Balls in this town are out of date,
the opposition of the church to
dances in public places has made
balls unpopular, and all ventures
of this kind for revenue, will prove
failures. If the boys want to raise

put up some entertainment of

moval of the court house from st.
Martinville to Breaux Bridge.
Whether the move Is a serious one
or simply for political effect, we
cannot say but there is already
some complication in the political
affairs of this parish. and if the
Court House question comes up,
it will add more complications to
the political situation. We will
await developments.

down Blackwell avenue heard d terrible
screaming such as only Il woman can
utter, and she naturally went TO see what
was the matter. When she got to the
platform she found a woman standing
over the coffin or rather the pine box that
enclosed it. and conducting herself in
manner that showed beyond doubt.

the lady whose curiosity had been aroused
by the novel state of affairs
''Why, that thing in there" replied
the enraged woman, pointing to woman
who was seated in the waiting room
The thing" by the way, was the widow
of the dead man, and she held the check
for the body, she was comparatively un-
disturbed. Agent Hall finally placed the
pine box, coffin and corpse in the baggage
room. and both women undertook to stay
with it. There was imminent danger of

Mr. Hall told them in his quiet persuasive
voice that he could not permit any such

explained TO her that the only way in
