ceased. Capt. Mollere was native
of Ascension and had spent nearly all
his life IN this parish, with the nota-
BILE exception OF the four years Of his
service in the Confederate army as
member of the famous Donaldsonville
Artillery. He enlisted as private,
but by faithful performance of duty
and the exhibition Of soldierly quail
ties Of the highest order he earned pro-
motion to the rank of first lieutenant
before the surrender at Appomatox.
For several years after the war he was
engaged in sugar planting, then filled
successively the Offices of postmaster
and chief Of police OF Jacksonville.
During the closing years of his life he
occupied a position of trust and re.
sponsibility in the employ of the
Miles Planting and Manufacturing
Company at Burnside, and was held
ia warm regard there as well as where

Weather and Crop Notes.

Local weather and crop conditions
are quite fairly set forth 10 the sub
Joined extracts from this weeks As
cension letter to the louisa ana Planter:
Donaldsonville and its vicinity have
been favored with several showers
during the past week, but these were
scarcely more than sufficient TO lay
the dust, and few parts of the parish
have had enough rain to be of much.
benefit to the cane crops. Complaints
Of inadequate moisture are general
among the sugar people, therefore,
while the cotton farmers, on the other
hand, say they are getting toe much
of it.
Local Observer W. D. Parks
weather report for the month of Aug
ust shows that rain fell on nine days,
the precipitation aggregating 2.l9
inches. There were % clear and 8
partly cloudy days. The maximum
temperature was 50 degrees above
zero, that figure having been reached
on the oath, 25th, 26th and 9Th while
the minimum, 50 degrees, was reached
on the 10th.
From Geo. B. Reuss, who came to
town Wednesday to attend the meet
ing of the police jury, of which he is
president, it was learned that crops
in the Germania neighborhood are
badly in need of rain.
John G. Klos, also a member OF the
police jury and of the Reuss Planting
Company, when asked what they were
doing at Belle Helene, replied
promptly: CIV aiting for the cane to
come up. Can't do anything until the
crop comes up" Mr.. Klos then
threw suspicion on the inference that
the Belle Helene cane hadn't yet
sprouted by adding that ''The best
way to find out what our crop is doing
is to come up to Belle Helene and
look at it," II is fair to assume,
therefore. that the cane IN th at locality
has attained a measure of growth
about equa % that observed in other
fields OF til, same vicinity-but that
isn't saying much for Belle Helene
after all
Joseph Dicharry, former citizen
of this parish who now resides in New
Orleans, was here this week, and re-
celved warm greeting from his host
Of Ascension friends. He visited
Evan Hall, where he has boiled sugar
for the Mccall Bros Company for a
number of years, and reported as a
result Of his observ ations that Evan
Hall will make about three-qu arter
crop this year. "Colonel Dick IS

journing McManor plantation of

ises a fair average crop, having the
best outlook Of any place up the river
in Ascension.
Arthur Leblanc, former Ascen-
sionite who assists in the man agement
Of the Ashland plantation, Terrebonne
parish, was here last week, having
come to attend the marriage of his
sister, Miss Emily Leblanc, to George
d'Autry, a successful young druggist,
also formerly of Ascension, but now
doing business in New Orleans. Mr..
Leblanc said that the crops in his
section are in fine condition-fner
than any he could see from the car
windows on the ride from Shriever to
Don naldsonvi1le-an that there is
every reason to estimate Terrebonne'
present crop is larger than that OF
last year.

Need of A Modern Hotel.

As we said last week, Donaldson

with modern conveniences and equip
ment throughout to go along with her
big new schoolhouse, her. big new
opera house, her extended and per-
fected Waterworks and lighting sys-
TENS, her paved streets and other i'm
provements. Our town is now provided
with two Of the best hotels oss their
class Ia the state, where guests are
we'll housed, we'll fed, courteonsly
treated and made as comfortable as
the facilities OF the establishments will
afford, hence the movement for a
bigger and better hostelry must not be

responsive to the growing size and
Importance of the town and the increas-

To quote the words of prominent
citizen: with the Improvements now
going on it seems imperative to me
that if Donaldsonyille is TO prosper
as she should, and if she is TO keep
pace with her sister towns, as she must,
her enterprising citizens must get TO-
