Morgan City is evidently Jealous OF
her reputation as anaoyster depot; and
probably fears, that in event of her Sc
curing a railroad, Abbeyille might
push her 30 the wall on the matter of
shipping oysters. The Morgan City
Review says Lafayette Advertiser
seems to think that Abbeville, when
she secures her railroad, will wax MGR
gan City-in the oyster and fish business.
We presume Bro. Bailey remarks this
becausethe has an .afsaity fer that part
of the coantry which which he has not
for this, and also because ne labors un-
der the impression that he knows what
he is talking about; though where Alb
beVille is to get her oystcrs and fish
kinder puzzles u.s.. It may be, though,
that the praries around Vermilion pro-
duce these daHcacies in great abund-
ance, and if such is the case, why then
may be what the Advertiser says viii
prove true"

Our energetic young friend Joe Log
uenec returned home last Tuesday ev-
ening from Lexington Ky. where he has
been taking a thorough commercial
course at the University. Itis needless
to say Joe brings back a diploma and
a gold medal he captured. Our boys
are no laggards If We haven't got a rail-
road. !
