved by the gallant tiremen.-
Too much credit cannot be Civ
en- our fire department, who GER
tainly deserve bette" machinery
to work with.
The buildings occupied by
Far;,lly and Martinez belonged
to the former gentleman and
were valued at $4,000, covered
by an insurance Of S 800. All
of his household furniture and
stock of notions was lost. Mar
tineZ lost his entire stock Of
groceries and general mercIan-
disc valued at $4,000; insured
tor $500. RettiG's property
was valued at $4,000; insured
for 81, 800. Furniture saved but
damaged; 1909 fine ci CARS were
stolen from this gentle AN, at
ter having been recovered from
the fire. The building occupied
by We'll was his own property,
and was insUred for $1,000; his
stock of goods, insured for S.
800, was saved.
1t is to be hoped that the vile
ticnd who caused this calamity
may be found out. 1t will be
remembered that in February
an attempt was madeto destroy
this row, by setting fire to the
We'll building.

THE WHY AND WHEREFORE.-A friend

THE WHY AND WHEREFoRE.-A friend
wishes to know why We copy so much about
Judge Fowle and Julian S. Carr. The ex-
PLANTATION is easy. We undertake to give
each week a reflex of the political shadow
ings of our State exchanges. We take
from each paper a fair sample Of its opinions
relative to the aspirants for the several
offices. Hence if our columns seem to lean
to Judge Fowle it is because the majority of
the papers and communications are IN his
favor. If we nave ever omitted anything
said in Gov. Jarvis favor it must have been
due to failure to receive the number of the
paper containing it. (See note elsewhere.
Our object is to keep our readers fully in
formed of the drift of public sentiment, as
made manifest in the local organs Of the
party. Very few persons can afford to sub,
scribe for every paper in the State; but
they can at least ascertain thorough oul
columns how other papers are leaning. 1t is
hardly necessary to add that many papers
nave expressed no preference: and thai
there are frequent changes as the campaign
progresses the desire of the press being
to settle upon the strongest and the best
man for the place.
