Annual Trade Review.
OPELOUsAS TO DE GRAPHICALLY POR
TRAYED TO THE WORLD.

Mr.. Benedict Burr, the we'll known
descriptive writer FROM New Orleans,
is in 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
ish. 1t is his intention, in this work, to
adequately portray the b%ountiful bless
lngs IL 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 and in order to pro
mote commercial! activity at home.
The review will be profusely illustrated
throughout with cuts OF the principal
business houses and portraits of cur
most prominent business men together
with a brilliant description of our tdu-
cational facilities, religious advantages,
resources and other data of interest to
the new settler.
The enterprise is a me.ito,ious one,
and is worthy of the hearty support and
cooperation of eTery' citizen of this
community inasmucil 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 this
matter and hope to see each and every
one represented in this review.
