Election of Circuit Judges.

y legislative caucus for the selection
of circuit judges was held last Tuesday
night at Baton Rouge, when the follow
! ing gentlemen were selected Firs
circuit, Hon. L. w. Sutherlin, of De,
Soto 4; second circuit, Hon. j. NJ. kcnn.
edy, of East Carroll third circuit, Hon
| w. f. Blackman, of Rapiles. On Wed
| nesday night the caucus chose the fol-
lowing: fourth circuit, Hon. James NJ
Thompsou, of st. Tammany; fifth cir
cult, Hon. Ii. d. Smith, of St. Mary
sixth circuit, Hon. Il. N. Ogden, of
Orleans. Four Of the elect were origi-
nal McEuery men, and only one of the
six was chosen without the votes of
the political friends of the great levee
governor.
The foundations were laid this week
for a residence for Miss Clara Cooke, on
Main street, adjoining the bank, and
for residence for Rev. A. puboury, to
be occupied by Prof. Greene, near the
Catholic Church. We are surely in the
midst of a building boom, unprecedent-
ed in the history of Opelousas, that
augurs we'll for our future growth and
prosperity. And probably the most
gratifying feature of this encouraging
situation is the fact that all these new
improvements are the product of home
capital. When outside capitalists dis
cover that our own people have au bid
ing faith in the future of our beautiful
town aud section, it will not he long be-
fore they will make extensive invest
ments in our midst, and thereby assist
in the development of our manifold re-
sources and reap the large profits WHICH
await the enterprlsiDg investor. Now
let us go earnestly to work and beautify
our homo surroundings, plant more
shade trees, flowers, and shrubs, im-
prove our sidewalks, embellish our
public square, establish city
park, build fine public school house,
complete our artesian we'll, and we will
have town of which any country might
we'll be proud. This is an era of pro-
yress5 let the mossbacks go to the
