POLICE JURY.
REGULAR HIEETING - RESOLJ
TION TO DESTROY CHESO-
KEE HEDGES-OTHER
BUSIN ESS.

The Police Jury met Last Thursday in
regular session with all the members pres
ent, except Nr. J. O. Blanchet of the 4th
ward.
Supt. Aleman appeared and explained
that owing the failure of the president
to issue a proci2 nation the special election
to levy a school tax in the Ist ward had not
been held and that the people interested
wished the jury to hold the matter in
allegiance. C.r;ain changes in the original
proposition submitted were desired by those
interested ami the question would again be
presented.
BY motion of Mr.. Mouton the roadover-
seers of the respective wards were instructed
to use every effort, in conf JUNCTION with adj
jaCcnt proprieIOrs, to remove all cherokee
hedges and other Instructions along the
public roads in order to maintain the high
ways in proper travelling condition. The
Jury finds III at in many places the hedges
not only occupy Il considerable portion Of
the road, thus seriously interfering with
traffic and proper grading, but have ex-
tended into adjoining fields covering large
areas of valuable land. The object of the
resolution is to secure the cooperation of
the farmers in the radiance of the common
nuisance.
Mr.. Bileaud reported several of
hytlroph ,bia among mules and horses in
IT,. 5th ward and the jury instructed him t.
,.,N precautions in Protecting the pub
.ic.
Sir Buchanan rep 'rtei the grievance of
NJ. VIM Walker rcllrive to the boundary
of the public road near his place, but no
action taken. The ROAD encroaches
up N the property of Mr.. Walker and it
may be necessary for him to his
rcside;ce.
Messrs. J. y. I.aE'te, +. G.. Mouton, and
X. 6. Grcig were appointed to settle with
tn. ;aN-c,llcctor for taxes AID licenses OF

FOURTH YEAR CLASS VISIT NEW
ORLEANS-NEWE EQUIPMENTS
FOR WORKSHOP-OTH
ITEMS OF INTEREST.

The visit ot the fourth year class t" New
Orleans last week, to which reference was
made in these columns, is reported as a sue
cess in every way. The party consisted OF the
entire class, in charge of the English
teacher, Miss Edith &. Dupre, and accom-
panied by a number Of their friends. The
party not only carried out successfully their
purpose of witnessing Sbakespearian play
by great actors, but also visited Sophie
NcwComb College, Tulane University, and
other places of interest IN the Crescent City,
returning to Lafayette last Sunday morning.
The frs, senior class of the Institute has set
an example worthy Of emulation by their
successors.
Interest in athletics has veered little re-
Gently from football to tennis and basket
ball. Tennis and basketball games are
played every day that the weather permits.
The captains of the basketball teams were
elected last week, and are Miss Marie Mou-
ton of Lafayette, and Miss Pearl Roy of
Marksvilc. The name of the organization
is 1.-The Beverley Randolph Basket Ball

Tennis Club and is directing the affairs of
the organization most success 5fu!ly.
The forge shop equipment has been re-
Celveu ana WORK Will DcS!n Al once upon
the installation of the entire plant. This
addition to the manual traiuns department,
will double the usefulness and interest in
that portion of the institution.
The last entertainment to be 6 iven at the
Institute will take place Saturday evening,
Dec. IS, and will consist in an open meet
ing of the -Attakapas Literary Society. This
will be the first of four regular public meet
ings to lie held annually by the society.
Last Friday week the Rules of Order
Club was addressed by Judge Julian Mouton
who spoke on the s.Essentials of Success in
l-ife.' The address interesting and
instructive and enjoyed by every one
present. The Euies Of Order Club is an or
ganizatiou of teachers AMI students formed
for the purpose Of instructing its members
in parliamentary laws and usages. The
meetings of the club arc held every Friday
morning from 9 to 10, at which time the

The Geo. w. Scott Company is
advertised to be at t'all1's Opera
house Dec. 11-12-13. This COM
pany comes to Lafayette highly
recommended by the press and
theater-g going public. An ex-
change says of the Scott Com
pany: Their plays as presented
last season left a most pleasant
memory in their wake. Those
who were fortunate enough to
attend the performances felt
they had enjoyed a treat such as
is seldom their pleasure to re-
ceivc. The merit of this really
great company is now we'll
known and it is safe to say that
all lovers Of good clean amuse-
ment will be on hand when the
curtain rings up on what will no
doubt be the best week stand
show of the season.

The writing contest of Pellerin

ers, is growing in popularity ev-
cry day. People living in the ad-
jacent parishes have entered the
contest. Some Ofthe contestants
have displayed remarkabl de-
gree of skill in their efforts to win
the beautiful Morris chair which
is to be given away. Mr.. Lu-
deau, a resident of Vile Platte,
who has entered the contest, has
sent Pellerin & DcClOuet a fine
specimen of penmanship. Mr..
Ludeau may not secure the prize,
but he has undoubtedly demon
