The Clerks Protective Union of
Iberia parish is a new organization
just launched with the avowed pur-
pose Of seeing the Sunday Law en-.
forced. They have issued an address
to the people on the subject. There
is no doubt that all reflective and
law-abiding people are becoming
restless under the bold and defiant
violation Of this law, and the time is
fast coming when the prosecutions
under it will have TO cease being a
farce as they have been ia the past.
As we have already stated. it the
law is repugnant to a majority of
the people, as is claimed by those
who violate it, let them memorabilia
the General Assembly to repeal it or
elect one representing the sentiment
of this majority. As long as it re.
mains a law, it must be respected

Many good things have been saia
ct the Fair, but none better than
this: That it was a vast work "a

scarcely less moment to trace its
growth, picture it in all its present
magnitude, and point out the paths
along which one must walk 10 order
to derive the most advantage from
it. This is the work which Hubert
H. Bancroft in his Book OF the Fair
is accomplishing. The Columbian
Exposition is a long step in Advance
of that held in Paris, four wears
ago. And SO on, back to the frat
worlds fair organized In London
over forty years ago, and back to
the local and the national fairs held
in Europe and the far East cen-
turtles ago. 1t is beautifully illus
trated, and is probably the ablsss
and most complete account Of fairs
of all kinds, from FIRST to last, ex-

Three Years Profits.

mans efforts, alone and unaided by
outside help, for the past three years.
A party whose name we are pre-
pared to give If it should be deemed
necessary, three years ago came
here and rented some rice ground.
He was from The north, and of course
had plenty to learn about the rice
business. The 6rst year he cleared,
above all expenses, $500. The Sec
ond year his profits represented
$2O55, and for the third year, 1898,
his clear gain was 1914. Thus it
will be seen that in three years he
cleared above all expenses, over
$1,000, and that on rented land.
He has bought a quarter-seetion,
which is paid and clear. All this
was done 10 Lake Arthur vicinity,
and his example. if followed intelli-
gently, is bound to produce as good
result. Tell us where a similar
profit can be made, in the north or
elsewhere, on land costing twice, or
even four times as much as land cau
be bought for here.-Lake Arthur
