primary for Representative having re
moved recently to the parish of ST.
Martin, the position becomes vacan,
blythe resignation of Mr.. Morrow.
It therefore becomes necessary TO fiji
the vacancy. In the race for repre.
sentatives Mr.. ]. G. Akers received a
very handsome vote though lacking
very few to secure him the noimina
ton. We therefore think it but sim.
pie justice to him and the people of
Jeanerette and the large number who
voted Tor him, that the nomination
be given to him, believing him to be
in every way qualified, by reason of
his experience and abilities for the
position. We trust our committee \ i'll
fill the vacancy by placing the name
of j. c. Akers.

form. This solid institution grows
in Importance and strength with each
succeeding year and is to-day easily
the first in rank in the State among
kindred institutions. The many bene-
ficiaries OF this great corporation have
cause to bless the day they became it's
stockholders for through it they own
comfortable homes which they never
could have possessed but for the liber-
al assistance afforded them. Since
there is surplus of funds there are
many objects for which this money
can be used any legitimate and safe en-
terprise with real etsate for it's basis
can get the assistance tf this valued
institution. We recommend the read
ing of it's statement to our people and
also call their attention to the names
of the citizens who compose its board

ence. At the meeting of the Board,
