LILY WHITES WIN.

After 10! these many months OF
weary waiting the Lily White Re-
pablicans have approached the pub
lie crib of Federal patronage close
enough to get their noses inside. W..
Z. Howell, of Lafourche, has been
appointed internal revenue collector
vice L. J. Souer, and the appoint
ment of H. S. Suthon, Of Terrebonne
as superintendent of the mint is hour
ly expected. We take these appoint
ments to mean that Roosevelt will
attempt to build up in this State a
clean, white Republican party and in
common with all good citizens we
hail the passing of such despicable
gangsters as Wimberly & Go. .

Big Strike in Chicago.

Chicago, July 14!-While the
wholesale business of this city is
almost completely paralyzed, and
while its businessmen are suffering a
loss of $1,OO0,000 per day, the
striking freight handlers and the rail
roads are in a deadlock, and an
nounce their determination tonight
to fight to the finish over the ques-
ton of one-half cent per hour per
man, or a total of about $500 for
every twenty-four hours; this sum
being divided on n side between
two railroads, and the other between
10000 men.
On Wednesday, after 10 days of
strife the freight handlers returned to
work at the figures offered by the
railroads. The strike it is estimated
cost the business mel of Chicago
over $40, 900 900, and the result was
a decisive victory for the railroads.

WILLIAM GOOGLE, JR.,
Perry, Louisiana.

New Orleans was visited by one of
the most vel thunder, wind, hail
and rain storm experienced in sever
al years at about 1880 O'Clock Tues
day afternoon. For a few minutes
the wind blew at a velocity of forty
n miles an hour from the south and
southwest, and considerable damage
by lightning was reported from vari-
u sections Of the city. The rain
came down in torrents and was the
hardest in a long period of years. In
only tWenty-seven minutes ITO inch
es of rain fell, which is considered
extraordinary. This is at the rate Of
about 4 IL inches an hour.

A Fine Paper.

The biggest price ever paid for a
printing outfit i'll a Louisiana town
ontside of New Orleans, was that of
the Crowley Signal, which was sold
last week for $4,000. The Rice
Journal was included in the sale.
Ihs people of Crowley are among if
not at the head of the most progress
slve people in the State, and as their
city and the rice industry is the
result of generous applications of
printers ink, Crowleyites feel that
no better investment can be made to
develop their section than more
printers ink. There are places
which we won't mention, that would
be without a paper if its monied men

Editor MER1DIoNAL:
Another refreshing shower fell
Tuesday.
Mrs. c. D. o'Bryan and daughter,
Kate, visited Abbev.lle Friday.
Miss Carrie Terrier was the guest
of Miss Leila Leblanc, of Abbeyille,
Monday.
Sam Smith has moved his family
from the Perryhall into one of G..
NJ. Derouen's residences.
Albert Stansbury and Willie Carter
visited Crowley several days last
week.
Miss Ovilia Belanger, of Erath,
and Prof. Smith, of New Iberia,
visited Perry Sunday, the guests of
Miss Carrie Terrier.
Albert Stansbury has a fine corn
crop-one Of the finest in the parish.
This is due to his good work and
excellent management.
Remy, son of HI. j. Stansbury, is
quite i'll with typhoid fever. He is
attended by DR.. F. F. Young, one of
Abbeville's best and most faithful
physicians. We hope he will soon
GOV and be out among his friends
again.
Work has begun on the school
house here. The old Perry hall has
been purchased by the people of
Perry and is now being fitted up
nicely for a schoolhouse. Mr.. Quick,
of Abbeville has the contract, and
Alex Decuir is doing the work. The
property will be enclosed by a neat
wire fence. A good schoolhouse is
what Perry has needed for number
of years and, now, that we are about
to have one, everybody should take
advantage of the opportunity and
send their children to school. The
Perry school has, for a number of
years, been n nj of the best
schools in Vermilion. During this
time it has given six teachers to the
parish namely: Mrs. 1. r. Brum-
field nee Lizzie Mill,) Misses Rosa
Mills, Victoria Gooch. Kate O'Bryan,
Lizzie Stansbury and Wealthy STAINS
bury, all of whom have taught sue
cessful school in this parish for a
number of years. We hope the COM
ing term will equal, if not exceed,
these. preceding years.

A Perry Boy Defends "The Boys
PERRY, La, July Il, 1902.

PERRY, La, July Il, 1902.
Editor MERIDIoNAL:
Under date of June %, 1902.
there came out an article in your
publication entitled "Perry's Bridge
Again and signed by Farmer"
falsely accusing us Perry boys of
some very grave offences. 1t seems
as though Farmer would like to
have the public believe we Perry
boys constitute a band of matauding
freebooters, dlsregarding the law,
and society. But Farmer is
wrong.
/ know, and well do I know, that
under the rough exterior Of the Perry
boy there beats a loyal and generous
heart. We do not claim to be angels,
nor does our aspirations run that
way, but we do claim to merit JUS
tice andjustice we mean to have
Farmer says we stole MI. Mole
IONS chickens, watermelons-vines
and all. Mr.. Molezon has been
questioned and knows nothing about
it. Mr.. Delaune says Farmer"
was served in like manner. He
knows nothing about it. Mr.. Mills,
says Farmer had a horse almost
ridden to death. Mr.. Mills has
been questioned and knows nothing
about 1.-THE horse either for that
matter. 1t is true Philip Nugier had
a set Of harness cut up. 1t was
done in the Spring Hill vicinity and
Philip does not know that we Perry
boys did the deed. But the allwise
Farmer does?
Philip is one Of Us, not one that
gets booty, swipes chickens, water
melons, cuts up harness and raises
merry h as Farmer put it, but
one Of us anyway. Why should we
harm him? Do you KNOW Mr..
Farmer"
The whole article is false and the
boys have authorized me to
state that a cash reward of $3.50
will be given to Farmer to write
another article similar to the above
mentioned, with his full signature.
Thanking Mr.. Editor in advance for
space and time allotted me.
