IMMIGRATION FOR'THE SOUTH.

The close of the Louisiana State
conference on immigration at New
Orleans this week marks the be-
ginning of a movement which will
have not only a local but a wide
spread influence in the neighbour
ing States of Mississippi, Texas,
Arkansas and Alabama. but even
in the States further on the Allan
tic Seaboard, for in time not far
distant New Orleans, with the big
government immigration station
will become the clearing house for
the bulk of the immigration which
comes to Southern States. Active
steps already have begun to raise
a large fund for the work OF adj
vertising literature, and sending
agents into those foreign coun-
tries whose people are most de-
sirable for the Southern States.
Nearly 800 delegates attended and
almost every parish in the State
was represented and in every
parish, subsidiary immigration
associations will be organized.
Mr.. H. M. Mayo, secretary OF the
New Orleans Progressive Union
said that the railroads such as the
Southern Pacific, Texas & Pacific,
Illinois Central, New Orleans q
Northeastern, Frisco and Red
River Valley roads would not only
contribute literature but cash.
He and J. 6. Lee, commissioner
Of immigration, strongly advocat-
ed the truth in all literature and de-
prccated exaggeration. 1t is the
purpose of the Louisiana organi-
cation to work in close harmony
with those of the States OF Ala
bama. Mississippi, Texas, Arkan-
sas and all Southern States.

PAULINE HALL OPERA COMPANY.

| The following mention OF the Pau
line Hall Opera Co., appeared tn tn,
I hronicle Of Nov. q, published il
Augusta. Ca, city of &c, OOOO people
DOrcas and Hiss Hall.
Darcas, as presented at the Crane
| Opera House last night, was quite
generally pronounced to be the bes
| attraction that has been on the loca
| boards this season. Its music is sc
far above the ordinary comic opera
as to be in a distinct class, while il
| was sung in such pleasing way thai
all was captivated.
1t is almost novelty to have a
comic opera that has plenty of ensem.
ble but no chorus. The whole Dorcas
company is but fifteen in number, but
what it lacked in quantity it more
than made up in quality. Everyone
OF the cast was singer and was able
to do justice to the fascinating airs
cOntided to him or her. Particularly
pleasing was the quartette in the first
act, the duet of Miss Knapp and Mr..
Fulton, Mr.. Fulton's solo in the third,
Miss Knapp's solo in the second,
and all that Miss Hall sang. AS some
one said as the audience dispersed, it
was a fine entertainment, and Miss
Hall was the best thing in it. It's all
bosh to talk of Pauline Hall having
had her day-she hasn't-she having
it now, for her voice is as clear and
powerful as ever, and her stage APP
pearance has not vastly deteriorated
since the days when she used to rave
about it. We who saw her last even
ing are not complaining are we?
And Lubin Mugby! Wasn't he the
funny thing In many ways, Mr..
Young made of him the most amusing
comedian of any opera that has been
here lately, anyhow. He showed great
originality of method, and resOrted
to few of the tricks that are usually
employed to win laugh. He didn't
have to, either, for the laughs came
spontaneously both when he sang and
when he talked. He had bright lines
and he made the most of them. Es-
pecially clever and amusing where his
songs, "Just Leave it to Mugby,"
and his waiter, Water
There are some very daring, even
risque, lines and situations in the
Opera, but they are very cleverly
handled and there is no offense given.
The Pauline Hall Opera Com
pany will appear at the Jefferson
Theatre, Lafayette, La, Sunday,
December 10. For this occasion
The Southern Pacific will run an
excursion from Morgan City to
Lafayette. Ask your agent for
lime table and rate.

Let Us Have Better Roads and 4 New
Court House.

Good roads and public buildings
are as necessary to the welfare
and advancement of communities
as good men. This parish needs
better roads and a new court
house. The wise action of the
Police Jury in raising .the liquor
license for the incoming year will
add about $4,000 to the revenue
the parish has heretofore had, and
will enable the parish to spend at
least 500 more every year IN
the building of good roads than
heretofore, and then leave a BAL
ance of about $4,000 annually
that can go towards the erection
Of new court honse. We are a
firm believer in permanent inn
provement and hope to see the
increased revenue, which will &C.
crue from the advancement II the
liquor license, spent on the roads
and for the erection of new
court house. Keep all the roads
passable, but spend enough mon
ey on some piece of road in some
part Of the parish that is heavily
travelled to make it a good road
for all time. .......
This parish is out of debt, and
is one of the wealthiest country
parishes in the State, and there
are two things we need-better
roads and a new court house. We
believe with the increased reve-
nues we can have both without
one cent increase in the taxes. 1t
would not be out of the question,
nor an unreasonable amount, for
It. Mary parish to spend S35, 100
on the roads in the next two years.
AT certain periods of the year, the
four roads leading to Franklin are
impossible and a disgrace, and the
people of the country are unable
to come to the parish site to trans
act their business, unless they
come by rail, which is inconven-
i. mt and costly. The parish now
spends $4,000 a year repair
ing roads, but the amount is
50 meagre for SO large a territory
that the results are almost un-
noticeable. The revenues derived
from the increase in the liquor Ii
crnse and the $4,000 already
budgeted for the roads will enable
Us to put annually not less than
SIS. 900 on the roads and still leave
a balance of over $40. 1000 annually
that can 90 towards the erection
If modern court house building.
We want both good roads and a
new court house, which we have
always favored, and We believe
the time has come when the par
ish legislators should take the
questions up and act upon them.
We are in favor Of new court |
house for we believe that the par
ish is in need of such building
a nd that it can be built easily with |
our incoming revenues, and there
still remain a good sum in the
treasury each year for the build
ing Of better roads without one
cent extra taxation. If we thought
for a moment the roads would not
be put in a better condition we
v ould be bitterly opposed to the
erection of a new court building, |
but as the matter now looks to US
We cannot see why we should not
nave a new court house and better
