given up the Strangers and Empire
Hotels after running the hostelries
for several years. He will continue
operating the saloon in connection
with the Strangers. The manage
ment of the hotel will be taken over
by Mr.. N. T. Bourg, the proprietor,
who will have his Son James NJ.
Bourg in charge of the place Jimmy
is rather friendly boy and has had
sufficient business experience to
make success of the BUSINESS.
We predict for him in advance a
successful career, if he chooses to
remain in the business. This how
ever is not decisive as we under
stand that he has several tempting
offers out of town, being a finished
stenographer and Office man.

For the past four or five weeks
a band of law violators disguis-
ed and operating under various
names given by startled and
frightened people, who see and
meet them to their discomfort,
have been successfully operating
right in our midst, So far they
have not been molested and have
been allowed to continue without
distur bance by the officers Of
the law. We had heard of it for
some time and looked upon it as
joke, believing it might be a
band of young men on mischief
bent, but having as their sole aim
the frightening Of some particu-
lar friends Or rhums. but to our
amazement we find such is not
the case.
Last Friday night two respec-
table and highly esteemed young
men OF this community Messrs.
clarence Bourg and Henry Briggs,
were returning home, having
paid some social call and were
halted by this band of lazy viola
tors and asked to throw up
their hands, whereupon they took
to their heels and were deliber-
aiely fired at by the miscreants
These people were evidently lay
ing in wait, as they emerged
from the Grion Academy lot as
the boys passed by, and were
further violating the law of carry
ing concealed weapons, Whichsub
jects them to a fine OF two hun
dred and fifty doiiafs.We under
stand from other responsible citi
zens that various complaints had
been previously registered and
tue two young men reported the
matter to the proper authorities
tue same night but no one has
been apprehended as yet.
People who are always critici-
sing as for holding up public
wrongs will undou btedly feel
that we are wrong again, but
knowing that the little business
remaining in this town needs
protection, We simply give it the
notice it deserves, trusting it will
be needed and the evil remedied.
Country people come to town
at night, town people like coun- !
try people 60 TO electric theatres
at night, and if this be allowed
to continue the little life an am
usement that remains will be nee
cesarily excluded to those !lo
would avail themselves of il. The

and dealt with according to law,
such amusement, if they term it
such, is too far fetched.

This parish was visited last week
by some of the leading corn people
of the World, as well as educators
interested in the agricultural depart
ments of some OF the largest western
universities Of this country. The
| party was brought over to see for
themselves the possibilities of corn
growing in the parish of Lafourche.
The lands of the Louisiana Mea

tai and progressiveness Developed

most sanguine expectation.

Mt. Carmel Sisters, branch of
the order having presided over the
local convent for over fifty years,
last Wednesday marked an event
full day in the history of the order

and of the order for a mum Der of
years was again reelected to the
important post. Mother Valerie
has many friends here, having
been at the head Of the local in
stitution for d mum Der of years,
and at different intervals. An
other impressive ceremony oc-
curing the same day was the ad-
mission of four postulants who
took the habit of the order. They
were Miss Eloise Higgen botham
of Thioodaux who will in religion
be hereafter known as Sister
Mary Carmela. Miss Mary Ward
of Philadelphia Miss, who will

is native of this town and a
daughter of Mr.. Mat. Higgin bo-
than, while Miss Caillouet of
Raceland is relative of Judge
l.. p. Caillouet.
No mention is made of who was
selected to preside over the destinies
of the various converts, put there

the local convent for the last few .
years, will again be the head here.

The Democratic Central Com
mittee of the third congressional
district met at Morgan City last
Thursday for the purpose of declar-
ing Hon. Robert F. Broussard the
nominee of the party for Congress,
there being no opposition offered.
This is the ninth time he has been
nominated by his party to represent
it in Congress. He has during that
time acquired a prominent position
in national legislation, securing ap-
pointments on several important
committees, starting from the Com
mittee on Military Affairs, until to
day he is the minority member of
the Ways and Means Committee,
the most important committee in
the House.
The com mittee passed resolu
tions endorsing every act OF Con
gressman Broussard during his
tenure of the Office to which he
was renominated and were not
too good Democrats to endorse
his various votes on strictly Re
publican measures, applauding
his votes on sugar, rice and lum-
Der, although they We're directly
contrary and arbitrary to true
Democratic principles. They
specially applauded his votes on
these three industries, as they
are stated to be in keeping with
the wishes of the people and the
interests upon which the coun,
try's prosperity depends. This
practically elects him, although
he will be opposed by Jules Drey,
fus of Iberia: the election will
only be formailty and the op-
position, opposition in name only.
