It may be of interest to our read
ers to know that the father of Judge
John Fleming of the 2Hd ward was
one of the participants in the terrific
naval battle Of Mobile Bay in which
Admiral Dewey was engaged under
Farragut. Mr.. Flemming was gun
ner of the bow gun on the Confeder-

commanded by Admiral Buchanan.
AS a result of q terrible conclusion OF

the following record of an Ascension
boy as told by the Dolaldsonyille
Chief:
There is a young farmer living in
the eight ward of this parish who has
made a record duringthe current year
of whichany boy may well feel proud.
His name is Adlard Babin, his age
only IA years, and he is the son OF a
widow, Nine Adonis Babin. BY his
own labor, supplemented by hired
help for only two days, he has made
ESQ barrels OF corn, an abundance of
potatoes for the use of the family, has
gathered six bales of cotton aVerag-
ing $50 pounds per bale, and will get
two more. Any parish or section
populated with such boys as that
could not help p%ropering, and the
youth of Ascension will honor them
selves, their parents and their coun-
try by emulating the example Of in
telligent energy and industry set by
Master Adlard Babin.

A Hard Blow.

Mr. Gambril, of Hunters Canal Co.,
informs the Washington Enterprise
that the Southern Pacific Co., will
put in a branch from Cade station to
the Hunters Canal pumping plant, a
a distance Of about ten miles.
This is a hard blow to Abbeville
and e that the Hunters are to
gather all the resources around their
pumping plant to make a town, cut
ting off considerable trade that form
erly went to Abbeville.
In addition to this we hear it re-
ported that the town has already been
laid out. If the plan of utilizing
the canal as a highway for the trans
portation of rice and other products
along the route is practical and put
into operation the blow will indeed
be q hard one. The canal sweeps
around to the westward and is only
about six miles from Abbeville at its
nearest point. If the canal peoples
plan are not counteracted by a rice
mill at Abbeville this town will be in
the consome.

Money Sells Well.

Wednesday evening the Building
& Loan Association held Their regu-
lar monthly meeting and the funds
on hand were sold to the highest bid
der. Money was evidently in de-
mand and the bidding was spirited.
Ophelias Thibeaux, of Erath, bid
on 3 shares of 5000 each at 40 per
cent premium.
CASTOR Dutel, of this town was the
next successful bidder. He got $1,000
on 5 shares, paying 35 per cent pre-
MUM.
The affairs Of the Association are
in a healthy condition and the num-
Der of new subscribers or share hold
ers is steady increasing. The pro-
gress and success of this co-opera-
tive enterprise should be employed to
further stimulate our people in put
ting other needed industries on q
certain foundation.

Get Rid Of the Water Hyacinths.

The water hyancinths have grown
SO rapidly that they have almost COM
pletely filed up the bayous in South
west Louisiana. Bayou Vermilion
is badly infested with the nuisance
and the navigation of the lower por-
ton of the stream is rendered very
difficult by reason OF the masses OF
plants which pile up in front of a
boat passing through them.
Last month a large meeting was
held at Franklin to take some action
in regard to having the hyacinths re-
moved from Bayou Teche and other
streams in St. Maryland a commit
tee was appointed to call upon Major
Quinn of the U. S. engineer office and
another committee to invite the CO.
operation of the Police Jury of Iberia.
We are in receipt of a letter from
police juror W. p. Miller, calling at
tention to a newly discovered chemi-
cal compound which ~effectually des-
troys the hyacinth. The following
communications explain themselves:

GENTLEMEN :-In reply to your
favor requesting me to give a state
ment as to the destruction of the
Water Hyacinth in the Melpomene
Canal by your company, | am pleas
ed to state, that on june %, 1899, [
awarded the Chemical Compound
Company, Of this city, a contract to
effectuany destroy the Water Hya-
cinth in the Melpomene Canal, which
was densely packed with Water Hya-
cinth and other vegetable growths,
there being several thousand square
yards in area.
After being sprayed with your COM
pound, I find the plant entirely OBJ
liberated and efectually destroyed,
both root and branch, and | take
pleasure in recommending it to all
corporations who are troubled with
noxious vegetable growths, as being
the most efficient and inexpensive
mode i have ever employed for that
purpose. Yours respectfully,
VIM. L. McGaRY,
Commissioner Of Public Works.

DEAR Sci have been out to
see the result of the work described
in above letter and although COM
pleted nearly 4 months since, there
is no trace of the ~hyacinth in that

and is of peeuniary interest to the
people of Vermilion parish.

sisting largely of real estate. Among
the property is the building occupied by
the w A. L. Thompson Hardware COM
pany on Kansas avenue and residence
property on the corner of Kious and
Kansas avenue. Mr.. Schenck looked
after Mr.. Mason's interests prior to his
death, and since that event he mas

she willed him all her property She
has relatives in Denver and elsewhere,
but they are not mentioned in the will,
which was opened in probate court to-
day. 1t is witnessed by J. W. Tburston
and A. w. Knowles.
