On Sunday, October 21st, there
was at the Merry Makers Hall an
Instrumental and Vocal Concert,
which proved quite a success. The
Misses Richards took quite a
prominent part; little Eleanor

Another pleasant feature of the
week, was a most enjoyable con-
cert which took place Sunday the
21st. The Orchestra deserves a
great deal OF credit for the manner
in which they rendered several
beautiful selections. Too much
praise cannot be given to Mr.. Mel
choir, of Carencro, for his excellent
rendering of the violin solo, of "Il

A delightful soiree dansante was
indulged III until the wee hours of

There was q game of base ball

Monday morning was bright and
cool, after a delightful rain of Sun
day nights; the rain was much
needed and appreciated, for cisterns
were low, and many entirely emp
ty, and the dust was perfectly fear
full everywhere.
There was service at the Presby-
terian church, OH Sunday the 18th,
by Rev. ]. R. Roy, and had very
good attendance.
The Bayou Current public school,
opened Monday the 18th, promptly
al 8 a. m, with sixteen pupils en-
rolled, the children came in with
bright and happy faces, all SEEM
ing glad to enter upon their duties
for the school session. On Friday
before, several Of the girls went to
the school house and nicely clean
ed everything, and the boys cut
and stored inside, lot of wood to
be in readiness for fire, should

We are glad to learn that Mrs.

Mrs. I'll. N. Oden and Mrs. Carrie

They found the people out their in

There, in that rural solitude,
aside from the road, where the vol
uble, care-defying laughter of the
travellers does not penetrate its
deep retirement, is the Riverside
Methodist Church, hallowed to
many of us by sacred memories.
A revival took place there last
week, resulting in nine aecessions
to the church. The truest happi-
ness and generosity has always
existed among it's members, and
no jar seems liable to occur in this
united family of God.
The ministers elueidated the
plan of salvation with clear head
Adness and force Of words, which
made such an impression that ev-
cry one discarded all concealment
and gave themselves up to the feel
ing of repentance. Mr.. Davies,
Presiding Elder in his serene
manner, yet with wide sweeps Of
command, did a great deal of good.
We are glad to be within reach of
his counsel and example.
BY invitation we visited at an
humble white washed cabin, on
whose unfinished walls hung por-
traits that once adorned the man.
sion of a Louisiana Governor, and
other traces that indicated an ear
iier state of elegance and splendcr.
We were told by the family that
they expected to build q better
home, but the low price of our pro-
duet has stifled every dawning
hope. As all our conditions depen-
dent on cotton is wrapped in un-
certainty and gloom, it seems the
force of doom for those fine pictures
10 remain on the plain walls which
TO me appeared eehoing with sighs.
The owners, with their toil-worn
Hives and heads fast taking the
snowy shade, we hope may not al
ways have to bear this burden Of
endurance.
Old Sol each night sets with the
same unlocked gsadeur that her
aids his fair rising on the morrow.
This weather has been very favor
able to gathering the cotton. Many
express the belief that change in
she weather would check the re-
ceipts and raise the price.

Parish Treasurer, Robert Cha
chere, made a business trip to
Crowley last week.
JOS. b. Clements, of the firm OF
Clements & Healey, made a busi-
ness trip to the Crescent City this
week.
Miss Celeste Chappuis, of Rayne,
visited friends in Opelousas this
week, as the guest of Misses Mary
and Rosa Layergne.
Mr.. r. Percy Collins, one OF our
substantial farmer friends residing
near Washington, gave us an ap-
preciated call on Wednesday.
Mr.. G. d. Stewart, Opelousas'
hustling contractor, has secured
the contract to erect the Crowley
State Bank building. It goes with
out saying that it will be well
done, as Opelousas mechanics do
no other kind of work.
We enjoyed a brief but very
pleasant call on Monday evening
from Prof, sehaffer, the new prin=
eipal of the High School, and were
fayorably impressed by his scholar
ly and genteel bearing. The pleas
ure of the introduction was due to
the courtesy of DIR. Irion.
The following young ladies of
Opelousas left the latter part of
last week to teach public schools
in the country: Misses Nettie
Littell, at Manueps; Mary Taylor,
at Rougeau's; Lille Swayzee, at
Chataignieri Rita Williams, at
Prairie Basse; Mrs. Fennie Reed,
also of Opelousas, accepted the po-
sition of assistant in the Melville
school, and left for that place Sat-
urday last.
Mrs. Bertha Lafeur, of Chataig-
nier, a daughter OF Sheriff Fonte-
not, who has just recovered from a
severe spell Of sickness, is on a
visit to her less fortunate sister,
Mrs. e. X. Wallior, who, although
at present out of danger and rapid
ly improving, is still confined to
her bed. We are glad to note her
recovery, as also the marked Inn
of Mrs. Wa1lior, and to
congratulate Sheriff Fontenot upon
the restoration to health Of those
whose dangerous condition was for
SO long a time--such a prey to his
own mental and physical capacity.
Mr.. T. Jay Lacy, the well-known
and popular proprietor of the
Mount Hope Nursery, near Wash
ington, was a pleasant caller at
our Office last Thursday, and as
usual, when on his visits to the
printer, had something good to
give us. This time it was a sample
of the Oonshin orange, a seedless,
fnely-favored, japanese variety,
which grows well in this climate,
bears bountifully at three years of
age, and is not effected by the cold.
We tasted them and found them
fine; the boys say the same. Mr..
Lacy guarantees them, and-well,
that settles it,.
