1t may be refreshing to
hear a brighter statement.
We have a few thousand
dollars, tied up in a suspend
ed bank. That doesn't worry
us. It's as good and as safe
as a Government bond due
in 90 Or 90 days.
We have a good deal
more in two other banks
which are as strong as the
Bank of England. We don't
owe any bank in the world
a dollar. Our bills are all
paid,
Now we don't say these
things in a boastful spirit.
We only wish to call the at
tention Of thoughtful peo-
pie to the advantages pos
sessed by this store. Every
advantage possessed by US
is a direct benefit to our Gus
toners. If we are in a posi-
ton to buy cheaper, we are
also in a position to sell
CHEAPER. That is a self-evi-
dent fact.

About RICE.

In bulletin No. 3, Rice crop, 1898,
issued July 18th, Messrs. Dan Tai
IMAGES state: seeding completed and
the crop prospecting finely, still the
fruition is dependent on a happy
conjunction in temperature, mois =
ture, and clear skies at its "taking
Off" or harvesting period. The
total acreage of the United States
is z62,5oo acres; estimated yield
10, 6e5, 900 bushels. Reports from
the Atlantic States are of satisfactory
character: acreage equal average
past decade. In Louisiana the
progress of crop has been intur-
rupted by dry weather in many
localities, but by recent widespread
and continuous showers the plant
has nearly recovered, every seperate
seeding showing to relative advan
tage.. They note a counter current
against the culture of Sugar Cane
and that rice is the chosen crop:
due to the fact that the latter is an
nual, cheaper, and sure, while ca ne
larger reward is an exotic; requires
time to establish; is more expensive
to cultivate; is attended with greater
risks and perils on account of being
an exotic and always liable to add
verse National legislation. Planters
are also acting more independently,
borrowing little and many altogether
refuse advances against their crops,
claiming it is better to make less
crop and own it, than make larger
one and have it owned by or under
the control of another. There is a
considerable amount of old crop
still on hand but the general deter
mination is to hold all of desirable
character for enhanced values which
are expected to follow improved
monetary conditions.

SPECIAL NOTICE.
TO Attorneys, Administrators and
litiQantS.
WE MUST GET TOGETHER

It can serve no useful purpose to
hide the fact that the people of La
fayette are not working with that
unity and fxedness of purpose that
achieve results.
Every one, we believe, is fully
alive to the needs of the town, and
have, in the main, the desire to see
the town get those needs. But
some how we can't get a harmonious
pull.
In the mean time opportunities
are escaping from us. This won't
do.
Lafayette has had several tow
lines out. They have either parted,
or there were not enough willing
hands to hold fast and pull in, and
consequently several opportunities
that would have enhanced the pros
perity of the community, to a Ger
tain extent, have drifted away.
It would be loss of time and
space to recapitulate.
The people of Lafayette might
as well put on their thinking caps
and look the situation square in the
face, and ask themselves seriously ::
Is the progress and prosperity of
the town such as her magnificent
situation and resources entitle
her
BY little personal sacrifice and
a willingness to put shoulder to
the wheel, would the town not be
higher in the scale of prosperity
And if she is not OCCUPYING the
position that she should, that her
natural advantages intended that
she should, who is to blame?
Around us we have seen what
civic pride and a perfect accord
among the people have accom-
plished.
Is the example worth emula ting ?
If SO, get kogefAe>.

A Conference.

The Gazette was pleased to meet
Thursday DR.. H. P. Guilbeau, who
informed us that with Mr.. Charles
Babin, they had been appointed a
committee by the citizens of Breaux
Bridge to meet a committee of the
Business Mems Association of this
place, and both committees in a
body would hold a conference with
Mr.. Kruttschnitt, the superintendent
of the Southern Pacific railroad
company with view of talking over
the building of a railroad branch
between this town and Breaux
Bridge. The Gazette tried to get
the details of the conference but it
was thought best, for very good
substantial reasons, it is claimed, to
withhold all mention of what took
place.

