Resolutions of Respect on the
death of George w. Miller who
died Nov. -, 1899.
Whereas, in the providence of
Almighty God, it having seemed
good unto Him to call our brother,
George w. Miller, from our midst,
Resolved, That we tender our
heartfelt sympathy and prayers
to our beloved sister in this her
dark hour of bereavement, know
ing that the Lords ways are past
finding out, and that all things
work for good to them who are
the children of God; and what
seemeth dark and mysterious un-
to us is simply the gateway to
perfect happiness beyond this
life. 1t lis only through greattrib-
ulation we shall ever enter the
kingdom of heaven.
That we further extend our acts
of coincidence to the beloved wife
and little boy and each relative of
the deceased, praying that they
sorrownotas those hayingnohope.
Whilst we deeply mourn the
loss of our beloved brother, yet
we hope our loss is his eternal
gain. Whilst his voice is silent
to us, his spirit has gone to God
who gave it. He giveth and he
taketh away, blessed be the name
of the Lord.
Then let us as a society, and
they as a family, so live and so
walk that when the summons
comes to call us to Il better home,
it may find us on our watch tow
er waiting and longing to go; and
That copy of these resolutions
be forwarded to the bereaved wife
as a mark of our love and esteem
for our brother who has gone
from us.
Be ye also ready, for in such an
hour as ye think not, the son of
man cometh.

about to see what they must plant
to make money as cotton cannot
be depended on and we do not
know what we will pay debts with.
We are learning to raise home
supplies. Most every one of us
have hogs for his meat and quite
a number have been sold in New
iberia and Lafayette during the
last three or four years.
We are also raising a large
Quantity of poultry which helps us
out quite nicely. We are advised
by our valuable experiment station
experts of whom DR.. Stubbs. Maj.
Lee and others are members to
engage in cattle raising. Some
can do this, the larger number
cannot as they have to work rented
land and have no capital to COM
mence with. But few sharemen or
land renters can get credit for sup
plies under the homestead law.
When we can adapt ourselves to
the new way we will be better off,
for as We cannot get credit we will
have to raise our supplies and then
will not get in debt.
Respectfully,
HOG and HOMINY. :

DEAR SIR:

EDITOR LAFAYETTE ADVERTISER
DEAR SIR:
Spring has at last visited us after
one of the long hardest winters
that ever was known in South west
Louisiana, and as usual found us
formerly with very short supplies
of hay, as consequence many
valuable cattle perished. We must
learn to do better than this; ours
is first class soil for native or cul-
tivated grasses and we should learn
by these unneces sary losses to
save large quantities this fall but
farmers like us will by that time
have forgotten this lesson and say,
Oh! we'll we may never have
another such winter. In my visit
to West Texas last year | learned
something that the farmers in our
parish must quick learn or the
most dire calamity will overtake
us and ruin our rich lands forever.
Johnson grass is the danger threat
ened. Some twenty years since
this grass was introduced in Texas
and recommended to grow on dry
sandy desert lands which it does
but is only 4 poor grass to Craze
on green as stock will only eat it
when other grass cannot be got.
1t is used principally for hay and
can be cut three times but makes
only common hay. Once land is
infested with it nothing else can
grow with it.
Here in Louisiana where the
farmers SOW a great many OF Texas
oats, this curse of the earth is get
ting introduced in many places.
Where there is not too, large pat
ches, it can be dug up and the roots
picked out of the earth.

The Comedy Will Deaf with the
Merry Carnival Time.
1t Has Been Written and will be
Played by OrleAnrais.
Especial correspondencc.)


NEW ORLEANS, March-.-The initial
feature of the Louisiana industrial Ex-
position will be one OF its most unique.
aud as far as known, without parallel
in the history of any other Fair in the
country.
1t is play-an original play written
by home people and put on by home
people with the object If promoting
writing for the stage in the South.
This feature is furnished tue Fair BY
the New Orleans Press Club. which or
ganization is making itself exceedingly
active in building up the undertakidg'to
big proportions.
Numbers of the most prominent men
of New Orleans are lending their In.
fluence to TIE promotion of the enterprise
and the city is deeply interested in its
outcome.
The performance will take place at tn.
Grand Opera House on the 5th. 9th. and
7th. of May. The Fair opens at the Fair
Grounds on the day after the last of the
three performances.
The scene Of the play is laid in New
Orleans and its time of action IL the Car.
nival season. 1t is a comedy and it's fun
deals with Carnival times.
Special scenery is promised by the dis
tinguished scenic painter, Frank Cox,
especially designed for the play and
the cast to undertake it. is composed of
the best talent to be found in the city.
The action of the play is interspersed
with bright songs and music and one of
the incidents is a chorus of Mard,- -Gras
maskers which threatens to be treat in
itself.
The Press Club inaugurated this feature
OF its activity last year when it put on
comedy entitled ''The Military Maid"
which was very fairly successful and
which was subsequently, put on pro-
fessionally.
One OF the effects of this project. and
in fact the main purpose sought by the
New Orleans Press Club. has already
been accomplished. 1t has stimulated
endeavOr among the best writers of the
city in play writing and it seems now
likely that next year there will be two
or three plays produced in succession.
The New Orleans Press Club scouts
the idea that plays can be produced in
the North alone. and it believes that the
city of New Orleans. naturally artistic.
in its every instinct, can in time be res
ponsible for some of the best plays enter,
timing the american public.
