A good story comes to us from a re-
mote section OF Terrebonue. At a
certain Democratic poll where not a
single Republican vote was returned
at the last election, a certain well
known local Republican gentleman, OF
more than average intelligence. ex-
pressed considerable surprise, as he
had voted, he asserted, the Republican
/ ticket. Wliereupon, one OF the Com
missioue,s aud some local Democrats
asked the aforesaid Republican gen
tlemen if he had any objection to state
how he had prepared his ticket.
Gloryiug in the freedom and indie
pendence Of his American citizenship,
he had no objection to letting the
whole world know how he had voted
and forthwith astounded hisinteilocu
tiers by stating that he had fixed his
Ticket by oblirerating the white circles
opposite the names Of the Democratic
electors and Of Robert F. Broussard
J That is tile way he had been told ia
prepare IL. And when lie was assured
by his ~inlerlocuters, after they hal

GROWTH OF TIE TERREBoNNE
nYSTER INDUSTRY.

49, 4
The remarkable rapid growth of the
oyster industry in T%errebonne is not OF
the mushroom sort. 1t has been due to
the fact that people are just beginning to
realize that the oysters in the Terrebonne
oyster beds are inexhaustible and that the
proximity of Houma to these great beds
makes it the most suitable point for the
operation of oyster packeries.
The oyster business here is in it's infancy
for Fl We wears ago there was not a packery
| inlHouma, while to day there are SIX,
all doing a good business.
The extent of the oyster business here
and the good that it is doing to
can easily be understood by visiting the
/ different packing establishments and
hstiup the number of men employed in
shucking and preparing the bivalve fol
the Western market, and the number Of
men engaged in fishing oysters.
Every line Of business here feels tn
good effects that have followed the ope
ration of the oyster packeries. In fact
at this season ofthe year, all of the none,
going the rounds Of trade in Eoulna ma
been put in circulation by the canherle
The oyster business is founded prett
much on a cash basis. The oysters az
. shipped G. Cd. to dealers in states lynn
west Of the Mississippi river and the re
turn express brings the cold cash to I'll
Houma packer.
The business, therefore, furnishes a ne
t for safe and satisfactory Investments
0 is a business that does not require al
@ great amount of capital, and the degr
of its success depends almost altogeth
"a on individual vim and hustle.
ri At some future date The COURIER pI
:, poses to give an extensive write up OF
oyster industry. 1t gave such a write
last year, but the number Of oyst'
shipped daily have increased to such
extent, and the industry has made su
rapid bounds to the front within the p'
a year, that our figures last year can 81

Uncle, Sam md Spain are apparently

seeking trouble with the United States,
in order to arouse the NATIONAL feeling
oftbe dissati6ed elements that threaten

faction ia due to the failure of Spain
to put down the Cuban Instruction If
Spain and the United States went

whipped by such a power as the

when compared to the humiliation Of
being Whipped by Cuba. War be-

would give Spain an excuse to ex

Fire Co. No. /, and if the company dc
cides to rent the hall several Of enter
prising citizens Of Houma will exert them
selves to organize a club.
