aOur little son, five years old, has
always been subject to Group, and
so bad have the attacks been that
we have feared many times that
he would die. We have had the
doctor and used many medicines,
but Cham berlain's Cough Remedy
is now our sole reliance. It seems
to dissolve the tough mucus and
by giving frequent doses when the
croupy symptoms appear we have
found that the dreaded Group is
cured before it gets settled. There

LET'S IA VE COMPETITION.

AT the regular meeting OF the
Board Of Trade, held Wednesday
night, resolution was adopted in
viting the Boards OF Trade of New
Orleans and st. Louis to cooperate
with this Board in the interest of
securing better and cheaper trans
portation facilities.
The purpose, we understand, Is
to run a line of steamboats, to
Melville, and from Melville to
Washington; and to have a COM
peting railroad run through Opel
ousas from some convenient point.
The Board pledges itself to use its
influence towards obtaining free
rights-of-way for the said road, and
to obtain guarantees from the mer-
chants of Opelousas and contiguous
points to patronize the new river
and railroad lines. The Board
further offers to use the influence
of the organization in having stock
subscribed and taxes remitted. Ci-
tizens of st. Landry, Acadia, Ra-
pides and Lafayette parishes are
asked to join the movement.
1t is high time that something
be done in this matter. The South
elm Pacific has abused the patience
of the people long enough. An abb
solute monopoly of the business on
the part of that concern has rem
dered conditions almost unbeara-
BILE. With fragrant disregard OF
every idea of equity and honesty,
important freight is dumped OF at
any cross-road station, there to re-
main until God knows when.
Where there are competing lines
such things are unknown. Accom-
modating agents meet the custom
er, extolls the advantages OF his
road, and sees that the goods are
delivered at their destination on
time.
The Clarion knows from expe-
rience the inefficiency and negli-
gence of this road. For the past
two months the management oil
this paper has been unjustly criti-
cized for the tardy appearance OF
the paper, while the fact OF the
