The notice given by Postmaster

effect that expectorating i'll lie post

has had the effect Of partially stop

hopes that the inhibition viii be gene

get the habit -or rather forget the
habit.

DID NOT sign PETITION.
SenafoF BaFausss Vas NO Parfy 10 Urging the
appointment 81 he. Barausn.

The Clarion is requested to say
that Senator Homer Barousse was not
q party to urging the appointment Of
Mr. r. e. Derouen as one of the Su-
pervisors of Election Of st. Landry
parish, and did not sign Mr.. Derouan's
or any Of the other applicants petit
ton to the Governor.
The reason for this statement IS
that it has been currently reported
that the Governor had turned down"
all four of the Representatives from
this parish and the two Senators Of
this district. The claim that the
four st. Landry Representatives and
Senator Lazaro signed the petition
and otherwise urged the appointment
of Mr.. Derouen seems well founded.

The bill was let to bidders, and We
understand that there we're many
bids submitted, some from the large
metropolitan firms Of the State, and
the fact that the order was awarded
to Messrs. Mornhinveg under the cir
~cumstances stated is especially graft
flying to these gentlemen.

hundred covers, and six dozen pieces
of hollow ware.
The entire lot will be On exhibition
