Paul de Fere, has just reached his ma
jority, but today he stands at the head
of the younger literary set in New
York and Boston.
This latest story from his pen prom
Uses to bring him both wealth and
fame. The story is simple story of
society life in London and Paris and is
written in such a charming manner
that it appeals to all.
The action of the story commences
in London, England, and after a lapse
of twenty years, continues in Paris,
France. The life of leader in Paris
society, whose past is not entirely un-
b1emished, is wildly shown. The
story is told in an interest-a bsorbing
manner and the numerous counter
plots are c1ever1y brought out. A
pretty story of love and devotion runs
throughout. The theme is entirely
new and the ultimate outcome cannot
be foreto1d until the final chapter has
been read. AS character Monsieur
Paul de Fere stands out distinctly as
one true to life, and though he is the
cause of most of the trouble in the
story, it is doubtful whether our sym
pathies will not always be with him.
It is rare story of the queer working
of conscience and the inner soul.
The book will be read with a great
deal of interest by the former friends
of Mr.. Wills in this part of the country
The book is issued from "The Alb
hey Press" ia Fifth Avenue, New
York.
It is gratifying to note that the work
of the young author has been we'll re-
ceived and a second edition is now be-
ing prepared for the press.

Hon. w. j. Bryan has decided
to commence the publication of a
weekly newspaper to be known as
The Commoner. Mr.. Bryan has
sent us a circular stating that
he will employ ne travelling agts.

stranger approaches you to take

put him down as fraud. The

both papers will be sent to any

scribers to the COURIER who have
already paid in advance will be
allowed subscription to The Com
mener at the rate Of Is cents the
year. Persons who do not sub
scribe to the COURIER can get The
Commoner from us for year for

How to Prosper .

Do not forget that people
abroad Judge Of the business
prosperity of a town by the num-
ber of advertisements seen in the
local papers. Opelousas should
wake up on this point and let the
world know that we propose to be
in the front rank of the march of
progress and business activity.
No wide awake business man
wants to be quoted as saying that
advertisements don't pay.
A successful advertiser does
more good for his own town than
simply the good he does bis own
business.
Getting business means show
ing people what reason you have
to expect business.
Those who make to-day an ad-
vertising day can make tomorrow
"a business day.
Advertising aud business go
hand in had-one cannot live
without the other.
Give the COURIER your sup
port, and we will give you a good, /,
live up-to-date paper.
