The question Of organizing an elcc-
tric light stock company is seriously
agitated in onr midst, with IL prospec'
of final organization.
W. think this is starting in the right
way. If T%hibodaux is river to he illu-
minated by electric light, it will he
only by The leans of private corpo-
ration.
The town authorities ought Ia en-
courage the movement, by contracting
for lights to the full extent of their
means. Bnt the support of the town
simply. will not justify the expend,-
lures of putting and cunning an cleo
trio plant.
There must lie some other induce
mcnts offered and THESE should ma
%turally come from that class of our
citizens most directly Interested, the
merchants. viii they %patrnnize the
concern9 If yea, let them come for
ward and it.
The house-llo!dcrS. too, who can
afford it. should encourage the enter
prise with their promise to support.
There is no doubt that Il company
can be organized and alt the stock
subscribed a,,ol,G oar W citizens, IT
substantial inducements are extended.
Now is the time to act, and the chron-
ic GROWER sh"n'A step aside; let him
keep his predictions Of failure to him
self, for future use.
Among the pleasant sngar-houSe
parties the present season, none have
been more agreeable than That of
Thanksgiving day which was compos-
ed of the young girls of Mount Car
mel Convent. Accompanied by some
of the sisters of the Institution, they
walked to tho Acadia plantation of
the Hon. Andrew Price. where they
were received by Mr.. w. +. Price,
shown through the immense buildings
in which sugar is being made, and en-
tertainel with that hospitality which
refinery.
The sisters and the girls were de-
lighted with their visit. and after en-
ioying themselves tn their satisfaction
they prepared to leave. On issuing
from the suyar-house they found t.
their surprise Il wagon prepared t"
bring them home, in which they re-
turned delighted with their Thanks
giving excursion, and charmed with
the kindness and consideration shown
them.
