Wednesday night we experien-
iced our first trouble and disap-
lpointment, the dynamo would not
work, aud could not be made to
generate electricity, and conse-
'quently, our people were greatly
disappointed, they are already
spoiled with the great convinience
of electric light, which necessari-
'ly makes one dark night, one of
disappointment. These troubles
lido not occur frequently, but they
happen, just as the sun fails
TO show up some time, aud when
they do happen they will serve to
make MS appreciate electricity all
sthe more when we get the light
the next day.

found, particularly for lubricating
purposes; that it could be used in
the crude state without refining
on railroad kernels and for heavy
machinery; that he had made both
a physical test and chemical ana
lysis which compelled him to the
above conclusion. In a word, no
oil field offered such hattering and
tempting prospects to the investor.
Great praise was given to Mr..
j. G. Nickerson for his enterprise
and thrift in bringing these gen.
tlemen here and showing them
over the country. Mr.. Bruck i'm
phasized these things, and showed
most cordially his appreciation of
Mr.. Nickerson's efforts, and spoke
highly of the courtesies that had
been extended his party. and Of
the rich and fertile country be
saw here.
It Is rumored that the visit of
these gentlemen will result in
something more tangible than mere
praise, and that company capa-
talized at 81, 100000 will be form
ed to exploit the field. This ru-
NOR has foundation in fact we be-
lieve, as Mr.. Bruck did not deny
it.
Gov. Hogg left some days ago
for Texas; Gen. Miles for Califor-
MIA and Oregon; and Mr.. Bruck
for New Orleans last night, where
he will stop at the Grunewald bo-
tel.
Let us hope that the long neg
lected, or much misused. oil field
of Anse Labutte will soon take on
a boom; and everything seems to
point now to that happy and much
wished for consummation.

We desire to call the attention of

the good ladies, to the fact that
Mrs. Broussard lost her husband
Monday after sickness of several
months, and a twelve year old girl
died the day after. leaving the un-
fortunate woman in dire necessity,
with her four girls and two very
small boys. Mrs. Broussard can
not make living in the country,

her advised her to come to town.

that this unfortunate family is gi-
ven some help and procured some
employment for her and her

MORE COUNTIES GOING DRY
The following from the Notes and
Query column of the Pioneer Press
will be of interest to all.
@. read in the Pioneer Press the
following, to-wit: according to
statistics recently gathered, about
80, ,OOO,O are living in prohibition
territory in this country. This is
more than .one-third of the entire
In Maine, Kansas and
North Dakota they have prohibition
by state law, in thirty eight others
they have it by local option" Can
you verify this statements If it is
true I want to make use Of it; if un-
true I should like to know it.
A. The statement is substantially
true. The local option idea has af-
forded such grand opportunities for
comparison between ''wet' and
''dry'' localities that an immense
number have gone ''dry" of late.
Texas, it is now claimed, will ad-
dopt state prohibitions next January.
In Tennessee there are only eleven
'twet' counties left.
