The Lafayette gazette. [volume] (Lafayette, La.) 1893-1921, 1893-04-08

To give our readers An idea Of the incon-
venience Of present conditions, we need only
mention one single instance: The editor Of
this paper received a telegram Monday from
St. Martinville. The telegraph Office
blank shows that it came via New Orleans,
in face of the fact that this town is only
twenty odd miles from St. Martinville, while
New Orleans 10 IA miles. Now with the
telephone line in the circuit with her neigh
bors, we could have talked over . matter of
some importance, and despatched it in a few
minutes, at a much less cost, and without the
unnecessary task and time involved in its set
Element by the present mode.
The Gazette had its tow line out for this
line, and is happy to state that it did not
part. And now, The Gazette feels that it
has a right to extend its hand and shake
with the people over the near realization of
a very useful adjunct to their convenience,
as we'll as q saving to their purses.
