Nj. C. Pruitt, who resided seven miles
southwest of town, brought load of
Iay to Opelousas, on Friday last week,
and was returning with only a barrel of
coal oil in his wagon; when near the
railroad, he fell from the wagon, and it
ran over him. He lived only a few min
utes, and died. We learn that he had
heart disease, which probably caused
his fall and death the passing of the
wagon wheel over bis body may have
s,astened death, but the weight was not
Thought sufficient to have caused it.

MILLIONS IN IT.-For many years it
has been known to the inhabitants of
Mason and adjoining counties, that
large salt and coal deposits exist there.
And, now, several of The most pushing
citizens, we are informed, intend build
ing a railroad to open up these valuable
deposits to the world. To those who
have money to invest, here is a fine
opportunity to reap fortune. Listen
The salt wells are 1900 feet deep and
many, many feet wide. Now the stock
holders mean to dig up the wells in tact,
and sell them to corporations. The peo-
pie can then go down into the square
and for five cents clip off enough salt
to last them year. Or, the stockhold-
ers will sell them to railroad and tele-
phone companies, to make holes tohold
their telegraph poles or, sell them in
blocks to make salt selldrs. In fact,
never before has the State developed
such an enterprise. The Standard Oil
Company has been placed in the back
ground. Brother Whitlock has taken
the agency here. If you see fourteen or
fifteen freight cars come into town,
loaded with one giant column, be not
excited. The aforesaid brother is now
negotiating with our corporation to
buy salt we'll and present 1t gratis to
the city. If they do so, after genera
tions will rise up and call them blessed
