Whereas, petition numerously signee
having been presented to the City Council
alleging that majority of the voters are il

his books, typewriter, etc., in and

to attempt to describe the beauty of
his Office, and will not, for fear we

will be agreeably treated by this

The Iberian concludes a very
pertinent editorial with the follow
ing remarks:
Hence, we see that everywhere
the country paper is doing much
good. 1t is safe to say that with
out the local paper progress in the
country towns would be much less
than it is.
The country editor looks after
these things because it is his mis-
sion to do SO. 1t is the mission of
your home paper to show the peo-
pie of your section which are the
urgent needs and if possible how to
get them.
The country newspaper does more
than support lazy editor in luxuri-
Gus idleness. 1t does more than to
pat one man on the back for an ad.
and bow to another for a subsclip-
ion. But few realize this.

On Nov. 10 there will be at the
Ursuline Convent, in New Orleans,
a very interesting religious cere-
mony. It will be similar in many
respects to the GROWING of Our
Lady of Guadalupe in the City of
Mexico few days ago. On the
day mentioned the statue of Our
Lady of Prompt Succor will be
crowned in the presence of a large
number of priests and higher digni-
taries of the Catholic church. His
Grace Archbishop Janssens will con-
duct the ceremony, which will be
the first of the kind as we'll as the
most imposing ever witnessed in

ing seriously and scientifically the
question, care Women Growing
Prettier?" has come to the conclus-
ion that they are not getting pref
tier but quite the contrary. The
distinguished Journalist believes that
the type of womanhood is changing
from an ideal to more masculine
one. We have interviewed a num-
Der of bachelors on this subject,
thinking that from them an impair
t'al opinion as to the actual situa-
ton in Lafayette could be obtained.
ALL with the exception of one,
agreed that our girls are just as
pretty as their mothers used to be.

ing on the refinery, became bolster
Gus and were placed under arrest
by Officers Veazey and Bourke and
locked up. The charge against
Alfred was disturbing the peace,
carrying concealed weapon and re-
sisting arrest, and against Aristide
carrying concealed weapon and re-
slsting arrest. Monday morning
they appeared before the mayor,
who fined the former $3.50 and the
latter $500, both with costs.
A reporter of the Gazette was at
the town hall when the prisoners
wee taken there preparatory to
their Incarceration, and it is due to
the forbearance of Officers Veazev
and Bourke that no one was hurt.
The prisoners defed the officers
and refused to go to Jail. At one
time it was believed that the officers
would be compelled to use their
clubs, but thanks to their courage
ana patience it was not necessary.

John Vandergriff, of tonsorial
fame, begs The Gazette to state that
all reports to the effect that he
would soon leave for Havana to 20
and fight for Cuban liberty are false
and he hopes that his friends will
give no credence to such rumors.
John will stay at home to serve the
people of Lafayette as he has been
doing for the last decade. He has
the sticking qualities rarely found
in BARRIERS and he intends to end
his days right here.

Our contemporary, the Iberia En-
terprise, closes an able editorial with
the following:
Our friends, who are sacrificing
principle for a selfish purpose, can
rest assured that they will never get
a higher tariff upon sugar than the
one now in force, and the first adj
vantage to come to them in build
ing up their industry will be in the
placing of iron and coal on the free
list. The growth of American pub
lie sentiment is in the direction of
freer trade, which will lead at no
distant day, to absolute free trade,
with single rental value tax upon
locations and franchises, and the
nearer we approach to this the bet
ter will the sugar producer, as we'll
as all ether businesses, learn that
the measure of their thrift and IN
will be the measure of their
success, and it is only by this means
that 'sequsl rights and special prlvi-
ieges to none" can be secured.
Gentlemen, watch the dawn of the
Twentieth Century.

Sheriff Broussa1d does not only
look active and vigilant, but he act

to suit his political enemies, and
that is the reason they are after his

form his duty without mourning the

The present City Council is Ger.
tainiy seriously handicapped by the
condition of the towns finances.
This years taxes from the property
holders in the additions will 20 to
the parish treasury as the -reannexa-
ito" was made to late to entitle the
town to collect them. Therefore.
the Council is compelled to perform
the somewhat difficult feat of run
ming the corporation as it stands to-
day with the money from the old
town only. Despite this unusal
condition of affairs our councilmen
have so far done very well, but it is
doubtful if they will be able to con-
tlnue throughout the year without
borrowing some money.
