EDITORS OF THE COURIER:
Warm, showery weather for the past
week. Ground too wet TO work cotton
properly. Corn growing rapidly, and
prospects for all crops very good. The
health of the community is excellent
There were several calls made by no.
ted personages III our village last week.
We mention Messrs. A. J. Perrault and
E. w. Reynolds and Judge K. Baillio.
of Opelousas. MI. snider, connected
with Mr.. Blackshear and the Inflated
saw mill that blew up some days since
near Bayou Chicot, was here % few days
ago and gave us an account of the dis
aster mentioned in your last issue.
The live Inhabitants of this place in
tend that it shall move to the front and
become as important in every respect
in few years as Dallas, Tex, if possi-
BILE to do so. We are glad to have the
live men of Opelousas call; they all go
off delighted with our village and coun
try, leaving us to hope-if nothing more
that they will soon become citizens
of Haasville Miss Corinne Gradenigo,
of Washington, who has been visiting
friends here for the last three weeks,
left for home on the Cd inst. We hope
Miss Coy will come again.
Capt Sam Haas has a new saw mill

Te prevent and punish driving of carts and

porate limits of the town of Opelousas in
any other gait than an ordinary walk, and
providing penalties for violation of the
same.
Whereas the large number of bridges re-
uuired in the corporate limits of Opelousas
necessarily entails heavy expense on the cor
poratiOn treasury; and
Whereas, the driving of carts and wagons
at faster gait than an ordinary walk tears up
said bridges, making it necessary for the town
authorities to regulate same;
Be it therefore resolved, That it shall here
after be unlawful for any one to drive any cart
or wagon over any bridge within the corpora
ton faster than an ordinary walk; that 1t
shall be the duty of the Constable or any spe-
cial officer to arrest any one violating this or

ident Of the Board of Police or any Justice OF
