This meeting of the representative
men of the State can not fail to be
productive of much good. 1t will
be no task for them to prepare
a statement, which by the recital OF
actual facts must prove attractive to
the home seeker as WE'LL as to the
capitalist.
Louisiana is practically a new
country with soil of great fertility,
vast areas of which have never been
cultivated;a climate the most health
full and genial, both furnishing in
ducements and opportunities that
will be accepted; besides, lands are
cheap, productiveness considered,
very cheap. And the immigrant
who is in search of just such con-
ditions, when apprised that such
exist will not be slow to avail them
selves of them.

ished will be q striking monument
to the intelligence aud enterprise OF
the people. For the building of this
magnificent temple of learning the
people went down into their pockets
and contributed the handsome sum
of $500, and this amount was in
creased by generous donations from
the Police Jury and City Council.
Every thing is paid up on the build
ing, and there is yet some $50 or $40
to the cred1e of the old fund, and
besides $50 lately donated by the
Police Jury and City Council and
turned over to the treasurer.
The Gazette firmly believes that
in few years Lafayette will be able
to show more and better schools
than any parish in the State, and
will afford as fine an opportunity to
obtain an education as any place in
the older States, and will earn the
claim of having more schools to
the population and area than any
other county in the United States.
We shall speak of the town pri.
vate schools in a future article.
