Iron county instructed the roadmaster
of this district to abandon one of the
prominent roads of this district over

Annual Trade Review.
OPELOuSAS TO BE GRAPHICALLY POR
TRAYED TO THE WORLD.

MIR. Benedict Burr, tile well known
descriptive writer from New Orleans,
Is III this city for the purpose of compll-
Ing an illustrative and descriptive re-
view of the agricultural resources
growth and industry of st. Landry par
lsh. It'll his intention, in this work, to
adequately portray the bountifnl bless
ings generous providence has bestow-
ed here together with the enterprise
Thrift and energy of the citizens. The
object OF the work is for the purpose of
Inducing emigration from the Northern
and Western states aud in order to pro-
mote commercial activity at home.
Tue review will be profusely illustrated
throughout with cuts OF the principal
business bOuses aud portraits of our
most prominent business men together
with a brilliant description of our edu-
cational facilities, religious advantages,
resources and other data of interest to
the new settler.
The enterprise is IL meltorious one,
and is worthy of the hearty support ANA
cooperation of every citizen OF this
community inasmuch as the review
seeks to develop an appreciation Of
those blessings which it is not
only our privilege to use but
our duty to improve. We trust
that the business men of this city
will give their hearty support in tins
matter aud hope to see each and every
one represented in this review.

Good Work.

We notice that the grand jury of St.
Landry has indicted regulators, lynch
ers and other awbreakers of that parish
and looks like old time justice is about
to be done. There is a great cOmmo-
ton and disturbance among the crimi-
nal classes. Bat the State can stand
that. The people can stand anything
better than settled policy Of lawless-
ness and immunity for law whreakrrs,
Civilization begins where the laws alt
rishteously and strictly enforced. Free
institutions eau exist only where all
men, rich and poor alike, are held ac-
countabIe to the laws Of the laud. Let

quire in behalf of an injured State

Resolved, That in the event the

Senate in disregard to this demand, we
do hereby make known and proclaim
to the American people that, in behalf

The Bryan and Sewall Silver Club of
Opelousas held its regular weekly meet
ing at the Opera Honse last Monday
night, with President }. J. Lewisin the
chair and an enthusiastic crowd present,
among whom were a number Of ladies.
Messrs. w. c. Pelraut, j. j. Thompson
and Josephus Brown. of the committee
on membership, submitted long lists OF
applicants for admission to the club, all
Of whom were accepted. Resolutions
were adopted ratifying tile action OF the
Chicago convention, endorsing the tu-
sion recently consumlnated in this State
between the Democratic and Popu'lst
parties, and urging all friends Of silver
to buckle on their aimOr and do their
part in the battle now raging through
out the country between the ms3O3s and
the elasses-the common people arfd the
trusts and syndicates and other agents
of corporate greed and corporate power.

Following the Election

The famous "Sunset Limited" service
between New Orleans and San Francis
co will be resumed, making the fastest
time, and according the most luxurious
service across the continent. Two
trains a week in each direction. No
extra fare.
The change of time cald on Srptem-
ber Gath, 1896, for daily trains. shortens
the time to all Northern and Eastern
points and places the Southern Pacific
in position to control the passenger
traffic east and west bound.
If Daniel Webster was right when
he declared that no nation can long
remain free form the tendency OF the
laws is to concentrate the wealth in the
hands of the few" then is it not high
time that the people of this country,
who are the natural and Iightfnl source
of power, were taking decisive steps
toward checking the uumistakable en-
croachmeDt upon their freedom? There
must be "a beginning. aud the signs of the
times indicate that the people have de-
termined TO make Il beginning, already
