TreRton farmer arrived. 1t was not
known at that time by either of the

1t was hat night BY the Dickinson

Wednesdays outing were distributed.
1t was learned that while County Chair
man Edward Fry, City Treasurer Will
liam J. Ely and George Il. Record, as
we'll as other advisers Of Mayor Pagan,
had paid for tickets and had signifed
their intention of attending the outing,
none of them called for the hats. 1t
may be they are waiting for Colonel
Dickinson to extend that so-ealled olive
branch there has beeen so much talk Of
since the Colonel returned So far as
the friends of Mayor Pagan are een-
cerned, they have no knowledge other
than the reports in the newspapers. and
what they have been told that Colonel
Dickinson is back from his European
trip. They have not taken the trouble
to find out for themselves by calling at

pressed his Willingness to have the inn
provement made. He has promised in
ferested citizens that the necessary
money would be forthcoming. Two years
more passed aud nothing hat' been dane
to fulfill the promises. The Board Of

Judging by the number of hats that
have been given out there is no lack Of
interest in the outing. More tickets have
been sold than in any previous year and
the committee Of arrangements insists
that this years event will be the most
successful in the history Of the associa
tion.

It is said that other ward crganiza-
ions will follow the exainple Of the
Mayor Pagan to loan them some of his
popular appointees to run for the ward
offices. They think that iRasmuch as
the names of these. popular Republicans
would add strength to thts ticket. she
Mayor ought not to object iEo. the propo-
sftien. The movement, inaugurated by
the Heineyites, is growing 50 popular
that the City Convention may take it
up.
1t would not be surprising. now that
harmony has been restored between the
rival factions that the Republican ticket
this fall would bear the names Of the
most popular men IN the city. Suppose
Reuben Simpson should consent to run
for President of the Board Of Aldermen?
Where would the Democrats fad man

Mayor Fagan concluded that Heiney
and the organization Republicans did not
know as much about the ward as they
professed and he urged Pforr's appoint
ntent. Now the Heineyitesi are willing to
admit that they underestimate Pforr's
popularity. They want 4 popular Re
publican to run for Alderman. Pforr,
they have decided, is the man to save the
Ward for the Republicans and they want
Mayor Fagan to help them to induce the
popular Tax Board Clerk to stand for
the nomination. He is as popular new
as he was when the Mayor had hias an
pointed Clerk of the FAX Beard in
opposition TO the wishes af the oryai.i-
zation. This is what the stalwarts say
and they promise if he is noplliaa ted to-
do all in their power to elect him. Talk

Leader Heiney deaies that this particu
lar sranch is covered with thoras.
I'VE agree with Mayor lFagan;s he is
reported as having said. THAT Pforr's
popularity is unquestioned Already
there are wagers being. made that if
Pforr takes the nomination it will re-
quire an extra set of election officers to
tally his vote

# there was any question as to the
sincerity of the Republican organization
of the Eleventh Ward in their support
of Mayor Pagan there can be none now
Morris Heiney and his band of stalwarts
who have calmly submitted to being
thrown down and jumped on by the adj
ministration ferces, stand ready to re-
turn good for evil. They held out
against the appointment pf George Pforr
as Clerk to the Board Of Tax Commits
sioners, eontending that a more active
Republican should get the place. Pforr
is a voter in the Eleventh Ward. No
one would have known h.s was a Repub-
lican if he had not proclaimed himself
such. He never attended any of the
club meetings and never appeared to be
interested in the affairs sf the ward or
the Republican party. Leader Heiney
and the ward organization told Mayer
Fagan all these things lPforr, however,
had delegation Of business men Of the
ward call on the Mayor in his behalf.

Opelousas is overrun with young
negro loafers who congregate in
front Of saloons and barber shops
in swarms under the pretense of
soliciting "shines,' = and as there
are about 20 boot-blacks to one
customer, the victim who is so
foolish as to risk his person long
enough among this hoard of seal
awags to get a "shine" is fortu-
nate in escaping without having
his temper ruffled, as-ehese young
rascals will insult you if you give
them half chance. 1t is al
most impossible at times for ladies
to pass along the sidewalks in the
principal part of town on account
of this pest having taken posses
sion, and frequently ladies are seen
to cross muddy or dusty streets in
order to avoid these loafers. We
call Clarence Hayes attention to
a gang Of this gentry opposite the
COURIER office, who have been a
source of annoyance to us, and
when demonstrated with give us

The New Hotel.

At a meeting Of the Board Of
Directors of the Opelousas I'm
provement and Development Co.,
held Tuesday afternoon, the Pres
ident of the company, Mr.. John
W. Lewis, was authorized to pur-
chase at once the property of Mr..
Leonce Littell, situated at the
corner of Court and Bellevue
streets, for the price agreed upon,
$500. A building committee
composed of John w. Lewis, E.
NJ. Boagni, G. HI. Cretin aud L..
E. Littell was also appointed,
and they were instructed to ad-
yertise for bids for the construc-
ton of the hotel building to be
erected by the company at once,
The entire building, with bar and
other privileges, has already been
leased, and assures the company's
stockholders a revenue of 10 pei
cent per annum on the amount
invested, namely, $4,000. We
again wish to congratulate the
public-spirited citizens compos
ing this company upon thesheartJ
manner in which they entered

prompt action in making a Ger
tainty a project which will be o.
such great Importance and ad

Communicated !

Now and then we hear whispers
about town hall, and we fail to
discover more than half a dozen
to echo this sound. A town hall
is not a necessity at present. The
extension of the water mains, to
give fire protection to hundreds
Of taxpayers who have received
no benefit for the dollars they
have paid for years for the con-
struction and maintenance of the
system, is of greater Importance.
It is high time that those outside
of the business center should be
looking after their interests. A
way can be found to have their
interests respected.

A Town Hall.

It seems that a number of our
Aldermen are disposed to favor the
erection of a $50, 900 town hall. We
trust that none of them will permit
themselves TO be put upon record in
an important matter like this until
full discussion upon fair notice has
been had, for the action of the Board
ought to be in every case the result
Of diIigent examination and intelli-
gent discussion. It appears TO us
that s2O, 900 more in sideWalksor in
q sewerage system would be of vast
iE. more general benefit, and that the
town can wait for ten years for a
hall OF its own. We cannot yet af-
ford to put on city airs, merely for
ornament or the convenience of q
few. In fine, there are two sides TO
this question, and it should not be
passed upon without due delibera-
tion and thorough discussion.

Take Warning, Borrowers.

A man who was too economical
to subscribe for his home paper
sent his little boy to borrow the
copy taken by his neighbor. In
his haste the boy ran over 81
stand Of bees and in ten minutes
looked like a warty old squash.
His cries reached his father, who
ran to his assistance, and, failing
to notice a barbed-wire fence, ran
into it, breaking it down, cutting
a handful of flesh from his anat-
omy and running a S. pair of pants.
The old COW took advantage OF the
gap in the fence and got into the
cornfeld and killed herself eating
green corn. Hearing the racket,
the wife ran, upset four-gallon
churn of rich cream into basket
of kittens, drowning the whole
flock. In her hurry she dropped
a $500 set of false teeth. The
baby, left alone, crawled through
the spilled cream and into the
parlor, running a $4,000 carpet.
During the excitement the oldest
daughter ran away with thehired
man, the dog broke up eleven
setting hens, and the calves got
out and chewed the tails off four
fine shirts.
