The beautiful little city of Lafayette.
where the Louisiana Press Convention
was held. is one of the most picturesque
and beautiful little cities in Louis
lana, situated on the borders of the
Attackapas Prairies AMI on the banks
of Bayou Vermilion, OF the rich
est farming sections of Louisiana.
One popularity of the laying out OF
the city is the crooked streets. 1t has
a cosmopolitan population, with those
of French descent predominating.
The business section of Lafayette
is built up in modern brick and con-
crete. The Gordon Hotel is one OF
the best buildings in the State, with
| all modern conveniences, and one OF
the best cuisines anywhere in the
State. There is a splendid little
opera house in the town, capable of
holding about 1900 people. The
Southwestern Louisiana Industrial
Institute is located at this city. 1t is
a credit to the State and is doing an
excellent work for our youth. The
president, DR.. f. L. Stephens, is an
indefatigable worker.
The Press gang during their con-
vention last week were royalty enter

suppose we had it. for according to
President Stephens of the Southwest

at Lafayette in dry weather. and the
down pour was constant all the while
we were there. This was not just as
was expected or desired, and when we
saw and heard of the elaborate prepa-

and noble hearted people Of that beau

land of Evangeline, and then saw one
thing after another have to be aban-

regretted it more by far on their &C
count than ours, because their time,
labor and money had been expended
for us and they had something to
show US worth seeing, and something
by which to remember them and Lafa-

hearts into the matter we hated to see
them disappointed, but this was fate
and could not be helped. However

The twenty-eighth annual session of
the Louisiana Press Association, held
last week at Lafayette, was a perfect
success in every particular except the
weather. That, however. a OF such
a nature as to interfere seriously with
the splendid arrangements made for
the entertainment of the visitors, and
resulted in the complete elimination
of some of the most prominent feat
ures. viz: the carriage drive, the
fourth annual convocation of the
| children from all the public schools
in the parish, and the trip to the gulf
coast. AS it was, the ~proverblal
| Acadian and Attakapas hospitality
was very much in evidence, and the
visitors were overwhelmed with court
estes of every nature, and, as re-
marked by one of the visitors, had all
the plans for their entertainment been
carried out, they would have been
"killed with Kindness
The progress of many of u South
ern communities in the past five years
has been very gratifying, but in none,

so many different lines been SO marked
as in the CITY and parish of Lafayette.
While the phenomenal progress has
been in a measure due to the bOuntiful
and remunerative crops that have
blessed the entire Southland during
that period. most of it is to be ascrib-
ed to the enlightened public spirit OF
it's citizens, of that splendid body OF
progressive men who had the enter
