Remembrance.

On the 18TH of March, St. Patrck's day
was the Rev. Father P. J. Healey's Ee.k<, ane
on this anniversary of the birth of his patron
saint, he was kindly remembered. First, the
little boys of Mrs. Bailey's school called in q
body at the presbytery to wish him many
returns of the happy day and presentd him
as token of their affection and gratitude, 9
beautiful carving set, the presentation re-
marks being made by Master Walter Donlon.
The boys were loaded down with pretty
bouquets and delicious cakes. And all told
it was most happy event.
Later a few of his personal friends pre-.
sented him with a magnificent combination
shaving cup. with the inscription, s.happy
feast.' The remarks on this occasion were
made by Master John Tierney.
1t gives much pleasure to say that
Father Healey has endeared himself to the
people in very pronounced manner, and
what is more he is fully deserving of their re-
gard and esteem. The Gazette here toasts
his health and hope the returns of the day
will follow for many, many years to come.
On this suspicious occasion the printers on
the Gazette force were not forgotten, and
for the courtesies extended desire to return
their grateful thanks.

Monday four charming young ladies, the
Misses Ida Matthew, Henriette Doucet, Re
gina Romero and Mercedes Broussard, and
Tuesday four bewitching and lovely young
ladies, the Misses Zerilda Bailey Isaure
Guidry, Alix Judice and Nellie Bailey,
favored The Gazette with most pleas
ant visits to look into the cart preservative
of all arts.'' We have not got the Office into
ship shape, but will soon, when we trust we
will be able to make the calls of the young
ladies more interesting and entertaining by
initiating them in the ''mystery" of how to
I,sint. We are>always most happy to have
the ladies call, and hope this will not be
their last visit.

The Ball.

We understand that the young people are
looking forward, with pleasant anticipations,
for the evening of the 10Th instant. On tina t
evening will take place the grand ball, the
proceeds from which will be devoted to the
High School Building fund.
The object for which this ball is given ap-
Peals strongly to every one interested in
pubic education, and the purse strings should
be thrown away for the oeeasio,s
But besides this it is pretty certain to be a
great social success, and will afford to those
attending much pleasure.
The arrangement committee, we under
stand, are leaving nothing undone to make it
the event of the season, and those who miss
it will miss treat.
Let's all go and make it what every one
hopes it will be pleasurable and financial
success.

duty of chronicling the death of Mrs. Louisa
v. Denois, wife of Mr.. Edmond Pellerin,
who departed this life on the II eth instant, at
the age of 50 years, s months and days.
The interment of the mortal remains took
place next day from the Catholic Church,
and were followed to their last resting place

Kind hearted, generous to fault, this est.
mable lady had endeared herself to a large
circle of friends, who feel sadly her demise
She was loved best by those who knew her
best, and many arc the recipients of her
kindness and generosity who will sadly miss
her.

Last Monday while a countfyman was try
my to effect a sale of some dozen eggs with
our merchant friends across the way, and ex
planning the freshness of his goods, the old
horse hitehed to the vihicle took a motion tc
go home, and he did, at very lively rate,
and the consequence of his freak was the
painting of the street, for some distance, a
very pretty yellow.
We felt quite put out Saturday by not be-
ing able to comply with the many requests
| made for extra copies of The Gazette. Al
| though we printed a large edition, one that
! we believed would cover every demand, the
supply was exhausted early in the morning.
| Fully hundred more copies would not
| more than meet the demand.
We tried last Saturday to place copy of
The Gazette in every home in the town and
parish. Possibly we may have failed in our
wish in some instances, if So we very much
| regret it, we desire that every one should
see copy of the paper, and We trust it will
be found good enough to induce every one to
subscribe. The subscription price is only
81 year.
Mr.. B. A. SALES, returned home last Sat-
urday, from a trip West, and after renal ming
few days with his family, left for other

bert, wholesale grocers and Commission 1ner-
chants of New Orleans, and, he IS, also the
State agent of the Wichita Mill Company,
of Wichita Kan, This is one of the largest
flour manufactures of the country and the
amount of -four sold by Mr.. Sales proves
the superior quality of their goods.
A little coon 'tanarchistally'' inclined, on
Wednesday last was carrying Small bundle,
and on being asked what he had in the pack
age, replied s'dynamite!'' To prove mis- as
sertion he lit a match and applied it to the
package, it did not burn fast enorgn to suit
him, SO he drew long breath, ua':l his lungs
were full, and blew with all his nigh: on the
fire, he fastened it. In the package was
gun powder, it exploded, and there came
near being one little coon less in the world.
The only injury he sustained was a pretty
badly burned face.
The Gazette calls special attention to its
correspondence from Carencro and Broussard-
Vile this week. Both letters filled with
ncwsy items and are well worth perusing.
With Oberon and others as its special writer's.
The Gazette has corps of correspondents
of whom, it is justly proud, and we feel con-
fdent that our readers will agree with us in
the statement that their contribution are
features that Enhances the value of the paper.

