About two weeks ago Mr.. Leonard
Cooper of Newport reached another mile
stone on liie's journey, and his vile, witt
"a number of friends, planned TO give hin
a surprise, but, owing to circumstances
this was postponed until last Saturday
evening, when very select party, soml
of whom were from this city, invaded his
domicile. The guests were welcomed,
and all enjoyed very Pleasant evening.
An abundance of Refreshments were
served, and at reasonable hour the
company dispersed, with sincere wishes
that Mr.. Cooper and his almable wife
may enjoy many returns of the day. He
received several presents from his friends
as souvenirs OF the occasion. Among
those present were Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred
Shelton, son and daughter, MIR. and Mrs.
VIM. Fountein and daughter, Mr., and
Mrs. Joseph Cooper, Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac
Bratton, Mr.. and Mrs. WIN. Gallaher

Miss Bertha Currau. The guests from
this city returned on the 9.47 p. IN. train,
and were escorted to the Newport station
by Mr.. Shelton and others.

In the local notice in the REPUBLICAN
last week the reporter entirely overlook
ed HAM urger ~ Sons superior line of
iml orted serge goods, which cannot be
had at any other establishment in this
city. When they made the contract to
sell these goods they got the exclusive
right and these goods can only be had at
this store, No. 200 Market street.
These blue serges make splendid Sun
day and every day wear, and fine suits
can be purchased for $40 and upwards
They are cool, lasting and do not grow
threadbare and shabby.
There may be shoddy and imitation
serges in the market, but these gentle
men know what they have got and are
not afraid of the genuine article coming
in competition with them. A suit OF
these goods ut $40 looks as well as a suit
of many other articles with a more high
sounding name that costs SIS and $40.
They are Just what is wanted by business
men, by worBmeu, by clerks, by profes
sional men, In fact by all. People who
cannot afford to wear a suit of "swell"
geods, should by all meane try these serge
goods. Don't forget that Hamburger i
Sous, No. 200 Market street, only have
them.

The Opelousas Female Institute, un-
der the immediate supervision of its
most worthy principal, Mrs. NJ. NJ. Hayes
will commence its Fall and Winter ses-
sion on Monday, Sept. End, under the
most flattering aud happy auspices.
Rev. F. w. Lewis, so favorably known

the primary department, while Mrs.
Annie MeDg will devote her time and
talents to the classes in music and art.
The buildings which are beautifully
situated in the healthiest and most fa-
vored section of the "Sunny South"
have been rejuvenated, and are first
class in oil their appointments.
Truly with these advantages, aud
with such a corps of worthy and COM
petent teachers, this Institute is entitled
to front rank among the institutions
of learning in our State, and our people
should accord to it most liberal pa

Our Roads.

EDITOR ST. LANDRY DEMOCRAT.
by the roads the Inhabitants are
judged, is an expression oft heard II
1t DC true, what an opinion strangers
must have of the people OF this great
and populous parish OF 81, Landryo A
section naturally fitted for the construc-
ton Of the finest Of roads. The facili-
ties for overland travel should not lie
better anywhere, but what have we?
bitches dug across the roads, without
bridges, the roads fenced and turned
across old ridges, mud holes into which
vehicles stick until the hubs of their
wheels are corered, and other obstruc-
tions. With little drainage, filling in
and bridging, we could have as fine
roads as there arc anywhere. 1t is i'm
possible for the farmers to haul more
than half load from Prairie Mamou
and surrounding country to Opelousas
during the winter months How much
more cheaply could they market their
cotton and rice il the roads were put
into condition that would permit them
to haul full, instead of half loads.
The construction of the Watkins rail-
road will divert d large portion of the
trade that now comes to Opelousas, for
the people will 90 further to avoid bad
roads, and it has been my experience
that, as rule, the roads in Calcasieu
parish are good.
If our people would bestir themselves
and put their roads in first class order,
they would soon see how much better it
would be for all

Very Conn I'M eapGabIe.

! Our readers will doubtless be glad tC
learn that the public road leading from
| Opelousas to Ca'iilam bridge is being
worked. This cominenhable undertak
ing was iDangurated by our worthy
parishioner and public spirited citizen,
Capt. j. J. Thompson, who, with some
hands from his road, and with his own
teams, spent the most of last week at
work thereon. Since then, Mr.. NJ. L.
Duson, son of our worthy cx-Sherif1, is
completing the job, ably assisted by
Messrs. L. A. and Thos. A. Cooke, of
the "bridge gang"
The magnitude Of this work can only
be appreciated by one familiar with the
wretcheu condition the road was in, and
the difficulties to be overcome. 1st. The
road had not been worked in several
years. ID. 1t raincd every day of last
week up to Thursday, when it fell so
hard as to put an end to the work for
the balance of the week. Sd. Want of
sufficient hands subject to duty on this
road
Notwithstanding this, from Calliham
bridge to poi It beyond Judge Esti-
lette's, the road had, on Tuesday even
ing, been thoroughly graded, bitches
opened, and bridges built and repaired.
The gentlemen engaged in the work in
formed US that they were going on to
Veltin's store. Let the good work go
on. Let some other of our good citi-
zens initiate their example and improve
the roads in their neigh hborhood, and
we will then appreciate and realize what
a blessing it is to have good roads.
St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1889-08-24

On Saturday morning last, the sec
tion-house at Haas station, on the T. P
road, was entirely destroyed by fire. Ii
was occupied by Section Foreman Will
liam j. Ewes, formerly of our neigh
boring town of Washington, who with
his family came near being cremated.
The fire was the work Of an incendiary
who first broke into store room at
taclled to the premises, and taking
tberefrom can of coal oil he saturated
the building with the contents and then
applied the match. The flames spread
so rapidly that the inmates of the build
ing had barely time to escape, and the
furniture, clothing, as well as the con-
tents of tho store room and kitchen
we're consumed. No clew to the fiend
who fired the premises has been found,
but it is conjectured that some one liv-
ing on the line of the railroad, and who
had cattle killed on the tract and failed
TO receive pay for the same. might have
adopted this method to revenge himself
ON the railroad company. Loss esti-
mated at $1,000.

men and Adolphe Prejean.
Simonotte Breaux, Alcide Bernard and
Ernest Crouchet were each admitted to
bail in the sum of $3.50, on the charge of
Jail breaking.
The evidence adduced Oh the exami-
nation fully sustained the charges as
made, and the identity OF the accused,
and their connection with the outrage
is beyond doubt. Judge Edwards and
Sheriff Broussard deserve the highest
praise for the action they have taken in
the premises, and it is to be hoped that
in all their future efforts in aid of law
and order, they may receive the sup
port and cOuntcnanco Of the entire
community.
