Pine Prairie is candidate for the
parish seat Of the new parish De
EEangeline. This you can put III
your pipe and smoke It, and tell the
people about it, said Representative
Clark, whose bailiWick IS that neigh-
borhood, while in in0pelonsas this week.
Pine Prairie is best suited for the
courthouse: ii is most centrally lo-
Gated, being three miles from the
geographical center Of the new par
ish, continued Mr.. Clark Besides,
Pine Prairie has other claims which

fact of it's central location alone
would entitle it To The plum. The
people who live III the new parish are
entitled To have the courthouse To.

The ST. Landry Medical Society met
in annual session Thursday, the 18th,
and after transacting much business
| and listening to scientific lectures
and papers and engaging ii discus
sions pertaining TO the profession,
elected the following officers:
President, DR.. r. G.. Hawkins, Of

FARO and J. G. Vidrine.
The business session was held IN
the evening, at 9 o'clock, continuing
until 6 o'clock. At s o'clock the
public session was held, both at the
parish courthouse
The courthouse was well filed with
townspeople for the public lecture,
drawn there by the announcement
that Drs. Farrar Patton and Denegre
Martin, two eminent scientists, were
to lecture.
And large audience was not dis
appointed. Both these gentlemen
delivered lectures highly entertaining
and instructive, such lectures the
doctrines of which should be spread
broadcast throughout the country,
should be praticed III the homes and
in the schools.
Dr. Patton's lecture was on tuher-
culosis, and was illustrated with
stereopticon views. II was literally
applauded.
Dr. Denegre Martin, native Of
ISL. Landry who has risen to the top
notch Of his profession iii The State,
was greeted with hearty applause
when he made his appearance, and
his lecture throughout was listened to
with rapt attention. He spoke on
general sanitation, and, like DR.. Pat
