OUR TRADE EDITION.

TIE COURIER with some degree o
satisfaction presents to its readers to-
day itB special edition.
The edition waa n~Otintended to equa
IN artistic display the grandest achieve
ments Of the modern printers art
Realizing that any attempt to produce
one of t hose magnificent special edi'
tons that the metropolitan journals
sometimes send out would be c~OnfrOn
ted by insurmOuntable difficulties,
among which may be mentioned a
patronage entirely too expensive for
even the progressive and whOle.sOul
business men of Houma, The COURIER
wisely decided to c~onfne its efforts
within it's own sphere, and not try to
equal or excel in typographical excel
lence the best achievements of the
most modern printing Offices that have
at their CO Command all of the costly
printing presses and latest improved
type setting machines.
In publishing this trade edition The
COURIER does not feel Ithat it is put
ting on airs that it cannot becomingly
assume 1t is printed with the same
type, and the same press that the
weekly issue.O t The COURIER is prin-
ted with.
The special edition is intended to
let persons living outside of Terre-
bonnie know something about the
wonderful natural of this
parish, aud the COURIER believing
that truth should never be sacrificed
in a desire to create a good imp ession
has endeavored to give as correct an
account of these as possible.
After reading to-days special edi>
ton outsiders will know just what
Inducements Terrebonne, and Houma
its chief city, can offer to the home
seeker.
Copies of 3he edition will be sent to
different parties througouht the States.
and the COURIER suggests that all
persons who are anxious to bring
capital and a good class of sturdy
immigrants to Terrebonne hand
10 to this Office the names of their
Northern, Eastern and Western
friends that We may mail them
copies.
Extra copies of the edition are for
sale at the COURIER Office at the regu-
lar prices cents a copy.

OUR Competent AND GENIAL
POSTMASTER.

In the person Of Mr.. J. r. Grinage,
Houma possesses not only a postmaster,
but Il man and citizen of whom she NAV
well feel proud, He was born and raised
in this parish, and We do not ovcrstep
the bonds of veracity when we say that
he is liked by nearly every man, woman
and child in it. He h1s tho entire conf.
depce of our people regardless of party OF
color lines. He has IOng reel regarded as
a leader i'll matters political in this sec
ton.
He served as marshal and collector of
this town for five consecutive terms frOm
1892, which position he resigned to ac-
cept the nomination OF representative to
which office he was elected in 1892. and a
more proficient and able representative
parish never had in that august body.
He was appointed Post-m lster by Presi-
lent Cleveland in October of last wear.
and a more acceptable selection could
not have been made. He has been a life
long stanch democrat, and has many
warm personal friends among the states
men of our nations congress and we pre-
diet for him greater political hOn0rs in
the near future,
Mr., Grinage selected as his assistant,
Mr.. S. Munson, and he did well in making
this selection for Mr.. Munson has lived in
parish all his life, and he is regarded
as one of our leading and respected citi-
zenS.
