What tlae Rn0ck-abOut WAN
Says.

The Knockabout man has returned
from his travels and has been looking
over the Abbeville Ranch. He thinks
the Ranch is about as dirty as ever.
Isaac Wise's addition to Valcourt-
vile is about completed.
The K. A. man hopes the new /. J.
will look after the public property and
keep it in order.
The K. A. man thinks it is fine eye
ling on the AbbeviIle Ranch as the
cyelist has to keep a sharp look out for
the fertilizer or he might carry some OF
it home with him.
If the new P. J. would have the
cresting on the courthouse roof repair
ed it would be c~ommendable in them
The roof needs repainting also.
Mouton run the Old Cow Ranch
while the mayor was gone and he liked
the business so we'll that he did not
want to give up when mayor Greene
returned. Mouton is a candidate for
MAYOR next election. He has had a
taste Of Office.
The appearance of the streets and
sidewalks in front OF some residences
where the cows bivouac at night would
gladden. the heart of a dutch garden
er. He could gather up enough fertlt-
izer to make an acre Of fine cabbage,
but the stuff is allowed to go to waste
in Abbeville-to waste its sweetness
on the desert air.
He is glad to observe that since the
new Police Jury has been i~nangurated
the courthouse yard has been put IN a
more respectable condition and all the
horses fred out of the yard. Well
done r. j.. now if you will compel your
ianitor to keep the court room in more
decent order you will deserve the
thanks OF the puDDc.
The Knockabout mar would Judge
from the fact that he sees SO many OF
the colored cooks going home at Z aud
3 o'clock in the evening Juggling great
baskets of provisions with them, that
the Abbeville housekeepels were in the
highest state Of prosperity otherwise
they could not stand such extrava-
gance for a great While. These cooks
carry enough home to feed two orthree
idle men-the year round.

The following is the correspondence
between managers Mouton Of Lafayette
and Pipes of Abbeyille. The Abeville
boys will have to play ball or back
down. Which will they do?
M. F. Mouton. Manager Lafayette
Baseball Club:
DEAR SIR: Having gained the infor-
nation that the Lafayette baseball nine
desires to play Abbeville. the ,Abbeville
nine hereby challenge to play you at TINS
place at any time or day except Sunday
for any amount from fifty dollars up. we
| are strictly a home team and expect to
match such alone. Ii you lose the game
we will pay your expenses while i'll Alb
| beyille. Please let us hear from yon at
once, as we have other engagements to
fulfill. Yours Truly,
w. OSCAR PIpEs, Manager.
July 10, 1896.
Mr.. w. oscar Pipes, Manager Abbe-
vilae Baseball C2as6:
DEAR Sin: I beg to w your challenge
Of July 10. and to say that my answer was
unavoidably delayed until this day.
1t is customary for q club challenging
| another one to play the game on the lat
ter's grounds. With this understanding
your challenge is accepted for a purse OF
$50, so per cent of the gate receipts to the
winner, 20 per cent to the loser and 80 per
cent to the park. 1t must also be under
! stood that q forfeit of $40 shall be depos-
tied by our respective clubs. to guaran-
tee the game as soon as the day is fixed
to play. .
We would hayea large attendance it
You could arrange to play on Sunday.
Your conditions concerning the resi-
dence of the team, are u of date and
would only apply in the event that we
played town ball or bull III the pen !"
Our acquiescence would be inconsistent
with the present attitude OF the national
sport whose tenets express tllata city shall
play against ID city, q town against a town
but not a native against a native. 1
Trusting that my short delay will not
| have interfered with the fultillment of
| your engagements, and waiting d favor
able answer at an early date,
| am, yours very truly.

For downright gall we think the
Lafayette ball team can swipe the bun,
bakeshop and all. They are dead gone
on playing for gate receipts. A hobo on
the hog Tor a hand out WOuldnI go up
against such a game as is proposed,
but our boys have not yet assumed the
s'professionap airs which so lily beft
the Lafayette gentlemen whose cheap
sarcasmanent"town ball and bull in the
penn is the only point in their knock
kneed attempt to crawl out of the pre-
dicament they are in. Our boys want
no gate receipts racket. They will put
up the hard stuff $50 cash and play
Lafayette anywhere under the canopy
of Heaven. Mouton had better lay low
with bis park ball players or Won der
Abe might gobble them and then what
in the world would become OF that
blessed "park' the dear boys are so
awfully stuck on.

The newly elected Police Juries
throughout the State are cutting down
expenses. Up in Union parish the Ga
zette says: The police jury adjourned
Thursday after a four days session.
The only special work done was the
passage of an ordinance reducing the
allowance for feeding and caring for
Jail prisoners from so cents per day to
335 cents" In st. Landry a recent
exchange tells US "the police jury
was wrestling with the problem of
chow to reduce expenses" Fhe solu-
ton was reached without much difficult
ty. The first step taken was to reduce
