Donaldsonville Chief: The Opelou
sas COURIER has closed its twenty nintl
volume and starts into the thirtieti
with new type aud much improvement
in appearance. The COURIER has al
ways been a staunch, consistent Demo
cratic journal and proposes to remain
so. We wish Messrs. Sandoz the pc
cuniary success which their journalistic
ability deserves.
Thibodaux Sentinel: The Opelousat
COURIER is 30 years old. The Demo
cracy has no firmer, ADLER, or more hon,
est supporter in Louisiana.
The COURIER is one of the most well
come exchanges that reach this Office.
1t is devoted to the interests of it,
readers and neighborhood.
1t merits hearty and should receive
good support.
Lafayette Advertiser: The Opelou-
sas COURIER with it's last issue begun
it's 3Oth volume. We congratulate it
upon this auspicious event, and take
this opportunity to say that the CoU
RIRR is one of the best edited and man
aged papers in the State. May it have
many more anniversaries.
New Iberia Sugar Bowl: The Opel
Ousas COURIER, which recently donned
all entire new dress, together with a
power press, enters under these aus
picious signs Of prosperity, its thirtieth
year of existence. The COURIER is
numbered among the class of progress
i've country journals Of Louisiana and
having always followed q straight course
of Democratic principles, it deserves
the rank it occupies and much cncour-
agement. May it live forever.
Washington Argus: That old stand
by, the Opelousas COURIER, has reached
it's thirtieth year; still, it is not yet in
its dotage, but comes to us, as of old,
full Of vim and ever ready to battle for
the right. We congratulate our con-
freres on their success in a thirty years.
journalistic career, and hope their future
may be crowned with prosperity, and
that when the time comes for them to
leave this sublunary sphere, they may
safely find a haven in that place where
all good newspaper men do coDgregate.
Lake Charles Commercial: Last
Saturday, October Z, 1882, the Opelou:
sas COURIER entered it's thirtieth vol
ume. The COURIER has had many
severe trials and undergone many
changes since we, thirty years ago, as
sisted in getting out it's first number.
But it has outlived all opposition and
stood the test of time as one of the pur-
est and snundest expounders of Demo
cratic doctrines in southwestern LOui-
siana. Under It's present management
it possesses every element of success,
and it has our sincerest wishes that it
may long continue to live and that the
brightest hopes of friends Leonce and
AdOlphus be realized.
The Opelousas COURIER, our staunch
old co-laborer in gloomier days, as it is
in this, has entered upon its Both vol
ume, and with the best wishes of the
Telegraph that it may survive to cele-
brate it's semi centennial. = OudchitG

Through negligence we failed to ex-
tend last week our congratulations to
Bros. Sandoz, editors of the Opelousas
COURIER, on the successful completion
of the thirtieth volume of their valua-
BILE Journal, which is among the Oldest
in tire State. 1t reminds us of the COM
pliment paid to Uncle Sam cover a
hundred years old, but stronger than
ever" The COURIER is not that old,
however, but we hope it will be some
,day.-Tberia Star.

The w. A. r. Brass Band turned out
on last Tuesday night, and rendered
some very good music as selenade to
one of their members, Mr.. HID. .Larcade,
who was married OIL that evening. We
had heard that the band had dissolved
its organization since the departure of
their teacher, Mr.. Eckert, but we trust
this is mistake. There ia certainly no
reason why they should not preserve
their organization, because the young
gentlemen who compose the band are
all good musicians, and have made pro-
gress enough to continue their practice
successfully. Keep up your organiza-
tion, young gentlemen. Opelousas
should have a first class band, and
your membership possess the talents
to meet the demand. Go on with your
practice, and success will follow you.
