John Thompson.

A fair audience greeted this ac-
complished comedian last Satur-
day night at Sandoz Opera House,
and it IS safe to say that every
one was more than pleased with
the entertainment-"Around the
World in Eighty Minutes. s." Mr..
Thompson is a wonderful actor
"a whole show in himself. In the
ten characters impersonated, in
terspersed with music, songs and
dances, he kept the audience in a
continual roar of laughter. His
natural genius, cultivated and per-
fected by more than IS years of
constant practice, enables him to
give an entertainment that few,
If any now on the stage, can
equal. We have seen many shows
that cost more and gave less, and
seldom seen any that gave more
satisfaction for the money.
The Opelousas courier., 1902-04-19

Some newspapers as we'll as
some people seem to believe it
their duty to praise those in Office,
although their conduct in Office
is reprehensible. It is the plain
duty of every officer in the State
to so conduct his affairs as not to
give cause even for suspicion. No
officer deserves praise for doing
that for which he was elected or
appointed, and is paid for; and
whenever he fails in his duty he
should be tried as criminal and
kicked out Of office. Whitewash
with the average Legislature is
cheap, especially when assisted by
the Governor. The law requires
all State officers and State institu-
tions to be Investigated by the
Legislature, and when either cam
not satisfactorily explain unsavory
findings or charges they should at
least be dismissed. = Lexington

Dallas has made arrangements
for entertaining free all the vet

hospitality of the city. The re-
union will be held on the fair
grounds, where food and shelter
will be furnished for the asking,
and unless the sleeping accommo-
Idations and the fare be of the
poorest quality known to the aver
age veteran they will be quite as
good as those which many veterans
were forced to put up with at
former reunions and pay we'll for
to boot. 1t will not be through
any neglect of them by Dallas If
the old boys don't have a good

State Municipal Convention.

We have received the following
circular, which explains itself, and
would suggest that all the munic-
ipal officers to be elected here
next Tuesday, or as many Of them
as can do so, attend this conven-
ton; it will be money and time
we'll spent, and cannot fail to
prove of practical benefit to those
interested in municipal govern
ment, and we know from expert
ence that Opelousas has a great
deal to learn in that line:
The 2sth and goth of April, 1909, havo been
named as the dates to hold the State Municipal
Convention i'll this city. This will he the first
convention of this nature ever held in the
state. and from the number of letters have
received from the Mayors Of the cities and
towns, 1T promises to be one OF the largest
gatherings and mast interesting meeting ever
heitt In Louisiana. Many important matters
pertaining to better municipal governm' II
Will be thoroughly discussed, moro particularly
the question: of public education and municipal
ownership of public utilities In this city will
be found municipal ownership of three OF the
most 1mpol tant public utilities, water. light
and sewerage. The city also owns all kinds of
modern stleet-workins machinery, and will
give practical demonstration of the working
or same during the convention; also tests of the
latest oil burners. The State Press Association
holds Its annual convention here the same
dates, which will give all exceptional opportu-
nifty to enlist the newspapers of the State In
support of the work desired to be accomplished
by this Convention in the Legislature. The
two new steel bridges crossing Red river here
will be formally opened with becoming cere-
monies on the last day of the Convention
which will be an Interesting event Special
round trip rates will be given TO the delegates
by all railroads
We hope you will be present and bring as
large delegation of your council as possible;
also your city engineer and attorney. Money
cannot he put to better use by any city or
town than by sending q representative deega-
tlon to this Convention would he pl ased tO
know as early as possible how many delegates
will attend from your city. Very respectful y
yours, f. NJ. WEIGH,

Opelousas is about to lose the
only Chinaman in town, as he is
making preparation to depart for
China, having made ''fortune"
during his short stay among us,
Since the average Chinaman lives
ON ten cents a Gay in this country,
and makes probably 50 per day in
the laundry business, it does not
take him long to save o fortune,
as a dime of our money buys as
much in China as dollar does in
the United States. No wonder
the Chinese want the bars lifted
so they can swarm all over this
glorious country and drain it to
the detriment of the American
citizen, since the Chinaman never
becomes a citizen of the land
where he makes his fortune.
