Town Talk Says:

AT the repeated request of number OF
our young readers, we have consented to
devote little of our time and give lit
tie space for the "tOwn talk" which will
be entirely TO matters Of society and
little of the love affairs of our young
friends.
Here il goes:
That the drugman says he is now an
orphan and feels sad and lonely.
That kic was bounced sky high not
long ago, and fell not in love, but in dis
pair.
That our typo wants the girls but also
five thousand dollars bout. That's busi-
ness more than love?
That hot bread and butter eaten on the
bridge makes SPLENDID lunch So We
learned.
That our young lawyer seems to ap-
preciate very much his business in
Breaux Bridge.
That st. Martinville boy pays fire.
quent visits to Cades station, is he be-
lever of matrimony?
That DaisO goes town the Teche. Has
he quit going up town?
The the newspaper dealers greatest
point Of attraction is near the Court
House. Roses are blooming there.
The young man near the Railroad
Avenue seems lonesome since the Opel.
Ousas girl is gone.
That no more honey can be had at the
drug store, that trade is mOnOpoIized.
That the trip to the Island City was
greatly enjoyed.
The "town talk" has cops of repor-
ters and correspondents who will make
'tOwn talk" lively hereafter. Mind!
That he says our girls are the prettiest
of the state, and he'll bet nickel on it.
That if boy wants to please his girl
and make her smile, just say lets have a
milk-shake.
That the young clerk next door to this
office is a masher.
That our young neighb0r could not
stand the competition and has gone to
New Orleans.
That the boys should know when girl
says "Oh, how warm it is" it means that
she would take sherbet.

We publi-h i'm another column OF
this issue, "COtton Worm Prospects" !"
which should be carefully read by every
cotton planter. 1t gives good, reliable
and valuable information concerning
the worm; how to watch it, how to use
the poison, and when to poison the plant.
We have also made arrangement to pu-
blish "cOtton worm bulletins" which we
have no doubt will greatly interest the
! cotton planter.
The Morgan City Review says:
Messrs Pharr & Williams have during
the last food in the swamps got out 40
600 trees. This at low estimation re-
presents the respectable sum OF $4,000
and the trees when brought to the mill,
will keep them busy saving for the next
three years. Mr.. Williams, accompanied
by Capt. Kiefer. left this week to spend a
couple of months in the swamps TO mea-
sure and prepare the trees for the tow.
AT half past twelve O'Clock Tuesday
evening fire was discovered in a bed in
the residence of Mr.. Charles Guereniere,
the alarmed was sounded and the Hook
and Ladder boys whose truck is right
I,eAt door TO Mr.. Guereniere's residence
We're soon there with their truck ready
to fight the Obstructive elemen;, but for
tunately the fire was put ont withnut
their assistance and without causing
other damage than the burning OF The
bed. The cause of the fire seems mys-
terry.
An Alexandria special to the Picay-
une says: Alexandria is on boom. A
bout 500 acres of land were bought with
in a half mile of the lower corporation
yesterday for the sum of $4,000 by New
Orleans capitalists. A street car rail-
road company was organized here yes
terday; an electric light and water works
company will be organized in a few days,
and last, but not least rum0r says that
daily paper with a $4,000 stock COM
pany all be started here before Sept,
next. Other improvements are spoken
OF as in the near future.
