When the first vessel completed the
passage Of the then new Erie canal, in
1925. there being no such thing as a tele
graph in those days, the news was COM
municated To New York and to Buffalo
by cannon placed within hearing of each
other all the way along from Albany to
each of the other cities. The signal was
passed along in this way from Albany to
New York city and back again to Albany
In iifty-eight minutes. This is quicker
than Il telegraph message can be sent over

An election was held in this town last
Tuesday to elect trustee to fill the va.
cancy caused by the resignation of Mr.
Charles Gueriniere. Mr.. Charles Gui-
rard was the only candidate and received
the 26 votes cast.
1t is claimed by large number of De-
mOcrats that the Parish Executive Com
mittee had no authority, to call a prima.
ry election for the election of the Asses
sOr and the Police Jurors, and even il
they were empowered with that authori-
ty, their action was too premature, and
the democrats not considering it binding
upon them did not even vote for these
o Officers-a fact which can be seen by the
returns. The vote for these officers be.
ing very light compared with that of the
other officers for the parish.

informs us of very strange occurrence
which he witnessed on his plantation
last week. He had very fine dog to
which he and his family was greatly at
tached, which was taken sick, and died
shortly afterward. On making a post
mOrtem examination 1t was found that
death was caused by from 100 to l4O thin
snakes from II tolls inches long in the
heart, which had nearly eaten the
whole of that organ, and were alive when
the heart was cut open.

But at last the Police Jury seems to have
come to sense of its duty towards so
large and flOurishing portion of the
Parish of st. Martin and we are happy
to learn that resolution, presented by
K. Duchamp, of the first ward and Sec
onded by l.. Gillard of the fifth ward has
been carried, and that the President of
the Police jury has been authorized to
institute legal proceedings against any
objecting parties, to compel them to de-
liver the road laid out at their places aud
leading from Breaux Bridge to the r. R..
depot at Lafayette.
This is certainly move in the right
direction. This community has suffered
long enough for want of easy and ra-
pid communication with the railroad,
which is at our doors, and we cannot ad-
NIT that any one has any right to impede
and prevent the prosperity of this coun-
try for any reason whatever. Our Police
jury is composed of men that have full
sense of their duty, and we have no
doubt that they will make due allow
ance for any property of which the dis
senting parties may be deprived for the
common good, As this matter will now
turn into the hands of our recently elec-
ted District Attorney. Louis j. VOORHEES,,
We embrace this good opportunity to let
him know that when we gave him our
hearty support, ii was under the cOnvic-
ton that he will prove true to the inter-
ests of our people, and this is certainly a
good and early chance for him to prove
that the high opinion we have enter
tanned of his talent and energy was well
founded. Let us then expect that this
new road will soon be opened to travel
and that the bridge being built, we shall
be in close connection with the outside
world.
There is now growing talk of immi-
grafton, the Police Jury with its usual
foresight has voted two hundred dollars
to the Immigration bureau; but its duty
is far from being here accomplished.
Let it be remembered that the parish of
st. Martin has the worst reputation for
roads of any parish in the State. Now
that so many good people, driven South
by the blasting billiards of Dakota and
other northwestern States are looking for
homes in this blessed section, let us give
prompt attention to all our ways of ira
vel, so as to invite them to inspect the
different parts of our parish, wherever
any lands are for sale. For in all candor
we must acknowledge, that If we make
no efforts to improve our public roads,
it is useless for us to call Immigrants
amongst us or vote any appropriation to
that end; for the actual condition of our
highways, especially in rainy weather,
is sufficient to drive far away from us any
of those thrifty people, that bid fair by
their advent here to make our State the
fairy land of the South.
