St. Joseph (?) Parish.

On Saturday last, at the banquet
given by the Gymnastic and Literary
Association, in their new Hall. at Brcaux
Bridge; DIR. Armaut Martin. one of the
Repi piesentatives-elect Of st. Landry par
ish, took occasion to express the views
and course he will follow in his capaci
ty of Legislator. and commented upon
the defeat Of Mr.. Louis &. Guidry, demo-
cratic candidate for the House Of Repre-
sentativcs Of this parish.
In his remarks he said be had hoped
that he would have the valuable asSis-
tance of Mr.. Guidry at Baton Rouge, and
it was his intention to give help to Mr..
Guidry-we presume in passing bill for
the removal of the parish seat from -.
Martinville 10 Breaux Bridge.
He said he would do his best to give
the people of BreauX Bridge part Of st.
Martin and part Of 81. Landry. and
create new parish ''',t. Joseph" with
Breaux Bridge rs the capital.
Mr.. Martin also said that Mr.. Guidry
was slaughtered by the white people Of
tine lower part of the parish. If there
was any :langhtering done in this parish.
we would like to know where the slaugh
ter was done. here i3 Il fair example:
The fifth ward. which is 4 Democratic
ward by n least 80 votes, gave Nichols
300 votes and Yarmouth 1872. The fourth
ward gave DR.. a. Guilbeau 4S5 votes.
Guidry $40 and Broussard 3jo. The
Third ward gave Guidry lS9 votes and
Broussard lS5. The second ward gave Il
solid vote Of 81 to Guidry and other de-
mocratic candidates. The first ward
gave Guidry l6S votes and Bronssard Isl.
Now. is il q reason that ii BrouSSard
polled 16vOtes more than GuidIy in tho
frs, ward that Guidry vas slaughtered
by the white people. when DIR. \. Gull
beau received l29 votes more than
Rroussard. and AS votes more than Gui-
dry iE rhe fourth ward. We fail to sec
where is the slaughter.
Mr.. Martin is very generous 10 offer Il
part of bis parish. take Il part of 81 Mar
tin tn create new parish: but it shows
that he has nos had much experience in
Legislative bodies. although he may pos
sess all the qualifications to fulfil the Gu
ties of that high aud honorable position,
bui ne Will certainly meet strong oppo-
sition from his colleagues Cf ~. Landry.
and from Mr. RochOn af this parish. who
| il is true IS colored man. but vine haS
mad good deal q: experience in thc
House OF Representatives. and who wa
oppose tie scheme of Mr. Martin.

After the funeral it was too much for

ground"
Then both Of US looked out Of the car
window quite a long while without say
ing anything.
II don't blame the boys for going into
something else longs other things pay
better; but l say-and say what l know
that tho man who holds the prosper
ity OF this country in his hands, the man
that actually makes the money for other
people to spend. the man that eats three
good square meals a day and goes to bed
at 8 O'Clock 81 that future generations
good blood and cool brains can go from
his farm to the Senate and Congress and
the White House-he is the man that
gets left at last to run his farm, with
nobody to help him but a hired man and
a high protective tariff. The farms in
our state arc mortgaged for over $780,.
OOO, 900. Ten of our Western states-I
see by the papers-has got about three
billion and a half mortgages on their
farms, and that don't count the chattel
mortgages filed with the town clerk on
farm machinery, stock, wagons, and
even crops, by goshl that amt two
inches high under the snow. That's
what the prospect is for farmers now.
The government is rich. but the men that
made it, the men that fought pcrarle
fires and perarie wolves and Injins and
potato bugs and billiards, and has paid
the war debt and pensions and every
thing else and holiercd for the Union
and Republican party and high tariff and
anything else that they was told to, is
left high and dry this cold winter with a
mortgage of seven billions and a half on
the farms they have earned and saved a
thousand times over"
Eyes; but look at the glory of sending
from the farm the future President, the
future Senator, and the future member
of Congress-"
THAT looks we'll on paper; but what
does it really mount to? Soon as a
farmer boy gets in a place like that he
forgets the soil that produced him and
holds his head as high as a hollyhock.
he bellers for protection to everybody
but the farmer. and while he sails around
in a highly tightly room with a fire in it
night and day, his father on the farm
has to kindle his own fire in the morn
ing with elm %slivers, and he has to wear
his sons lawn tennis suit next to him or
freeze to death, and he has to milk in an
old gray shawl that has held that mem
Der of Congress since he was a baby, by
CORY and the old lady has to @sojourn
through the winter in the fannels that
Silas wore at the riggatter before he
went to Congress-"
so Isay, and l think that Congress
agrees with me, damn a farmer any

lie then went away.

someth,nx Ab..t E.ster,

EscAange: This year Easter falls on
April 1. nine days earlier than last year.
The earliest possible day for Easter is
the ED of March and it fell on that date
in 1918 for the last tlmc in about two
hundred years. One object in ar
ranging the calendar moon was that
Easter might never fall on the same
day a. the Jewish Passover. Last year
Easter and the Passover were separated
by . single night. The Jewish festival
usually occurs in Passion Week. the last
week in Lent, or after the 25th Of April.
! On the other hand the Christian festival
is never held before the 25th OF March o,
after the 25th Of April. In 1918 Easter
will fall on the 2Sd of March as it d,d Id
1845 and 1856. The latest Easter oc-
CURED in 1855. the 25th Of April, and
will not fall on that date again unit

Death OF Mr. c. L. aannona.

Following close upon tho news of
Mrs. c. L. Hammond's death-February
3-comes the sad announcement Of the
death of Mr.. G. L. Hammond, which
occurred on.the 22d inst. in Las Vegas,
New Mexico, of hemorrhage Of the
lungs. His brother writes us from
Chicago that Carr" had gone there for
the benefit of his health q few days pre-
vious to his death. and when last heard
from vas feeling better and in good
spirits. The news Of his death is re-
cciyed by the writer with extreme sor-
row, o feeling that will be shared by all
who knew him in Kimball and else
where. He was an upright. honorable
man and highly esteemed for his excel
lent character aud exceptional business
abilities. 1t seems sad indeed 10 realize
that both he and his lovely wife are
gene from earth and numbered with the
dead. As noted when Mrs. Hammond
died, q six.months-ol baby girl sur
wives them.