Editor Zofayekke Cosefk,

1t is rumored that sugar refinery is to be
established in our vicinity. Such an i'm.
provement would greatly enhance the value
Of our rolling lands, which for years past,
cotton staple. The low prices for the sea.
SONS of 1890, 1891 and 1892 had disguised
even our most industrious planters. But the
languor which had begun to creep among
ton of a refinery; the extension of branch
line from Cade station to Royville, running
through a rich and fertile district extended
switches at Duchamp station, Broussardville,
would SO much favor the cane cultivation,
that the cotton acreage would be reduced,
within the next three years, to what the
cane acreage is at present. Every farmer
and thus an era of prosperity would soon be
made to prevail in a deserving land.
The decision of Judge Allen in the Ber-
nard VS.. Hawkins case, published in The
stir among the merchants and other business
men, 1t becomes a matter of inapossibility
for them to make advances to any person
working on shares inasmuch as no guaran-
tees can be offered through which their
money would be secured. One more step
towards the abolition of the credit system.
Mr. Ed. S: Estorge and NJ. Billaud Jr. were
out visiting last Sunday
to decide last Monday, but for want of evil
dcnce it proved to be '*no case at all''
Messrs. p. b. Roy, SEVERN Leblanc and
pr. Duplex from Royville, accompanied by
Mersrs. J. A. Roy and M. Eiiiaud, were in
New Orleans the latter part of last week, at
tending to business.
Our young Druggist friend r. ]. Domn-
geaux witnessed the Hall and Fitzsirnons
fight last wednesday.
The dull season has set in. No more bust
ness; loafers are getting scarce; even whisky
day looks gloomy.
1t would be much to regret if the present
h.s tod ~,
our section, should subs;de; there being at
present two public schools and three private
schools, to which latter number one more
shall be added next month.

IN MEMORIAM.
Day dawned: within curtained room,
Filled to faintness with perfume,
A lady lay at point of DOOM

On Saturday morning, March nth, there
departed from this life lady known through
out the parish for her social qualities and
we'll as foru her many charitable deeds.
Mrs. Ed. Pellrin nee Louisa Denois, beloved
wife of an old and esteemed citizen of La
fayette breathed her last. at s,3o O'Clock,
Saturday morning last. Possessing a kind
and noble heart, being a true and sincere
Christian, and with many other sublime
virtues, she endeared herself to all classes
alike. Even when disease had laid its heavy
hand upon her, her own troubles never made
her forget the wants of others. Solicitors to
the last for the comfort and welfare of those
surrounding her, always attending to the
supervision If her household cares, she indeed
proved herself worthy of the sacred names of
wife, mother, friend. Rev. Father Forge
who conducted the funeral ceremonies paid
a most eloquent tribute to the virtues and
noble qualities of the deceased, and numer-
Gus were the sorrowing and desolate ones,
who followed the remains of the lamented
dead to their last resting place, in the Catho-
lie Cemetery.
The bereaved husband, the son Mr.. H.
Hohorst, the daughter, Mrs. F. ]. Mouton,
have the heartfelt symPathies of the entire
community. ~

A Mysterious Killing.

Last Saturday night Alcide Thibodeaux
a married man ~ years old, accompanied by
Slmon Navarro, young man IL years old
| stopped al the house of Gesnaire Breaux
living miles northeast of Rayne, and lief
there with Breaux's two daughters, stating
they were going to Crowley.
After passing through Rayne, and near
| there, they joined by crowd of s
men, and coming over into Lafayette parish,
stopped at the home of farmer named
Oscar Benoit.
From what could be learned, some of the
crowd appears to have enjoyed more favor
in the eyes of the women than the others,
whereupon the green-eyed monster took
possession of Erwin Meaux and some others
And they hatched plot to kill one of the
number; Erwin had borrowed Angus,
Morgan's (his friend) IS calibre pistol, and
later they in the yard and heard
to make threats.
Morgan standing near the door.
Erwin was few feet from him,
when shot heard, and Aug. Nor
gan fell dead with bullet hole above the
right eye.
The Sheriff heard of the killing at about
O'Clock next morning and Immediately left
for the scene, and when he reached the place
ne was informed that the killing acct.
dental. But on noticing that the pistol was
in the scabbard, and that the scabbard was
laying unbuckled the dead mans breast,
at once surmised that the tale Of accident
look decidedly dubious, and proceeded to
arrest Erwin Meaux; the arrest being made
just across the line in Acadia parish.
At the coroner's inquest but little in regard
to the true inwardness of the affair was eli
cited, the testimony given having but little
of the elements of probability, it was evident
that it was given apparently either through
fear or with a view to screen the one who
fred the fatal shot, hence the inquest was
closed with very little light thrown upon the
subject.
Sheriff Broussard returned Monday to the
scene, gathered additional evidence, which
it is thought best not to divulge presently
which led to the arrest of Alcide Thibodeaux
and Simon Navarro charged accessories
before the fact. The belief is that others
are implicated in the affair, and other arrests
may follow.
The three parties arrested are now quar-
tered in the parish jail.
Altogether it is mysterious and compli-
Gated affair.
