Montpo,nery e.New Town.

Among the progressive and enter
prising places in Louisiana can be
mentioned the town of Montgomery.
Four years ago, before the Valley
railroad was in operation, the busi-
ness houses we're all on the river,
nearly "a mile from the depot. Of
late nearly every business house has
been moved to Machen, the name
given the railroad station, now known
as New Town. In place OF the old
buildings new and commodious strnc-
lures have been erected. Among
those who have built new stores are:
Wardlow Bros, Jno. l. Mccain, B. E.
Woods, Mccain & Thompson, Eth
ridge & Shaw and r. w. Horn. The
last two mentioned have just gone
| into the mercantile business.
Those still in the "old town" are
lJ.H. Williams, w. O. Harrison, W. L.
Dowty and DR.. T. j. Harrison. Mr.
W. D. Harrison has the site cleared
and graded in the "new town" fo'
his large store, and will shortly be
among the merchants at that place
Also, j. w. Ethridge & Son have the
site cleared for their store building.
Montgomery already has a ginnery
and will soon have a saw mill in oper
alton right at their door. Mr.. W. 5
O'Neal is moving his mill outfit iron
near verda to Montgomery, ant
will soon be ready for operation. L
is rumored that Mr.. Hanan, fOrmerl.
with the Globe Lumber Co., will b
interested in the mill, and will enlarg
the capacity and output.
While looking after their busines
! interests, the citizens of Montgomer
, are also looking after their spiritus
welfare, and have subscribed the net
essary amount to build new Metht
;, dist church in "new town." and built
:, ing will begin at an early date.
The bank is doing good busines
and all the other interests OF the tow
are decidedly on the up grade.

been popular with his classes and the
| announcement that he is not to be re-
tanned has. ii is said, caused much dis
satisfaction and bitterness among the
student body.
That Professor Trigg is to pass be-
meath the Rockefeller guillotine is per-
haps more of an inference than GER
tainty but the conclusion is one naru-
rally To be arrived ut by the student or
Mr. Rockefelers business character.
Mr. Rockefeller is scarcely one to cut
sticks for his own back and is no more
likely to bear patiently with Trigg than
he has done with business opposition.
His methods of meeting antagonism
bear out the superstition that Profess
sor Trigg in opposition to Mr.. Rookie
Teller would not last long in Chicago
University after his antagonism pc
came evident and annoying to Its pat
ron.
Whethe the reprot be true or
false. 1t has enough of the possible and
even probable about it to raise seri-
Gus question of the propriety of domi-
nation of educational institutions 10y
such captains of industry as Mr..
Rockefeller. There is Il suggestion Of
turning against the hand that feeds IN
the free criticism by the faculty of the
methods by which the millions which
furnish the endowment for their uni
versity We're obtained. 1t is requiring
much of human nature to ask millions
for the endowment of university and
refuse personal request for the re-
tirement of an antagonistic professor.
There is plenty of ground for Pro-
lessor Trigg's retirement beyond Mr..
Rockefeller's alleged dispieasure. He
