You Must Register TO Vote.

We are surprised to learn from E.
H. Gueydan, registrar of voters, and
Adam Boudreaux, clerk of registra-
tion, that very few people IRE avail
ing themselves of the opportunity to
register. MI. Boudreaux has made
quite a round in the parish, stopping
at the different precincts in each ward,
spending a whole day at each place
and he says that very few voters have
presented themselves for registration.
The office will open at the courthouse
on February I'd and remain open
until 80 days before the election,
when it will finally close. From this
it will be cen that many of our citi-
zens are ~neglecting the opportunity to
place themselves in a position to vote
for the candidates of their choice at
the primary and also at the general
election in April. The total registra-
ton of the parish Is slightly upwards
of eleven hundred. From all accounts
there are about 250o persons in the
parish who can register and from this
it will be seen that not quite half OF
the voting strength Of the parish are
on the poll lists. Candidates should
hurry up and get a hustle.

Lost Their Heads.

The following remarks apply to the
late fire here although they Wer writ
ten concerning a recent fire in HON.
er, La: "Our utter helplessness in
time of a fire was demonstrated Fri
day morning. In a space OF thirty
or more feet between two houses with
a sheet iron exterior lined wall, and
little wind, with any kind Of equip
ment and a supply of water, two OF
the buildings could have been saved.
Instead, enough people to have pick
ed the two houses up and walked off
with them, stood by helpless to save
them. A system Of water supply
should be in some way devised. We
believe such a thing is feasible, and
our city council would do well to in
yestigate and determine if it is pos
sib1e,"
The Meridional. (Abbeville, La.) 1856-1906, 1900-01-20
Ahead Of Time.

Spring is coming on a pace, for
more than a week past the weather
has been mild and under its influence
the black berry bushes have put
forth while the willow, swamp oak
and maple are budding out. Fruit
tree buds are swelling rapidly and a
few cratic blooms are seen. If a cold
wave does not come along soon and
check this premature rise of sap, the
fruit trees will all be in full bloom
when the usual February blizzard
strikes us and we will be knocked out
of a promising crop Of fruit.
The Meridional. (Abbeville, La.) 1856-1906, 1900-01-20
Not So Bad.

Considerable wet and stormy wealth
er has prevented the progress OF field
work on the sugar plantations, but
the situation, looked at in its entire
ty, is very favorable. The recent
cold weather, while it killed the
sprouting plant cane and stubble
down to the ground, did not damage
to the mother canes, and the seed is
generally reported to be in excellent
condition. Although in recent years
our extremely low temperatures seem
to have come in the month of Febru-
airy, our planters feel much gratifed
that they have reached as far as the
middle of January without a serious
evers of any sort from climatic
causes, and should the seaeon from
now on prove mild and propitious, as
it does ordinarily, we may look for
some splendid crops in the sugar dis
trict Of this state.

The Small Pox Situation.

After having enjoyed exemption
from this loathsome disease for many
years, Vermilion parish has run a foul
of a small pox epidemic. We use
the term epidemic, ~advisedly, for al
though there are now only five cases
in town, three Of which are Gonzales
cent, it has made its appearance at
Gueydan, on the Hunter canal near
Abshire's store, and in Mouton's
cove, and being widely disseminated
in Lafayette and Acadia parishes, is
almost certain to get beyond control.
The Boards of Health are urging gen.
eral vaccination and so far have sue
ceeded in isolating all cases, and if
assisted by a vigilant and intelligent
public may soon be able to stamp out
the disease.

LEGUENEc.-At his residence in the
toVE Of Abbeville, La, on Saturday,

years, IL months and rs days.
The deceased was one of the old

bere in 1868, where he was married
in 1869 to Miss Emile Bernard.
For many years be was the leading
wheelright and blacksmith of the

respects an honorable, deserving citi-
zen. His widow and four children,
Jos. R., Paul E., Francois NJ. and

place Sunday evening and was one CT
the largest seen here. The bereaved
ones have our sympathies in the sor-
row and sadness of their bereavement.

Stolen School Books.

For some time past the pupils of
the public school have been complain
ing Of the systematic theft Of school
books, pens, pencils, paper and writ
ing materials. Tuesday Of this week
one Of the scholars detected the Gull
prit, a little white boy about twelve
years old. Night Waterman Athanas
Callahan was called and on searching
the house where the boy lived about
twenty-five dollars worth of school
books were found hidden away, to
say nothing Of pens and pencils.

District Court in Session.

On Monday Judge Debaillon open
ed a civil term Of the District Court
and has been holding daily sessions.
There is considerable probate bust
ness before the court, but as it is of
rather a formal nature there is very
little to attract or interest spectators.
However when the election is over
the criminal court will begin to grind
out its regular grist and then the
courthouse will attract a bigger crowd
than d circus:

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional tire .tment. Halls Catarih
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucus surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foundation
OF the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing it's work;
The proprietors lave so much faith in It's
curative powers, that they offer One Hum
dred Dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list Of testimonials.

With blood in his eyes. cartridges in his
revolver, and a plentiful supply of whisky
in his stomach. Charles Murray rode into
Spnol last night. He increased the supply
of blood in his eve and whisky in his
stomach and decreased the number OF cart
ridges in his revolver while he took pos
session of the town for an hour.
Murray came from somewhere out of the
darkness in the canyon over near Pleason-
ton. AS Sunol is a quiat little town MUIR
rays presence was soon noticed. for a
fusilade of shots from a revolver does not
occur there every nightin the week. When
the 81 OTIS attracted tho, attention of the
good people of Sunol and they peered eau
tously out Into the nighiI they beheld
Murray charging up and down the main
street shooting as he wentd
This was not exciting enough SO MUIR
ray did he usual thing in such cases made
and provided. He rode his Horse into the
saloon owned and operf ed bN man mani
ed Aver. Murray wanted more whisky, and
when il did not come fast enough he shot
a few bottles to pieces with his revolver.
This accelerated the movements of the
barkeeper. and Murray 5tfaed still more to
his overplus of whisky and blood.
During these antics Mdrray's horse was
charging around the saloon and large oil
lamp was overturned. In moment the
room was in blaze, and Murray rode his
horse out into the back yard. Here he
found himself enclosed with a high beard
fence ON three sides, with no hope of es-
cape and the burning saloon on the other.
Digging his spurs into his horse he charged
through the fire and down TIT road up
which he had come.
The people of Supol turned out to fight
the fire first. and when they had succeeded
in putting that out they turned to look
for Murray. but Murray had already gone.
and nothing remained but the damaged
saloon and the recollections of a lively
night for SunOl ..t
