ANNOUNCEMENTS.

The undersigned putting aside fac
tional differences, offer themselves as
candidates for the Offices of mayor and
councilmen of this town upon the fol-
lowing platform:
We pledge ourselves to administer
the affairs of this town on strictly
economical basis, and with that end in
view we believe the number of police
men should be reduced to four (chief
and three assistants) as this number
in our judgment is at this time suffi-
cient for the protection of the town.
We pledge ourselves to reduce sal
aries of officers where the same is
consistent with public gold. &
We are property owners unhamper-
ed by promises to any one and our in
dividual interest is closely identified
with the public welfare, and IL elected
will discharge the duties incumbent
on us, fairly and impartially and with
out favor.
The choice of the people in the pri-
maries for the various Offices of the
town will be absolutely binding on us.
For Mayor:
J. P. COLOMB.

tention be paid this crop. Good heavy
oats could be grown yielding so to &C
bushels to the acre, having a market
value of 20 cents per bushel. Mr.
NickersOn will prepare a paper or
oats for the next meeting.
Mr.. Roy called attention to the sue.
cess of Hugh Wallis in growing a
succession of crops on the same land
planting first oats, then peas and fl
nally sowing turnips in the fall, which
last alone yielded revenue of SIP to
an acre. Mr.. Thibodeaux spoke on
planting potatoes in spring and fall,
giving practical advice along this
line. Edmond Martin described how
to grow potatoes in lazy bed, plant
ing seed under 2 feet of straw, bag
gasse or leaves.
The following were assigned SUBJ
jects for the next meeting in addition
to MesSrs. NickersOn and Swiggett:

INJURIES HORSE.
Wire Cut to Permit Passage OF

urday.
BECAME ECHARGED WITHELECTRI-
TCIY WHEN LIGHTS CAME ON.
Valuable Animal Belonging to DR..
J. F. Mouton Badly Injured by
Being EntaEgIed in Wire.

Saturday evening between four and
five O'Clock as DR.. J. F. Mouton was
driving past M. Rosenfield's store
down Cypress street his horse became
entangled in a live electric wire and
was badly burned and shocked. The
animal fell to the ground and lay help
less until some one removed the wire
from the contact with his body. DR..
Mouton. his driver Lewis, Officer
Savoie and VIM. G. Butcher were all
shocked in attempting to extricate the
horse, Mr.. Butcher being slightly
burned about the face. 1t was found
that the DOCTORS horse, very fine
animal, had been severely burned
about the body and legs and was in
helpless condition from the shock
when disentangled from the wire.
Yesterday morning the animal was
badly swollen about the legs and ap-
parently suffering, but it is not known
what the ultimate results will be. DIR.
Mouton fears that the animal is per-
manently injured if not fatally hurt. !,
The wire which caused the accident
was lying across the street all day
having been cut in the morning to al
low the passage of a house. DR.. Mou-
ton says the power house had been
notified of the condition, but nothing
had been done when the current was
turned on about four O'Clock. Mr..
Rosenfield says he passed over the
wire several times during the day,
but as there was no current on no
harm came. A negro who drove just
ahead of DR.. Mouton had his horse
shocked also, but escaped serious
hurt. 1t was fortunate thing that
no human being came in contact with
the wire after the current was turned
on or else fatal results might have
followed, A live wire is an exceeding
ly dangerous thing and the fact of one
being left lying in the street should be
Investigated and measures taken to
prevent such happening again.

PRACTICAL TALKS
AND SUGGESTIONS
Features of Meeting Of Farmers Club
at institute Saturday-Experime
at Demonstration Farm.
COTTON CAN STILL BE GROWN
PROFiTABLY IN THIS PARISH,
Corn Contest Discussd-A Number of
Interesting Papers viii Be Read
at Next Meeting.

Quite an interesting and instructive
session of the farmers Club was held
Saturday afternoon at the Industrial
Institute, six new members putting in
their names. The club was formed a
week ago for the purpose of advancing
interest in agriculture and kindred
subjects and particularly to study
and observe the practical demonstra-
tions now being conducted op.the In
stitute grounds by United S6Ases
Agent L. E. Perrin, of the Agricuitu-
raj Department. Mr.. Perrin has a
plot of Is acres accurately surveyed
and thoroughly drained, upon which
he will conduct this year series of
experiments in the growing of cotton,
corn, oats, peas, japan clover, etc.
The plot of ground is in full view. of
the public road and is intended to
serve as an object lesson to the far
mers of the parish, in the demonstra-
ton of scientific and practical princi-
pies governing farm operations The
club meets every Saturday afternoon
at 2 o'clock or littk later and all
interested in the welfare and pros
perity of our town and parish are cor
daily invited to Join. there being no
fees or dues of any kind imposed.
DR.. Hopkins drew attention to cir
cular No. l of the State Bulletin,
showing that by actual experiments it
had been proved that more cotton
could be made by planting in narrow
rows and close in the row, than grow
~ plants far apart in order to kill
- weeviL through agency OF sunshine.
Experindnts st Mansfield in 19O7-Os
had shown this to be true under con-
diti6ns prevalent in this State con-
trary to the results in dryf districts,
where wide rows and hot sun seemed
to check the ravages of the pest. It
was decided to obtain from the State
department circulars bearing on the
subject and distribute them to far
mers at the next meeting. Cotton it
was contended could yet be grown
probably in Lafayette parish.
The question of cleaning and drain
ing fields was considered and while it
was admitted that more of this had
been done this season than ever be-
fore, DR.. Hopkins and others urged
that more could effectively be done
even now toward the destruction of
the weevil, so many of which have so
TAR survived the winter season.
IA. Roy spoke of his experiments
with Leaning corn, an early and proli-
&c variety which he highly recommend
cd. In this connection corn club or
contest wss discussed and Prof. Swig-
gett promised at the next meeting to
show how the vitality of seed corn
can be determined and best seed Sc
lected. Farm journals as an aid were
discussed and members promised to
bring sample copies Of several for in
spection st next meeting.
J. G. Nickerson argued that oats
were neglected and urged more at
