 HEAR not a few growls at the mon- strous cowbell that heralds the approach of the last car at night. But, then, some folks always will kick. The car mule, intent on getting over with his work, is, at the time specified, quite alert, the driver encourages him with the whip and the outfit whoops through town like an express train, carrying un- rest to many head and causing pro- fanity that might be avoided.

IN response too inquiries as to the derivation of the naming of the settle ments of the valley present the follow ing glossary:
 Ph9nix-The Phoenix was fabulous bird of antiquity, which had allotted as it's span of life hundred years. When the century drew near to it's close the bird made for itself funeral pyre and igniting this was lost in the surrounding flames. But, when the dissolution vas complete, ,out from the ashes sprang into the air rejuyenated and glorious Phe- nix, with renewed strength to again live through the hundred years. The name would suggest town that had passed through an ordeal of fire, but such is not the case. Phoenix has had no gen eral conffagration and the name was chosen simply for it's beauty.
 Tempe-ln the palmy days of Greece the Valley of Tempe was famed as the home of pastoral delights. Athenian poets sang in its honor odes of beauty that are read to this day. The. vale is located on the Ionian peninsula, not far from Athens.
 Kyrene-Some time back in the mist of history, party of Phenicians sailors founded on the northern cost of Africa a settlement. They named the country Cyrenaica and their town Cyrene. This name will be recognized as the original of Kyrene. Along in the time of reli- able history Cyrene became the great city of Carthage and by the ruthless Roman, was eventually leveled to the earth and the blow run among the ruins.
 Mesa-Is simply the Spanish for table" So named from being situated on table-land.
 Lehi-The name of one of the abo- riginal Mormons.

move Of the farmers, to strike at the
wire trust in limiting the strings of
of wire required by law to constitute
a lawful fence to three strings and a
plowed ditch, was the best move made
by the farmers alliance" Such were
the expressions of the president of the
Parish Union, when the resolution came
before the last meeting, where it was
unanimously carried. 1t is now his
duty to see why the wishes of the
majority of the farmers of the parish
are to be ignored by those appointed to
see to their interest. | am not posted
as to the action of the1 police jury to
that effect, but it is rumored here that
they have ignored the petition. The
farmers alliance have members in the
police jury, and we know that they are
men to see whether the interest of

A party Of Northern capitalists
have been quietly operating for some
time 10 this section, securing right
of way, monied and landed subsidies
to build a railroad to New Iberia.
1t 10 not ezaggerating to say they

This week they have closed ar
engagements for a large tract of land
at Perry's Bridge, which will be the
terminus of the road. Here they
will lay out q new town, whose wax
ing splendors shall cause Abbeville
to shrivel up and crumble into
nothingness.
Once a road and town are built,
the ruin Of Abbeville will follow as
surely as the wreck succeeds the

no small share of the commerce of

the advantages which obtain with
