the kindness of w. w. LESLEY your
| correspondents enjoyed Il pleasant
ride last Sunday to the neat and
pretty village of Scott. We passed
along a tortuous, rugged and ill
kept road, bordered on either side
by crops of cane, corn, and cotton !;
all in fine condition, and early in
the evening reached the little city.
1t required but few moments for
Totidem Verbs to realize that he
was among whole souled and
truly hospitable people; whose
kindness and attention was fully
appreciated and will long be re-
membered. The population con-
sists of energetic, enterprising and
progressive people. All the build
ings, no matter how fine or how
humble, were neatly painted or
whitewashed, and taken as a whole
presented a very nice appearance.
We visited the Southern Pacific
depot, which was tho very sspink
of neatness," and there met the
genial agent, Mr.. Mulkern, who, by
the way, enjoys among his intimates,
the expressive name of Muldoon;
which was acquired by his wonder
full ability as a wrestler, and all
round athlete. Messrs. Alcide and
Leo JUDGE, Delhomme, Breaux,
and Thomas are among the leading
citizens of the place, and gentlemen
whom it is an honor to know.
We also met and had long chat
with DR.. p. E. Girard, at one time
a resident of Carencro. We regret
that the want of space does not per-
NIT us to more fully describe the
town of Scott, and its people, suf-
member the evening SO pleasantly
passed.
Mr.. and Mrs. l.. Deliglise re-
turned home last week from long
while there visited many points Of
interest. The opening Of the bust

We are pleased to learn from Mr..
Dclis!ise that his trip was thor
oughly enjoyed.
