Barn Burned.

Shortly after nine o'clock last
Saturday night the barn and stable
Of Mr.. FL. G. Comeau, adjoining
his residence on Union street, was
entirely destroyed by fire. The
fire had made considerable head
way before it was discovered, and
although the Hook 6 Ladder Co.
and a number of citizens quickly
responded to the alarm, the
building was too far gone to be
saved. Two fine blooded horses
were burned to death and valu-
able colt was so badly burned that
it had to be shot. Besides these
a fine carriage and a quantity Of
feed were also consumed-the loss
amounting to over $1,000, with no
insurance. The cause. of the fire
is unknown.

Don't Go Broke ON Cotton.

So far, in this section the. sea-
son has been very favorable to
work in the fields and from all
accounts the farmers are taking
advantage of this and forging
ahead with their crops. It is to
be hoped that the farmers of our
section will not confine all of
their energy to the cultivation of
cotton this year, but will diversity
their crops. Then should the
price Of cotton go down to 5 cents,
it would not be felt so kcenly.
We understand that in the case of
those who work on shares this
cannot be done, under present
arrangements, but the farmers
who own their own farms are at
liberty to plant what they want,
and they should not permit the
good prices received for the staple
during the last two years to induce
them to put themselves entirely
at the mercy of anything so un-
certain as is the cotton market.

Oil i'm OpelOusas.

Some weeks ago, shortly after
the discovery of the Beaumont
guyser, 1t was brought to public
notice that we'll on the Victor
Lastrapes property on Main street
had been known to contain oil
ever since it was dug, number
of years ago, and in such quantity
that the water could not be used
for household purposes. An an
alysis of the water was made at
the time and it was found to con-
tain a considerable amount of
pure oil. Shortly after the we'll,
which is thirty-four feet deep,
was bailed out and it was found
that the water veins which en-
tered the sides of the we'll were
free from oil, but that there was
oil in the water which seeped
through at the bottom. Another
fact in connection with the matter
is that other wells in the imme-
diate vicinity contain no oil. Oil
is plainly visible on water taken
from the we'll and a strong odor
of oil may be detected when near
the we'll. 1t is the intention of
the present proprietors to have
the matter thoroughly investigated
at an early date.

Are You One of Them.

Are you one of the subscribers
to the Opelousas COURIER who
have not paid your subscription ?
If so, has it ever occurred to you
that we have TO pay for paper,
ink, printers hire, etc? During
the past few years of hard times
we have been as lenient with our
subscribers as possible and have
only called upon them for a
settlement when we were COM
PEELED to. You are now no doubt
in better condition to settle
these small amounts than for
some time and we trust that it
will not be necessary for us to
again call your attention to the
fact that we need the money.
Send the amounts due at our
expense.
