This entire section of Bayou Beuf
and Cocodrie country was visited last
week by floods of rain that filled the
bayous and overfowed thousands of
acres. In many places the waters of
the two Bayous met, forming one vast
sea of water five and six miles wide.
Cocodrie's food waters rose on the back
until they flooded the Morgan Railroad
track, reaching up to Capt. Haas store
on the bank of Bayou Beuf. All of
Elm Bayou country was totally under
water; the fine plantation of Black
Lake, belonging to Mr.. Geo. s. Single
ton, was all under water at one time,
except an acre or 80 where his dwelling
stands; all of his tenants We're forced
to move out, the water rising in some
of the dwellings five and six feet. For
miles along the bayous the lands have
been flooded. 1t is difficult to say who
has been injured the most. The rain
that did all the damage commenced to
fall on last Monday, the 14th inst, at
1890 o'clock a. M, and continued to
fall in torrents for a period of 81 hours.
The bayous rose very rapidly. Almost
De1OT0 tne peopie coulu ISaIle tno sI1-
uation, they were surrounded by the
rising foods.
It is feared that much harm has been
done to corn and cotton; besides, the
foods have been serious strike at all
business and work the Morgan Il. R.
track was in danger at one time; only
for the timely arrival of men, the track
just above US in the Tiger Bend swamp
would have been swept away.
By next week we will be able to say
to you more in regard to the real dam
age done corn, cotton and flooded prop
erty taking it all together, it is bad
enough. We can find no one that ever
heard or saw at any time in the past

IS IT WORTH ANYTHING i?

To feel absolutely protected against Fever
and Ague, Malarial fever, Typhoid fever, Typhus
fever, Gastric fever, Bilious fever, Diphtheria,
Pneumonia, Scarlatina, Summer Complaint,
Blood Poisoning, and all and every form of COM
mon disease?
Is it worth anything to be able to etfectually
cleanse the blood in your entire system, to renew
your youth, and inyigorate all the organs of your
body; to permanently cure Costiveness, Dyspep-
sia, Water-brash, and sour stomach? To cure
Jaundice and stoppage of Gall ducts, to cure
k-headache and Biliousness, to cure Liver
complaint and Cancerous liver, to cure Kidney
diseases of long standing? To be free from Gout,
Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Sciatica, and kindred
troubles?
Is it worth anything to enjoy good health, to
have good appetite, and to sleep we'll? If all
them almost for the asking. We know from long
experience that this statement is true, but we
also know that few will accept 1t as truth. Moth
ing but actual experience in the use of Parsons
Pills could bring a person to realize fully their
marvellous power to prevent and cure disease.
Are not you willing to take our word, to run the
risk of being swindlted, SO to speak, out OF 70
cents, for the possibility of securing such great
blessing as We know Parsons Pills would be to
you? If you should once become acquainted
with these Pills, you would never cease to be
grateful.
Parsons Pills were a wonderful discovery, and
there are none others like them in the world.
The information contained in the wrapper
around each box is worth many times the cost of
q box of the Pills. We use the purest drugs to
be found in the known world; buteven these, be-
fore being used are subjected to the peculiar
purifying process known only to the chemists art.
If families and individuals could only be made to
realize the marvellous power of Parsons Pills
in the prevention and cure of disease, and in
promoting the general health, vast amount OF
suffering and expense might be prevented.
Our business was established in 1910, and is the
oldest of the kind in this country. Is it, there
fore, likely that we would put forth an untruth-
full or deceptive statement? Frauds and false
pretenders do not remain long in business in this
country. We suppose that Parsons Pills may
be found at your nearest store; but if not, We
will send one box by mail, postpaid, for % cents
In stamps. Or we will send two boxes of Pills
and beautiful engraving of President Cleve-
land and his Cabinet for SO cents all postpaid.
The engraving is 24xsO, and retails for 90 cents
We will send free to all who send us their ad-
dress handsome illustrated pamphlet contain
ing information of great value. If you order
mention this paper.

Proceedings of the n lss Meeting Of June lsta
The meeting was called to order by Homer
Barousse, afterwards elected permanent
Chairman, with DIR. w. w. Lessly Secretary.
The following resolution being offered by
Mr.. J. z. Pelton, was unanimously adopted:
Whereas, On the I7th of April, 1886, the
citizens Of Church Point ward, in mass meet
ing assembled, defined and set forth the lines
and boundaries that would be acceptable to
them for the new proposed parish OF Acadia
And whereas, the people of Rayne, through
the executive committee, in joint session with
representatives from Church Point and Coulee
Croche ward, did shortly afterward agree to
and adopted said lines and boundaries for the
purpose of securing the support of Church
Point for the new parish.
And whereas, The representatives of Rayne
have recently, and without consulting any IN
terested parties, except Rayne and Opelonsas,
agreed to boundary lines totally different from
those agreed upon heretofore, and have thus
violated the understanding and agreement
had with Church Point
And whereas, It is evident that the propos-
ed lines as now agreed upon are in the polit--
icaI interest of certain parties in Rayne and
in Opelousas, and altogether ignoring the
welfare of the citizens of the new parish.
Therefore, be it resolved, By the people of
Church Point and vicinity, that the action Of
the representatives of the people of Rayne,
set forth as above, has released the citizens of
Church Point from all obligations to support
the bill creating the new parish OF Acadia,
and this meeting recommends to the citizens
of Church Point and vicinity to vote and use
their influence to defeat the same.
Resolved, That no new parish should be
created out of an established parish, without
consulting the community to be affected by
the lines proposed to be run, and respecting
these wishes and interests.
Therefore, be it further resolved, That we
are determined TO form any alliance that viii
aid us in defeating the proposed division.
even should such alliance jeopardize certain
interests that some parties have SO much a
heart.
Be it further resolved, That these resolu
I fions be sent to the Senate IN care of Mr.
/ Kavanagh, and that he be instructed to Us,
them as protest against the proposed divi
sion, together with the petitions sent to Batol
