We have been told that two young
men, the Thibodeaux Bros, living
some ten miles north of this town, on
the east side of the bayou, have built a
small sugar house TO make syrup, that
is remarkable in its construction,
and almost astonishing in its produc-
tion. The rollers are small horse
power mill that was bought, we believe
at a cost of $45. The kettle or pan is
home or plantation made, the bottom
of the pan is sheet iron, and sides and
partitions are made of wood. The fur
mace is made entirely of mud, and this
establishment is making just as nice
and good syrup as can be made in any
sugar house. Two tons of cane give
about one barrel of syrup which is sold
for $l5, which give them large profit.
This model sugar house makes from 3
to A barrels of syrup day, and two
men can run the whole thing, and yet,
have an easy job. The expense of fuel
is very light. We congratulate the
Messers Thibodeaux on their industry
and energy, and the success with which
they have met.-St Martinville Mes

immigration and education are the
two most important subjects of gen.
eral nature that present themselves to
the people of Louisiana for coDsidera-
tion at this time and yet majority of
those most interested in them seem to
take little or no interest in either. No.
thing within the bounds of reason
would develop the resources of the
State more rapidly, more certainly and
to greater degree than the settling of
thousand or two immi grant families
of the right kind in each parish and
no investment could possibly be made
that would yield greater and safer re-
turns than one that would secure to the
youth q good education. No thinking,
fair mined man will deny these state
ments; and yet it has proved an impos-
sibility to get the people, with the ex-
ception of those Sn South west Louisi-
ana, to take concerted and effective
action on either OF both of them. How
long this feeling of apathy will continue
cannot be fo1eteld; but the longer it
does, the slower viii the car of pro-
gress, move and the more general and
more dangerous will illiteracy become.

Y TEMPTING SCHEMI III
The Question of Christmas
Present Solved in a New
and Unexpected Way.

In the United States the
friends of free silver made a
brave fight at the last election;
they demand that the govern
ment should coin silver in the
minis, and make it a legal ten
der for the amounts. This
demand of the silver men was
taken up by either of the two
great parties, and it is not
likely that the United States
will ever adopt a double
standard. But down in Ha-
wall things are different.
There is a scheme on foot to
furnish free silver for general
use. In these hard times, this
will be welcome news, indeed,
and doubtless large number
will avail themselves of the
opportunity.

The Yost
WRITING MACHINE.

Years ago Mrs. Yost, built type
writer, the Remington No. 2 and
Caligraph which were good enough
then. But the family has increased
by thousands. Other folks have
hitched on extensions to hold 'em.
But it's the same old typewriter,
same ribbon, same scales, same
rickety print. We want something
modern, and we get it in the NEW
YosT, which rises superior to the
difficulties of any ribbon machine.
The ribbon blurs print. wears full
of holes, clogs type, takes power to
pull it along, weakens manifolding
and costs So or $40 a year. Our
ink pads outlasts twenty ribbons.
Can be changed in ten seconds, and
costs less than So year. And as
to permanent alignment the YosT
is the only machine which accom-
plishes this much desired feat.

4 PrOsy Poem.

An exchange remarks: A hum
bic boy with shining pail went
gaily singing down the dale to
where the cow with the brindle tail
on the clover did regale. A bum
blebee did gaily sail over the soft
and shady vale to where the boy
with the shiny pail was milking
the cow with the brindle tail. The
bee lit down on the cows left ear,
her heels flew through the atmos-
phere. and through the leaves of
the chestnut tree the boy scared on
to eternity.

IN CONCLUSION.

The distribution of silver
ware will continue during the
holiday season, but every day
sees q reduction in staple
goods and the number of bar
gains is less as time goes by.
Be wise, and visit FisheFs es-
Enlistment, and participate in
the free silver" policy.

WHAT 1T MEANS :?

Possibly the reader is be-
coming impatient and wants to
know what it is all about, any
way. 1t seems that one Of our
retail merchants secured a
large invoice of silver goods;
as he is not in the jewelry bus
mess, but is only interested in
dry goods, he concluded to
give his customers the benefit
of his stock of silver. To be
plain, he proposes to furnish
Christmas presents in a novel
way that should be very TAX
ing. Those who purchase goods
to the amount of $3.50 are
entitled to a present of some
article of silverwarc. For cash
$3.50 expended, present can
be had without further cost.

MORE INDUCEMENTS.

As a further concession to
hard times, the whole stock of
dry goods is being sold at a
sensible reduction from usual
rates. Everything is to go,
and to go without reserve.
With the low price, and the
silver inducement, it is natural
to suppose that business would
be brisk, and so it is at Fishel's.

that it is unbecoming, what awful tor,
iturc is the thought of wearing that hat
day in and day out until new season
brings relief. And it's very hard to tell
how hat is going to turn out. Some
times the shape may be very pretty I'M
trimmed, and yet the finished hat may
turn out a regular nightmare, and some
times the combined colors look very
pretty when they are punched together
in the hand, and 10! when arranged
in proper form on the frame, the effect
is the most insipid and characterlcss
that can be imagined. Avoid, above all
things, oh, woman! an insipid hat.
Rather have it too striking than have
it tame, for the tendency of the day is
toward brilliant and startling effects,
and the quiet unassuming combina-
lions are decidedly old. This does not
mean, however, that there must neces-
sarily be gorgeous coloring, for many of
the most exquisite and attractive hats
are those made all in one color and in
one shade of that color.
1t is truly bcwildering task to Sc
lect n hat this season. The fashions
have not fairly settled yet, and it is
hard to say which will come out vic
torious. There are multitudinous shapes
to be seen at prescnt-tlat ones with
tiny crowns that one can scarcely see;
other fiat ones with crowns that reach
almost to the edge of the brim; wide,
dropping ones with genuine stovcpipe
crowns; medium-sizcd ones with Tam
OShanter crowns; big brims poke
shaped; big brims that turn bacl-all
sorts of shapes and sizes. The stove
pipe ones are, in my opinion, ut least,
the uglicst of all, and it is earnestly to
be hoped that they will not become the
rage. But, in spite of their ugliness,
greatly fear that Dame Fashion has
marked them for her own
Almost all of the shapes are made of
fancy straw. This fancy straw is sold

posed to economic, and have n shape
from last year that is still good and not
much behind the times, it can be made
very presentable by cdging it with this

Streamers are bscoming more and
more audacious. There is positively no
limit to their cffrontery. They are

Black hats are not very popular this
year, although they are quite effective
ly trimmed altogether in pale yellow.
Guipurc lace is brought into play very
often. 1t should be remembered that
its quality must be very fine to produce
soft results.
Here is queer and original hat:

ing up all over the hat. The straw is
trimmed with three yellow pompons
made of narrow velvet love-knot ribbon.
The rim is turned up off the face ut one
side and one of the pompons placed
there; another Is just at the same spot,
but inside the rim; the third stands up
Mt the back. They are connected by fine
black lace, which rises and falls in
graceful lines. The hat has no stream
ers; the lace falls down few inches at
the back, that is all.
