The committee appointed at the
mass meeting held here on June 18th
met at the courthouse last Monday,
with all the members present. Mr..
w. 3. Torian was elected chairman.
A number Of subcommittee were
appointed, and certain line of duty
allotted to each. Vigorous measures
were adopted towards the building
OF the proposed road from Lafayette
to Abbeville. The committee which
waited upon the city council Gn
special session that day. obtained
from that body a pledge Of financial
support and hearty cooperation in
the enterprise. A committee will
wait upon the police jary and solicit
lis aid, either in the way of an ap.
preparation or by levy OF a special
tax. The country bordering Yer.
million bayou, and which would be
tapped by the proposed line, is one
of the richest sections in the two
parishes. The rapid development
of this fertile region, and the con-
sequent increase in parish revenues,
in a few years would more than re.
pay the parish for a reasonable out

Will you kindly allow farmer

of interest to our country and people
in these go Justly styled "hard times

depends the life Of the nation. II
any one is disposed to doubt this
statement just let him take into con
sideration the long faces Of your
merchants while the drouth seemed
destined to cut short the years sup,
ply; and in fact, just imagine the
condition Of any country under an
entire failure of the agricultural
interest for one year. And yet the
poor farmer. who has always had in
his reach q lever OF immense power,
has ever been the most helpless of
any class in the community. Why
is this? Simply for want Of concert
Of action.
We rejoice to believe that this
concert of action is to be fostered
by the Alliance, which is 80 rapidly
assuming the powers of a young
giant; and we believe and hope those
powers are to be executed for good
Good, first and foremost to the farm
ers as individuals, then collectively
and incidently to the whole commu
nifty. But the writer hopes the farm
ers of Vermilion will awake at once
to q full consciousness Of their op
portunities, and that pride in work
and due system of economy of
time as we'll as means will be so
inculcated that the day of slovcn
farms, groaning under a heavy mort
gage, will soon be q thing of the
past.
And right here l wish to say that
the merchants have, though perhaps
unintentionaIIy, done the farmer
great kindness the present season.

farmer, after vainly trying to get
some one to run" him, put COM

The merchants threaten to close out
any of these customers before the
end of the year who have joined the

the farmers ought to have self-respect
enough to give such merchants the

encourage everything connected with
their department in life. viz: better
crops. better stock, railroads to

The Paris Exposition has brought
sadness to a large part OF the shop

the theatrical managers who find
that the show drains the boulevards,
and that their business is reduced in
a manner unknown since the siege.

her to try the great specific for dyspep-
