The late fire in our town has once
more illustrated the beauties of fire in
snrace. MI. Louis C. Smith, the drug
glst. held a policy for one thousand
dollars in the Mechanics and Traders
Insurance Co., of New Orleans. His
loss was full y two thousand dollars, if
not more; but unfortunately for him
bis books were burned. This model
company refused to pay more than five
hundred, which amount had to be ac-
cepted, owing to the fact that Mr.. Smith
is poor man, and conld not afford to
litigate with this big corporation. Not
very long ago Mr.. p. DelBuono, of
our town, was served very much in the
same way by anther company. Isn't
it about time that our law makers
should do what has been done in a great
many communities pass laws to pro-
tect the insured against dishonest in
surance companies?

An exchaDg very trnthfnIly says that
there are whole lot of fellows in and
about every town who could teach
school better than those who are our
teachers preach better than those who
are preaching run a store better than
the store keeper plead law better than
all the attorneys in the country run
newspaper better than the men who run
them. Yes, the woods, the fields and
towns are full of them .bnt none of them
ever taught school, preached, practiced
law, run store or paper and never will.
They have always spent their time in
loatins around finding fault with other
people, and don't know enough to do
good honest work and most of them
never will.

Our Water Works,

lt affords us pleasure to be able to
announce the fact that these works are
under way, and being prosecuted with
great expedition. The earth is in fine
condition for laying the pipes, and u
large force is engaged at it,
lt cannot be many days before this
work will he done. The next thing to
be done, will in all probability, he
something else, looking to the ultimate
completion OF the entire undertaking.
we cannot say that we entirely approve
the determination of TIE City Fathers

House Sqnare, but we presume they
nave given tff,n, matter all due reflection
and consideration and that all is well.
Now II some hing can be done to i'm
prove our side!hlks, we would leave not
s1S'i Is nor she. a tear OF regret.
The Court Square fence has become
venerable, ana the poor of the town of
the col0red persuasion are gradually
hppropriating the remnants to memorial
purposes possibly as the visitors to
Mount Vernon do, the twigs they can
break froA about the tomb of our

Possibly the Police Jury considers it
sacrllgious to make IA change that
might be construed to indicate a disre-

We have II sufficient veneration for
things that have served a good purpose
IN the past. but nevertheless. would be
charmed to see some proof of progress,
commensurate with an age of bOasted
enlightenment.
1t the Police Jury claim no share in
our views, and will do nothing to have a
suitable fence placed around the Cour,
House Square, We would respectfully |
suggest that the farmers. who trade in |
Opelousas, bring in sufficient number |
OF ten foot fence rails, to erect an old |
and venerated fashion worm fence,
about 12 rails high, with stakes and
riders.

A Suggestion.

1t Is now settled that we are to have
water works in OpelOusas. The wOrL;
Is under way. and if the weather proves
favorable, 1t will be completed before
spring time. '''e
We do not believe it will be disputed
Ihat uuring the dry seasons Opelousas
dust. ~" 'o'
We have several times spoken thronoh
these columns of the necessity for Street
sprlnklers, and a feeble effort was made
last summer to have one. 1t did some
very acceptable work but it benefited
out lew proprletors only. The com
pla'ht Was that it cost too much ana
| many urged the insufficiency of the
water hDply. In point of fact il was
uiincultSO obtain water in such Ouan
t'ty as was required for more extensive
sprinkling. This difficulty will be met
ny me completion of the water works.
ana lt Will become feasible TO sprinkle
an the streets in the business parts of
the town at reasonable costs.
- NOW, What we propose is that onr
Board of Aldermen purchase a shrink.
Ter and two Bergeron or Norman
horses, which can be used with great
advantage by the Fire Department of
0pelousas, in reaching fires in time to
40 good service; and in sprinkling the
streets OF the town. We saw by tLe
last IRE that occurred here the impos-
slbllity of reaching the fire, by human
Iofce, with the means of the Fire De-
partment. Everything was begged in
the mud. Notwithstanding the gallant
efforts of the firemen. What use have
we Tor steam engines or hooks and
ladders III extinguishing fires, if not
provided with the necessary facilities
OF having them at the fires when
neededq
Horses are now cheap, and the cost
OF keeping them can be more than
paid by persons willing to pay for the
use of sprinklers Merchants are partjc
nlarly interested in having them, whilst
families would cheerfully contribute.
Some are too poor to do SO, but there are
enough who are able to pay and who
would not hesitate to do so. It is nse
less to say more. Let US wake up and
join III the spirit OF the age in which we
fortunately live. The water works and
lights are secured. and if We
would breath healthy air, sprinklers
nave become a necessity during all
Hie dry and sultry months of the wear.
We respectfully invite the serious
consideration of this matter by our
Board of Aldermen.
Let us hear nothing about the lack of
funds, because it the Board will but in
Vestlgate what has been the experience
)f other towns. they will learn that the
'evenues derived from the electric
ight, subscribed for by merchants, bus
less men and families will be quite
sufficient to meet all the EXPENSE of
the streets

The chicken main between Opelousas

in grand style the first of the week at
one OF our local pits, in which the for
mer were the winners with all hands
down. The DR.. SaiZan and Capt.
Thompson fowls proved then selves
the tleetest and most durable "hot ta-
malas" brought out. The irrepress-
ible, allaround sport, Eli Mcdaniel,
of Lafayette. was on hand 10y large
majority, and although his favorates
at the start were sgually unfortu-
nate, his promiscuous ventures in
odds" possibly brought him out a lit
tie ahead at the close. All things con-
sidered the affair proved an exceedingly
agreeable entertainment and pnstime.
