The Railroad Extension.

Despite the unfavorable weather
and the marshy condition of certain
portions of the right of Way-the

which arrived this week and that will
soon be built. A large quantity of
rails and cross ties have been dis
charged here and are strung along
the track for a distance of more than
two squares. The grading at the
west end of the bridge going to
CouIee Kinney is complete and when
the traeRlaYers start in the work will
be rushed to a speedy completion and
the iron horse will make his regular
trips to Gueydan and Ennica.

The Vote on High School Building.

The election held last Tuesday
TO vote on the question as to whether
the town was to levy a p mill tax
and appropriate $4,000 toward the
erection of a fine school building
resulted in a solid vote being cast for
the proposition. Out of ITO regis
tered voters entitled to vote 103
were cast for the tax, and none
against; and out of $4,000 worth
of taxable property Sal, 1888 1-3
was recorded in 4favor of the school.
This is encouraging and shows
that our citizens are alive to their
interests and that there is life in The
old town yet.
We have seen the plan. of the pro-
posed building. 1t will be three
stories high and will have eight large
recitation rooms sufficient for the
accommodation of over 400 pupils.
The third floor will be an assembly
hall fitted with stage, etc. A num-
Der of cloakrooms, also an office,
writing room, etc. is in the plan.
The building is.to be of brick and lc
is estimated will cost S12, 900.
Hurrah for the Abbeville High
School and the town that hasn't a
croker in it when it comes to progress.
