The Fontenot Style OF Retlenchment
and Reform.

The Police Jury held & session Oh
Tuesday night of last week, when the
compensation of the deputy employed
by The Sheriff to keep lcCUih OF the
time and mileage Of witnesses before
. the District Court CAME up. On the day
before, the jury had authorized the
Sheriff to employ deputy for the PM
pose, but had not fixed his compensa-
ton, Mr.. Courtney stated that he had
/ since learned that the Sheriff had been
paying Il deputy at the rate OF Sl0O ger
/ month for doing this work, and that he
understood competent men could be
/ found who were willing to do it for 500
Per month, and he suggested that the
deputy be paid at that rate, If he was
willing to accept the job on those terms,
or that he be paid at the rate of 500 per
month for the two days he had been EN-
ployed and that another man fully as
competent te employed at $50 per
month in his stead. The Sheriff was
sent for and he discounteDanced the
plan and gave no encouragement what
ever to Mr.. Courtney, and said that he
did not think his deputy would do the
work for $50 per month. The deputy
was sent for, came il with the Sheriff,
and informed the jury that he would
not do the work for $50 per month. Mi
Adelma Guidry then stated to the jury
that Mr.. Homer Gnidry, il young man
who was fully competent, would accept
that sum for the work, and asked that
he be given the job, and that The deputy
be paid Off at the rate Of 800 per mont
for The time he had been employed.
Mr.. McGee moved that the services Of
the deputy be retained at The old rate.
Before the question was put, Mr.. Boa
gni took the floor and in few brief and
pointed remarks gave his reasons for
opposing the motion. He said that the
proper course for him TO pursue seemed
very plain and clear, ond that neither
he nor his colleagues had amy more NOR
al right to pay 800 of the peoples mon
cy for services that could bc as we'll per
formed for so, than they had to pay
$50 or $50 for lumber that could be
bought for so or 80. Two criminal
terms Of cUult were held each year, he
said, and nearly 800 of the peoples
money could be saved each year by dis
The question was then put, and when
