Last week this paper entered upon
the seth year of its checkered exist
ance. Thirty eight years is a long
time in the existance ola man, much
longer in that of a newspaper. But
two journals in Southwest Louisiana
are as venerable in years as this paper;
they are Opelousas Courier and the
Assumption Pioneer. The present
publisher of THE MERIDIoNAL has
been connected with the paper since
it's foundation. He and Gen. Leon
Jastremski, now u. S. Consul General
to Peru were apprentices in the Office at
the same time. He has seer the town
develop from a hamlet of n store and
a half a dozen houses, into a thriving
