-Teche Encampment No. Is,
knights of Temperance, held an
interesting session last night, at
which much important business was
disposed. New members were re-
ceived and the order is on the up
grade. A very interesting report
Of the Financial Recorder was read
showing healthy condition of the
finances. Over $4,000 was dis
bursed for relief of sick brothers,
during the year ending September
26th, 1902. This is the financial
relief only, the amount of relief
from the slavery OF Signor, the
emancipation from slnvish, brutal
habits can never be computed,
there is no standard by which to
measure it. This order should ap-
peal to all lovers OF Humanity,
who should give it IA hearty moral
and financial support. The order
as arranged for a series Of enter
tainments four in number. The
first will be given mt the Nendome
Opera House October Goth, and
will consist of that versatile ar
fist and entertainer De Witt Miller
who is famed as an instructive
humOrist and orator, is of world
wide and enduring character Seats
may be reserved at Estorge Drug
Store, tickets for sale at all jewelry
and drug stores. The object Of
these entertainments is to increase
the funds so that the power Of
doing good can be enhanced.
We trust this community will give
liberal patronage.

The cotton gins of the town
and country are in full blast The
snowy staple being put into mar
ketable shape very rapidly. The
round bale gins of the New Iberia
Milling and Development Co. and
the Satterfield Company are run
ming full force and full time with
large stocks Of cotton in the seed
on hand The cotton as soon as
baled is loaded into cars aud sent
East, thereto be manufactured into
goods and sent back to us to buy
at good figures, we paying freight
both ways. 1t seems strange that
we shonld do this, and it will not
always be so, the day is coming
when the cotton will be manufac-
tured where it is raised and
all the concometant advantages
and profits remain with MS, to de-
velop and beautify our section.

On Thursday last officer Col
gin had under custody quite a
covery Of Weary Willis of all races
and colors, about Is in number who
had taken charge Of one of the
freight trains and voted themselves
free rides as far as New Iberia,
where the freedom came to an alb
rupt end. At first it was thought
best to use the willis" to beau
tify tho streets by digging up the
grass aud weeds and otherwise en-
ploying them, but on second
thought their board would be
worth more than the work so it
was decided that they skip the
town Immediately to return no
more, which they did in short
order, the eagle eye Of the office
watching their exit.
