The Mass Meeting.

On last Sunday a crowd of peo-
pie, variously estimated at from
250 to 800 in number, assembled
at the residence of Diomel Durio
in mass meeting.
Several speeches were made
and political issues discussed.
Among other resolutions one fa-
voring the free and unlimited
coinage of both silver and gold at
the ratio of 16 to l by the United
States, independent of any Other
nation, was carried.
They resolved against the pro-
posed amendment to the State
Constitution regulating the su-f
frage; also in favor of the harmo-
NOUS amalgamation of the two
factions of the Democracy exist
ing in the parish in order that
white supremacy be secured. They
advocated white primaries, and
a committee to foster
these resolutions and attend to
other matters in regard to the ap-
preaching election. Senator G..
w. Ward and T. A. Hicks, ESQ.,,
who were appointed on this COM
mittee, agreed to and endorsed
the action Of the meeting, save in
regard to the suffrage amend
ment, the adoption of which they
favor.

To Our Readers,

We have turned our paper over to the
ladies' this week, and yon have before
you the long talked Of Woman's Edi-
ton Of the COURIER.
1t is almost exclusively the product of
the brains and pens of some of the best
and brightest women in st. Landry,
who for sweet Charity's sake have spent
many toilsome hours in it's preparation !;
and to them is due all the credit for the
many bright articles, and noble senti-
ments which sparkle in and bedeck its
eight broad pages.
our heartiest congratulations upon their
admirable work, and our only disap-
pointmeDt is that we we're unable to
present it to the world in more artistic
shape. L. & l.. A. SANDOZ.
The Opelousas courier., 1895-08-03

the season 1894-95 some $4,000
bales of cotton.
The climate of St. Landry is
mild and the rainfall is abundant
and evenly distributed through
out the year. Continued drouths
are very rare.
The schools of St. Landry, are
rapidly improving and will soon
be second to none, and there are
churches for all denominations,
so that there is no lack of educa-
tional or religious advantages.
St. Landry sugar lands are not
excelled by any in the world and
her cotton production is only
limited by the acreage at hand,
and the growing tendency of our
people to engage in diversified
farming.
The timber of St. Landry is
becoming every year better
known and more eagerly sought.
There are already several saw
mills handling hard woods ex-
clusively for direct export to the
lumber markets of Europe; St.
Landry cypress is shipped out to
all points in the South and West.
Our people are warm hearted
and hospitable, and new corners
will find themselves cordially
received.
We owe thanks to Messrs. Cur
tbs and Russell of Washington,
and Settoon of Opelousas, for
some facts and figures contained
in the above.-EDs.
The Opelousas courier., 1895-08-03
Our Parish.

St. Landry soil produces in
abundance oak, ash, walnut, pine,
cypress and other timbers; sugar
cane, cotton, rice, corn, oats, sor-
ghum, sweet and Irish potatoes
fruits of all kinds - especially
pears, figs, small fruits and the
harder oranges; lespedeza or ia
pan clover for hay, and a pro-
fusion of native grasses furnish
ing pasturage almost the entire
year. Flowers grow in great
abundance and roses and camelias
are common in almost every
houseyard.
The two main towns in the par
ish are Opelousas and Washing
ton, but there are a number of
smaller towns-some of which are
making rapid progress and bid
fair to rival those first named in
the near future.
Opelousas is the largest town
in the parish and is the parish
seat, where all the legal business
of the parish must be transacted.
It is peopled by about three
thousand live, wide awake and
progressive citizens, among
whom no one need hesitate to
cast his lot. It has now in sue
cessful operation large Cotton
Compress, Ice and Bottling
Works and Cotton Oil Mill, be-
sides several brick yards. We
have one Bank and another in
process of erection.
Our town is situated on the
Southern Pacific Railway about
165 miles from New Orleans, on
what is known as the Alexandria
branch, and has tributary to it
a fine stretch Of fertile prairie
lands dotted with comfortable
homes.
Washington, the second town
in size, is situated about six miles
from Opelousas also on the
Southern Pacific Railway and at
the head of navigation on Bayou
Courtableau. It has a popula-
tion of about fifteen hundred peo-
pie and has tributary to it the
rich cane and cotton lands along
bayous Courtableau, Waxia and
Boeuf, as well as the fertile
Grand Prairie region on the west,
and the heavy hard wood timber
ed section in the lower lands
across the bayou. The Henrietta
Cotton Mills giving employment
to some 60 or 20 people and ship
ping thousands Of dollars worth
of fine hosiery yarns and twines
annually, are located there.
There are also two large brick
yards and one large saw mill.
The Washington State Bank fur
nishes financial facilities to the
of the town, and is
we'll known throughout the State
as the Fiscal Agent for the par
ishes of St. Landry and Acadia.
Both Opelousas and Washing
ton are on the line of the pro-
posed Central Louisiana Railway,
the preliminary surveys for
which are now being made-ex-
tending from Abbeville to Pal
mettO.
In 1894-l895, Opelousas ship
ped about 10000 bales of cotton,
10000 sacks of rice, cotton seed
oil and meal, besides thousands
of cases of chickens and eggs.
Washington about 10000 bales
Of cotton, nearly 5000 sacks of
rice and over 1000 tons of cotton
seed, besides many thousand
bricks and large amount OF
sugar and molasses, about 1000
cases of eggs and chickens.
