The steamer +. ". Cole took from the
Oil Mill at her last trip 5000 sacks meal
and the Teche took 1000 more sacks
Thursday for the lower Teche to be used
by the sugar planters as fertilizer. The
virtue of cotton seed meal as fertilizer
is being appreciated by the more enlight-
tned planters and in a very short tine
it will be very extensively used by the
planter generally.
1t is with great pleasure we read in
the city papers the announcement that
our young and popular friend, Armand
Veazay, native of st. Martinsyille, who
is distinguished Cornetist, has been
engaged for the season by the West
End concert garden. Mr.. Veazey who,
is quite young man, has received very
fattering comments from the San Fran
cisco, New York, Boston, Philadelphia,
Chicago, and st. Louis papers, which is
a recommendation of the talent of the
young artist. We extend to you, Ar
mand, our sincere congratulations.

For the lucky guesser. The commit
tee on lottery for the high school has
filled up a half gallon fruit jar with
beans and has properly sealed it. Now,
it will cost ten cents for 4 guess, the one
guessing nearest the number of beans in
the jar, will be given a fine lot in St.
Martinsville. which will be described in
few days. This is certainly Il fine OPP
portunity to invest ten cents and become
proprietor of a nice town lot.
We read special from Baton Rouge
last week to the Times Democrat sta
ting that Mr.. 4. n. Dupre, of the 5th.
ward of st. Martin parish had been ap-
pointed Il member of the Police Jury
from that ward to fill the vacancy caused
Gillard. We are surprised of this ap-
pointment rs Mr.. Auguste LedouX has
been appointed by the Governor a few
days after the removal of Mr.. Gillard
from this parish, who has qualified and
taken his seat rs member of that body.
Whether the appointment was made by
error or otherwise, we cannot under
stand, but We presume it is an error on
the part of Governor Nichols.
At seven o'clock Wednesday evening
fire was discovered in the workshop Of
j. A. Hitter, adjoining his residence, and
the exciting cry of fire; was heard in
every direction, the fire bells were sound
ing the dreadful alarm and the citizens
and fremen with their engines and
truck rushing at full speed through the
streets to the scene Of the fire. The fire
was caused by some phosphor which Mr..
Hitter used in some paint, which was
left on counter, and by exposure to the
air or some friction ignited. 1t produced
large smoky flame which filled the
building with suffocatiDg smoke, and
the daring citizens and Fireman who
entered the building were almost suffO-
Gated when they succeeded in opening the
door fronting the street. The fire was
put out without the use Of the engines
with but light damages to property, but
Mr.. j. A. Hitter had both hands fright
fully burned.
Our Fire boys are indeed, masters of
the destructive element.
