4 SENSATIONAL "kLOPEMCNY."
"Socjrty" AgOg Over the Marriage Of
Two Of its "Young" Members.

The Orange (TeXas) Tribune Of Oc-
tOoer u contained a half column ac-
count of highly sensational elope-
ment, according to that paper, of two
persons from Welsh. With u few ex-
ceptiOns the account. which we pub
fish below, was true. The "estimable
young lady of We,,h," however, in
stead being "M;>s Katie Bell Rose"
was, before the Q, nial and accommo-
dating Judge performed the ceremony,
Mrs. Bell Plumb, the mother of three
children who now reside with their
father, Dwight Plumb, in this city.
There was no opposition, however,
to the match.
Below is the Tribune's account of it:
K. B. Gardner, an expert rice
thresher, we'll known to the rice farm
ers OF the Louisiana belt, and of late
operating at and around Crowley,
and young man of good repute and
industry, had for a year or more
loved Katie Bell Rose, an "estimable
young lady" of Welsh, in the fue old
parish of Calcasieu. "Miss Rose"
reciprocated the affection of her ad-
mirer, although for some reason her
friends objected to him. In the face
OF this objection she promised to be
his wife, and the couple delayed their
marriage, hoping that by and by the
to it might cease, and
the wedding bells could then ring
But time brought no change in the
disfavor with which "Miss Katie s"
people looked upon the suit of the
and persistent young man
lpulator OF the rice separator. In
fact, it became more positive and an
noying to him. He fumed under it
and bore with it for year; then see
ing that it was working to the visible
lnhappiness of his besrothed, he re-
solved to assert himself He did. He
telegraphed last evening from Crowley
TO Miss Rose at Welsh to pack her
trunk and meet him at the station
there on the arrival of No. 8 on the
Southern Pacific.
When Miss Rose received the tele-

Local Oil DOinps

Capt. b. T. Walshe furnished We'd
nesday's Times Democrat with the fol-
loving news concerning the local oil
field:
On the proven field" all the COM
panles are pumping and many of the
wells now giving good returns in their
daily output of oil have been steady
producers for twenty odd months. The
most prominent of these companies
are the Rio Bravo Oil Company. the
Hill Top of New Orleans. and the
local company, known as the Welsh
Oil and Land Development COMPANY
Other wells owned by Beaumont,
Denver and Mobile persons are also
giving good returns to their owners
though this field, compared with the
Jennings oil field, is quite small
producer. Both these Louisiana fields,
if fully developed, may some day
place Louisiana in the front rank as
an oil-Producing State. Several
wildcat" wells are in contemplation
to be drilled near the proven field.
and at least two will be located, one
north and one due west, and both not
over mile distant from the present
Oil center, while third is now drill
ing southeast of the proven field"
some five miles, and is located within
the corporate limits of the town of
Welsh. This well is down about 400
feet, and is owned by the Louisiana
Oil Company, made up largely of local
capital, and 50 far Driller James
Bowen states that theworkis progress

Aladdin Vincent DiveSted Of Property,

The largest judgment ever awarded
In the district court of Calcasieu was
that last Thursday of J. G. Gray VS..
Aladdin Vincent. The amount involved,
including attorneys fees, court costs,
etc., amounted to about $3.50, 1000.
In reference to the suit the Lake
Charles Press says:
The Vincent suit has been before the
courts for several months and it was
generally thought Mr.. Vincent would
make arrangements satisfactory to all
parties, thus avoiding seizure; the
events OF Thursday disprove this idea.
The writ of seizure includes all the
lands OF the defendant stretching away
from the town of Vinton to the Sabine
river and containing between ten and
Twelve thousand acres, mostly pasture
landS. In the seizure is included
,Homlny Hill, " the home residence of
ar Vincent, with the fine dwelling
noaSe and numerous outbuildings,
oarns, stables, etc. Deputy Huskey
also Slezed more than one thousand
mead OF cattle, horses, etc. Jerry Ca

over the property till turthur orders

Stock Thrive on Rice.

Probably the finest lot of farm teams
including both mules and horses that
come to Crowley are those owned bv
D. NJ. Jeter, who raises rice near the
ferre relift. The twenty mules and
horses owned by Mr.. Jeter are all
sleek and well-fed, and at the same
tlme active and powerful animals.
ohe team OF Kentucky bred horses is
an especially fine pair, and it ia
always remarkable for its fine con.
d1tlon. Mr.. Jeter was recently asked
TO explain the method of feeding that
Kept his stock in such good condition.
Ground rough rice" was the sem
sentlous reply. 81 have been feeding
th's team more or less on ground rice
LOT SIX years, and during the past
year rice has formed their exclusive
diet. work on my farm twenty head
OF horses and mules, and are all fed
on ground rough rice. | dubbed in
with neighbor last year and boupht
a small feed mill capable of grinding
twenty sacks a day and operated by
morse power. About 800 sacks of rice
were ground last year in this mill by
myself and my neighbours. This wear
am saving 400 sacks of rice for feed
and in my immediate neighborhood
am told a large quantity will be held
out for this purpose.
The feeding of ground rough rice
to stock of all kinds has heeu entirely
successful with us, and we find il much
cheaper than buying corn arrl cats.
Bushel for busbel regard rice as q
better feed than either corn or oats.
L know nothing about the scientific
test, but know what the practical
results are.
'As to the cost of feed compared
with corn and oats here is the way I
figure it. A sack of rice has a feeding
value equal to five bushels of oats.
Five bushels of oats cost now 81 so.
10 this must be added fifteen cents a.
sack for hauling the rice to market
and hauling the oats home. | there
fore estimate that when rice farmer
exchanges red rice for oats or sells
his red rice and buys oats with the
money, he must get $3.50 a sack for
his rice in order to break even on the
transaction. Even in the best years
there is some rice on every farm that
will not bring that much.
81 feed rough rice to my hogs, but
do not grind it, The rice is scattered
on the ground, instead of being fed in
troughs. This cOmpels the animals
to eat slowly aud they are thus able
to grind it sufficiently. This method
of feeding also gives the poultry a
chance ''-Crowley Signal.

Rreaux On the Local Crop,

s. Locke Breaux, who was here last
week looking after his interests in and
sround Welsh, gave out the following
Interview to the Record in Jennings:
Il have been looking over the rice
fields in the vicinity of Welsh and
Jennings and must say that the cror
is getting along as we'll as was ex.
pected, under the favorable weather
that we been having for the last two
or three weeks. And the buyer know.
what he is going to get when he buy:
the rico.
"The market is holding out first
rate and the better grade of Honduras
is selling at good value. NV i'm.
preston and idea is that wise man
should turn his goods into money as
the occasion offers, without pressing
to sell.
"Speaking in a general manner,
should say that I am going back to
New Orleans much better satisfied as
to the ability of the average planter
to pay his debt and SWING high.
II know we are all blue about the
low price of rice but frankly must
say that if we made a better grade of
goods, there would be more money
realized for the same amount of effort.
Altogether its not SO bad but that
might be a great deal worse"

Except for possible urgent demands from rail-

prospect is for easy money in January, and a
tempered advance in stock values is not un-
likely, which may continue until the shadow
OF the uncertainties of a Presidential campaign
shall fall upon market which. however san
suine and buoyant & may be, is in peril of
developing into rampant bullishness.
