| MT. otOkeS, or Sunset, WAS III
town last week the guest of DR.. w.
w. LESLEY.
| Mr.. and Mrs. Claude Latiolais

Several Of Carcncro's brightest

astic session. Among them should

Mr.. Henry Crouchet has been

A number of our people availed
themselves of the opportunity of
visiting Opelousas last Sunday, with
the excursion given by the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainn1en. 1t is
conceded fact that all entertain
ments or excursion given by the
brotherhood, are the best conducted
and of the highest standard.
Miss Birdie Palmer was the guest
of friends in Lafayette this week.
Carencro was out in full force, at
Lafayette on the 4th and had a jolly
good time of it too. Our Lafayette
friends, as usual fulfilled every pro-
mise made, and consequently one
could not help but enjoy himself.
1t is really amusing to see how
deeply concerned the average poll
tician is about the peoples welfare.
AS each election rolls around he is
out to his wits end to invent some
scheme, OF present some so-called
vital interest, regarding which he
expects the people to entertain the
same opinion as himself. Occasion
ally it is the tariff, sometimes the
negro question, now it is the money
question. 1t is always something.
If the people ever expect relief
through such channels, then they
will be a sadly s:Ieft' set. A shoe
maker would certainly not consult
a lawy err as to how he should work
his leather; and there is less reason
why the commercial and agricul-
tural classes should permit lot of
politicians to run the country, the
real interests Of which they are as
ignorant as ssAdam's off OK" Any
man with common sense should be
able to form an opinion of any ques-
ton, no matter how compile ated or
complex, it may appear, and not
permit any man or set of men to
dictate to him, what that opinion
should be. There are two sides to
every question, and both should be
studied or heard, before a conclu-
sion is drawn.

We are informed that the 4th of

The corn crop this season, will be
