Mr.. REAL ESTATE MAN
Mr.. FARMER

Last saturday some farmers
came to us and plead for time to
make their ent tries, stating that fall
work was behind and they had not
had time to select corn. Time was
granted and Saturday the 23rd in
stead of the 18th was made the
limit.
Now Mr.. Real Estate Man, while
the farmer is vitality interested in
his products, YOU are equally so,
and for that REASON you ought to
be present and prepared to bid on
the three (9) lots of corn that will
be sold Saturday the 90th.
Why? Because when taken to
your offices it would be of great
value in assisting you to make
your deals.

Shiel of a complication of diseases
Tuesday and the funeral was held
at Aerial church yesterday after
noon.

The large number present and
the beautiful floral tributes be-

removes from the community one
who was loved and esteemed in a
wide circle of friends.

reaVement.

ORANGE ORCHARD.
w, M. Ellison Has Planted $50 Satsu.
ma Orange Trees-YieIds a Fine
Fruit.

Mr. w. NJ. Ellison, of the Bank OF La
fayette, has transplanted on his place
the past season $50 Satsuma orange
trees grated on the hardy stock OF
the Citrus Trifoliata. The trees are
one to two years old and are budded
on stock two to three years old and
should begin bearing in from two to
three years. This species of oranges
withstands the cold better than any
other variety and has already proven
it's virtues in this section of Louisiana.
Mr.. Lacy has for years grown the
Satsuma and found it not only hardy
and strong, but very prolific in fruit.
The trees do not grow so large as the
ordinary orange, and makes beautiful
ornamental shrubbery in yard and
garden. When headed with fruit the
trees present most pleasing sight
and richly repay for little caro- and
, the small space occupied.

LAFAYETTE, BATON
ROUGE BRANCH.
Southern Pacific to Begin Active Work
From Port Allen Soon Laying
Rails.
TRAINS CAN NOW BE OPERATED
TO ATCHAFALAYA.
Completion Delayed Because of Diff
cuItes in Bridging Atchafalaya
and Crossing SWamps.

Special to The Times-Democrat:
Baton Rouge, La, April 9.-Reports
are to the effect that the Southern
Pacific will begin active work on that
part of the Port AllenLafayette
branch nearest this city soon. Here
tofore. with the exception OF the con-
struction of about six miles of road
running back from the river at Port
Allen, the activity on this branch has
been confined to the end OF the road
nearest Lafayette, where the road is
in such condition as to have allowed
the operation of trains through Lafa-
yette through BreauX Bridge to the
Atchafalaya. The great delay exper-
fenced in bridging this stream and
crossing the swampS on either side or
that river has greatly delayed the COM
pletion of the branch, which has been
under construction for some time.
Since the activity displayed by the
Colorado Southern in getting its line
operated into New Orleans, the South
ern Pacific which is one of the Harri-
man interests, has displayed the great
est energy in constructing the Port
Allen-Lafayette branch, which paral-
les the Colorado Southern for part OF
the way. This line makes short
route between this city and Lafayette,
with saving of considerable time and
distance by eliminating the detour by
the way of New orleans.
The antagonism existing between
the Southern pacific and the Colorado
Southern interests, as displayed by
the fight maintained here to prevent
the consummation Of the Colorado
Southerns projects, has aroused pub
lie interests, for the development in
this railroad complication and the
movements of both roads are watched
| with interest by the people of this
section, who are the ones to be most
| benefited by the increase of trans
portation facilities. The completion OF
| the Southern Pacific's Port Allen-La
| fayette branch, besides putting this
city in direct connection with a rich
territory heretofore undeveloped, viii
make it the greatest distributing point
| in the State and the most prominent
Transmississippi crossing place be
tween New Orleans and Memphis. L
is estimated by the railroad men wht
are behind the projects now being
worked out here that there will b'
more traffic passing through Batol
Rouge on the east and west route il

CONSTRUCTING PHONE LINE.
Cumberland Men Rebuilding Teie-
phone Line for the Evangeline Pipe
Line Co., to AtchafaIaya.

Foreman ". H. Harvard and gang
CT ten men of the Cumberland Tele-
phone system, have been busy the
past few days reconstructing the tele-
phone line of the Evangeline Pipe
Line Company from Evangeline to the
Atchafalaya river. The men have
had to cut their way through swamps
and thiskets, clearing away trees,
briars and underbrush. While the
Pipe Line has been idle for sometime
these preparations indicate renewed
activity and oil will soon flow again
in the barges on the Atchafalaya to be
transferred through the Plaquemine
locks into the Mississippi river and to
deep water. Mr. Howard and his men
for several days have made Lafayette
their headquarters, extending their
work several miles eastward.
