A Pretty Home.

Last Monday morning The Ga
zette scribe paid a visit to the future
home of Mr. Walter J. N1outon,
situated in the south western portion
of this town. When the improve
ments on the house and in
the yards are completed, Walter
will have one Of the prettiest homes
in Lafayette. The remodeling of the
building and addition of the turrets
and baywindows are the work of
the competent carpenters, Sarrazin
Broussard and his son, John. The
front door is strikingly elegant and
neat and speaks highly of the skill and
taste of that artistic workman, Mr..
Numa Broussard. To say that the
papering and painting are equally
well done it is only necessary to
mention the fact that the veteran
painter, H. A. Eastin, is attending
to that part of the work. The
Gazette congratulates it's young
friend on his lovely home and ex:
presses the hope that he will find in
1t much happiness and prosperity.

Pefferkorn were returning from a
fishing party when the horse hitched
to their buggy took fright and started
at terrific speed. The three gen
tlemen were precipitated to the
ground, but fortunately without
receiving any serious injuries. The
horse continued his mad race,
passed in front of the court house
going in the direction of the convent.
When Judge Debaillon's office was
reached the buggy collided against
a stump and was broken into several
pieces. The horse was found a few
minutes later in the outskirts of the
town and, strange to.say, he did not
receive a scratch

There is railroad called ssTeche Rail

runs from New Iberia to Abbeville.
The above was taken from the

LOpez Shoots a Man.

The following account of the
shooting of Romero near Cade is
taken from the Daily Iberian.
Lopez, who did the shooting, is
known in Lafayette, having worked
here as a barber. Those who know
him say that he was we'll behaved
young man, and they were sorry to
learn Of his misfortune.
The shooting of Mr.. Joseph
Romero by Mr.. Leopold Lopez
Saturday is, OF course we'll known.
Not being able to hear anything
definite or reliable this morning we,
through the kindness of Mr.. Sam
Pointes, were admitted to the cell
where Mr.. Lopez is confined. Mr..
Lopez, when approached by us,
seemed very willing to talk; from
him we heard the following:
81 don't know how it happened
exactly, I being somewhat under
the influence of liquor. We were
not enemies.'
He went on to say that he met
Mr.. Romero and others, he being
in a cart having with him a key of
beer, he called the crowd around
to join him in drink, which they
all did; after a bit he said, ftLet's
have another" Mr.. Romero re-
fused. He (Lopez) then said, 'Any
man that don't want to drink with
me can go to hell. Romero seemed
not to like this much and told Lo-
PEI "Don't you say that again. -
Lopez repeated it. Then, Lopez
states. Romero and his brother adj
vanced on him. He could not re-
member clearly how the rest hap
pened, but showed his hand, which
he states was cut by one Of the
brothers.
Mr.. Lopez feels very badly over
the accident. He was told that
though Mr.. Romero was danger
ously wounded it would not prove
fatal, he remarked that he hoped
that was the case; he had really
nothing against the man, and if he
was guilty of an offense he was
willing to suffer for it. Romero
died Tuesday.

A Protest.

A special from Abbeville to the
I'imes-Democrat Of last Wednesday
says:

ion) parish, held a meeting here to-
day and passed a resolution protest
ing against the action Of the police
jury commissioners in assessing
railroads, telephone and telegraph
lines which meeting was held at
Lafayette. The reason given for the
protest is that Vetmilion parish s
commissioner was not notified OF

the country, the migration of the 'sho!,o
horts'' to Washington, the low prices Of the

planted. 1t was day last week that
your correspondent met highly esteemed
old farmer from this vicinity. He asked

SO enthusiastic over the cotton culture, when
they knew that the prices were killing His
answer came slowly and quietly. Like the
immortal Pope, he said:

We are praying and hoping for better
times. We still adhere to old ante-bcllum
customs. We care not for diversion of
crops. Cotton is product and cotton we
will raise. AS the old gentleman says: let

More RiS. Mills.

One of the busiest places in town
is the rice mill; it runs continually,
IN filing daily large quantity Of rice
of a superior quality. Mr.. Ie-
Danois, the proprietor and manager,
is I, gentleman of fine business
ability and the prosperous condition
of the mill is due 10 his able mana
cement. Although this is the first
enterprise of the kind started in
LAT ayette, there was no difficulty in
secr ring sufficien" quantity of rice
to keep the mill in operation all
the time. The Gazette believes
that two more lice mills in Lafayette
would not be too many. People
hav ing money to invest can not find
a etter opportunity. The western
por ton of this parish is splendid
rice country and is not far from the
! town, which would be great in
dus=cment to farmers to sell their
rice here, instead of shipping it to
foreign markets, which is very often
c'companied by great losses and
delays. If we can not get refinery,
lei: us try and build a rice mill.
There is enough capital here to do
1t. The only thing lacking is enter
prise. A little push and energy,
les pickering and more pulling
together, are the first steps and then
the. enterprise W. develop itself.
