BE Prompt or Won Will he

AT the sssion Of the Legislature
lin 1886 a Lw was enacted granting
relief to tB wounded and disabled
| Confederate soldiers of the State of
| Louisiana, and to the widows Of
soldiers killed in battle or who have
died sincethe war from wounds or
disease contracted while in the SER
vice. TIL act in question is known
as Act No l16, and provides that
persons coming under its provisions
may recei'e 100 acres of State land,
provided DUPLICATION be made there.
for within FIVE years from the pas
sage Of ths act. On the Both day
of the preent month the Eve years
will expirs, therefore if there are
any entithd to the benefit of this
legislation who have not already re-
ceived the same should make due
proof and file their claims with the
Register Of the Land Office without
delay. To the case Of a disabled
soldier it is necessary that three
comrades make affidavit to the fact
that they knew the applicant as a
soldier and know of the time and
manner Of receiving the wounds.
In the case Of widow whose bus
band was killed, the afidayits of
but two comrades are necessary.
There are, no doubt, many persons
entitled BY Act 1f6 to a land war
rant who have delayed making APP
plication for same, and unless they
do SO during the next fifteen or
twenty days they will be forever
barred unless the State should make
further provision hereafter Baton

The Alliance Meeting.

On Monday, the sturdy yeomanry
Of our parish assembled in fall force
at Perry's Bridge to attend q mass
meeting of the Farmers Alliance.
The meeting was held in q pretty
grove on the edge Of town. Not
being able TO attend until q late
hour we are unable to give a very
extended account of the affair.
A stand had been erected in
the grove and ample seating
room provided by means Of tempo
rary benches, thus enabling every
one to be comfortable.
The meeting was called to order
at 1890 a.. M. by Hon. Howard
Hofpanir, who introduced r. F.
Broussard, Esq, Of New Iberia, who
delivered an eloquent and stirring
address, showing in a plain and for.
chile light the iniquities OF that
monster evil, the Louisiana State
Lottery Company.
W. w. Minor spoke in an enter
tanning manner on the object and
aims of the alliance.
District Attorney M. 7. Gordy
followed in spirited speech, he held
Up 10 to scorn and ridicule the at
tempt Of the lottery company to cor.
rups and pollute the voters Of the
Stale. His burning words aud apt
illustrations were received with APP
planse.
BAIL Broussard, a prominent far.
mer, spoke in French concerning the
beneficial results in flow from the
Alliance Association, and ronndly
scored the lottery gang for their
pelnicious and dangerous doctrines.
After the conclusion of these re.
marks a short recess was taken for
dinner which was served in the APP
proved picnic style.
Dinner over, repeated calls again
brought out Mr.. RI. Broussard who
delivered to his admiring audience
"a ringing appeal.
Mr.. Minor then read a paper on
in the South, which had
been prepared by a southern lady.
DR.. j. B. Ramsey followed with
discourse on the evil Of the lottery
and deprecated the third party
movement as one calculated to des-
troy white supremacy.
At the conclusion Of Dr.. Ram
sey 5 address the glee club sang
Good bye, my Party, Good Bye and
the large audience quietly dispersed,
every one feeling that much better
for having attended and laid aside
for a day the cares of farm life.

D. G. David, OF Vile Platte, St.
Landry parish, in a letter to the
editor of the New Orleans Issue
gives the following interesting state
ment.
Senator %. G. Duson bought
$4,000 acres of land from the R. R.
Co. Much of this land is improved
some sections well improved. The
grant was made conditionally, upon
the building Of the road within a
certain time. The time expired long
ago, and not a shovel of dirt moved.
/ understand that settlers are wild
with excitement. I will shortly give
them a call. I have had long talks
with them. / am on intimate terms
with Robertson, III. G., and had his
promise to investigate and take up
the case for the settlers. Duson Is
Robertson principal supporter
mere. l never vote. 1 Regard III as
the acme of folly to stake cur free
dom on the result Of an election.
Sticking bits Of paper into a hole
decides nothing. My belief is that
Robertson pooled with Duson.
There are thousands of cases like
this, and my opinion Is that the
festive land grabber is doing very
much more than the free soiler to
hasten matters. | can go behind
Duson, and stir the pagans, when but
for him and bis kind my words
would fall on deaf ears.
Tell the men when they strike, to
strike for the earth--the heritage Of
the race.

of manner and womanly grace, has
endeared herself to this community
where here fathers distinguished in.

and recognized.
Directly after the ceremony DIR.
Hunt took the train for New Or.

To-day the MERIDIoNAL turns the
second third of a century in its Chez
quered existence. Having survived the
shock ofthe war, the trials of reconstue-
ton, and the reverses of private mis-
fortunes the old journal which has been
identified with this parish almost since
its formation which has witnessed the
old pioneers pass away one by one, and
their children grow gray, catches inspi-
ration from the past and girding up its
loins afresh starts out on its thirty
fourth round, with renewed energy.
Thanking our friends and patrons for
their substantial encouragement and
many words of good cheer, we shall en-
deavor to merit their continued appro-
val and give the parish the best local
paper it has ever known.

Quite a touching incident is tele.
grapbed from Scettsboro, Ala. An
OK wagon came into town having
in it two occupants, two old men,
one white and the other black, their
destination being the county poor
house. The white man was known
as old Uncle Mack Martin, once a
man Of much property, now decrepit
without friends or home. The old
negro was Martins former slave and
trusted coachman. They have,
hand in hand, together passed life's
rugged highway. So long as either
could work he shared the fruit Of
his toll with the other, but it came
at last when neither was able to
make . living SO they 60 to the

The parties alleged to have been
implicated in the stealing Of old
man Henry Chase's money, 100000
or more, have experienced many
vicissitudes, owing to the extreme
ardor Of our worthy Sheriff Brous.
sard, who arrested and re-arested
the whole party several times, and
finally brought them before Judge
O.. G. Mouton, who released all mp
on $4,000 bond each, end fixed the
preliminary examination for to-day,
June 18th. The Sheriff doubted
the Jurisdiction of the Justices Of the
Peace, and this caused much annoy
ance to the parties and confusion to
the officers.

Mr. Bateman started in business lie had an office In the
Corcoran Building and his one OF the leading
firms iii the city.
Mr. Btteman has been an extensive dealer in real
estate here, especially in the suburbs. Several years
ago he became interested in property along the Tcney
town Road and built the Woodey Inn. lie was also
mart owner Of the subdivision OF Fairview, and in adj
dtion he owned three interests in the property along
Massachusctts-ave. extended controlled by syn
