Complete suspension of work on
all departments of the waterworks
has prevailed during the past
week or more, due to the excessive
rains. The contractors have
suffered some reverses in conse-
quence. The brick curbing of the
reservoir settled and cracked
considerably injuring that piece of
work. The sections of the inrake
pipe which were laid were pulled
loose by the settling of the curbing
and they had to be dug up and re-
set. The banks Of the trench to
the bayou again gave away,
causing a great amount of ugly
work to be done over again.
Good weather will be welcomed
by all.

The New
Depot,
Opened This Week to the
Public.
One of the Finest Passenger
Waiting Rooms in the
State.

The new passenger depot OF the
Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany at this place, was opened on
the 3rd inst, to the public. The
building has been completed for
some weeks. but the absence of the
furniture delayed its opening.
Last week the ticket cases were
received. This week the
seats for the waiting room
came in.
On last Tuesday morning,
January 1st., Mr.. \. G. Pickett,
agent, received a Telegram from
Superintendent W. T, Owens,
instructing him to open the new
depot to the public. These in
structions Agent Pickett was
unable to carry out to the letter
for the reasons that the ticket
cases had not been put up, nor
were they equipped. Cash drawers
were not in place, nor were the
lights cut OH.
On Wednesday morning Mr..
Pickett had a force of men at
work, polishing the glass and
cleaning up generally. Low
places about the doors were filled
in with gravel. Lights were cut on
lighting the entire building in and
out. Water was cut on to all the
pipes, supplying the water coolers,
wash basins and sanitary closets.
The telegraph operators table; a
beautiful piece Of work in ash and
hard oil, done at the Company's
shops at Algiers, was fitted into
place and made ready for the
instruments. The ticket cases
were temporarily paced on
trussels and cash drawers
provided. The seats were placed
in position and made ready for
the throwing open of the doors on
Thursday morning.
There is good deal yet to be
done before the equipment will be
complete. The baggage room must
be fitted with desks anu tables.
The signals for the trains must be
arranged so as to be operated
from the operators table in the
new ticket Office; and several other
minor details.
Mr.. Pickett looks forward to the
near future when he will be able
to have his old Office remodled
with a view to better light, more
room and greater conveniences for
the force of clerks and employees.

The Trolley Line is still a live
question. st. Mary's want of
action has caused all the stagna-
ton. If our sister parish had
acted when the question was first
brought up, there would have
been lively scene along the line
to-day. AS it is, not a pound of
material has been shipped.
General Myles, however, is very
patient. He informs the lBERIAN
that he understands that there
will be a meeting Of the st. Mary

Mr.. G.. Winter, the venerable
veteran of the sss0under" was
stricken with paralysis on last
Saturday. He was on the stairs
at the Alma House, when
the attack came and rem
dered him helpless. His right side
is most affected and his speech
has been rendered very indistinct.
He seems to be suffering no pain.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hatch have done
all in their power to make him
comfortable.
MIR. Winter came to this town
many years ago and took charge OF
the Western Union Telegraph
Office as manager. Later on he
resigned his position to accept
position with the Postal Telegraph
Company at this place, which
position he filled at the time he
was taken i'll. We dare say that

Waiting For Blessings.

I stood one evening last summer
watching the pure white flowers on a
vine encircling the veranda. | had
been told that the buds that hung with
closed petals all day, every evening
near sunset unfolded and sent out a
peculiar fragrance The miracle was
more than | had anticipated. A feeling
of silent awe possessed me as saw bud
after bud, as if under the touch of in
visible hands, slowly fold back its
leaves until the vine was filled with
perfect blossoms, most beautiful and
sweet And | said, IF the finger OF
God laid upon these, His flowers, can
do this in way beyond the power of
human study to explain. cannot the
same Divine touch IN ways we know
not of, do as much for human hearts?
Shall the flowers teach us lesson of
patient waiting and holy trust for the
coming blessing? There are hearts for
whom we have prayed seeming closed
as yet to every influence of the blessed
spirit. We have sown the good seed
God rain and sunshine through His
own providence are nourishlng the
Vine the breath of prayer always sur
rounds it, surely by and by the Divine
touch will in way we can least nm
derstaud. bring forth the perfect flow
ers of His race. John Hall.

AphOrisms.

The sweetest fruits are of patti nee.
Self-love is the root of discomfort
ment.
Self delusion is the worst sort of de-
fusion.
The one common good of human life
is happiness.
Sociability and complaisancy is sure

A friend in need sometimes costs a

Depend on no man but the one who
can depend on himself.
There are no conditions that should
deprive us of lofty ideals.
The ideal of every heart, the longing
of every life is happiness.
There is no Independent manhood
without independent thought.
A man never acquires true greatness
until he deseres his own good opinion
of himself
The one only who acts conscientious

others.
Some of our loafers have loafed so
long that they believe that half loaf

The world owes every man a living

The cause of so many divorce suits

Lepers in this Country.

1t has been officially reported that
there are nearly 800 lepers in the Unit
ed States, says the Philadelphia Inqui-
rer, and it appears from the express
sions of opinion which this statement
has elected that the circumstance thus
disclosed is generally regarded with
surprise and with feeling not far re-
moved from CONSERVATION. There is
no just .fication for either sentiment.
Leprosy, which is one of the most an
cient of human maladies, exists in
every quarter Of the world. It's place
of origin has always been a subject Of
dispute, but whether it came, AS some
insist, from the valley of the Nile or
from Far Eastern Asia, it has always
been most prevalent i'll the Orient and
it is from there that the contagion has
proceeded. 1t had reached Europe in
the Christian era and it had lost much
of its virulence and extension when its
dissemination was enormously stimu-
lated as a consequence of the crusade
After that it became terribly prevalent
and it is a well authenticated fact that
in France alone in the year 1926 there
were 4, 600 leproseries or establishments
where lepers were confined and treated.