obtain absolutely no consideration.
If the road is necessary for public
traffic personal representation to
Mr.. Alfred Delhomme Police Juror,
of the ward on petition addressed
to the Police Jury at its next sitting
will certainly receive prompt and
considerate attention. Let the mat
ter be presented fairly and squarely
before the Police Jury and if Hum
bugger doesn't get that mule colt
of his he may then 60 out and per-
form the Judas Iscariot act. OF
course the public are not concerned
in the retty grievances of every dis
gruntled individual but as Humbug-
ger propose a revision of the road
laws and offers some valuable sug-
Sc i;ions as to taxation, road notices,
etc. it might be we'll for him to ap-
pear before the constitutional COM
mittee soon to convene and give
them the benefit of his advice as
we'll as to relate that very funny
mule colt anecdote. Give us an
other next time friend Humbugger.

Will BEAR "TEST-
eating.

In a neighboring town, some days
since, The Gazette's attention was
most forcib1y, at the same time
pleasantly, fixed upon the splendid
been recently worked. One street
ID particular, extending along dis
fance of nearly half mile, was strik
jn&ly noticeable by its evenness-
from the centre it sloped down to
the curb preserving uniformity in
: manner that, perforce, arrested
the attention. All of them, were
beyond any doubt, the best worked,
The Lafayette gazette. [volume] (Lafayette, La.) 1893-1921, 1893-07-22

and promise the best practical re-
suits, of any streets that we have
heretofore seen.
The stretch of half-mile worked
street, noticed above, was put in its
present fine condition at an expen-
diture of just SIG, not considering
the machine, the amount being paid
for labor and team. One of the
other sDreets, of about the same
length, worked two years before by
the old methods of ploughing, spad-
ing, shoveling, dirt barrow's, etc. !,
and which gave for less satisfac-
tory results, had cost the corpora
ton $3.50.
The road machine, used by the
corporation to-day, and which we
have seen gave the very best results,
is very simple in construction, with
detachable parts. Any angle
wanted can readily be secured by
simply moving the adjustable screws
and the blade can be moved beyond
the wheel SO as to'reach and touch
the curbing. 1t is strongly built,
and its parts are interchangeable.
The authorities of the town of which
we write are much pleased with it's
workings and feel they have found
the solution to the question of how
to keep the streets of town in good
practicable condition. Consider
ing that this machine has been
tested in clay land and given such
good satisfaction, it should certain
ly, in The Gazette's judgment, give
the very best results in sandy loan
land, such. for instance, as the
streets of Lafayette.
The cost of this machine is be-
low $500. And to investigate it's
claims would cost but little, if any,
thing.

Where Are the Jetties {?

vVASAS al = SAS >ySSSASSs
mr.. E1if0,,-A luminous contri-
butor to the columns of the Adver-
tiser of July IS, in an article under
the caption of ''Outlets," says:
that the son,e< of the stream
which has been clogged up with the jetties
and SO forth, is utterly incapable of carrying
the restless volume to the sea.
Would it not be wise to send a
copy of that article to the stped-

so that they may know the location
of the jetties -? AS long as they re-
main ignorant of this fact, their ef-
forts will be futile, and the s'expen-

will be of no benefit to the people.

On the fourteenth, the patriotic
Frenchmen Of Carencro celebrated
with great enthusiasm the annivcr
sary of the fall Of the Bastile. With
a Frenchman, there is no adversely,
and no prosperity that can destroy
that great and glorious love Of
Mother Country, the feeling that
predominates in every patriotic
heart. The fourteenth Of July is to
them, what the "4th" is to the
American. Itmarks the anniversary
Of the day that brought freedom and
happiness to noble, if downtrodden
~1a of 81
events in history that taught the
people their power, which they were
not slow in exercising. Is there
anything surprising in our French
population celebrating day that
meant so much to their race 1914
years ago.
The celebration was a great sue
cess and heartily enjoyed by those
who were present. The grand stand
of the race track formed a most adj
mirable place for the spreading of
the feast, which was of the very best.
There was perfect good fellow
ship pervading all present, and
gaiety reigned supreme. Prof. l..
Tappissier, delivered very brilliant
address, citing the reasons that con-
trolled the French, and prompted
them to assert their rights. 1t COW
cred every point of interest and kept
his hearers spell bound during its
delivery. He concluded with
eulogy on America and Americans
which was received with rounds of
applause. Doctors F. w. Courtney,
J. P. Francez, and w. w. LESLEY,
and Messrs Bedau and Albert Guidry
made a few remarks appropriate to
the occasion. After each address
the great gun would "boom" forth
a salute, and taken it altogether it
was very successful and pleasant
celebration.

