homa BY way Of Breaux Bridge,
where they visited friends. The,
passed a most enjoyable day.
The following from the pen
of the Rayne correspondent in the
last issue of The Ranger, affords
food for meditation: s'Last week !
noticed cottan was hauled to a
gin almost in the corporation limits,
there ginned, and the cotton seed
hauled to CaFencro, twenty miles
or more away, to find a purch asar,
and while our merchants were Of
fering only on cents, cotton sold
for ~. cents 1T the place just men
toned, difference of only one
cent" Why certainly, brother,
and when a difference of one cent
means clear gain of S. per bale,
you should not be surprised that
Carencro looms up as the best cot
ton market in the parish. Our far
mers can rest assured that they will
always get the stop market" prices
for both cotton and cotton seed,
as we'll as for all their other pro-
duce. We give you our sympathy.
if you will only give US your cotton,
and you will profit thereby.
Miss Armide Guilbeau, of
Breaux Bridge, was in town this
week visiting relatives.
The good people of Breaux
Bridge, are now: in communication
with the CareneEo and Teche Rail-
road through its president, Prof. S.
A. Knapp, looking to the extension
of it's road to their town. Your cor
respondent has it from reliable au-
thority that if the Breaux Bridge
people do thei. part, which is not
SO very much, they will sure &C
complish their object. Should this
be done, there is" no doubt that a
refinery will be established there.
The Breaux bridge committee is
composed of the following inAuen-
tial and energetic citizens: Chas.
Delhommer, mayor; J. Jeanmard,
Cyp. Melancon, A. Billeaud, DR..
H. P. Guilbeau, Arthur Patin,
Judge J. o. Bourdier, p. L. Gull
beau, DR.. Arthur Guilbeau, and

Mr.. Dominique Cayret, of the
firm of Cayret & Bernard, of Mou-
tons Switch, was in in town last
Sunday.
The Sunset and Carencro base
bail clubs played very interesting
game at the church grounds last
Sunday. Owing to a disagreement
between the ..scorers" of the re-
spective teams, the game was de-
cided a draw and the purse di-
vided. AS in au.such cases neither
side was contented; and your
has been requested
to insert the following s'defi" in the
CarenCrO column:

The picnic given by the Carcn-
GRO Union Farmers Alliance was
a complete success, the members
and their guests enjoying themselves
greatly. The White Camelia Brass
Band discoursed their sweet
est music and added much to the
pleasures of the day. Hon. Julian
Mouton, who holds his own in the
hearts of the people of Carencro,
delivered a very interesting address
on the cause Of education. His
manner is always impressive, and
his arguments convincing. His re-
marks were crested with much APP
plause. President Dupuis and
Secretary c. G. Brown did all in
tn cir power to provide for the COM
fort of their guests. Hons. o. G.
Mouton and I. Broussard were pres
