In moving into this modern equip

A Chance to'sell Lands.

The Sunset-Cantral Lines, in push
ing the agricultural and farming
interests of the state to tie fore,
have inaugarated several innovations
in order to reach the desired end.
Realizing that it would be useless to
bring settlers into the state unless
lands could secured be at reasonable
figures, the Immigration Department
of the S~unset-C Central Lines, under
immigration Agent, John Howard,
has issued a circular calling upon alT
persons having land for sale to for
ward to headquarters at Houston a
list Of the lands with descriptions Of
location and Improvements. The
circular, which is signed by Passen-
ger Traffic Manager S. +. B. Morse,
and immigration Agent John Howard,
sets forth that lands without perfect
tile are not wanted also that COM
missions are not received on sale of
lands; and it furthermore suggests
that prices quoted be adhered to for
reasonable length Of time. The
object of this move of the Sunset
Central Lines is to bring the land
seller in touch with people desiring
to locate in Texas, and is but another
lever which will work to the upbuild-
ing Of this state.
1t is urgently desired that all
persons having land for sale COM
munieate at once with Immigration
Agent John Howard, at Houston,
Texas.

the daughter of E. j. Bonner VINO
lived last year on Mrs. Duplex
Landry place on the west side of the
Bayou, where he farmed. The Frank
lin Waterman gives the sad story as
follows:
Miss Olive Bonner, a young girl
living near Youngsville, in Lafay-
cite parish, was arrested on our
streets last Tuesday morning by the
city marshal, as a dangerous and
suspicious character, and after hay
ing been examined by the Mayor,
was placed in prison, to await en-
quiry of the people to whom she di-
LlGCUGQ bLC IlGAUIkbiCS.
She was attired in mems clothing,
and claimed to be endeavoring to
escape the police authorities of jean
~erette, which strange appearance
excited the officers here to place her
under arrest.
The Jeanerette people pretended
at first to want her for some reason,
but failed to put in an appearance;
and on Wednesday evening, her
father drove id from Yodngsville, q
distance from here of II miles, and
remaining oyer night to rest his
horse and himself, started back
home with his daughter Thursday
morning,
The girl vas not kept in prison
long, being turned over on the we
ming of the same day to some of our
benevolent ladies, who went to the
Jail, taking with them some female
wearing apparel, which she put on
when they afterwards accompanied
her to the home of Rev. A. r. Car
son, Rector of the Episcopal Church,
whose estimable wife cared for her
until the arrival of her father on the
following evening and until the
journey towards home was begun.
Miss Donner is II years old, a
bright and interesting girl, and is
said to have been enticed away from
her fathers home by two young
men, who carried her to Jeanerette,
where she was kept for a week or ten
days she was there passed off for
boy at one of the hotels-but the
people found out differently, when
the two young men escaped with the
girl TO New Iberia by buggy, when
she came down to Franklin on the
morning train of Tuesday. The
boys have not been caught that we
know of, but had the same thing
occurred here, they would have been
captured at any price, and dealt with
in accordance with the rules of that
retribution which springs from the
great moral law, which when Stirred
into violent activity, only uses the
check of statutory rrecept to convulse
its fury.
The father of the unfortunate girl
gave his name as Emerson Bonner.
and, it is said, he comes originally
from the West. He is in very poor
circumstances, which necessitated
his coming by road in a little open
