HENRY

Editor M%eridioual:
AS it has been my privilege of writ
ing to yonr valuable paper 1 will
again ask for a space in its columns.
| have been absent for some time, but
l will endeayor TO write a few hap
penings of Henry and surroundings.
Everything begins to look prosper
Gus and farmers are gong ahead
with their new crop. The country is
on a boom !; new buildings are going
up all around. Business is some
what dull, but there seems TO be q
bright future. Henry High School
is progressing fine, with Prof. q. j.
Broussard, Miss Coruelia Rice, Miss
Florence Sutton and Miss Annie E.
Hadnot as teachers, and with good
pupils. A church in site; q good
sunday School with Mr.. W. j. Nor
gan as superintendent; no immoral
institute in tue naighborlood so this
makes Henry one ol the quietest little
burgs in The state. 1t, has good
young men and the prettiest girls 10
The country.
Since the primary election every
body has quieted doHn aud gone to
work.
We e buggies, Wagons and
horsemen always on the streets, people
moving TO and fro.
From indications there will be
some weddings IN the near future.
Lands are looking up on account of
so many moving in marriage; all
must have o little house, SO you see
large tracts must slice Off some once
in a while.
Mr.. Ursin Primeanx has moved in
to Judge Trahan's house in Henry.
Sam Glazer has moved to Henry.
Dehots, the postmaster, looks all
smiles OF late whenever the teachers
or the pretty girls go and get their
