ACOttOn Seed Oil Mill.

Mr.. J. c. Burrass, of Carrolton,
ILL.,, was in Lafayette this week look
ing over the country in the hope of
selling some machinery should there
be any move here to build a colt on
seed oil mill. Mr.. Burrass said
that he was much surprised to see
that there was no mill of this kind
in operation here as he thought that
this place offered better advantages
than any other in the State. Should
any of our citizens desire any infor-
nation as to the cost of a mill and
the profits of the business, Mr.. Bur
rass will answer all letters addressed
to him at Carfollton, Ill, He has
much experience in the cotton seed
oil business, having managed several
mills, among which is the
one near Shreveport. for four years.

yielded large profits with rarely any
failures. When it is learnt that
$40, 900 would build a good size

Of our local capitalists have not
already invested their money in such
an enterprise. The mills in New

The yearly shipment of cotton seed
from this point amount to something
like 1000 tons, enough to keep

two young chicken thieves had taken
possession of the once august court

seated around a fire which they had
made in an old cooking stove. a

Another Warming.

In another column, a ccrrespon-
dent, who signs himself, "a Con
slant Reader," makes a very wise
suggestion. He suggests that the
people give a fair to raise funds
to procure fire protection for the
town. In the last two weeks two
fires have occurred in the town, but
fortunately there was no wind'to fan
the flames and spread the sparks
and the only buildings destroyed
were those where the fires originated.
AS our correspondent truthfully says
the fire Wednesday night is a second
warning within the past few days.
Will the people profit by it? Will
they remain inactive and wait till it
will be too late? We dare say that
there is not a town in the State so
completely at the mercy of fires as
our own. Just think of place with
a population of over $500 people
without even hand pump. Towns
with one-fourth the population of
Lafayette have welt organized fire
companies with pumps, hooks and
ladders, etc. Should there be fire
in this town during strong wind
there is no telling what will be the
result. The whole place is liable
to be swept out by the flames and
then it will be too late to talk about
fire protectien. The time is ripe
now. Let some one make the ini-
tiative step and he will be seconded
by every body. Strike the iron
while it is hot.
