The following, from the Mans
field Journal, is applicable to all
other towns-Opelousas not ex-
|cepted: If Mansfield had fac
tory or two, employing a hundred
people, there would be a great
deal of difference in the amount
of business transacted every week.
People must have ways of making
money before they can spent it,
and the town will grow as the
trade grows. There is enough
idle capital here to build some
sort of a factory. If it gave en-
ployment to only half a dozen
people it would be start. Prop
erly conducted it would pay, and
then other factories would follow.

A sad scene was witnessed by
many of our citizens on the pub
lie square on Thursday afternoon,
when an unfortunate individual,
who evidently was suffering from
alcoholism, made passionate ap-
peal to his Maker, asking forgive
ness for sins committed, but he
was apparently oblivious to his
surroundings, as he paid no atten-
tion to the crowd staring at him.
In appearance he seemed to be a
prosperous business man, and his
actions denoted the stamp of a
gentleman. He was finally taken
care of by the city authorities,
and it will no doubt take careful
nursing to regain his equilibrium.