Humbuggery of Hum bugger.

@1|. A@NfEC/-AA yOu1 last issue
an article appeared signed by one
"Humbugger" setting forth in rath-
er pettish and Peevish language sew
eral complaints against the Police
Jury, Grand Jury and District At
torney, and the present system of
road laws. With one fell stroke of
the pen, :tHumbugger" has solved
the road problem, indicted the par
ochial authorities for negligence in
the administration of public affairs
and inflicted upon a suffering and
suffocating public the narrowing de-
tails of ."mule-colt" story. The
sad disappointment experienced in
early life has doubtless SO obscured
or narrowed Humbugger's mental
vision that he can scarcely view men
and things other than through his
''six-inch lane" So puerile and
pessimistic is the spirit Of the article
in question that but for one most
ridiculous and preposterous charge
no attention would be justified.
s.Mr. Arceneaux went before the
lawmakers asking them to have the
road opened, the result was they
laughed at him." Humbugger adj
mits right upon the heels of this
charge that whenever he spoke to
the lawmakers he railways had a
good zso,-d, but no road opened"
No fair-minded man would make SO
gross and unjust charge against a
body composed of right, sober
minded and reasonable men, all of
whom, with one exception, are of
mature years and experience. The
Police Jury, on the contrary, has
accorded to every person who ever
came before them the most respect
full and considerate attention, even
when private and personal interests
were involved rather than matters
of public concern.
The writer has attended every
session of the pres ent Police Jury
since it's organization in 1888, and
can truthfully say that no such I'M
seemly conduct as "laughing at
him" ever disgraced its legislative
deliberations. The gentlemen who
constitute the Police Jury may have
their quota Of human weakness and
but that they ever ri
diculed an officer or citizen who ap-
peared before them, for the presen-
tation of any serious business prop
osition, is SO utterly preposterous
that had Humbugger reflected
moment he would not have made
such a statement.
Taking for granted that Humbug-
ger represents the people of the 1st
to is a public road and that the
Police Jury continues 'sto laugh at
him" would not the natural conclu-
sion, of the entire matter be that
the stgods help those who help them
selves7 Mr.. Arceneaux's duty as
roadoverseer at the time, was to
proceed under the law, and remove
all distractions to the road in ques-
ton. But Humbugger and others
will wait in vain for the parish
authorities to intermeddle in private
and personal disputes over surveys
boundary lines etc. between neigh
bors. 1t appears very singular in
deed that petition of some fifty
citizens should be addressed to so
many different authorities and yet

is composed of men who know how
to go about accomplishing a thing
when they want it. They talk very
little, but work like beavers. Once
more, ''keep your eyes in this direc-

it Is really not our fault. Our peo-

who was there Is ever likely to forget that play.
Mr. Mantell was the talk OF the clubs that
night, and OF the town and country next morn
Ing.
There was, however. too much talk
OF Loris and not enough of Fedora, and
Fedora thought it would be a good
plan TO hunt up another reading man.
SO Loris became Gilbert Vaughn in Hugh Con-
ways Called Back" the following season, but
the following season Fedora was prevailed
upon by the public opinion to taxa Loris back
at an Increase Of salary. MIR. Mantell was the
only Lors worthy OF the part. The next year
Mr.. Mantell started out in Mr.. kellers "Tan-
gled Lives" He next got play called "Mon-
bars" For five years he was starred in mon
bars. "Corsican Brothers," marble Heart"
"Othello." Hamlet" LADY OF Lyons" and
"Romeo and Juliet" aud he played the leading
rart in "DokOlar' at the opening OF the Lyceum
Theater. ,

teresting than ever. and THE Face in the

will carry him higher In the esteem OF the
