The City Council met last Monday
evening in regular session with all
members present, Mayor Martin pre-
siding. The minutes Of the previous
meetings were read and approved. Ex-
Tax Collector A. ]. Leblanc appeared
and asked hat he be given a quietus
and final discharge. Collector He
bert said he had not yet secured sure
ty bond and Mr.. Gallery urged that he
furnish personal bond until the sure
ty company signed, which was prom
Used under certainconditions. The
bond is $4,000 and Mr.. Hebert said he
would try to get the personal bond I'M
til he could comply with the condi-
lions Of the surety company. The FL
nance Committee on motion Of Mr..
P~efferkorn, was instructed to settle
with Mr.. Leblanc and give him a quie-
tus and also to perfect Mr.. Hebert's
bond.
Messrs. G. o. Mouton and F. v.
Mouton appeared and presented the
proposition to establish a parish fair,
asking a liberal appropriation in aid of
the enterprise. Both gentlemen
spoke presenting very cogent argu-
ments why the fair should be estab-
lished as a permanent institution for
the progress and advancement Of the
common interest of the entire par
fish. Mayor Martin strongly supported
the proposition as did Mr.. Gallery,
and by motion of Mr.. Caffery the sum
Of $500 was unanimously appropriat-
ed or as much thereof as may be
necessary to insure the holding Of the
fair.
Bids for grad ing and maintaining
the streets and bridges of the town
were opened and read. The Creswell
Bros. bid for $4,000 per year; Robert
and Albert Trahan $245O; Alfred He
bert and L. Arcenaux, $4,000; Adelma
Martin $500. A motion by Mr.. Mont
gomery to award the contract to Mr..
Martin at $500 a year resulted in a
tie: Yeas, Montgomery, Broussard
Doucet; Nays, Gallery Cunningham,
Peiferkorn. Mayor Martin then decid-
ed the issue by voting for Mr.. Mar
tin.
Mayor Martin called attention to the
TACT that the town was entitled to

following committee was appointed to

IT Is IN THE EATING.

Some meat men may laud their
business to the skies with poetry
and prose. and In glowing terms
tell of the great benefit accruing to
mankind through the operation of
their meat markets. but in this par
ticular market neither are necessary.
THE proof of the pudding is I'm the
eating" and Just so 1t is with our
meats. They speak for themselves
and the fine patronage we are enjoy.
ing is conclusive assurance that our
meats are not without merit. While
others may endeavor to secure pat
ronage by empty words and ambigu.
Gus phrases, WE DELIVER THE
GOODS. We confine ourselves strict
ly to padding our own canoe" and
do not rely upon building up our
business by tearing another down.
No question was ever raised as to
the purity of our meats, and the rea-
son Of II is because the opportunity
was never presented. Our meats are
ALWAYS PURE. Try them and see.
