4 large portion Of the cotton crop OF
this section for the current year has
been picked, hauled, ginned and ship
ped. A great deal still remains in the
fields and cotton houses of our farmers.
As they have hauled probably a suffi-
Gent quantity OF their crop to pay up
all Indebtedness in the shape of ad-
vances, to purchase the necessary
clothing for their families, etc, We be-
He7e it would be a good policy on the
part of the cotton grower to hold back
the remaining portion of his crop for
better prices.
we believe these better prices will
come before many months, or it may
lie weeks. Cotton to-day "wednesday
is quoted at SIS per thousand pounds
in the seed. cash at the gin scales.
This is some improvement on the
lowest figures. which were $I7 per
thousand. bat it is far behind the best
prices which were $3.50. Thus we
see that an advance of $3.50 on today's
quotation would be al advance Of 70
per cent which is worth waiting for a
wear If necessary. We do not know
lust when nor to what extent cotton

tie present leg figures are the result

Confirmation Ceremonies.

This week has been one gilmore than
usual interest with the Catholics of
this community, due to the visit of his
grace, Archbishop Janssens. Monday
evening the Archbishop arrived by the
train and was met at the depot bv Rev.
Father Alehaalt, the Catholic Knights,
the brass band and a large %concourse
of citizens. On reaching the presby-
terry the procession haulted and A. J..
Golden, Esq madea brief but elegant
address to the Archbishop.
Wednesday at an early hour the
Archbishop began to confirm the large
class Of $50 persons. In the prepara-
ton Of this great number Of people
Father Mehault and his vicar Rev.
Elast were ably assisted by the follow
ing visiting clergy: Rev. Leautier, S.
j.. Grand Coteau, Rev. Raymond, St.
Gabriel, Rev. Grimault, Mauriceville,
Rev. Prim, New Orleans, Rev. Trainor
New iberia.
On Thursday occurred the dedica-
ton Of the new church at Cossinade
near Coles Island about ID miles west
of Abbeyilh. Despite the inclement
weather a large crowd of people were
present.
Friday morning the Archbishop left
for the purpose of d~edicating the new
church at Delcambre, near Meadows
station on the I. d Y. railroad. These
ceremonies were also largely attended.
Very shortly these new churches just
blessed will be erected into separate
parishes and supplied with resident
priests.
Archbishop Janssens will return
again some time during the month of
January for the purpose of blessing the
new church at Bancker, near VIM.

THE N Case.

From al appearances the case of Al

with arson will not be tried at this
term of court. The attorneys fOrJ. ".
Brown, Judge O c. Mouton and Hon.
VIM. Campbell. flied s motion for the
%recusation of Judge Debaillon which
was 0yerruled. Wednesday a plea was
6ied setting forth that in the case Of
j. ". Brown. il. this court had no jur-
i8diction. Judge Debaillon rendered
a decision Thursday afternoon at 4
o'clock overriding this motion. The
attorneys for the defense reserved q
bill of exception and will apply to the
Supreme Court for relief. 1t is not
probable that the State will so to trial
with Albert Brown alone and as it will
DO some time before the question of
Jurisdiction in The case of j. w. Brown
.jr., is decided by a higher court, it is
safe to say that the case will not be
tried during this term.-Latayette Ga,

the plea was accepted by the District

check It. John Johnson Allen Lanier
and several companions came into
town from the country, and as they
had often done before, started in to
run the town by iring off their guns at

preached Johnson for the purpose of
protesting with him, when the latter
began to shoot at the officer, who pull

About thirty shots were fired in all.

On last Tuesday evening, at about
six O'Clock, in Prairie Hayes, little
George Abbott son OF Martin Abbott,
aged about eleven years old, accident
ly shot and killed his older brother,
Earl, aged about thirteen. 1t seemed
that Earl had been allowed, and had
been for some time III the babit Of TAX
ing his g~randfather's gun and going
out hunting with it, but always going
alone. On yesterday evening, the lit
tie fellow seeing some ducks light in a
pond near by, took the gun, and fol-
lowed by his younger brother, started
cut to shoot the ducks. The two little
fellows had gone but a short distance,
when they came to q wire fence which
they had to cross in order to get to the
ducks, and in crossing this fence there
was a short plank lying under it, which
by some means the little fellows turned
over in getting yer the fence and there
lay hidden away under the plank a pis-
tol, which a negro working Oh the
place had hidden there. The Younger
brother, boy like, picked it up and
started following his brother from be-
hind, creeping mp to the ducks. They
had gone but a short distance when by
some means the pistol went off, strik-

seeing his brother fall and the blood
squirting from the wounds, at once
placed one finger on each hole trying
to stop the flow Of blood, and they
were found in that position, A doctor
