HYMENEAL.
ROser-Prejean.

Thursday afternoon there
took place in the sixth ward of
this parish an old fashioned
wedding. dust like it used to
be in the good old ante-bellum
days some three hundred peo-
pie, friends and relatives,
gathered at the home of the
groom and celebrated the day in
true Acadian style. The occa-
sion to which we have refer
ence is the wedding of our
young friend, Marius Roger
and Miss Evelina Prejean. The
guests met in the forenoon at
the home of Mr.. John Roger
and enjoyed that genuine hospi-
tality, which is as different from
the stilted forms of society as
day is from night. The three
hundred guests were seated at
a huge dining table, spread I'M
der the fine old trees Of the
Roger homestead. A dinner,
which consisted Of what is best
in Creole cookery and splendidly
served, was greatly enjoyed by
the large gathering. Toasts
were drunk to the happiness of
the young couple and many
were the wishes expressed for
their future welfare.
After the dinner all were
driven to the Catholic church at
Carencro where Father Grimaud
united the happy pair in holy
wedlock Many who were un-
able to be present at Mr.. Ro-
gers home, joined the party at
the church which was filled with
people. The bride, who made
most pleasing appearance in
beautiful bridal dress, was at
tended by Miss Camille Sicily
and the groom was accompanied
! by his friend, Mr.. Laennec H.
Francez.
! A reception was held in the
evening, affording the young
people an opportunity to bring
the celebration to a fitting close.

THE NEW pOSTOFFICE

The Gazette is informed that
! Mr.. Leo DOucet has made a
proposition to the proper au-
| thOritieS to build suitable post
Office for this town. Mr.. Dou-
Gets proposition conforms with
the conditions required by the
government. Should Mr.. Dou
Get 5 offer prove acceptable, the
new pOStOffice will be built in
Pierce street, between the resi-
dence of Mr.. Demas DelahOus-
sage and the Doucet store. The
Gazette does not believe that a
better site could be selected for
the new pOstOffce. 1t is. as
near as possible, the center of
the town and is easily accessi-
BILE to the entire com munity.
Being in one of the principal
streets it will no doubt be salts
factory to the commercial inter-
estS, and for the same reason it
should prove acceptable to all
other classes of the population.
We understand that Mr.. Doucet
proposes to put up a brick
building adequate to the needs
of the community and agrees to
do so at very reasonable cost
to the government. 1t is safe to
say that if this proposition is ac-
copied, the action of the postal
will meet with the
of a large majority
of the patrons of the postofice.

Racing Circuit.

G.. A. Cochrane, who repre-

citation at the meeting Of race
track owners, held at Lake
Charles last Saturday, reports
that an organization was effected
under the name of the Louisiana
and Texas Southwestern Circuit,
with the following O Ulcers: F.
NJ. Welch, of AleXandr ria, presi-
dent; Mr. Lewis, of Franklin,
vice-president; l.. A. Stafford, of
Alexandria, secretary. 1t is the
intention of the association to
have weekly meetings during
the fall, the first to be held in
Shreveport in Septem Der. AS
Lafayette now forms part of the
circuit it is safe to say that the
Surrey Park will be the scene
of some first-class races during
the fall.

ANSE LABl'TT'E.
Increased Activity in the Field
Several New Wells to
bs, Drilled.
NEXT WELL WILL Be A GUSHER
Tanks Of Oil Sold to Neighbour
ing I)erriCkS.

