A heavy rain fell Monday NOR
ming that did much good to all
crops. The crops in general are
good, the plant cane is perhaps the
only crop which is not entirely sa-
tisfactory, the stand is not the
best, but the planters hope that
with favorable weather, the suck
kers will make good for the bad
stand at the present time.
The degree teams of the local
Knights of Columbus returned on
a special train over the Southern
Pacific railroad last Monday NOR
ming about one o'clock from st.
Martinville. where they had gone
to participate in the initiation of
a large class of candidates at that
place. Some sixty.six new mem-
bers were taken into the ST. Mar
tinville council, comprising citi-
zens of that charming little city
and vicinity, among the number
being Judge James Simon and
Sheriff Broussard.
The local boys appear to be de-
lighted with the outcome, not only
of the initiation, but Of the whole
days proceedings. The cordial
welcome extended to the visitors
on the part of the citizens of St.
Martinville. and the magnificent
banquet rendered them after the
initiatory exercises are said to
have been simply grand. "We
have been to many limitations in
this State, and have feasted at the
swellest kind Of banquets," said
one enthusiastic member OF the To-
cal degree teams. 'but st. Martin
vile put them all in the shade. -
This sentiment was heartily con-
Cured in by a number of others
who had taken in the trip, and
from all accounts. the dainty little
town on the Teche must have
"spread herself for a fact.
The banquet was held at the
Opera House, which had been
prettily decorated with bnntng and
cut flowers in profusion for the oc-
casiOn. The st. Martinville string
band furnished the sweetest music
througout the evening, while the
menu was excellent. The tables
were served by the ladies, and, of
course, the wants of every one
were carefully looked after.--The

The Town suIIaIna ProposI.Ion.


Mr.. Editorials the time approaches
for the special town meeting and know
/ cannot attend, / take this way to ex-
press some thoughts on the subject mat
ter Of the meeting.
I believe thoroughly that the toHn10f
Randolph should have . town clerk y
office of its own instead OF paying 500
rent each year. But the main reason for
the town having a building of its own is
the preservation OF its records and files.
The destruction Of these would be a loss
to he.town and individuals that cannot
be estimated.
was town clerk, as many know,
twenty-five years. During that time the
tow. bought a safe that was thought
might preserve records through the lire
OF q very small building and since the
office was removed TO Randolph village
the town has bought another safe, but in
their present location no one can say that
they are safe repositories in case of con-
fiagration OF the building.
Again, during all the time l was town
clerk and even since, there has been a
large amount OF material that should be
preserved and could not be, even with
the small protection OF safe, for want
VI EdAN IQDAn#
Now, instead Of buying more safes 20
protect valuable papers and documents
that are scattered about the clerks office
that ought to be preserved and when
safes will not absolutely preserve them.
it is perfectly clear in my mind that the
safe snd consistent course for the town
to pursue is to have q building OF its
own in which il can have an absolute
ly fire-proof commodious vault in which
to store all the valuable records, files and
papers Of the town, which are too valu-
able to be lightly cared for. Such a
building, with such q vault as is Deces-
sary might be very expensive or not, &C
cording to the taste and feeling Of the
town.
/ am so anxious something should
be done that l suggest in order that
il may he done in a harmonious and
thoughtful manner that a committee con-
sisting OF the selectmen, chairman OF the
board OF trustees OF The village, with
three others chosen BY the meeting. one
from each section OF the town, constitute
committee to examine and formulate
plans, examine locations aud employ an
architect at expense OF the toRn to estirnate
the probable expense Of the same
and bring before the town the results oil
their examinations at future meeting.
