The entertainment at the home of Mr..

Some Observations.

A Gazette man was out in Broussardville
and Royville Monday, and was pleased to
note the many improvements going on in that
section of our Parish, one thing that struck
him rather forcibly is the general prosperity
of, and feeling of hope for the future by
the people. The store keepers have large
and varied stocks of merchandise, aud APP
pear to be doing very satisfactory business.
The crops in the neighborhood, while a
little backward, owing to the recent spell of
cold we have had during the past few days.
and especially has its effects been felt by
the cane, still, as whole, the out look is
very encouraging.
The roads are in splendid condition max
ing travelling over them pleasure.
Farm operations being prosecuted
with much energy and we noted some intel
ligent GUILTY. alton in more than one place.
BY intelligent farming we mean that some of
the farmers putting in diversity Of
crops, and are not depending SO much on
single one. This is wisdom, and will pay
in the long run.
This is 4 great poultry country, nearly
every farmer has his poultry ya.a, and make
it contribute largely TO household expenses.
One lady Mrs. Albert Landry in the vici-
nifty of Broussardville, has some 600 chicks,
and a much larger number of grown chick
ems. This lady has sold as high as SIS
worth of eggs at 10 cents dozen, in one
week, and averages a very handsome
amount throughout the year. We are told
that the range is such that raising poultry
entails such little labor that it becomes .
pcasurablc recreation, besides being quite
profitable.
We also had the pleasure of visiting the
public school in Broussardville taught by oui
friend, Claude Latiolais. There is a no
| ticeable entente forsiiaGe between the chill
dren and teacher, and we are informed tina
the parents well pleased with the pro
gross made by their children.

While some of the children did little
better than others, still it would be invidious
to particularize where all did their best and
many so well, consequently we say to them
all You have done splendidly, and the ap-
probation manifested by the liberal applause
was merteCl, and The Gazette compliments
you. And deserving of the highest praise
are the ladies who SO graciously gave their
appreciated assistance, to make the entertain

At the conclusion of the dramatic enter
tainment the hall was cleared, and the young
folks indurged in the fascinating mazes of
the dance to the sweet strains of the Lafay-
cite string band, ond which lasted until adj
monished by the too hasty flight of time that
pleasure must cease and repose sought.
The whole furnished very agreeable re-

management were many, and The Gazette
takes pleasure in adding, were fully de-
