NEW ORLEANS P R 0.
GRESSIVE UNION TO
VISIT OPELOUSAS.

The following letter has just
been received by the Clarion
from the Secretary Of the New
Orleans Progressive Union:
The special train of Merchants
and Manufacturers Bureau of the
New Orleans Progressive Union
carrying a large number of the
heads of firms and leading mer-
chants Of this city, will reach
Opelousas, Thursday, Novener
19, 4:20p. m. on a tour over the
line of the Southern Pacific to
Lake Charles and return.
This trip, primarily, is for the
purpose of permitting the New
Orleans iobbers to become better
acquainted with the customers in
their territory, a most desirable
condition from every point Of
view. We feel that a visit Of this
character can be Of the utmost
benefit, not only in increasing
personal acquaintance, but in
Strengthening out any difficulty or
misunderstanding that may hap
pen to exist, and in general per-
NIT the jobbers and customers to
get on a better footing.
The members Of the Bureau
and particularly those who will be
of the special party, send you and
the citizens Of Opelousas a most
cordial invitation to visit them
aboard the special train, and trust
that you and many others will find
it agreeable and expedient to ac-
cept.
New Orleans has often been
criticized Tor not seeking trace
in her own territory. This may
or may not be true, however, if
| it existed in the past, it cannot
be said now, for through the
activity of the Merchants and
| Manufacturers Bureau of the
Progressive Union, these trips of
acquaintance and fellowship
terminating in business conf
dence, have been inaugurated
with the best results. This is
the second trip of the Bureau
since its organization as a part
of the Progressive Union, and
there will be many others. =

MOTOR GAR SERVICE
BETWEEN CROWLEY
and EUNICE.
Frisco VIII Probably Extend
Service to Opelousas IN
Near Future.

The Frisco Railroad has put on
q motor car service between
Crowley and Eunice, with the
promise that this service would
be extended to 0pelousas.
AS there is decidedly more M
tercourse between Eunice and
Opelousas than between Crowley
and Eunice, due to the fact that
Eunice is in st. Landry parish
and it is often necessary for the
people there to come here, It is
hoped that the Railroad Com
pany will extend the motor car
service to 0pelousas without
delay.
AT present while there are two
trains each way between tins
city and Eunice, the schedules
are so arranged as to make it
practically impossible for per
sons at either point to make the
trip in one day, and even If it be
impracticable for the Railroad
Company to give a double-daily
motor service, one train each
way would be d great advantage
to the people of Eunice and
Opelousas.

the United States Senate, had
hired several small boys to stand
at the door and give each person
who entered a picture of himself,
with a pretty red ribbon so that
it could be attached to the lapel
of the coat. The little fellows
would hand the picture with the
blank side up, and many thought
at first that it was a likeness Of
Michel. But when they would
find out that it was the Third
District Congressman who was
using the occasion to distribute
his handsome mug, down would
go the picture, and the boys
would chuckle. There were
several wheel el-barrowsful of Bob
Broussard pictures on the floor
when the meeting adjourned.

FREE MAIL DELIVERY
FOR OPELOUSAS ON
DECEMBER Isl.
Leslie Moriarty and Alfred Vid-
rine Have Been Appointed
Carriers.

Leslie C. MoriartV and Alfred
Vidrine have been appointed as
mail carriers for this city and
will go on duty on December 1st,
when the free mail delivery will
be inaugurated. This is quite
an important matter to the peo-
pie of Opelousas and it is hoped
that they will show their appre-
ciatian of the efforts of the De
partment by facilitating t h e
carriers in their work. This can
best be done by providing at
once a suitable receptacle for de-
posting mail at each place where
it is desired mail should be de-
livered, this being necessary ac-
cording to the Post Office De
partment. These boxes can be
provided at a nominal cost, be-
ing small metal boxes large
enough to contain any reasonable
number of letters. Another
thing which is of much assistance
to the service is that those who
desire their mail delivered to
street and number ask their
correspondents to so address
them.
Mail will be delivered to all
residences and business places
located on cement or brick side
walks, or where such sidewalks
are on the opposite side of the
street. There will be two deliv-
cries daily morning and after
noon.

