We are informed that there are
one parish and FIVE subordinate
%dess Of the Farmers Alliance fully
oresuined in Vermilion. They arc
gaining strength almost daily, and
viii. no doubt, in the course Of time
proye their influence and power.
Our esteemed young friend, Willie
P. Edwards, Esq, has been appoint
ed a notary public, and is now pre-
uared to give attention to all business
IN that capacity entrusted to him:
He is a bright young man and will
evidently make his mark as time
grows on.
We learn that the custom house
jnspectorship at Reddish Point. on
Vermiiion bay, has been re'estab'
]shed, and We are glad of tho fact,
asit will afford another position to
some Of our ofice-seeking friends
and you know there is hardly enough
to 90 around.
Farm hands are very much needed
in some portions of this parish, and
parties in search Of snch labor can
find plenty Of it in Vermilion at
good wages or crop on shares. Good
hoard and comfortable quarters will
be furnished. Single persons or men
with families, who are disposed to
work, will ind employment.
1t is Auggested by many Of our
citizens, and strangers visiting this
place, that the town authorities have
lamp pat up on each side OF
Madeleine square, so that pedes'
TRANS who have to be out dark
and rainy nights may see their way
without running the risk OF slipping
down in the mud or breaking a limb
Of the body. Will our town legisla
tors heed this suggestion and ac'
upon it at once? .....
We have seen q petition to the
parish school board asking that 6
public school be established in Able
vile for the girls, and we hope the
board will make . favorable re
Spouse. We know of many little
girls IN this place who should b.
At school every day, but their pa
rents are not willing to have then
attend the male school; ard besides
hrstclass female school here woult
induce parents in the country to sem
their daughters here 10 school. ant
the prosperity Of the town would b
enhanced thereby.
