Prompt Payment of a Big Sum

Prompt Payment OF a Big Sum.
Dec. 4th, Rouse Hazard & Co. mail
ed their attorney Chicago draft
for SIT, S1096, payable to the Western
Wheel Works, that being the amount
which had been in litigation between
the two Companies for several years.
The ability of Rouse Hazard & Co. to
forward this large sum just at this
season of the year, when the pay rolls
and other expenses of Bicycle Manu-
facturers are very large, and receipts
very small, is certainly a most con-
vincing evidence Of the solvency of
one Of the oldest bicycle concerns in
the United States. Of the manufacture
ers and jobbers of bicycles who were
in business when Rouse Hazard & Co.
entered that line, more than Is years
ago, the number that still exist can
be counted on the fingers of one hand.
Rouse Hazard & Co.report that their
present prospects are the brightest of
any time during all the years they
have been in business. They now have
bona fide orders from gilt-edged con-
Germs for a larger number of machines
than they ever had orders for at any
one time. Their export trade has been
growing in all parts of the world, and
if any one of the several large export
deals they have in sight is closed, they
will have orders for all the wheels they
can possible turn out during the sea-
son of 1898.
The next Australia will bring us a
full line Of these wheels, Sylphs and
Overland Specials. They will have
more than their share of up-to-date
features, and will make up the most
elegant line of 1893 wheels that will
be seen here this year. We shall also
receive line of TRANSACTIONS" 1t
will pay you to wait.

Three Applicants for the Place
Left by Mr.. Cassidy.

There are now on file at the office of
the Minister of the Interior but three
applications for the place made vacent
by the acceptance Of John Cassidy or
the management of the Mutual Tele-
phone Company plant. Mr.. Cassidy
had been in charge for long time of
the Government Electric Station sup
plying lights for the streets and public
buildings. The men who are after
the place up the valley are Messrs.
Smyth, who had the position at one
time several years ago, Mr.. Buck, the
young electrician lately arrived from
the United States and Mr.. Starbird, a
lineman with the Hawaiian company.
Mr.. Smyth has local endorsement,
while Mr. Buck has some friends in
Honolulu, as we'll as recommendations
from good and responsible people
abroad. Mr.. Starbird has city advo-
Gates. The race is a pretty close one
with the first place chance at the pre-
sent time rather between Mr.. Buck and
Mr.. Starbird.

J We are informed by Mr.. w. C. Rob-

january, 1899. We are glad to say,
however, that he will maintain his
law Office here, and expects to con-
tlnue and keep in touch with his prac-
tice In Grant parish. To that end he
will have a business manager in the
Colfax Office, ready at all times to at
tend to the details OF his law practice,
such as collections, and all matters in
cidental to law business. His broth
er, Mr.. Earl Roberts, is a graduate of
Soule Commercial College, who has
been with him for some time and is
familiar with the business. He ia
an expert stenographer, typewriter,
book-keeper and accountant, and will
have charge OF the Colfax Office, as
correspondent aud manager
Mr.. Roberts has been exclusively
engaged in the practice of law at this
bar since 1886, and while he has had
many noted cases in both branches
OF the business, civil and criminal, he
has a decided preference forciv prac-
tice. As a civil lawyer he has shown
great acumen and skill in handling a |
number OF important cases, in which |
the best talent of Central Louisiana
was pitted against him, and his sue
cess has won him a fair and enviable
reputation as an advocate and coun-
selor at law. As a citizen Mr.. Roberts
IS greatly to be desired, being high
minded and honorable in all his tran
'actions, and intelligent and keenly
appreciative of all the social ameni-
lies. We congratulate Alexandria
lpon her acquisition, and regret to
zee him move, even though he retains
