NICE PICNIC.

Wednesday morning three large
cart loads of children passed
through town, and their noisy lit.
tie voices, expressing their plea
sure in a pretty high tone, drew
the people to their doors to see
the cause of such merriment. 1t
was the boys and girls OF the
schools of the Convent of Mercy
who were on their way to the st.
John plantation to have their an
naal picnic.
Mr.. Albert Levert had sent the
three large carts, the bottom of
which was covered with hay, SO
the little ones had a hay ride to the
picnic ground, which was the
beautiful grove on the st. John, in
front of Mr.. Levert's palatial resi-
dence.
Mrs. Albert Levert, Miss Ste.
phanie Levert and other ladies had
arranged the grounds with tables
and benches and assisted the Sis
ters in taking care of the boiste
rous little guests.
1t was indeed. happy day, an(
a happy CROWD.

IT WAS BAD LAW.

4. Mr.. j. G. Bienvenu of the Board
of Supervisors publishes in this
issue of the Messenger an ordi-
nance which was passed by the
Town Council in 1860 to show that
the Council was right then, and
wrong today in passing an ordi-
nance that is different from that
adopted in 1900.
In our opinion this is weak
argument, the Council may have
recognized that their predecessors
were wrong, and they enacted an
ordinance, which, according to the
opinion of the town attorneys, is
legal and binding.
In 1900 the Legislature of Lou
isiana passed the famous First
Cousin law, but the simple fact of
passing that law did not make it
legal and binding, and the Su-
preme Court decided that Cousin
Law was not properly passed, and
not good law, and the Legislature
two years ago had to make anoth-
er First Cousin law in the proper
way.
The Council did not 90 to Court to
find out that the 1900 ordinance wa
not according to law, on the opinion
of their advisers, like the legisla.
ture, they adopted another ordi.
nance to meet the requirements Of
the law.
