Wheaiher trees are TO he planted ir the
fall or in the spring it is best TO procure
item in the fall and heel then in. "Heel-
ing-n' is a most important operation, and.
according 10 its being well or poorly done,
1t is of great benefit or results in loss. 1t
is really temporary planting, which will
preserve the trees for almost any desired
length of time, yet allow them to be taken
out whenever they are wanted for perms-
nent planting. Select high, wel-drained
place. in light soil where water will not
settle, and free from weeds that may afferd
shelter to mice. The object is to place the
roots and portion of the stems in contacl
with the soil. A trench is opened. the
head towards the South, of a width and
depth governed by the size Of the trees.
The trees are laid in At an angle of about
forty five degrees; one la er being placed,
the roots and part of the stem are to be
thoroughly covered with fine soil. Then
another la er being of trees is laid in. more
soil, and so on; when all are in the trach
and the earth so filled in that no air spacei
are left among the roots. bank the earth "
over and around them, rounding it up vel
to shed water. As the trees are heeled in
use every care, by labels, marking stakes
OF by record, to preserve the identity of thu
kind When the trees are taken out fol
planting, there should be no difficulty o
uncertainty about their names. Th
should be kept in mind when placing then
in the trench. The trees are placed in I
sloping position that the branches may pro
tect these below them from the sun. II tn
weather is very severe and there is NJ
danger from mice, the tops may be covere
by leayes-or other mulch. If mice abound
heel in the trees erect, and bank up th
earth well around the stems.

The Storm.

Early Sunday morning a drizzllng
rain began to fall and continued Ike
that until about six O'clock in the even
ing when the drizzling rain began to
fall i'm torrents, and the wind blowing
from the northwest increased and the
weather took threat ming appearance,
and every one who was Oh the streets or
out from their residences hurried home.
1t was not long before squalls OF wind
would strike this place at intervals and
with such force as to create uneasiness
among the ladies and children, and al
though more able to control their unea-
siness, it was quite apparent on the
faces of many of the stronger sex.
At about nine and ten o'clock at night
the storm had reached the hight OF Its
fury, and the tearing down of fences, up
roofing of trees, the twisting OF the
branches from other trees, the noise Gre
ated hy the furious wind passing through
the thick foliage of the trees attlred In
full dress of green and the cracking OF
the strongest buildings, told to those In
side, dreadfully watching for the worse
to come, the work Of destruction which
was being done by the element in fury.
Whole families were up and cOngrega
ted near the doors of their buildings
with palpitating hearts, and ready u
take their chances i'm the open space
should crash be heard over their heads
The situation was indeed critical ant
was becoming more and more alarming
when at three or four o'clock III IN
morning, the rain ceased and the fury o
the wind somewhat abated, and a ray o
hone an l rasiness filled the hearts o
many father and mother.
Fortunately no lives were lost and n
serious damage was done to building
but large numbers of trees were uproo
ed and torn to pieces and fences every
where down. The damage in this ws
considerable. The draw on the bl

Rev. Father Jan.

Wednesday at ten o'clock in the morn
ming the Catholic Church was crowded
with people from every part OF the pa
rish who had come to assist at the ami
versary service of the lamented old
priest. The ceremony Of the dead was
an impressive one and was followed by
a Requiem High Mass celebrated by Rev.
Jacket with Rev. Forge as Deacon and
Rev. COughlan as Sub-Deacon, and
Rev Healy Master Of Ceremonies.
The church had been admirably drap-
ed in black. The catafalque was splen-
diily decorated in black velvet and sill
yer, upon which were laid the enseign
of the church which had been worn by
the old saint and which are previously
kept as relics. 1t is scarcely year
since this venerable old saint has depar-
ted this world to share the glOries OF the
Kingdom of his Master, and his memory
which is forever engraved in the heart
of every one who had the good fortune to
appreciate his numerous qualities. His
memory will soon perpetuated by the e.
rection by his admirers of mag nificent
statue in front of the chnrch he has so
faithfully served for nearly forty years.
May his ashes rest in peace, may his
soul enjoy the glOries and delights OF the
Kingdom of Heaven. and may he extend
his sanity blessings upon the parish OF
st. Martin and its people. Is it not his
blessings when about to celebrate ser
vice for the repose of his soul which
stayed the hands Of the destructive eye
lone and saved us from the destruction
from which our neighbors have so great
ly suffurcd.
The following priests were here to at
tend and assist at the service: Rev. e. A.
Rouxel, V. G. ADMINISTRATOR OF the
Diocese Revs. Forges, Lafayette; Bordi,

the sun will soon cause the cane and
cotton to straighten without very Sc
riOus results.
The telegraph and telegraphone wires
were blown down and communication
with the outside world was interrupted
for day or so.
Monday m Orning the weather was
bright with a light wind blowing from
the same direction of the storm. At a
bout two o'clock the rain began pouring
in torrents and the streets and sidewalks
we're soon submerged. The bayou rose
rapidly and is now beautiful river.

A Little Riot.

Tuesday morning some thirty white
citizens armed with Winchester Rifles
left town to meet like delegation fir ON
the third ward and then go around the
section known as Isle Liable and the
Grand Bois to disarm the negroes who
were reported here to have been organl-
zing and arming. This was peacea bly,
done and some thirty or more negroe
surrendered their arms which were tag
ged and taken by the whites.
When the whites reached the cabin OF
one Albert Louis, he said he would rath :
er die than surrender his arms and i'm
mediately opened fire upon the gentle
men who had called upon him. The
fire was returned by the whites wht

Special Tax.

Mr.. Chas. Gutekunst gave notice at
the last meeting of the Police Jury that
he would at the next meeting offer re-
solution to levy special tax to rebuild
the Jail and repair the Court House.
This We believe wise idea of Mr.. Cute
kunst, but we do not believe it would be
necessary to rebuilt the Jail, but with
good and judicious repairs it could be
made entirely safe for the cOnfineme mt
of criminals. What would be necessary
for this would be the bnilding of a SOL
id steel cage on the upper story, and the
lining of the other cells with 2 inch oak
or iron. The ventilation of the build
ing need also the attention of the Jury.
The putting up Of privies in all the
cells and escape pipes for waste water
would also be a great and needed I'M
provement for the higienne.
The erection of wind mill at a
cost of about SIS or 800 would answer
the purpose of keeping a tank always
filled with water and by the use of fau-
Gets could be made to flow whenever ne
cessary, and escape to the bayou by
means of tiles.
The Court House certainly needs ex-
teusive and immediate repairs. 1t also
needs substantial fence which would
at least be in accord with that temple OF
justice.
As these improvements would not
cost very large sum of money, we
would suggest to that body if they sec
fit to do so, to include in that special tax
| fund sufficient to rebuild the bridge a
cross the Teche ut BreauX Bridge.
That bridge is worn out and in its della,
pidated condition is very dangerous, and
while we start on improvements, let u
begin where il is most necessary. The
repair of the Jail, the repair of the Court
House and the rebuilding of the Bridge
at Breaux Bridge, is what in our OPT
MON. needs the immediate attention %
the members of the Police jury. and th'
approval of the taxpayers. Let us hav'
a reasonable special tax for the neede'
amelioration of our parish.
