his return he had the good luck, as he
termed it, to be seated in Il sleeping

into conversation with u travelling

asked him how he stood on the liquor
question. The young man of st. Lam
dry told him that he was opposed to the
use OF liquor as a beverage, but that
as yet" he had not abstained: The

diately, and pulling from his overcoat

The fact that our town should bnild
a public hall will be apparent when it
is known that the Police Jury, at their
last meeting passed resolution in
structing the Sheriff not to allow the
use of the Court Room of the parish for
any purpose except for the meetings OF
the State and United States courts, for.
elections, and for the assemblage OF
meetings for general parish or political
purposes. What will we do with thea
tres and shows of different kinds 1t a
hall were built it would Immediately
yield good revenue. When there
would be no shows or entertainments
going on, "a skating rink might be a part
of the time kept in operation. Aside
from this, for several nights in u
month it might be rented to the differ
ent secret orders now rapidly springing
up in our midst.
