at eight per cent per annum, pay
able annually. First payment of
principal to be made on the 18th
of August, 1913, and each sub

to form), secured by first mort
gage on the plant and property,
further by pledge and delivery
of insurance policies against wind

an amount equal to the loan.
Il hereto append a list of ma

opinion and valuation of Mr.. G.
r. Hanagriff. a most reliable and
competent engineer, selected by
you. Should the subscriber of
the loan desire the examination
and valuation Of the machinery
checked up by some one, | am
willing to pay the expenses of
any competent person who they
may select.
AS further evidence of good
faith, | propose that the twenty
five thousand dollars loaned, be
placed in the hands Of a trustee
or agent of the bond holders,
and by him paid out for the pur-
chase of machinery, transporta-
ton and material, erection, etc,
to the end of every dollar of the
loan will be paid only to increase
the value of the security. / fur

! will be given a seat on our board
of directors, (if a stock holder)
and that during the existence of
the loan no manager of the COM
pany will be appointed without
the consent of these two gentle
men. Should you gentlemen SO
desire, we are willing to agree
not to conduct a store at or near
the proposed factory, further to
agree that all labor pay rolls be
paid off in the town Of Opelousas.

The work Of organizing a
sugar refinery that is proposed
to be erected at or within a half
mile of the city of Opelousas is
about completed; all of the stock
has been subscribed for, and the
issue of $25, 900. 90 Of first mort
gage bonds, bearing eight per
cent interest and secured by
S75, 00O.00 worth of property, in
sured against wind and fire, is
all that remains to be taken.
It is up to the people Of Ope-
lousas. Those people who are
interested in the future Of our
city and parish, and the business
community at large should sub
scribe literally to this bond is
sue. There has been placed
something like so, 600. 00of these
bonds so far, but $40, 900. 90 is a
long way from $25, 10000, the
actual amount needed.
The erecting of this refinery
means much to our many farm
ers, who, since the advent of the
boil weeyil, have been forced to
turn their lands into the raising
of truck or cane. Truck farming
in it's proper sense is a profitable
crop, but the raising of cane is
profitable at all times, besides
our lands here will produce as
good a cane as grown anywhere
in the famous sugar belt along
the Teche, and as Mr.. E. NJ.
Boagni said in an article appear
ing in our Trade Edition, issued
last December: The cane grown
in St. Landry Parish is much
richer in saccharine matter and
would produce as heavy tonnage,
Iif not heavier, when intelligently
handled. The idea that this par
| ish is too far north for the culti-
walton of cane is altogether un-
founded, as cane has been culti-
waited and is being cultivated
now proftably one hundred miles
farther north than this parish.
| | see no reason why St. Landry
parish should not become the
banner parish in sugar produc-
ton in the United States.
| This is the proper view to take
of this matter. This refinery when
in operation will distribute some
thing like $225, 100000 in ninety
days among our farmers, busi-
ness institutions and the working
class of people; this money will
be paid out for labor, material,
cane, transportation, etc. The
refinery company agrees that al
labor pay rolls be paid off in the
city Of Opelousas and not to con-
duct a store at or near the pro-
posed refinery. It can readily be
seen what this will mean for our
business institutions.
Lands in and around Opelousas,
since the arrival of Mr.. Weevil,
have been on the downward
grade, and thousands of acres OF
| land have been sold for about
one third of their real value.
With the culture of cane and with
the prospect of a sugar refinery,
these lands will soon reach their
proper level. AS the value OF
| land increases so will our busi.
ness interests every man lr
Opelousas who has a store or any
/ thing to sell will be benefited by
this refinery, and it is the duty
of every business man and prop.
erty owner and every business
institution to get together ano
put their shoulders to the Whee.
and let US all give a hard ano
hearty heave. If there is bug
under the chip let us route hin
out.
The proposition Of Messrs. NJ.
J. Tiernan and associates is tc
erect a sugar factory of a capa.
city of about five hundred tons
of cane in twenty-four hours

A WOMAN OF "REFINE CEMENT. /"

II am very sorry, said Justice
McInerney to Mrs. EsterIine Virgin
ia Eyers, "that it falls to my lot to
impose judgement on a woman like
you, Of such evident refinement and
education" Then the justice SEN
fenced her to three months in the
penitentiary. And little enough it
was, considering her offense. She
had been convicted of Systematically
beating a motherless child left help
less and unprotected in her charge
that which we should say there
could be few more entirely unWo-
manly and unmotherly crimes.
Just what the Judge meant by his
regret at having to punish "a woman
Of such refinement and education"
is not clear. The fact of her educa-
ton and financial prosperity was the
most offensive and aggravating fea-
ture of the case. Unless the judges
phrase "evident refinement" was
used ironically it was grotesquely
misused. We fancy that a more GER
tain and convincing proof of essen
tial grossness and vulgarity and
coarseness Of mind could not be

and white sugar, q cupful of milk,
two squares Of chocolate grated, and
a level tablespoonful Of butter. Flaw

TOO MUCH FOR HACK DRIVER
Hieh-sounding Name Made Old Man
Think There Was Something
Mysterious In the Wind.

After long, hot, and dusty journey
by train the New York commercial
traveller arrived in Richmond, brushed
enough dust off his face to make sure
that the right man was getting off,
and hailed one of the little seagoing
hacks common in the Old Dominion
city. 1t was driven by an aged negro
Drive me to haberdashery," said
the travelling man, surveying his soiled
raiment with disfavor. "Yessuh," said
the negro. "Giddup" The old horse
started of at little stiff-legged jog
trot. The driver seemed to be think
ing deeply. BY and by he pulled the
horse to a stop. and leaned backward
to his fare. "Scuse me, suh," said he.
but wey did you all want to go?"
Drive me to haberdashery. said
the travelling man. "Oh. yessuh," said
the negro. ITO be sure Giddup."
The hack ratified on for little way.
and then the negro stopped, got off
the box and poked his head in over
the little door. "Mebbe All didn't get
dat name JUS right" said he. Would
you all mine repeatin' 1t, suh?" The
travelling man said for the third time
that he wanted to go to a haberdash-
cry. The old driver shook his gray
wool and looked grieved. "Ah'm an
ole man." said he. "Youah kin trus-
me. Wheah is 1t you really want to
go?"

was one day SO annoyed by mosqui-

refuge in an old iron safe which lay
discarded on the veldt.
my first emotions Of JOY at my
happy deliverance were hardly over
when the mosquitoes, scenting me,
began to drive their stingers through
the safe. Fortunately, I had a ham
mer In my pocket, and as fast as their
stingers came through the iron I
clinched them, until at length such
a host Of them was fastened down in
this way that, when they started to
fly away, they carried me and that
safe miles.
Then, one by one, they died with
the exertion, and I was able to come
out with safety. Yes, wonderful things
