Police Jury Elects A Delegate.

At its last regular meeting on Tues
day the police jury elected Henri T..
Gueydan Of the 8th ward as a dele
gate to the State Waterways Associa-
ton, and he will be given the proper
credentials asking for membership in
the above association, which recently
perfected a permanent organization
in the city of New Orleans. The mo-
ton to appoint Mr.. Gueydan was
made by w. Quereau, member Of the
police jury from the 9Th ward who
stated the object in substance as
follows:
"That as Vermilion parish has a
large coast front and navigable
streams it ought to be represented in
the Waterways Association; that
there was a project to connect the
Mississippi river with the Gulf Of
Mexico at Galveston by neal of a
navigable canal, and that a represen-
tative might be instrumental in secur-
ing an appropriation for the parish of
Vermilion, to be used for the inn
provement of the waterways in Yer
million parish"
Mr.. Gueydan was present and
thanked the police jury for the honor
conferred upon him, and said that it
would please him very much if the
police jury would assist him in point
ing out some of the duties of the res
ponsible position, and that he would
be only to glad to do what they de-
sired of him. Mr.. Gueydan accepts
the position without any compensa-
ton whatever.

Candidate for the Legislature.

By reference to our published ana
noucement it will be seen that Henri
L. Gueydan is a candidate to repres
sent Vermilion parish in the lowet
house Of our State Legislature. Mrs
Gueydan is a gentleman bi education
and well identified with the agricuk
tural interests of the parish. While
not seeking to make it an issue of the
canvass, the gentlemen and his friends
urge with much show of reason that
the offices should be impartially dis
tributed among the various wards Of
the parish and that the eight ward
being one Of the largest and most
progressive should have . fair show
ing as it presents claims to no other
position within the gift of
the people.

A Busted Corporation.

While Crowley is just now attract
ing much attention by reason Of its
rapid growth from a railroad siding
IN crawfish pond afeW years ago, to
one of the most prosperous commu-
mites in the State, with factor
les and rice mills galore, municipal
water works and electric lights the
political body known as the town OF
Crowley is a badly busted concern.
One of the papers, the Mirror. bLurts
cut the following unpleasant truths:
"The town of Crowley is poverty
stricken. Though the most prosper
Gus town in the state, in a business
way, the chosen authorities have neg
lected their duties most Woefully,
destroying the towns credit, and
bringing US to the point where they
advise the turning loose uron US of a
drove of persons afflicted with q con-
tagious disease.
nThe records show that taxes are
due and unpaid for four or five years
past on a great deal of property in
Crowley. Water rents have been un-
collected, licenses unnoticed, and in
every way the finances of the town
have been neglected.

Nothing Strange.

One of our exchanges says that
during the coming year we may ez-
pect to read something like the fol-
lowing in the daily papers: "About
ten o'clock this morning a horseless
milk wagon loaded with cowless milk
collided with a brainless rider on a
chainless wheel. The luckless wheel
man was badly injured; and being
homeless, he was taken in a horseless
cab to the home for the friendless.

Mourning in England,

Harper's Bazaar.
A friend of ours who visited London last
week expressed establishment at the abb
sence of deep mourning in our parks and
promenades. why she said. 81 expected
to see almost every third person wearing
deep black owing TO the fearful losses in
the war" 1t is true that very deep mourn
ing is becoming almost rare. Very few
wear Grape after the first four of five weeks
of bereavement. Even widowss weeds
recognizes them as weeds" in the usual
meaning of that rather curious expression.
AS TO the widows cap IL has now shrunk
into little triangular affair, something
like the maid-of-all-works morning cap.
Mourning seems 10 be actually going out
of fashion. Mrs. Patrick Campbell, one of
our best-known actresses, appeared at a
bazaar just a fortnight after her husband
had been killed at the front, and she wore
a black chiffon dress, thickly jetted; and
a black chiffon toque, trimmed with jet
and ostrich feathers. replaced the more
usual widows bonnet
