The figures for horses are especially
interesting because. while they show
a substantial increase in numbers, they
also show the highest average price
per head ever reported in this coun-
try. The price figures at S9l.O2 per
head, which breaks all records for
this class of stock. For years there
have been gloomy predictions that the
horseless age was at hand and that
this class of property would become
less and less valuable said Mr. snow

bile spelled the finish for the horse.

earlier there was electric propulsion

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
BUYS MORE LAND

Yesterday the Southern Pacific
Company bought through the j. G.
Nickerson Real Estate Agency 27.82
acres of land from Raoul Gerac,
completing block ON the south side of
their track just west of town, one
and q half miles in length by 1000
feet in width. On the North side the
company owns another tract almost
q mile in length and an acre wide.
Only one or two small strips remain
to be purchased and then the road
will possess sufficient land for it's
purposes, supposedly the establish
ment of repair shops, switches etc.
Col. E. B. Cushing, Purchasing
Agent Norman P. Randolph and
r. c. Watkins represented the COM
peny in the deal Yesterday. The
conviction seems to grow stronger
daily that the Southern Pacific has
in contemplation improvements on
an extensive scale for Lafayette.
The purchase Of several hundred
acres of land at this point lends color
to the belief that Lafayette will soon
become one OF the most important
railroad centers in Louisiana.

new CATHOLIC CHURCH
Plans Being Matured by Father Teur-
lingS for q Larger Edifice in a
Central Part of Town.

Rev. Father Teurlings, pastor of ST.
Johns Catholic Church, has matured
plans for building new edifice of
Worship, to cost approximately $50, 900
and to be situated in some more GEN.
trail part of town. 1t is understood
that the present plans supersede the
original project to build chapel
north of the railroad track, as the
necessity for this will be obviated by
the erection of church conveniently
located to all the people in town. The
present church is not only on one ex
treme of the city limits and very in
convenient to many church attend
ants, but is totally inadequate in every
respect for its object and purpose. The
structure has been FREQ uently enlarged
to afford capacity for the growth and
development of the congregation, and
consequently architectural effect as
we'll as comfort has been lost in the
effort to secure space. The building
is merely an old hull and entirely too
small and unsuitable for the large
congregations that weekly attend SER
vices. AS matter of pride, if not of
religious pride and devotion, the good
people of st. Johns Church should
;bestir themselves in upholding the
arms of their jealous and faithful
:.;< o1 lou
Other smaller towns are moving up
ward along this line, as instanced by
Abbeville's letting q contract recently
flor q new Catholic church, to cost
Se5O, 600. Now, how does this compare
with the ability and progressive spirit
of the people of Lafa yette? Surely il
Abbeville puts up this sum, Lafayette
should be able and willing to do even
more. AS an indication of definite
progress, Father Teurlings has re.
neived . number of plans for the new
z hurch. and says he already has in
mind just how and where the necessary
funds may be secured to carry out the
measure in hand. Father Teurlings
yaguely hints that there is reason fol
suspecting something doing, and thai
very soon. During the last few days
. number of distinguished prelates
have visited the presbytery and con
ferred with the pastor. and these visits
no doubt have had some connection
with the proposed new church. Th'
following were the guests: Revs. Nc

PAROCHIAL SCHOOL
FOR BROuSSARD

For the past two years Rev. Father
DrouSsaerts. pastor OF the Catholic
church at Broussard has been plan
ming for prochial school there, and
the project seems now about to be
crowned with success. Father Dros'
saerts has furnished US with the fol-
lowing interesting account of the pro-
posed school,
The building will be so feet wide by
IS feet long, of brick and stone and
white brick facing, with a, basement;
and two stories high. Special care
has been given to the proper ventila-
tion and safety of the children in case
of fire. Throughout, the class rooms
will be of the most modern pattern.
The building will be combination

teachers and accommodating about
200 day scholars.

whose mother house is in San An

to take charge of the teaching and
none but Normal School graduates
will have charge of the different
classes.
The building with the furniture and
the grounds will cost nearly 5000,
which amount is as good as secured
already. On Sunday, Jan. 10, the
Reverend Pastor asked his people to
come forward and help him raise the
funds necessary for this educational
work. He gave the example himself
by subscribing $500. His parishon-
ers were not slow in following his
generosity and with the greatest and
most general enthusiasm that very
day thousands and thousands of dol
lars were subscribed for the fund; the
rich giving much, the poor giving
little, but all unanimous in mind anC
purpose and liberality which
neither boil weevil nor panic seemed
to have affected or disturbed.
Work will begin by the middle O
March and it is expected to have thu
school finished and doors thrown ope1
to the Broussard youngsters for th'
coming fall.

Mrs. r. L. Mcbride nee Clara
Sloan, aged so years, one month and
eight days, died last Monday night
at the home of her daughter Mrs.
Jos. A. Chargois. Deceased was
native of ST. Landry parish, but has
lived all of her life practically in
Lafayette, having early married the
late r. L. Mcbride prominent
citizen and businessman. The mother
of large, family, Mrs, Mcbride is
survived by only three children,
Mines. a. M. Martin, Jos. A. Char
gois and son, Edgar Mcbride, now
in Houston, Texas. A. woman of
strong character and sound judgment
the deceased was prominent figure
in the early history of this town and
parish and exercised potent influ-
ence in society during those early
days and subsequently during the try
ing times connected with the Civil
War and it's aftermath. Mrs. Nc
Bride with the noble womanhood of
the South proved her heroism and
devotion in deeds of love and kindly
ministration, and by courage and
fortitude exemplified the truth that
woman, in the darkest hours of ad-
versity often rises superior to man
in his prowess. The ranks of this
noble ancestry are thinning out and
soon the country will possess nothing
but their sacred memory, which
should ever be cherished by future
generations as the richest legacy
and priceless gift.
! Mrs. Mcbride was an Episcopaliar
by faith but as her family were Catho
lies her body was laid to rest in St
Johns cemetary beside the remains
of her husband and children. Tn,
funeral took place Tuesday evening
and was attended by large number

HIGH WATER ENDANGERS
BRIDGE ACROSS GRAND

This afternoon the board of coun-

men to get busy at once in the work
of tearing down the foot bridge across
the Grand river at Palisade. Ii was
reported to the county commissioners
that SO high are the waters in the
river the big county bridge at Pali-
sade is in some danger and the old
foot bridge, being above the county
bridge is in such position that owing
to the way il catches and causes the
drift wood to pile up it increases the
danger that threatens the county
bridge. Consequently the order has
been issued TO remove the foot bridge
and the work must be done quickly.
Commissioner Seocr several weeks
ago advised that the foot bridge he
removed before the high waters but
a number of PaIisade people did not
want il done, il is reported and the
risk was. assumed.
The Grand river is very high and is
rising very rapidly.
While the commissioners do not
fear for moment that the county
bridge at Phlisade will not stand all
the pressure, still no risks will he run
If they can be avoided.
