d sudden change has come over the
people Of Eurice, accountable for
only by reason of the fact that the
registration Of the western polls sug-
gests that Vile Platte, in the Ian
guage Of one Of the Euniceites, Is
not in it under any circumstances, Z
and that the rich plum may go either
to Eunice or to Mamou.
AS for the people Of the mother
parish, SO far as we know, they have
no preference between Mamou aud
Euniee, if the parish be divided. +
division does come, the whole credit
will be due to the energetic citizens
Of Vile Platte, and If that town loses
the county seat, which i seems to Us
might be the case, the people Of the
old mother parish who oppose diVi-
sion will regard It as q striking
instance of retributive justice.

TIA JOHN MUST STAND
ARTHUR WEEDS MUST
FALL.0

The doctrine Of building new par
ishes upon the ruins Of old establish
cd parishes must strike one as revo-
lutionary and against all sound poll
cies.
st. Landry parish has been stand
Ear beyond the recollection Of man.
It has enjoyed all this time a dis
tinction that its sons have always
looked to with a high degree ofpride.
II has produced brains. money, chiy-
aIrous men and beautiful women. It's
sons have adorned the legislative
halls Of the nation and State and
figured prominently On the bench Of
their country. It has traditions, q
history full of romance and valorous
deeds.
Shall all these be cast~to the four
winds; shall the proud old parish be
dismembered and remain with the fag
end 81 the bargain? Shall the asso-
Citations Of a century be ruthlessly
cut asunder and for what?
For What2
That John must stand, Arthur
needs must fallt!'
That Mamou, or Pine Prairie,
or tie other new railroad towns, may
sell town lots.
That some ambitious politicians
may procure Office?
Is that sufficient reason to pull
down a proud cid parish that a new
one might be buiIded on its ruins?

YILLE PLATTE AND TIE
COUNTY SEAT.

An acquaintance Of ours who vis-
tied Eunice recently and talked 10
Euniee people on the subject Of the
division Of the parish reports to US
that there seems to be absolute con-
fdence there that the county seat
lightning will strike Eunice instead
Of Vile Platte.
Up TO q very recent date Vile
Platte had carried the contest for
division Of the parish almost alone,
certainly without any aid from the
citizens Of Euniee. Instead, Eunice
has always heretofore given the cold
shoulder % The proposition, and left
Vile Platte 70 fight the battle prae-
ticalIy alone. Now. strange to say,

Some Of our Vile Platte friends,
oyerzealous for the division Of the
parish, proclaimed here on Wednes-
day while attending the registration,
that in case they lose the election
they will agitate the question Of the
division Of the parish for twenty
years. # necessary, and that the peo-
pie Of 0pelousas might as well make
up their mind as to that. 1t seems
to us that the divisionists have en-
tirely overlooked the important con-
stitutional question involved, prohibit
ing any change in parish lines unless
approved Of by tWo-thirds Of the
voters Of the parish Or parishes af-
fected. In case the d~ivisionisis
should obtain a majority, the citizens
Of Opelousas and Of the mother par
ish will be amply justified to take the
matter into the courts to protect the
old parish against the arbitrary and
%ruinous division lines adopted in the
enabling act.

Blaze In Stages Corn.

Saturday morning, at about 9
o'clock, Mr. j. B. a. Stage was
hurried to his residence by the in
formation that his corn crib was on
fire.
On arriving there he found that q
fire had started in the middle of the
corn pile in the crib, and was blazing
smartly. Neighbors had succeeded
in subdning the FIRE some, and with
the assistance Of Mr.. Stagg il was
put out entirely.
How the FIRE started Mr.. Stagg
can not imagine, unless it is that a
match was in the corn, and a rat
ignited it.

Don't be deceivedby the loud boasts
Of the divisionists. They are doing
it or a purpose-to boost up their
following and discourage the opposi-
ton. The fight is just beginning, and
will only be decided after the three
weeks hard work which the anti
divisionists have planned, and which
will go on continuously from Saturday
next until the election. Everybody
admits that the campaign will have
an important influence on the result
Of the election. Only let the anti
divisionists stand together and the
victory viii be won
Build us a courthouse in Mamou,
