The st. Martinville Building
and Loan Association has az this
time 405 shares in force. When
the association was first organized
it was then predicted if ever four
hundred shares could be sold the
association would prosper rapidly
and be of much good to the town,
but few ever thought seriously
that the four hundred shares
could be placed, but the success
of the association was so great
from the start, that it went BOOM
ing on until the four hundred IL
NIT is passed with good prospect
of reaching five hundred shares in
a short time to come. The Bull
ding and Loan Association is one
of our solid institutions, and is
here to stay, and benefit all those
who will invest in it.

We are reliably informed that
the Billaud refinery as we'll as all
other refineries paid the cane on
the main line of the railroad the
past week 1888 cts per ton, deli
vered at the mill or at the derrick.
It seems that the re6neries are
paying more Oh the main line than
they are paying here, probably be-
cause they have a kind of mono
poly in owning the derrick. Would
it not be a good idea for the plan
ters to own their own derrick here
on this switch, or can they not in
duce the railroad people to erect a
derrick of their own for the use of
the public2 Tire is no doubt
that the planters will never get
full price for their cane unless it
be forced up bys active COMPETE
tion, There is no denying the
fact that human nature is so made
that the one who buys always tries
to pay the lowest price and the
one who sells always want the
highest. 1t is only the demand
for the supply that will make the
price rise, and nothing else, there
fore, if you want high prices
create competition for your pro.
duct.

Last Saturday some one had
started FIRE in the lake marsh
near the long bridge recently
built by the parish, and for a time
the bridge was considered in dan
ger. Mr.. Arthur Liable, member
of the police jury Immediately
took steps to protect the bridge,
and while he went on the spot, he
sent courier to Mayor Liable to
send the steam engine Immediate
ly to the bridge, which was done.
Some of the people in the neigh
borhood were already at work,
protecting the bridge. The police
Jury at it's last meeting had fore
seen the danger in which the
bridge was and had requested po-
lice Juror Liable to have the weeds
cut down. but we learn the work
was not done on account of the
scarcity of labor at this busy time.
We believe the bsst way to pro-
tect this bridge would be to make
a vide ditch on each side. ~

MIR. Robert Martin has pur-
chased the Durio- Plantation,
known as the Elise. A company
will probably be organized to take
the plantation and complete the
refinery which was commenced by
DIR. Durio. 1t is a fine piece of
property, and a fine six roller mill
has just been erected in the sugar
house. 1t is surrounded by a
country that can raise more cane
than the refinery can grind.
The Keystone Refinery is pay
ing SO for cane delivered at the
mill, which is, we believe, a better
price than is paid by all other re-
fneries getting cane in this pa
IRISH. The Morbihan and Gonsou-
lin are paying so cents per cent,
but are charging rs cts per ton for
freight on their tramways, which
makes the price of cane to the
planters. about $275.

the survey made for the extension
of the branch to Arnaudville, to
lookat the places for the construc-
ton of bridges and trestle works.
Work on the grading of the bed

will be rapidly pushed to a finish.
1t is expected that the road will be
completed to Arnaudville by the

Queer Thing. About Cat..

Perfectly white cats are invariably
deaf. they are sure to be if they have
blue eyes.
The Egyptians considered the cat a
sacred animal and usually mummified
its remains.
The cats OF the Isle of Man and those
of North Borneo are all tailless.
All of the mummy cats unenrthed in
Egyptian tombs have red hair.
There are three times as many mus.
cles in the tail of a cat as there are in
the human hand and wrist.
At the end of each hair of cats
whiskers is bulb of nerve fiber which
makes that particular hair very deli
cate "feeler."
\ cats head has n regular partition
will projecting from its sides inward
which, naturalists say, is a provision
against conclusion of the brain.-N. Y

A coUNTERFEITER CAUGHT.
The Police of Syracuse Make an I'm.
portnnt Cnpturc

On Monday the 18th Harold Marquisee, of
Utica, \. Y, was arrested in Syracuse, n.
Y, on a warrant sworn out by the DIR. VIII
liarns' Medicine Co., charging him with forg-
cry. On the 18th OF December Marquisee
visited photo-engraver in Syracuse, say
ing he was the representative OF the DIR.
Williams Medicine Co., and arranged for the
making OF full set of plates for the direc-
tion sheets, labels, etc, of the famous DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. News
OF this reached the home office, and no time
was lost in arranging for his arrest when he
should return for the plates. He returned
On the 18th, and was accordingly arrested
and is now in jail in Syracuse awaiting ex-
animation, which occurs on March I'd.
This arrest proves to be an important
one. In addition to various plunder, such
as medical books, typewriters, rugs, ETC.,
found in Marquisee's trunk when arrested,
the police also found counterfeit coin both
IN the trunk and on his person; and in a
search OF his apartments in Utica found a
complete outfit for counterfeiting consist
ing of crucibles, bellows, nickel, lead,
bismuth, antimony, small blacksmith
forge, a charcoal furnace. and several plas-
ter-of-paris molds. The United States mar
shals want him Just soon as DIR. Williams
Medicine Co. are through with him, and, no
doubt, he will be sentenced for long pc
riod.
In selecting DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
his counterfeiting operations, he showed his
knowledge of the proprietary medicine bust
ness: Tor these pills are in such great demand
that they are easily sold at any drug store in
the United States. His scheme was to worl,
the country druggists and sell his imita.
tions at discount OF from2per cent. to 5 per
cent, explaining the reduced price by the
fact that he had picked them up in small
lots and Mt discount from dealers who were
overstocked. BY working fast and making
long jumps, he would have secured many
hundreds of dollars in a short time. The
proprietors OF DR.. Williams Pink Pills are
most fortunate to have caught the rogue. be-
fore he had fairly started. and to have thus
kept these spurious goods out of the market
