A Plea for Pure Milk.

To the Editor of The Gazette.
Why our milk men, the world
over, persist in diluting their nice,
rich milk with SO much water as to
cause such universal complaint?
Would not ordinary business policy,
if not honesty, dictate a more
straightforward and honorable
course? Is it not downright
theft to sell a man water instead of
milk? Almost every household has
a capacious cistern from which an
inexhaustible supply of pure water
may be obtained by simply turning
the faucet, without money and with
out price, but it seems to be the
rule among milkn,en to attempt the
usurpation of the functions of this
time-honored institution. I pro-
pose, Mr.. Editor, we call conven-
ton to remedy this crying and
watery evil. Yours, RIGHT.

Double Railroad Track.

We learn from the Iberian that
the Southern Pacific Company has
commenced building an additional
track from New Orleans to Lafa-
yette. 1t is intended to build
twenty-five miles each year until the
road is completed. Judge Parker
son. Of this place, has been nego-
tiating for the right of way forty
feet wide from Olivier to Bayou
Sale, this portion of the road being
built first as it is there that trains
going opposite directions generally
meet. This looks, says the Iberian,
as If the Southern Pacific had firm
faith in this country, bounty or no
bounty, that it should DC preparing
to do larger business.

that he is fast recovering his former
good health.
Miss Palmyre Guiibeau, of
Breaux Bridge, was in town last
week.
Our planters are making active
preparations for the coming year.
We will not undertake to advise:
them what to do. Newspaper ad-;
vice, seems always hollow. They
know very we'll the present condi-.
ton of affairs. The season just
closed brought the farmer an expe-:
rience better AID distressing in the
extreme, and he is no doubt now
in a position to decide for himself
the proper course to pursue.
Last Saturday was payday at
Huron, and large number Of the
Mill employees left for their homes
in different parts of the ccutry With
lighter hearts and heavier pockets.
Come to Carencro on the 9th and
10th Of February.

An Excellent Dinner.

A number of convivial gentlemen
met at the home of Mr.. Edrond
Mouton last Sunday and partook of
a most excellent dinner. And when
it is known that the expenses were
borne by Mr.. Kruttschnitt, of the
Southern Pacific Company, the
reader will wonder how that was
possible7
Some time ago a carload of cot
ton caught fire and the officers
of the train not being able. to save it
abandoned the whole load, consisting
of about 50 bales, hear Mouton's
Switch. Mr.. Edmond Mouton and
a number of his neighbors who hap
pened to be near the track thought
the cotton could yet be saved and
with commendable energy they
worked until large portion of it
was rescued from the fire. Mr..
Mouton wrote to Mr.. Kruttschnitt
telling him that the cotton which
had been abandoned had been
saved and was in good order.
Mr.. kruttschnitts thanked him
and his friends for their kind:
ness, and few days ago stop
ped in his private car at the
switch and thanked the gentlemen
again, at the same time handing
them check for an amount suffi-
GENTLY large to pay for the dinner
mentioned in this aIticle-and this
is how the citizens in the neighbour
hood of Mouton's Switch enjoyed
dinner at Mr.. Kruttschnitts' expen-
SeS.

A Eirst-class Hotel.

We have heard some very high
praises of the splendid management
of the Orleans Hotel by Mrs. A.
D'Orsay. This lady has had ex-
tensive experience in hotel keeping
and knows exactly how TO provide
for her boarders and consequently
never fails to please them. 1t is
therefore not surprising to hear the
boarders of this hotel speak SO
highly of the excellent treatment
they receive. The Gazette recon-
mends this hotel as first-class in
eyerv particular

Let it be Stopped.

The conduct of some people at
the Opera house is, to put it mildly,
an unbearable nuisance. For in
stance at the last entertalnmnet
some persons were ridiculous in
their demonstrations and made a
foolish display cf themselves, show
ing that they had no respect FOR the
ladies present, But on the contrary,
seemed to delight in annoying those
who desired to enjoy the perform
ance. We believe that some steps
should be taken to prevent the re-
currence Ct this reprehensibsc prac-
tiCe.
The Emma Warren Company.
The popular actress, Miss Emma
Warren and her company will APP
pear at Falk's Opera House on the
18TH instant in the play OF ellen
rietta." The Rev Iberia Enter
prise speaks very highly Of this
company. It says:
The one weeks engagement Of
the Emma Warren Co., concluding
with tomorrow nights presentation
of .tEast Lynne" has been one of
the artistic successes of the season.
against strong attractions,
both present and future, Miss War
rem has drawn good houses, the
audiences increasing with each sue
cessive performance. A more
meritorious, talented and personally
agreeable theatrical combination
has never come to New Iberia, and
it will leave behind most pleasant
recollections. Miss Warren is a
talented young actress, with bril-
liam future, and one can but wish
her the acme of fame in her chosen
profession. Mr.. Garsidc, the mu-
steal director of the company and
his excellent Corps of musicians de-
serve the highest enconiulns- Do
not forget that the engagement
closes with "East Lynne Tomorrow
night.

As the school year opens, attention
is directed to the oft-repeated advice
of leading educators, warning teach
ers, parents and scholars against the
fearful results of exhaustive brain
work among young people.
To thousands of girls and boys IN
nerved by the strain of school life,
Paine's celery compound, (which was
first prescribed by Americas greatest
teacher, Prof. Edward E. Phelps, NJ.
D., LII. D of Dartmouth College) has
been a blessing, making them well
and strong, feeding the brain and
nerves, and enriching and purifying
the blood.
The recent recommendation of
Paine's celery compound by Princi-
pal Camp of View Haven and the
equally outspokth praise of this grea.
test of remedies by ex-President
Cook of the National Teachers Asso-
citation, are two of the thousands of
such testimonials from parents and
teachers throughout the country.

And for the aged and infirm the

alive powers. Rev. Erastus Rowley,

Female College, writing to the pro-
prietors Of Paine's celery compound,
says:

My sickness was attended with con-
stipation, with nervousness and inso-
mnia, and the least excitement would
cause palpitation of the heart. have
in the last three or four years used

compound and I regard it superior to
all others, especially if used as you
direct. BY using this dc not suffer

from palpitation of the heart as for

A SUCCESSFUL RECEPTION.

The Presbyterian church presented
very attractive appearance Friday
night, and it was filed with joyful
assemblage of young people. The Y.
P. S. G. E. of the church gave re-
ception to the students and other
strangers in the city and to friends.
The evening was spent in social chat,
and light refreshments were served,
which were participated of by 25O per-
sons. Each guest was asked to regis
ter his name, address and church pre-
ference. The whole affair was very
enjoyable.