Mr.. Michel's Address.

Mr.. Michel was in splendid
form" Tuesday night, and
spoke with kindness and logic.
1t was a plain, homemade
speech, touching every vital
point, and ringing with sincerity.
It was quite a while before he
could speak, so Overwhelming
was the demonstration. Men
would get on chairs and whoop;
ladies would waive:their handker-
chiefs, and even little tots would
prattle out: Hurrah for Michel. "
His delivery was as clear as a
bell, but his voice could not
reach the entire audience.
He was very emphatic in de-
claring that he had made no
dicker or deals.

the case of the S tate vs..
Sam Melancon was
about concluded, and a verdict
was rendered early Friday night
on the case, the jury deciding
that the young man was not

against him. It will be recalled
that Melancon was accused OF

MRS. MCREA IS AD-

BAIL.

District Judge Pavy rendered
an order on last Monday morning
admitting Mrs. McRea to bail iii
the sum Of $4,000, and the bond
was promptly furnished and the
accused liberated This is ii ac-
cordanee with the established
custom in the court here, and as
it was considered impractfeahle
to try the case over again on ac-
count Of the officers being en-
gagged at Vile Platte next week
where a criminal term was fixed
several weeks ago, lit seems that
i the Judge acted wisely Ii is
not known when the case will
come to trial again, but it is like
II that it will await it's regular
course, and if tried again It will
be at d regular term Of the court.
The bond to assure the ap-
pearance Of the accused when
the case is again called for trial
was signed BY Messrs. Andrew
Moresi, F. Z. sandoz, r Cliff
Allen and James M. Sanders.
Mr.. and Mrs. McRea and their
two youngest sons left the fol
lowing day for the railroad con
struction camp Of the Frisco
Railroad situated about twenty
miles west of Beaumont, while
the oldest boy has gone to Fort
Worth where he will reside with
Mrs. McRea's sister and attend
school. The little girl will for

Work on the Streets.

We are pleased to again be
able to note that some much
needed work on our streets has
been done lately, particularly on
the approaches to the bridges
and crossings, where earth has
been thrown and the crossings
made safer and more agreeable
to persons driving over them.
Much more of this kind of work
remains to be done, however,
and it is hoped that there will be
no cessation until all such places
are repaired. There is a very
bad hole near the bridge at the
corner of Court and G h erry
streets and this should be filled
at once.

An Automobile Club.

Now is a good time to organ
ize an Automobile Club. There
are enough of these machines in
this parish now to make it advis-
able that their owners take an
interest in such a club, and by
so doing much good could be ac-
complished, not only for the peo-
pie who use this modern convey
ance, but for the general public.
For instance, a proper interest
in our public roads and streets
would enure to the interest of
all. Good roads, has become
almost a household word in this
State. and the pleasure of travel
and the facility with which bust
ness traffic could be accomplished
if our roads and streets were in
good order, would be not only a
great satisfaction to those who
use these thoroughfares, but it
would prove a paying investment
to the entire public. In this pro-
gressive day there are few men
who are not in favor of providing
the best roads and streets, even
if it costs a little more to do so.
but our Police Jurors and Boards
of Aldermen should be reminded
of this important matter oeca-
sionally. This fact suggests the
organization Of an Auto Club,
and we understand that such a
plan is on foot. We believe that
it will accomplish considerable
good.

Change In Lighting System.

The electric light plant has
been undergoing some important
changes during the past week,
the newly erected system having
been connected with the service
wires. This caused some COM
plant from the. patrons of the
lighting system, but most Of the
trouble was doubtless unaVoida-
bic, as much work was necessi-
tated in making the changes from
the old plant to the new, and
the wires were disconnected
from the plant for several nights
and for irregular periods even
after the connection was made.
By this time the the new system
is working satisfactorily and the
service should be much improved
by the changes made.
