TO our Friends and Patrons.

We wish to call the attention of the friends
and patrons of the COURIER to the necessity
of their being on the alert, in the matter of
judicial publications, tsheriff7s sales especial
lyl, as a neglect on their part to give positive
instructions as to where they desire such
advertisement published, is apt to result in
our being deprived of the patronage that
would otherwise be given to US. The sheriff
of this parish has been making himself es-
pecially Jealous in the matter of securing
sheriffs sales for the paper of which he is
director and stockholder, and several publica-
tions of that nature have appeared in that
paper which the parties interested would
have selected to be done in the COURIER, had
they been consulted; and others have been
diverted from us at the special solicitation of
the sheriff or his deputies serving the papers
in the matter of seizures.
To those who prefer to patronize any other
paper in this parish we have no desire to in
terfere with their preferences, but our friends
who wish to favor us with their patronage
are.earnestly requested to see that the proper
officers are instructed to have the publication
done in the CoURIER-and they are especially
warned against allowing themselves to be in
duced to consent that the advertisement
should be done in some other paper.

= Dog-on Mean Trick.

Our genial townsman, L. j. Thomp-
son, ESQ, is the proud owner of beau
tiful dog of the black and tan variety,
which is very much admired by a lady
neighbor. Some time since the lady
who is noted for her refinement and
good taste, received by messenger a
neatly arranged bandbox, carefully
cushioned inside, and bearing her ad-
dress, "with compliments of T. J.
Thompson" The lady at once sur
missed that the present was the little
animal she had so much admired, and
at once proceeded to investigate. Care
fully removing the lid and sundry COW
erings of multi colored tissue paper,
she finally got to the object of her
search-but O! horror! it proved to
be II black and yellow brindle pup with
four white feet and altogether sorry
looking specimen of canine production.
We will not undertake to describe the
lady's feeling as they are probably
better imagined than described, and it
was not long before Col. Thompson
was called to account. AS the Col.
was quite innocent of any hand in the
transaction he soon cleared his skirts
of the accusation, and the next move
was to discover the guilty joker, and
after full investigation and consul
tation it was unanimously agreed
that there was but one man in Bridge
Vile who could be guilty of such an
outrage-and certain irrepressible
young man of strawberry blond COM
plexion doing business in that thriving
neighborhood, was charged with the
offense, which he did not deny.
We have heard of some of his vaga-
ries before, but we didn't think he'd
put up that sort of a job on lady.

ed to the effect that inasmnch as there

In urging the selection by the peo-
pie of police jurors, assessors and local
officers who have been for years ap-
pointed by the Governor, the Caucasian
is actuated by no captious desire to re-
lieve the present executive of his pre-
negatives. 1t is self evident, however,
that if the people have intelligence
and discretion sufficient to elect gov
ernor and officials, State aud parochial,
they are equally competent to select by
election the officers which are now and
have been appointed by the governor.
The people want change and will
have it.-[Caucasian.
"The people want change" but
whether " they will have it," remains
to lie seen. The "bosses" don't want
the change demanded by the people
and will likely exclaim again, ''the
people be id" "we will arrange
matters for them better that they can

There was performance in the Mid
way Plaisance of the Worlds Fair, the

bills. 1t appears that two Sioux
Indians, Bear Chief and Chief Petit
bone. took in the sights of the town
and returned to their village in the
Plaisance very much the worse for
whisky of the barrel house variety.
The result was row between tho two
chiefs, during which Chief Pettibone
was knocked down with club and be-
fore he could get on his feet Bear
Chief had whipped out his knife aud
scalped him. A physician was sum-
moned at once and the scalp lock was
sewed to the surrounding skin SO neat
Iy that Pettibone will be able to re-
turn to his people op the reservation

But the Roanoke killing explodes
the idea that all the Southern people
favor lynchings, aud that, accordingly,
the authorities cannot hope to prevent
them. 1t does it with emphisis, and in
two ways. The fact that the mayor of
the city could get together militia COM
pany to defend the Jail, and that the
company did not fraternize with the
mob when matters came to pinch, !,
shows that the mob did not stand for

For Our Public Schools.

The old franklin College property
in Opelousas has been turned over to a
Board of Trustees composed of Messrs.
V. X. Irion, Thos. II. Lewis and J. j.
Thompson with authority to manage
the same for the benefit of the Opelou-
sas Public Schools The buildings
and land, consisting Of about l05 ar
pents, properly managed might afford
a nice revenue, and we learn it is the
intention Of the Board to have the land
surveyed and fenced in order to be able
to rent the same, and apply the reve-
nues towards sustaining the Public
Schools of our town. AS funds will be
required for that purpose, and the
Board is without the necessary means
of putting the property in a condition
to derive any immediate benefits from
it, the public spirited citizens of our
town will doubtless be called upon to
assist the Board in getting the property
in shape to yield an adequate revenue
without unnecessary delay.
There is no doubt that the ladies OF
our town, to whose patriotic efforts we
are mainly indebted for what has al
ready been accomplished towards
bringing our languishing public schools
prominently to the front, will again
lend their valuable assistance in de-
vising ways and means to enable the
Board of Trustees of the Franklin Col
lege to make this property an impor-
tant source of revenue for public school
purposes at an early day.
