Say Dick, it is rumored that you are
to be marriedin the near future. How
about it,
Our farmers are smiling owe the re-
cent rains. Since then, we do not see
SO many sour faces.
Mrs. Bnrris and daughter Pearl, and
Misses Lizzie and Katie Huff visited in
Abbeville Tuesday last.
The graceful and charming Miss
Stella Owen was q convention visitor
at Abbeville Sunday last.
Our people are feeling hopeful over
the prospects eff a good crop. All
crops seems to average up well.
Judge Trahan and his beautiful
neice we're in attendance at the con-
vention Sunday last in Abbeville.
E. ". Huff made a trip to Abbeville
Sunday last, just long enough to see
what time it was, and then returned.
joe says he wish the ladies would
bear in mind that he is d candidate for
the matrimonial altar. We hope this
will reach the eyes of some fair one,
who will boldly come forward. No
firts or triaers need apply.
It looked mighty suspicious when
Mr.. Ben Hudson and d handsome
young lady drove up to the residence
of the writer last week. We thought
we would be called upon to perform a
marriage ceremony, but, the gods de
clared otherwise. Ben, you amt in it,
and you know it.
The late school exhibitions held in
this vicinity were we'll attended, and
the programs at the different places,
were such that reflect great credit upon
the teachers and scholars. We would
like to give the names in this connec-
ton, but. WB presume we would intrude
space, and therefore, we say to our
school mans that Vermilion parish
feels proud of you all.

WHEAT ON THE JUMP.
Chicago Bears Forced to Look for
Cover

1ONCTs
CHICAGO. March 2S.-Wheat iumped 3
cents TO-DAY on the pros poets of the cold
wave. The scare started a wild rush TO
cover among the shorts, and with heavy
trading the pit was a scene of wild confu-
sion. May started only "a higher than
last nights close at 5S% but the cold
wave scare took possession of the crowd
almost at once, and the price went up by
long jumps till it touched 61b At that
point the longs began to take profits in
droves, and the offerings soon caused the
price to sag off to 50%, the market becom
ing quiet and steady at about those figures.
The boom to-day means a grest deal TO
the holders of wheat. They have been
forced to endure tremendous shrinkage in
values and pay for carrying the property
besides. The decline in price was nearly
20 cents a bushel. and the carrying charges
were 10 to 20 cents a bushel, making
total of 50 to 30 cents bushel, which was
borne by the bull spectators. On local
stocks alone this loss amounts t. between
100000 and SS.000,000. The advance to-
day carries tha cash price up over cents
bushel. Stocks of wheat in Chicago
warehouses and loaded in vessels In the
river approximate 25.0O0,000 bushels. A
scent rally. therefore. means a difference
of S1,250.000 on the cash grain alone to the
bulls. The amount of wheat covered to-
day was heavy, possibly 10000. coo bushels.
but those who are familiar with the trade
laugh at the claim heard in certain quar-
ters that the shorts were all run In on To-
days bulge. 1t would take a week of
steady buying to lauidate such terrific
short interest as this market has developed
as result of six months trading in the
