You take young lady pirogue riding she
hOllOws; when you kiss her she hOllOws;
and when she steps OH mouse she hOl-
lows: and when you ask her to be yours
she yells. Isn't she funny?"
Mr.. Geo. W. Thomas, who last year
was overseer on the Bush and Levert
plantation, is now plotting the ''Juvenile
Opera Company" composed of children,
and said to possess much merit. They
have returned from tour in Texas, and
were this week at the Avenue Theatre.
in New Orleans.
The people of this parish are hOspitable
unselfish and generous. Any stranger
making his home here would soon find
out these facts. Now add to this the
fact our lands and climate are unsurpaS-
sable, and it will be seen that this is as
good place to live and prosper as any
one could wish. There is room for
more.
b. Audibert has Just received the finest
stock of fine liquors ever received in this
town.
Some of the young men of this place
will make an effort to organize literary
and debating club. This is a move in
the right direction and should be kept in
position until it succeeds. Let them
call meeting at n specified time and
place and organize at once-where there
is will there is way.
A dramatic association was organized
here last week, and committee chosen
10 draft resolutions and bylaws. We
will i'm our next issue publish the names
of the officers and members of the Orga-
nization. This is indeed good news for
our people, as our amateurs will, ut the
least, give them one performance per
month.
The Lafourche Star says 'yOung ladies
have advantages that young men have
not. When they go on visit all they
have to do is to buy bolt of calico, two
yards for nickel and make mother hub
hards; and they are good for six months
stop. Lets advocate the father hub

ger says "Barkis is willin.'

We have heard it rumored that Gen.
X. 5. Perry of New Iberia, will be can
didate for Circuit Judge Of this circuit.
The Messenger believes Gen. Perry is
Just the man for that high and hOnOra-
ble position. Gen. Perry is so well and
favOrably known throughout the State
that we will offer no comment, but will
ask the Representative of this parish TO
do all i'm his power to secure the nOmi-
nation of Gen. Perry.
Though poultry raising has not, to our
knowledge, been tried on an extensive
scale in this parish, we know of several
instanres, where quite revenue was de-
rived from engaging in this pursuit in a
small way. Not long ago, farmers
wife told us that from less than twenty
five hens. she had been able to meet half
of the household expenses, and that
could she devote her whole time to her
chickens, she would make more money
than her husband with his crops. There
is no gainsaying the fact that we have
the finest country on the globe for breed
ing and raising chickens, and if some OF
these fine mornings some stranger will
demonstrate the fact that there is ''big
money in this industry.
