Major Thompson, United States
Engineer who recently made an
examination of Bayou Vermilien,
has decided to recommend that the
bayou be cleaned out in order that
navigation could proceed without
interruption to Lafayette. This will
prove a decided benefit to the resi-
dents of that section of the State, as
they will be then able to run daily
boats from Lafayette, connecting
with the railroad at that place and
giving Abbeville the advantage Of a
more rapid and direct method OF
communication with the rest of the
State. It will also prove the means
