ces of the Carnival committee.

dance. The best local talents are
secured, and we can promise the
public that the entertainment will
be the very best. The admission

cents, reserved seats IS cts. We
invite all our people to make it
their duty to attend this entertain
ment, which will be the best of

The Valley of the Teche pu-
blished an interview with Police
Juror Patin last Saturday, in re-
gard to the;articlei which appear
ed in the Messenger the issue be-
fore; and we can only say we OBJ
tanned our information from
source we consider reliable and
perfectly truthful; from a gentle
man we believe incapable OF mis-
representing any one, and If the
Police Jury desire to investigate
this matter, we will furnish. them
the name of our3 informant, and
we will do the same to Police Ju-
ry Patin, if he desires any more
information on the subject.
The Valley of the Teche seems
sore over the appointment OF
Mr.. NJ. L. Broussard, as Assessor
of this parish, but Brother Beg
maud entertains thel hope that
some day will come when his fac
ton will have something to say IN
the political affairs of this parish
l and will command some influence
) with the power in the Governors
affairs. Well, when we wer'
s Younger id the business, VI
S thought like our brother 81 tn
K Valley. we thought we coild dow
8 Alex. Fournet andshis political al
lies, and We fought him as ridcl
s and as long as we could, but il
e the end, after many long years Q
s hard work, large expenses, ant
It lots of bad blood, we have com
to the realization of the fact tha
10 this parish belongs to Alex. -Four
a net, Dave Rees Il Co., and the
I. have d particularly solid grip o
!. Fourth and Fifth wards, and th
,r crowd opposing them will nev'
.r be able to wear boots large enoue
tt kick the people Of these ware
; out of the ranks of Fournet, Re-
10 & Co. Perhaps our friend of Il
- !, Valley is counting on the ne
combinations that were rumored
y few days past; if such is the cas-
70 he is off, they will not hold, b
'' cause Alex. can break up this Ii
10 tie combination, as we'll as 81
III other combination made in "hi
r Fourth and Fifth wards. Be co
