mittee holds out for the gold STAN

Local readers of the Clarion
have probably observed that for
the past month or more that paper
has been filled with official print
ing, and that during that time
hardly two columns of pure read
ing matter has appeared in that
highly favored organ. The lynx
eyed editor of the Baton Rouge
Advocate has noticed the fact,
however, and in last weeks issue
of that excellent paper comments
upon it as follows:
"Wlth about seventeen columns
(more or less) of tax sales, adver-
tisements, the Opelousas Clarion
is living on the fat of the land,
while it's readers are enjoying u
diet of dry bones. 1t is fine sport
for the Clarion man, but is an
eloquent tribute to the unpro-
gressive and deplorable internal
condition of St. Landry parish.
we tEO not know whether the
Advocate meant to hint at the
ridiculous attempt of the out
going Board of Aldermen to build
plank sidewalks Give feet wide at
that) in the center Of town, or the
pitifully small appropriations for
public education, or at other glar-
ing indications of the lack of pub
lie spirit and progresslveness in
official circles; but we do know
that when a newspaper publisher
serves to his readers, week after
week, such a "diet of dry bones
as they have been recently offered
by the Clarion, it denotes on his
part such a supreme contempt for
them that no other fact is neces-
sary to establish the existence of
the ''unprogressive and deplora-
BILE" condition referred to by the
Advocate.

Southern Lyceum Bureau.

Ae' W SOlOW0ll, or the
above organization, was here on
Monday for the purpose of ar
ranging for a regular course of
attractions for this town during
the coming fall. At his request a a
number of gentlemen met him at
the Board of Trade rooms Mon
day evening to hear his PROPOSE
ton. He said that Opelousas was
about the only town of its size in
the State which did not already
have a Lyceum Club, and he ex-
pressed the greatest confidence in
our future course after we had
received the advantages of the
Bureaus service for the first sea-
son. This is the first effort ever
made by the Southern Lyceum
Bureau to organize course here,
though through it Gen. Gordon
was secured on two occasions,
and our people have therefore
had an opportunity of judging of
the class of men under its man
agement. Mr.. Coldwell said that
the Bureau had now been serving
several towns in this State for
from two to five years, and they
are all regular patrons now. He
explained that it would be neces-
sary for a number of citizens here
to organize themselves into club,
and to be in fact. the business
managers of the affair. While
we are at liberty to choose any
number of the long list of attrac-
tions offered for this season, it is
proposed that the list include not
only lecturers, but music, singing
and illustrated lectures, thus Civ
ing variety which would be GER
tain to please all. The attrac-
tions offered us include Henry
Watterson, the editor of the Lou
isville Courier Journal, Gen. John
B. Gordon, A. w. Hawks, the
humorist, w. Hinton White, who
illustrates his lectures with beau
tiful views, the Dunbar Hand Bell
Ringers and the Chicago Glee
Club. Mr.. Coldwell offers any
five Of the above for this season
at a contract price within the
means of the people here.
The gentlemen present at the
meeting above mentioned have
concluded to form themselves
into club for the purpose of
securing these attractions, and if
they succeed it will rebound to
the good of the town. It is in
tended by them to Immediately
canvas the town for subscriptions
to season tickets. These tickets
will entitie holders to admission
to all FIVE performances, a double
season ticket being $5-ten adj
missions, and q single season
ticket being $3-fve admissions.
Parties who subscribe to these
tickets will have the choice of
seats and secure same at less cost
than those who wait until the
night of the entertainment to pur-
chase an admission, at which time
| it will cost from 75c to 81.
The purpose of the promoters
of the Lyceum Club is an entirely
disinterested one, and the project
deserves the confidence and sup
port Of all our people.
