Carencro News.
The many friends of Col. c. e..
Brown will be pleased to learn OF
his retiirn home from Bay st. louis
where, with Mr.. Louis Sicily, he
has been spending few weeks, for
the Benefit Of his health. Mr..
Brown has entirely recovered from
his late indisposition.
While Carencro. has suffered Sc
verely from, the very low prices of
products, particularly cane and cot
ton; stiff our people are in a sense
more fortunate than many in 9th 4r
localities. We lost comparatively
little cane, while it is generally
known that elsewhere many farmers
lost their entire crops. Our local
mill or the Carencro Sugar Com
pany, and the Huron Refinery, did
all in their power to saws the crop.
Mr.. Robichaux, formerly of
Breaux Bridge, has located in our
town, and is making preparations
for the establishment of good
hotel here. This is something that
has been long needed, and we are
pleased to see that we are to have it
at last. Mr.. Robichaux is a very
genial and popular gentleman, and we
feel sure that he will be rewarded
for his enterprise. In connection
with his hotel, he intends to con-
duct frst-class livery-stable.
Mr.. John r. Jones paid flying
visit to New Orleans last week.
There are lots of peculiar people in
this world, who seem void of knowl-

Taking everything into considera-
ton the Ca*encro Sugar Company
did fairly well this season. 1t IS
rumored that it is the intention of
this company to add a sugar max
ing outfit to their plant the coming

syrup to re6nerfes, they will make
their own sugar.
