HELLO, THERE!

That is the cry that will soon be
heard IN many Of the offices, business
houses and private residences OF our
town. 1t means that Thibodaux is
soon to have a local telephone SER
vice. The telephone company has
secured a sufficient number of sub
Scribers to enable it to put up Il plant
and it has already begun the work Of
putting it up. The posts have been
distributed around town and will soon
lie III position to receive the wires.
1t is to be hoped that the company
will see its way to extend the system
into the country. We would like to
see it run down 10 Raceland and
L~ockport, and it seems to Us that it
could be made 10 pay. And what is
the matter with Houma? Why not
connect it BY telephone with Thibo-
daux?

The board of health held a session
last Monday, and elected Dr.. Thomas
Stark as its health officer vice DR.. H
Dansereau who had resigned last Fri
day or Saturday. The board also
discussed the question of establishing
q camp of detention, but no definite
conclusion was reached.
The board nov has the quarantine
we'll in hand and, with faithful guards,
there is every reason to feel safe
from invasion Of the plague. The
board has made wise regulations re-
latlng to the admission of freight,

run short in any OF the necessalies

SATURDAY, OCT. IND, 1897.
IN 4 BAD. PLIGHT.

The people on the right descending
bank OF Bayou Lafourche will be iii q
bad plight next year, should we have
any eonsiperabl e high water. The
Atchafalaya Levee Board has done
practically nothing for the lsyees in
this parish. 1t only lately gave out
contracts for closing the breaches In
the levees below Lafourche Crossing.
and it IS very doubtful, under existing
circumstances, whether these breaches
a be closed in time to save the peo-
pie against the next rise in the BAYOU.
Here in front Of this town, extending
down to the church, the levee requires
some attention which it is pretty sure
not to get FROM the board for some
time at least.
In this unnecessary delay Of the
board, against which we have protest
cd in the past, there is gross negli-
gence. The board cannot escape the
charge, and upon it must rest any
disaster from water which may befaiI
the people next year. Does the board
feel the responsibility From it's
present apathy with regard to the
leyses OF this parish, one would Judge
that it does not, or if it does, that it
cares not.
When will the board wrke up to 3
realizing sense of the danger which
threatens this section?

Some prisoners awaiting sentence
attempted to break out OF Jail last
Thursday week. Fortunately the Of
ficers in charge of the Jail were given
an inkling which led TO the discovery
of the attempt, and the plan was frtis.
trated. The Would-be escapers had
already made q hole to the iron
plates in the wall which arrested fur
Their progress, when the authorities
found it out. The proper steps were
at n taken to secure the prisoners
and stop up the breach. This little
experience teaches the necessity of
adopting without delay some such
measures as recommended by the last
grand jury, to prevent the possibility
of introducing from the outside any
weapons or tools to prisoners, which
would facilitate them either in attack.

ADVERTISING DOES PAY.

At least that is the expesience Of
all men who have tried it systemati-
cally and intelligently. We have q
practical illustration of the.'proposition
that "adyertising does pay"a al this

Lawrence Dryer, a tlnsmith. came
here a short time ago to establish
himself in business. He made a liber-
al use of printers ink. advertising his
business in this paper aud in the col.
umns OF our contemporary and neigh
Dor the Comet, and as a result. AT
once got all the business in his line
which he can we'll attend to. Does II
one doubt that he owes this success to
the fact of intelligent and systematic

The yellow fever situation in New
Orleans is not any more alarming
this week than it was last. The in
rease III the number Of new cases
and death, Is not great in comparison
with what it was in the same stages
of the sickness in former ~visitations.
and with the improved methods of
treatment and the advanced season,
there is a we'll grounded hope that it
may not spread much even in the city
Of itself.
Of course, it is prudent for all non
affected places to maintain a reason
able quarantine, but there is no earth
~ reason 70. any community to
become panic-stricken. Fear IL not
only ignoble in 2 people as well as in
individuals, but it is the best ally
that the scourge has, for it helps il
to kill off people. Under all cir.
cumstancss, people should keep cool
heads, willing to do and doing all
within reasonable bounds to prevent
the dread visitation from invading
their precincts, but ready to meet it
face TO face, and combat against it
like true men and noble women,
should they have the misfortune to
be attacked BY the scourge.

HE mas HAD ENOUGH.

When ex-senator ingalls, accepted a
Commission from new journal to
report the prize-fight at Carson some
surprise was felt, and there were those
who did not hesitate to say that man
of his ability and standing ought to be
in better business. He seems to have
reached about the same conclusion
himself, for he has announced that he
will not report another priZe-fight for
any money. He has had enough of such
work and has apparently gone back to
the ideas concerning prize-fights which
dominated him six years ago when he
wrote: A prize-fght is pitiful, a pa
thetic exhibition. No full-hearted man
can endure the sight of a 'prlze-fight.
His soul would revolt at the suffering
of one or both of the men. The thud
of the piston-rod blows the bruised
and blackened features, the pallor of
brute determination, and the blood, the
eventual piteous, dazed expression on
the face of one of the men, seeing his
poor tinsel girdle slipping away from
him, the calm, vicious, concentrated,
thumbs down intensity Of the specta-
tors-what man, not directly reincar-
mated according to the Buddhistic doc
trine from bloodthirsty Roman Of the
bloodiest days of the empire could en-
dure all this? I maintain that no fin
ished man can strike another man in
the face with his fist, unless in the
very heat and fury Of passion without
grieving for the man he strikes. How
then, could any man of such average
senstbility take pleasure in witnessing
such a foul, such cruel. horrifying af-
fair as prize-fghting?
Mr.. ingalls, undoubtedly got well paid
for prostituting his talents at Carson
and he did his work we'll. But he is
much nearer right in what he wrote six
years ago about prize-fights than he
was in what he wrote ten days ago.

FARMIyG IN rnE CITIES.

be both governor OF Michigan and
many potatoes grow where none grew
before is secure. Thirteen American
cities have now experimental with the
system OF vacant lot farming which the
eccentric mayor of Detroit invented
destitute citizens to help themselves.
The cities are, besides Detroit, New
York, Buffalo. Seattle, st. Louis. To-
ledo, Boston, Brooklyn, Cincinnati Du-
luth, East Orange, st, Paul. and Min
neapolis, and in every one Of them
enough of benefit has been derived
from the innovation to warrant a con-
tinuation Of it. Other cities will try
the plan this summer Among them is
Philadelphia, where the plan for the
cApsIllilcilL IS dISdNy III opel dtlOh' "A
general advisory committee of promi-
nent men and women has been formed
with the view of pushing this charita-

securing such cooperation on the part

benevolent minded persons as will in
sure a successful outcome. An execu-
tive committee, armed with full power
has been appointed and is hard at
work, and the City of Homes will also
be this year city of free potato
patches.
So long as the poor cannot or will
not become farmers in the country the
plan of making them farmers in the
city has much to commend it. 1t has
worked so well in so many places that
it is probably destined to be very ex-
