Determination The Watch
Word.

In and interview with the projectors
of The new trolley electric railroad
system which is u connect Thibodaux
with several of the adjoining towns
the information has been secured
that the work is now being pushed
with more energy and determination
than ever before. The recent decision
of the Supreme Court denying the
Police Juries of the parishes of
Louisiana the right to grant fran.
chises TO electric railway comr anies
or other corporations for the purpose
of using the public thoroughfares
throughout the parish, will not in the
least discourage nor hinder the pro.
moters Of this Electric Railway com.
pany. 's -'--
The right Of way is being secrrcd
from each individua! along the pro.
posed route and the project Is being
met with hearty support every day.
1t is the intention of the men engaged
in the construction of this railway to
appear before our legislature which
meets in Baton Rouge the 2nd Mon
day of next May and advocate the
passage OF an act giving them the
right OF way through The respective
parishes in which their road intends
passing, as we'll as a charter for
operating said road.
We hardly think that opposition of
any consequence will be encountered
before our Legislature in effecting the
passage Of this act which so vitality
concerns the general good and welfare
of the people of South West Louisi-
ana. We are glad to know that the
word failure is unknown to tn. pro.
mOters of this Electric Railway system
aid that they are imbued with an
abundance of hope which is so es.
sentlal IN the furtherauce of any
cause.

A Good Man Gone.

On Thursday morning just as tn,
sun was gliding the tree tops. til,
sonl of old Jimy took its flight to th,
great beyond. We all called hin
"Jimy" but his correct name wa,
Ozemee Maibrough.
Time dealt him heavy blows, and
1t may be for that he always, to the
full limit OF his means and strength
tempered the wind to the shorn lamb
"Jimy" died at the ripe old age Of
70 years and perhaps none of bis
generation have had the experiences
the ups and downs--,hat attended
"Jimy" during his whole life. His
start in life was as common laborer
then, for a few years, assistant sa-
cristan for Father Audissio, then
again plantation laborer, where his
stannch character being appreciated
this position until 1862, when, in
response to his country's call he
shouldered his rifle and marched off
to the front as a private in the 26th
Louisiana Regiment of Infantry. 1t
is needless to remark. that as laborcr,
overseer or soldier, Jim was always
found at his post. When the wal
was over Jimy like all his comrades,
returned to his home peniless but not
discouraged. 1t was then that he
and his twin brother Lemee, (who
died several years ago) established
themselves as draymea in this town
and continued for upwards Of 20
years to hold the esteem and patron
age of this entire community. II
was during this time, that one pecu-
liar feature of Jimy's character was
noticed. He was never known to
ask one of his patrons for settle
ment nor was he ever known to Offer
a settlement to any person to whom
he was indebted. THIS resulted in
pecuniary loss to Jimy only.
Jimy's only sickness was his last
and that only lasted about one week
He died at the residence of his devOt-
ed son Mr.. Benjamin Malbrough

happy his last moments on this earth
