the cost of which will be $13 per month,
including monthly dues), for 81 months,
$1261 90. Total cost, $12S6,0O, amount
borrowed, 100000. Actual cost of loans
for 81 months, with the advantage of pay
ing off the loan in small monthly Install
ments, $2S5,00.
The shares will likely mature within
100 months, which would consequently
decrease the cost of the loan
The borrower pays the cost of his loan
in monthly installments. On loan of
81 900 he pays $40 per month on the
principal, and So per month for the use
of the loan. But it should be considered
that during the 81 months the borrower
has saved the payment of rent, which
would surely have amounted to greater
sum than the actual cost of the loan. The

Horrible Crime.

One Of the most horrible and revolving
crimes ever recorded in this parish, was
committed at Bayou Chene, Saturday
evening last by one Sonny MaLdoza, a
young man who shot and killed young
widow, the daughter of Mr. John Craw-

them from different sources are as fol-

young widow who was Indifferent to his
attentions. and Saturday night when at
the house OF the deceased widow, where
several persons had gathered to go to q
ball, MandoZa arrived and invited the
widow to accompany her to the ball, but
she had made previous engagement and
refused.
This must have excited the anger Of
the jealous lover. who pulled his revol
yer and said. "if you don't marry me I
will kill yOu," the woman thought ',e
was joking and paid no attention to
him. At this time calf passed by him
and he shot the calf dead. when some
one of the crowd told him to put away
his weapon or he might hurt some one
with his foOlishness. and the woman was
Just about taking the arm of her escort
and going down the stairs when another
shot was fired and the woman of his love

suspected that she was shot, but simply
thought MahdOza had shot in the air and
the woman being frightened had fallen.

that she was dead, the bullet having
struck her in the neck, breaking it and