Through the courtesy of Mr..
Alfred Hebert representative
of The Gazette visited the Anse
Labutte oil field last Tuesday
morning. An opportunity was
had to see the air compressor in
operation at Haywood No. I.
Though this well is considered
to have been spoiled it produces
enough oil to convince the most
skeptical that Anse Labutte only
needs development to become,
what nature intends it to be, one
of the great Oil fields of the
Southwest. Thanks to the en-
ergy and intelligence of the
Heywoods the existence of Oil at
Anse Labutte in paying quanti-
ties is no longer in doubt. Not
only is it settled fact that
Anse Labutte will become one of
the great oil producing sections
of Louisiana, but the experience
of the drillers of Haywood No.
1 Justify the prediction that the
next we'll to be bored will. in all
probability, develop into a
gusher. This opinion is based
upon the knowledge gained
from observations made.
Now that oil has been found
and it is positively known at
what depth it is, increased ac-
tivity in the field is promised
within the next two or three
weeks. The Heywcods will drill
several new wells. one Of which
will be on:Mr. Babb's property,
a short distance from No. l.
Robert Martins company will
drill a few acres away on the
Breaux tract. What the next
few months will bring forth it is
impossible to fOrcsec.
When one sees tanks, filled
with the precious fluid, hauled
to the different derricllS to be
used for fuel, he is impressed
with one predO1nil>In fact,
which is that the long, vexatious
period of Indications" is past.
The real thing is there and in
large quantities. The only dis
feature is that much
Of the oil territory is owned by
a corporation. which, it has been
said, never develops a field, but
that, if true, will be overcome,
because there are others who
will dig for the oil.

LAFAYETTE PARISH
Referred to in Complimentary
Terms at the Knoxville
Summer School.

Lafayette parish has earned
the good opinion of the friends
of public education everywhere
The other day Superintendent,
Taylor, of Bastrop, La, deliv
school which is being held at
Knoxville. Mr.. Taylor made
an able address, describing the
growth of the educational move
Of his remarks he referred to
Lafayette parish in the following
complimentary terms:
"As an illustration of the edu-
cational posi- billties Ofthe State,
the results already realized in
two parishes might be men
toned. Morehouse parish, in
the character, temperament and
the degree Of prosperity of its
people, is fairly representative
OF the northern section of the
State. The same may be said
of Lafayette parish in its rela-
ton to the southern section.
Internationally each is somewhat
in advance of it's neighbOrs. But
what they have done, their
neigh bOrs may reasonably be
expected to do in the near fu-
ture.
"Omitting New Orleans, the
entire State on the average de-
rives less than 30 per cent. of it's
school revenues from local prop
erty taxation. But the parishes
of Morehouse and Lafayette de-
rive considerably more than so
per cent. of their funds from
that source The average school
term for the State was six
months in 1901. In Morehouse
parish it was eight months and
nine months in Lafayette in
1908. AS already explained in
MOrehOuse parish all local taxes
for school purposes are levied
by the police jury. This is the
result of a steady, natural
growth of the public school SEN
timent It is not due to educa
tional campaigning or special
agitation. The people of Lafa-
yette parish have recently voted
a three mill tax to supplement
the liberal appropriations of the
police jury. For this purpose a
special campaign was waged un-
der the leadership of the parish
superintendent and school
board ,-ably seconded by DR.. AL
derman, Gov. Heard and other
distinguished speakers. What
these two parishes have done,
others can and certainly will do.
There is encouragement in their
example.
'Louisiana supports two tech
nical schools, one of which is the
Louisiana Industrial Institute at
Ruston, with faculty number
ing twenty-five and an enroll
ment of over six hundred stu
dents. The other is the South
western Industrial Institute,
situated at Lafayette. Its doors
were first opened to the public
in Septem Der, 1901, making it
our youngest State school. It is
under able management and is
rapidly widening the circle Of
it's influence

The Gazette is called upon to
note the death Of one who,
though yet in his infancy, stayed
on earth long enough to add to
the happiness of a home. We
refer to the sudden death of
little Lionel, the beloved child of
DR.. and Mrs. J. F. MoutOn, last
lib ursday morning after an i'll
ness which lasted only few
hours. Lionel was healthy child
of ten months. The picture of
robust childhood, the little fell
low gave promise of a longer life.
Even the everwatchful eyes of
the parents saw the Fremont
tons of an early death just few
hours before the fatal moment.
The funeral, which took place
Thursday evening, was largely
attended by friends of the be-
reaved parents. Father Cam
biaire, who conducted the fu-
neral services, spoke touching
words of sympathy to the
family.
