One riding around town can
not but be impressed with the rapid
strides Opelousas is making IN the
4 way of improvements. Buildings

/ residences. business palaces and
cabins. The old town is moving
i right along. Let her move.
The steam laundry is in full
blast, and doing splendid work.
This institution has long been need
ed in Opelousas. Heretofore the
negro wash-wemen had a sort OF a
trust among themselves, and twas
hard matter to get them to do
washing at a reasonable price. And
when you were dissatisfied with
one, and discharged her, it was next
to impossible to get any of them to
i do the work. It was q union With
q iron-clad rules and regulations.

der obligations TO Mr., E, NJ. Boagni
for the kind tender of his large ho-
