A Paper Mil.

We learn from a reliable source that
Northern capitalists are considering the
idea Of establishing a paper mill in this
vicinity, and that the Southern Pacific
Railroad has already offered induce
ments to the projectors, in the shape OF
hauling the rice straw free of charge to
the mill if it is located at some point on
their line. Opelousas offers a most de-
sirable location for such an enterprise,
being in the heart of the rice country.
aud within easy distance Of New Orleans
and other large Louisiana and Texas
towns, and the immense quantity of rice
straw now burned by our farmers would
be bought by the mill people and con-
verted into paper.
1t is worth striving for, and if Opelou-
sas should secure the mill, in which
these people propose to invest $75. 900
or more, it would give employment to
many of our citizens, utilize the tons of
straw which have hitherto been value
less, and give our town an impetus
which would encourage the establish
ment of other enterprises and place her
the high road to prosperity.

The New Orleans Times-D Democrat of
March 80 publishes a biographical sketch
and picture Of Mr.. j. S. Hazelwood, a
prominent citizen of Shuteston and su-
p~erintendent of the Presbyterian Sun
day School at that place. Mr.. Hazel
wood, says the sketch, was born in Law
rencec county, Ala, June 90, 1S42, and
was reared on q farm in Amite county,
Miss. In July, 1861, he married a widow,
Mrs: Octavia Causey, one of Mississippi's
noblest women. Four daughters and
q son have blessed their union. Their
home is noted for its hospitality, and it's
members for their untiring zeal in every
good word and work.
In the early part Of the late civil war
Mr.. Hardwood Joined the Confederate
army. Believing it to be right, he made
great sacrifices and fought bravely for
the Lost Cause. He was captured in the
noted Franklin, Tenn, battle in Novem-
Der, 1854, and was a prisoner in Camp
Douglas, ILL.,, when Gen. Lee surrender
ed in April, 1855. After his release from
prison he returned to bis home in Amite
county, where he remained on bis farm
until January, 1871, when he moved to
st. Landry parish, his present home. At
present he is engaged in planting.

An Object Lesson.

We are now doing legal advertising
at a discount of 66S per cent from usual
rates. To illustrate what this means.
We invite the attention of the reader to
The advertisement of the sale of the pro-
perty Of the estate of Victor Haibe. in
serted in our last Issue and to be found
in another column. This sale measures
4 legal squares, and the regular price for
the 8 insertions required by law would
be $12. We have charged this estate.
for this advertisement, $4-oDe-third Of
$l2: Thus, a clear saving to the heirs
of SO has been made by having this ad-
vertising done in the COURIER.
Further than this, we may add that we
have reason to believe that the Clarion's
squares are smaller than ours and that
four squares by our measurement make
five Of the Ciarion's. 1t is therefore fair
to assume that the CIarion's charge for
an advertisement like the one referred
to would be $15. Our price, as we said
before, is $4-a saving to the heirs Of
81 on this small advertisement F.; on one
twice it's size the saving would be S22
three times its size 1913, and SO on.
