prOvementS,

Now that we are soon to have
railroad communication with the
upper part of the parish, passing
through Breaux Bridge and Ar
naudville, we believe it would be
good policy for our people to make
the next Carnival celebration gran
der and more brilliant than in for
mer years, and make every effort
to induce the people from that
section to come here on that day.
We believe with the proper adver-
tisement we can induce them to
come here to be with us for that
grand occasion, and when they
come here, are we'll entertained by
our people, that they get acquain-
ted with our way of doing BUSH
ness, that they see the big stocks
our merchants keep and they learn
how cheap goods is sold in st.
Martinville, we are confident they
will come here to do their trading,
thereby beneftting themselves and
our commerce at the same time.
st. Martinville is certainly doing
fine business, which is gradually
increasing year after year; but we
must not be satisfied with our natu-
raj growth, when we have chance
to secure additional trade by lit
tie exertion, we should avail of it
If we can only induce the people
of the upper part of our parish to

The Knights of Honor, of this
town after installing their newly
elected officers Monday night last,
had a bountiful dinner at the Ter
trou hotel. The tables were ele-
gantiy spread, and the bill of fare
was par excellence, and was great
ly relished by the gourmets who
surrounded the table. 1t was a
splendid affair.
Last year there was a great
deal of complaint because the
Town election was not held, due
to the lateness of the filing of pa
pers with the Secretary of State.
In order that all will be on their
guard, we will state that the next
Town election will be held on the
first Monday in April next. We
will also call the attention of our
people to the necessity of a new
charter. If they will take the
trouble to read the charter of
1913, which is the present charter
of the town, they will soon see the
necessity of adopting a new one.
A certain class of our population
demand electric light, another
class want water works, others
want sidewalks, others want the
tile culvert system continued,
others ask that our streets be kept
in good conditions, others ask that
certain streets be opened and the
state demands a survey of the
town. All these could be had if
the people are willing to tax them
selves, but they are impossible
with the present revenues of the
town. If the people really want
all the Improvements they call for,
let than take up the new charter,
adopt it, and after that if they
choose to tax themselves, they can
get all they want in shape of i'm
prOvements.

THE FREIGHT WAR.
Continued from page -

The scheme is nothing more than an
endless chain. To start the ball roll
ing. one book is given away. The man
who has this book sells the coupons to
his friends. They present the coupons
and Is cents and also get a book, and
sell the coupons and so on. The origi-
nal cost of the book to the agent is on
Nv Is cents and he gets $3.50 for that
amount of money expended. Now the
question will be asked, Where do the
people who are running the thing make
a cent?" Well. it's just this way. The
first book sold represents IS cents.
From that book five others will be sold,
or every time a book is sold they make
1915. OF course there are many people
who will buy the coupons who will
never buy a book, and the lapses are
lust so much more profit. After the
scheme is run to death and people have
been bored until they are sick and tired
of the coupon business, a notice is pub
lished that on and after such a date,
no orders will be given out. The bust
ness will then be closed up and moved
to a new field. The scheme is simple
enough and it is wonder that some
body has not thought of it before.

FIRE At HAvERHILL.
0unmore's Department Store Wiped Out With
Loss Of About $40. 900.

Haverhill, Mass, Nov. 4-The depart
metn store of +. III. Dunmore, on Merri-
mac street. was wiped out by fire, to-
night. causing a loss of ABOUT $780, The
fire. which was evidently of incendiary
origin, was discovered in the basement
and although small blaze at first, 1t
swept over the entire building and for a
time threatened the entire southerly side
Of Merrimac street.
The entire local department was called
out and help was asked from Lawrence,
although before the Ia liter arrived the fire
was under control and their services were
not needed.
Sparks were carried the entire length
of Merri1nac street but bv careful work
the fire was kept from spreading beyond
the building in which it started. This,
however, is a total loss together with
the stock in DunmoreS store.
The loss on stock is estimated at S25 000
covered by insurance. The loss on build
ing, which was owned by George o. Til
ton, will be $4,000; also insured.
During the progress of the fire a Mrs.
Nichols was injured by flying glass strik-
ing one eye. and it is said that she will
lose the sight of it.

disinfecter invented by him short
time ago. A year ago, Professor Rob-
inson placed before the public a for
malcehyde lamp for disinfecting mr.
poses which was pronounced by every
one TO be the best of its kind known.
Since then many decices have been
tried, all tending to the simplification
of the principle involved in Professor
Robinson's idea. None We're success
full, but he presented this year before
the board another lamp on the same
principal, but using formalin which
can be secured ready for use instead
OF making the formalcehyde from
alcohol as in the first lamp. 1t met
with the unanimous approval of the
board and will probably be used quite
extensively before very long.
