lShe0 L2fayeete~-SOme months ago
the attraction in the form of q
proposition, that, coupled with what
Kind Nature haf done for this high
ly favored country, and the '.boom''
began to grow. In Mr.. Leslie's
proposition every man who favored
it began congratuling himself on the
glorious prospect before the city.
Coincidently appeared coadventu-
rer-a professional boomer cross
between the ''greatest show on
earth" and a political barbecue But
it is a waste of time and space to go
into details-they are known. Well,
we have experienced the sequel fol-
lowing the tsboom" and we are now
reaping the whirlwind of reaction
that resulted.
But it served one good purpose
1t has tended to make us rely more
upon ourselves. Consequently when
feeting chance that promised to
connect us with sister town passed
by, Others we grasped at it with
the eagerness of a drowning man for
a straw. But, we are panied to say,
it begins to dawn upon The Gazette
that what appeared as a rainbow
full of promise is but an ssirredes-
cent dream" and in this we are sup
ported by the trend of events From
a source that we have no reason to
question, it has been stated that the
Southern Pacific officials will in no
wise interfere with the plans of Mr..
Knapp and his associates, and one
of those plans, it is declared, is to
have two outlets, one at Carencro
and the other at St. Martinsville !;
therefore assuming our information
to be correct, and as we said, we
have no reason to doubt its correct
ness, Lafayette and New Iberia
might as well pucker up their lips
and whistle, insofar as those contem-
plated railroads are concerned.
Now, we know it is totally bey-
ond the power of the people them
selves to build this road, and even
that the railroad compa-
ny would be willing to extend help,
conditions are such that years must
elapse before work thereon could be
undertaken hence, considering
these facts, would it not be far bet
ter to let go and concentrate our
efforts on an enterprise that we can
and inside of twelve months, one
hat will put thousands of dollars !
more in circulation in our city? The
Gazette's faith in the ultimate cree
ion of a refinery near town has new
er wavered. 1t has been, lately, in |
from conversations heard, |
and of which we will speak in a flu
ure issue.

third tried on the charge and the third
acquittal. Among attorneys It was fsit
that the plea decided upon In O'Don-

of the sealed envelope containing the
all-important document was painfully

court hastily broke the seal and read;

o'Donnell drew long sigh Of relief
while his face flushed with pleasure.
The murmur of approval that sounded
through the court room was quickly
hushed and the jury was dismissed
O'Donnell, who was still standing IN

his embrace, while the tears that welleo
