AND IT WILL SOON BE
SWEET EVANGELINE
ne New Parish Is Being Created Without opposi-
tion--House Bill Amended BY
Senate.

Paulln Fonten0t's House Bill Great.
ling the parish Of Evaneeline was
amended by the Senate Committe. on
Parochial Affairs Tuesday. and passed
the Senate on Thursday and will be
concurred in by the House when i
goes back to that body for passage.
The amendment changes the lines
OF the original bill, as voted on bv
the people and embraced ii Mr..
Fontenot's bill, leaving Eunice, Mallet
Plaquemine Point and FaquetaiQue ii
the old parish. These territories
were included in the new parish.
The amendment is the result of an
agreement between the divisionists
and anti-divisionists, the terms Of
which are the burying Of the hatchet.
Both sides were tired Of fighting. it
was time for the dove Of peace 10
spread her harmonizing wings over
this fair land. The division fight has
been going on for the past twenty
odd years it was time to end it. be-
fore it became SO acrimonious that a
people who had dwelt ID the same
house, had the same interest in the
welfare Of all, and many the same
blood coursing in their veins, would
have become arraYed against each
other in bitter strife.
The new line according to the Sem
ate amendment, which is the agree
ment, makes Bayou des Cannes the
boundary line Of st. Landry and
Evangeline parishes. This leaves to
the old parish a splendid territory,
while giving to the new parish fifteen
miles more than the Constitution re-
quires.
The agreement was made between
the warning factions during last week,
and Tuesday delegations representing
Vile Platte. Opelousas and Eunice
went to Baton Rouge to tell the Gov
ernor and the Legislature that peace
reigned ii the old parish. The Gov.
ernor received the delegation cordial
ly, and complimented those who had
contributed to the settlement Of the
question Ill Sc satisfactory a manner.
Il am delighted at the outcome
that the people Of ST. Landry are re-
united-I say reunited, because | have
now no fear that the division line will
not have the effect Of dividing the
people. They are one, and VIII re-
main one, said the Governor, with
much warmth. The same feeling pre-
vailed among the membership Of the
different delegations. and members Of
the Senate and House were loud in
their manifestations of approval at
the happy solution.
Among those there from st. Lam
dry were: DR.. M. D. Lewis, ]. W.
Lyman, Gus. Fusilier and Dr.. W. E.
Ray, Of Eunice; Judge R. l. Doss-
mann, o. 3. Guillory, Rene L. Der
ouen, Geo. Vidrine, Rene Vidrine, and

PROGRESSIVE LEAGUE
BEING RE ORGANIZED
Meeting HeId Al The Courthouse Last Friday,
and Temporary Organization Formed
ANOTHER MEETING MONDAY
At Which Permanent Organization Take viii
Place..Dr. Bercler The Temporary Presl-
deni..Tsx Question discussed


| The meeting for the purpose of re.
organizing the 0pelousas Progressive
League, which took place at The
courthouse last Friday, was not
largely, attended, only eighteen peo-
pie being present but they we're
eighteen progressive citizens and the
work started by them will bear fruit.
Temporary organization was form
I ed by the election of DR.. IA. j. Ber-
cier as President and Mr.. j. G. Law
Ter as Secretary. It is more than
probable that these two gentlemen
will remain at the head Of the organ
ization.
Ii was agreed that at meeting
to be held next Monday. the 18th,
permanent organization would take
place. Il was considered tha t
the attendance was too small last
Friday to warrant permanent organi-
zation that is, those there thought
it best to try and get up a large and
enthusiastic house, for that purpose.
A committee, composed of NJ. J..
sandoz, ]. G. Lawler and Z. Austin
Fontenot was appointed On publicity
to see that the people Of the city
were properly and thoroughly notified
Of next Mondays meeting, and tell
them through circular letter of the
importance oflthe objects Of the meet
ing
Mayor Halphen, Or. Bercier, Mr..
W. j. Sandoz, Mr. ]. G. LaWler, Mr..
Z. A. Fontenot and others, spoke.
A subject discussed at the meeting
aroused much interest. 1t was on
the question Of having the Legisla-
ture pass a bill exempting 0peIousas
from the payment Of a parish tax,
but instead a proportioned tax for IFS
criminal expenses lin other words
about 21z mills, instead Of 10 mills.
We understand that such q bill is now
being drawn up, that & will be intro
dueed at this session of the Legisla-
ture. New Iberia has such Law.
As committee, composed of 3. P. Yea
zie, Nd. H. Thompson and WI. San
doz, was appointed to see. about this
matter.
Those having the welfare Of the
city Of Opelousas are urged to attend
the meeting Monday night.
The drones are expected to stay
at home.
There viii be no collection taken.
