NOTIGEl

To the friends and patrons of the ST. LANDRY
CLARION.
The Board OF Directors of the ST. Landry
Printing and Publishing Company, Limited
regrets to have to announce that their en-
tire plant, including their building printing
press, type, cases, furniture, lists of sub
scribers, account books, files, stock of pa
fire on the morning of September 10th, at
q 80 a. m.
That the fire was the work of an illcendiary
and this act of incendiary vandalism was
1nstigated by malice, there is not the shad-
oW of a doubt.
Unfortunately there was no insurance on
the plant, and the loss will exceed three
nounces to the public that, though the plant
has been destroyed, THE CLARION still lives.
and Will appear this week and hereafter
without break or intermiSSiOn, and that all
contracts for advertising, official, judicial
or otherwise, will be carried out. The extra
expense, however, caused by the necessary
purchase of new material for Immediate use
Will be considerable, and In view of that
ract, and the great loss sustained, the Board
respectfully asks all subscribers and adver-
tiserS indebted to the pa per to come forward
promptly and settle their accounts. As the
list of subscribers has been destroyed, all
the subscribers are requested to send in
their names to the publisher at once, In or
der that every one entitled to the paper may
continue to receive 1t.

elnio, ho HlnhlHS people ol
this town will not accept the
charge that any slur was put
upon them by the circular OF
the Board of Directors, and no
right thinking person will try
to make such a use of that cir
cular. Every community has
in it's midst wicked and de-
praved individuals who are
only prevented from commit
ting the worst of crimes by the
fear of detection and punish
ment. The crime of arson is
most easily committed and
most difficult of detection, and
it is for this reason that it is
SO abhorred by civilized soci-
ETY. and punished capitally. It
is the misfortune of any com
munity to have incendiaries in
its midst, but not its fault.
But the object of these jour
nails is not to defend the good
name Of this community. It
needs no defense at any time
and under any circumstances
against the owners of The
CLARION who live in this COM
munity and who have as much
interest in maintaining its good
name as have the publishers
OF those journals. It would,
therefore, have been more ap-
propriate on this occasion of
misfortune and loss to the
owners Of THE CLARION if the
Courier and Democrat had
confined their comments to a
condemnation of the Wilful,
malicious and outrageous act
of incendiary vandalism that
has been committed in our
midst. It would have been a
better service to this commu-
nifty if these papers had joined
with the owners of The CLAR-
ION in warning our people
that they have a dangerous In
cendiary in their midst in or
der that the property holders
Of our town and town officials
might be stirred up to greater
watchfulness and vigilance to
protect their property from
destruction and if possible de-
test the incendiary. Instead,
however, of making this very
proper use of the incident in
question the Courier puts
aside all the above convincing
proofs of incendiariism and at
