The First Cold Weather.

Following the down-pour OF
last Monday, which lasted nearly
al day, the weather turned cool
on Tuesday, and we have ex-
perienced some real cold nights
since that time. The days have
been delightful since, the temper
ature being just right for out
door life. Though our streets
are in need of much repair, they
were dry by Wednesday, proof
that our soil is we'll adapted for
road building. We ought to have
The best dirt streets in the coun-
try if a little more attention was

S. 0. MELANCON tn RE-
TRIED ON OCTOBER
3OTH.
The Washington Bank Embez.
element Case Fixed for Trial
LIN the District Court.

S. o. Melancon, charged with
grand larceny in a bill of in
dictment returned by the Grand
Jury last Saturday, will be tried
here on the Both inst. Messrs.
G. L. Dupre and E. P. Veazie
represented him on his arraiqn-
ment in Court last Monday, and
will have charge Of his defense
This is the charge that grew
GU of the Washington State
Bank matter when four thousand
dollars mysteriously disappeared
from the Banks vault between
one Sunday afternoon and the
next Monday morning. Young
Melancon was at the time assist
ant cashier of the bank, and had
been so employed for several
years, but was said to not know
the combination Of the vault,
Detectives were put on the case
and so far as known to the pub
lie, no clue was found which
would point with any degree of
certainty to the culprit. This
was over one year ago. Last
may, however, it was reported
to the bank that Melancan was
in New Orleans and had in his
possession a large sum of money,
stated to be about $500. He
had been away frOrf1 home for
some little time and had already
severed his connection with the
bank when he made the trip to
the city. These facts being re-
ported to the sheriff and he hay
ing learned that Melancon was
on his way back to Washington,
boarded the train when it reach
ed here and the young man was
arrested.
He has at all times since then
maintained that he was innocent
of the charge and said that he
would at the proper time account
for the money in his possession,
which is understood to have been
considerably less t h a n the
amount reported from New Or
leans. He was admitted to bail,
his bond being promptly signed,
and but little was heard of the
case since his arrest until the
Grand Jury reported bill
against him last Saturday.

AS announced in the local
| papers sometime ago, the ex-
hibits and contests of the Boys
Corn Clubs of this parish took
place on Saturday, October 14th,
in the Police Jury Room.
Out of one hundred members
there were only six contestants
for prizes, showing that at least
some of our boys have the per-
sistence and tenacity of purpose
to prosecute an enterprise to its
limit. This spirit of persistence
and bulldog determination is
what counts most in the achieve
ment Of results in our worldly
struggles, and generally meets
with commensurate reward. In
the case under consideration it
also won out, and the young con-
testants were all delighted with
the results of their endeavors,
and went home jubilant over the
fruits of their victory, realizing
that they had accomplished some
thing in their first effort where
they had been brought in actual
contact with the busy and
bustling world.
These contests have valuable
side to them from several view
points. They not only teach the
boy the practical elements of
successful agriculture, but they
traits of character in
him which will be of use to him
in his after life; they throw re-
sponsibility on him, and call into
exercise his physical as well as
energy, his judgment and
reason, the weighing of facts |,

COURTABLEAU 0 U E S.
. TION COMING UP
OCT. Is.

The Atchafalaya Levee Board
adopted resolution at a recent
meeting providing that the ques-
tion of the diking of Bayou
Courtableau at it's junction with
the Atchafalaya should be set
tied at the meeting to be held on
October 25th. This matter is
evidently considered very i'm
portant by many Of the towns
along the Bayou Teche as COM
mittees have been appointed by
several of the Mayors already.
These representatives of these
different municipalities are sure
to work for the closure of the
Courtableau as they need the
water for the Teche.
While it is understood that the
people of Washington and Ope-
lousas are generally opposed to
any scheme which means that
the Courtableau will be diked, it
is necessary that their represent
atives be present at this meeting
on the 25th inst. Surely the en-
gineers in charge of the levee
construction on the west bank of
the Atchafalaya can find some
proper means of constructing
their levee without destroying
the utility of the Courtableau for
drainage, navig a t i o n and
Irrigation purposes. We
profess to know very little
about the matter, but it occurs
to us that a lock could be put IN
at the mouth of the Courtableau,
which would meet the exigencies
Of the case.

Extra Attraction at Bon Ami

The Southern Pacific will fur

about the latter part of next
week or the first part Of the
week following, two moving pic
ture films showing interesting
scenes in Louisiana. These films
were taken for the Chicago Lou
isiana Exhibit of 1910 and are
very fine. No extra charge will
be made on the occasion when
these pictures will be shown,
they being displayed in addition
to the regular pictures.

Mat Gonor Shoots at ''Nazrus. ,


Mat Gonor, a young mulatto,
shot at Robert Wilson, alias
''Nazrus, =" a negro, during some
kind of an alteration between
the two on Thursday night, but
missed his aim. The police hav-
ing learned of the shooting ar
rested Gonor and the City Judge
bound him over on two charges:
shooting with intent to kill and
violating the City ordinance pro-
hibiting the discharge of fire
arms within the city limits.
Gonor will probably secure a
bondsman, if he has not already
done so. as he has some friends.

SERGE is POPULAR MATERIAL
Coats for Both Grown-Ups and Chill
dren Are Seen Both In DarI; Bluo
and Checks.

Serge is preferred to cloth for the
serviceable coat and very often a
smart little coat of serge has no
trimming at all save big collar OF
some contrasting material.
Dark blue serge and black and
white check seem to be the favor
ftes for the tailored coats designed for
serviceable wear, though biscuit and
khaki tones are considerably used.
On the dark blue serge a big collar
OF dull blue crash, plain or with seal
loped and embroidered edge and per-
baps some other embroidery design
is liked. Ecrv linen is used for col
lars, too, and some little coats in dark
blue have big collars of soft rose linen
embroidered in white.
Then, too, big collars of embroid-
cred white pique are very smart on
the dark coats. Often in the coats
for children from three to six years
OF age the coat which falls almost to
the bottom of the dress has a collar
wide over the shoulders and sloping
down quite to the bottom of the coat
Or perhaps the fronts cross diagonaily,
following the natural line Of such a
collar ami two big buttons are set on
diagonally at the very bottom OF the
overlapping front, the collar ending
Just above.

TAPESTRIES IN NEW DESIGNS
Light Summer Hanglngs This Year
Are Prettler Than Those Of
Recent Seasons.

Each year brings its special fashions
In furnishings, and just now, when the
question of house cleaning is promi-
nently to the fore, no little interest is
being taken in the new chintz and
tapestries which are now on show for
loose coverings of all kinds. Every
where one notices the effect of the
Jacobean influence which is reassert-
ing itself in matter appertaining to
household decorations.
In place of the bunch of roses tied
with bows of colored ribbon, which
have figured on all chlnts of late, one
finds the new furnishing fabrics are
printed in variation of rich reds,
greens, browns or wine color on q
cream ground, or display bold conven-
tional designs somewhat closely pat
termed, which lend themselves admir-
ably to furnishing purposes and which
look far more handsome and imposing
than the simple floral designs of yes
terday?
This new Jacobean taffeta is being
used for curtains, bedspreads and
cushion covers, as well as for cover
ing chairs and sofas.

man to Judge the carcass yield and
quality of his animals intelligently
