There was to have been a meeting
in Eunice Thursday night of this

cold weather, it was postponed.
The meeting had twofold object
the celebration of the union into a

which have been fighting each other
in that town for many years, and the
PRONUNCIATION Of a sort Of vendetti
against outsiders who intsrferred in
the fight for the courthouse of Evan.

small magin.
Ii is asserted by some Euniceites
that had not outsiders "butted into"
the fight, Euuice would have won the
battle. Now it is proposed that
henceforth the said butting outsiders
shall be uuder the ban of Eunice's
wrath, and that ia every opportunity
Euniee will hit 'em and hit 'em hard.
'Eunice is esperous," said Mr..
Dudley Berwick, one of the prominent
men Of the town, while in Opelousas
yesterday, "and we are looking for

more factions there now-we are all

Videlia is just this side of Natehez,

The proposed conference is to en-
deavor to defect the proposed line
about one and a half miles, SO as to
include Washington on the route.
Washington is at the mercy Of the
Southern Pacific railroad, and Of
course is anxious to get a competing
road.
The Washington meeting Thursday
night was largely attended, and the
people Of that town seem thoroughly
imbued with the advisability Of striY-
ing for new road. It is freely said
that the people there win not hesitate
to vote a tax, and to furnish their
prorata OF the expenses for survey.
Mayor Hanley presided over the
meeting, and editor Taylor was the
secretary. The meeting was harmo-

sincerity Of the Washington people
for a new road.
While the Avoyelles, Palmetto &
Avoyelles Railroad is presumed to be
a branch line extending from Moreau-

VERDICT in AN EX-
TRAORDINARY SUIT
Jury Renders Verdict against Glide C. Devil.
Hers for Thrss Hundred sad sixty Dollars.
The STORY OF A NOTE
Neither Remembered SlgniRg II. and Devil.
Hers Charges DupIsChaIn. fer EhOm Ha
Endorsed, Win Forgery.

A suit out of the ordinary came up
before the civil term OF the District
Court, now in session, this week.
The story, as we understand it, is
about thus:
Mr. Glide G. Devilliers, who is known
as man in splendid financial circum-
stances, was wont to endorse FIR
friends, when he deemed the appeal
worthy Of consideration. He had en-
dorsed for Mr.. D. N, DupIechain, who
halls from Mr.. Devilliers' section of
the parish, on several occasions. But
when Mr.. Duplechain received a mo-
tice from the bank, to the effect that
a note was banked there, signed BY
Duplechain and endorsed BY DeYilIiers,
Duplechainde deniedIhaving madelhe note
or borrowed the money. Devilliers
likewise denied having made the en-
dorsemsnt, and said that If the note
had been given to the bank, Duple-
chain was forger.
And it was because DevilIiers said
that Duplechain was forger, that
Duplechain entered suit for damages.
and was awarded damages in the sum
of $3.50 by a jury last Wednesday.
The note was paid by Duplechain
when it fell due, remembering having
borrowed tie money Deviilieres ack-
noWledged having signed the note
acknowledged it on the witness stand.
