1t would seem as though the elemen ts,

bined and selected this town 40 tho oen-

coming from Salem, making the roads
simply impossible.
The comment that has been directed
toward the commissioners and overseers
OF the county roads for tho apathy ex-
hibited by them in making no effort to
open tho roads can hardly be construed
as complimentary toward thcir ideas Of
business.

Homicide.

very unfortunate affair took place
at Grande Pointe, this parish Sunday
last, between Armand Angel and DOmi-
niQue Leblanc, in which the latter was
killed. The particulars we could obtain
of this sad difficulty are about as follows:
Saturday morning Leblanc had diff
Guilty with a young man, cousin Of
Angel, but nothing of serious nature.
Sunday morning Leblanc armed him
self and showed his weapOn-a revolver
to Mr.. Jamba Angel who knew nothing
of LeBlanc's difficulty with the yOnng
man, and went on his way. Leblanc
then met brother of the young man
with whom he had difficulty and had
some angry words with him. but the
young man being so much younger than
Leblanc. took everything and did not
show fight. He all at once turned to
young Armand Angel and in an angry
tone asked him what he had to say in
this affair, to which Angel replied no
thing, he said he knew nothing of the
difficulty and did not want to have any
thing to do with it. This infuriated Le-
Blanc who attempted to slap Angel in
the face, but he parried his hand and was
not hurt and another blow came toward
his head, Angel then advanced to defend
himself when Leblanc pulled a revolver
from his pants pocket, but in his excite
ment got the revolver by the wrong end I;
at the same time Angel seeing his life in
danger, knowing that Leblanc would
kin him, pull out his revolver and fred
at his adversary, missing him the first
time but the second shot proved fatal
as Leblanc fell to the ground a dead
man.
The several persons who witnessed this
unfortunate affray say that Angel acted
in self defense.
Leblanc had killed a man named Louis
COurville in Grande Pointe some 12 years
ago, and to avoid arrest had escaped
and gone to Texas, returning about a
year ago.
Mr.. Angel after the killing surren-
dered to Deputy Sheriff A. H. Guilbeau
who came here with him, made an affi-
davit against him and jailed him.

day the 18th of March, the Firemen's day
their anniversary dinner. They gener.
ally on that day make process
sion, but as we have no brass band in
this town and no mnsic could be had
they decided to pass over that part of the
programme and gave only the dinner
which took place at Eve o'clock in the
evening,
The members were we'll disposed, full
of gayety, had good appetite and did
honor TO the numerous eatables which
were elegantly spread upon long table
in the spacious hall of the hotel. The
wines and liquors were the very best
but what seemed to please the younger
members the most, were the pretty
young ladies who waited on them and
so well satisfied their taste.
Several tOasts were made and some
comic songs were sang. and most hap.
by and enjoyable times was spent.
Hon. c. Harrison, our Mayor, and the
sponsor of the beautiful Eyangeline, and
the members Of the local press were the
invited guests.

The freeze Of Saturday and Sunday
has caused very serious injury to the
crops and gardens. The cane, corn and
all other plants and gardens are killed

Orthers claim in some places the cane is

lieved by many. Some planters will cut
their corn and replant Many sugar

therefore Franklin received gentle blood in
his veins from both the author and the Au-
thoress OF his being.
Franklyn attributed his present rather
humble position in life to the fact OF his
father having deserted his mother and left
her with the family on her hands while he
cruised about the Mediterranean in his own
yacht and attended the ambassAdoriAl re-
ceptions of the principal capitals OF Europe.
The malignant tongue Of slander. which
does not even respect the descendants Of
the thieves pirates, Adventurers, and gem
eral scum of the Continent which enlisted
under the Norman Dukes banner, hinted
that Captain FeAtherHeight was only al eX-
captain of Militia, and that having run
through few thousands which he inherited
from distant relative he became traveller TO
q Continental firm Of wine merchants, which
accounted for his long absences in foreign
parts. And the same tongue absolutely de-
med the existence OF the yacht
The reason OF the separation between hus-
band aud wife was faithfully recorded in the
annals OF the poliee-courts. The separation
was Judicial one, ana arose from habit the
captain had possibly inherited from Nor
man Ancestorl Of backing his wife'S eye, and
using language to her which, in spite Of
his Norman origin. Was unmistAkably saxon.
