would treat it with the silent
contempt w h j c h. it richly de-

4 FINE MOTOR SERVICE
IN Sight FOR 0PE-
LOUsAS

A banquet was rendered to a
number of visiting railroad off.
cials by the Commercial Club OF
/ 0pelousas at the Lacombe HoteI
on last Monday night. These
| gentlemen are prominently con
Injected with the Frisco and New
Iberia and Northeastern Rail-
Iroads and were fully empowered
to represent them in the matters
under consideration. They gave
our people the assurance that d
double daily motor car service
between Charenton and Opelou-
sas would be inaugurated soon,
probably by the end Of next
week, via New iberia and Port
Barre, and that it would not be
long before the service would be
extended to Franklin. The mot
or car has been making daily
trips to 0pelousas from New he
ria since about week or ten
days we, believe.
Mr.. Dudley Guilbeau acted as
toastmaster at the banquet. He.
acquitted himself Of this impor-
tant function in a strikingly hap
py manner and kept the company
in good humor with themselves
and the balance Of mankind from
start to finish. Mayor Loeb vel
coined the visitors, and Mr.. L.
Fl. Mornhinveg, President Of the
Progressive League, was parti-
colarly warm and emphatic in
giving expression to the pleasure
of the people Of 0pelousas at
meeting their distinguished
guests.
Mr.. &. Fl. Burlington, General
Agent of the N. Z. e N, was
the next speaker. He briefly and
entertainingly discussed the ques-
ton of the relations Of railroads
with the people and made a fine
impression.
Judge 6. i. Dupre made a fine
talk. The Judge is al
ways at home at
a talkfest, but on this occasionIhe
fairly surpassed himself.
Mr.. r. 3. Tremble, an expert
Of the General Electric Co, of
New York, who was sent down
here to instruct the men in the
operation Of these new cars, gave
a technical accout Of the working
Of the system which though sup
posedly dry proved to be very in
teresting.
Mr.. Parker Of New Iberia fol
lowed with a humorous descrip-
ton Of the shotgun opposition
that. the company had to meet
and peacefully overcome in GER
tain backward localities through I
which the line runs.
Mr.. MortonH Fl. Thompson spoke
of the aims Of the Commercial
Club, what It had already accom- /
pIished and what it hoped to ac-
conplish in the near future, and Ei
painted a CoULEUR DE ROSE pic
lure of what this country would
become under the Clubs wise
guidance and skilful manipula-
lions.
Mr.. q. R. Thompson, Presi-
lent Of the Commercial Club, ex-
oatiated on Sentiment IN Busi-
ness, and was listened to with
.apt attention.
Mr.. H. Owens, of New Iberia,
extended cordial invitation to
our people to visit the pretty lit Z
lie city on the Teche and assured
hem of a hearty welcome.

4 New Idea.

It has been suggested that it
would be a good idea land quite
inexpensive besides) If every
merchant and business man in
Opelousas, as well as every citi-
zen, whose place of business or
residence is near d street cross
ing, would cause the dust to be
removed every morning from
these crossings in dry weather
and the mud IN wet weather. It
IS pointed out that such action
would facilitate and make more
pleasant the approaches to such
places of business and residences
and contribute Id no small de-
gree to the comfort of the gem
eral public and the education Of
the public taste, besides eVi-
deneing some public spirit at lit
tie or no cost. Who will give
the example?
Dir. Mike Z. Lyons, of Crowley,
died last Sunday, aged 81. He
was born il st. Landry and two
of his sisters are living ait Lake
Charles. He served in the Con-
federate army, graduated at
Tulane and leaves a wife at
Crowley.

Fisette, being a useful member
of our police jury and not only
in his family circle, but through
out the neighborltood in which
he resides, is he respected and
beloved like one of the patriarchs
Of old. The ardent devotion
to country such as that which
prompted the noble old Roman
during his young manhood to en-
list, on the Southern side in the
great civil war and to offer up
his life in that notable struggle
in defense of what he believed
his ceuntry's rights ought to be
an example to the young men Of
to-day and ought to ncite IN
their breasts love of country and
the ambition to respond promptly
to the call OF duty when our
country needs the strong arms
of her sons to defend the liberties
Of the people.
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1912-08-24

Advanced thinkers throughout
the country are still discussing
ways and means whereby to do
away with loud and unnecessary
noises. And we rise to remark
that, while Opelousas is n t
cursed with the nerve-racking
and ear-splitting noises that
aflict large cities, we know of
no good reason why the steam
whistles hereabouts should per
sist in prolonging and lengthen-
ing out their unearthly screeches
in the early morning, to the ut
ter disn1ay Of people who have
gone to bed late and are trying
to make up for lost time.

Army AND NAVY
MEET TODAY
Great Gridiron Battle Mark
ing Close of Season Is
Scheduled.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 29.-Thc
1912 football season will close Satur-
day afternoon with the annual battle
between the West Point and Annapo-
lis teams on Franklin field. From a
social standpoint the game clipses all
others. Washington society never
fails to attend the game in force. while
everybody who car get away from the
war and navy. and other departments
in the national capital are to be found
in the stands. The battalian OF cadets
from each academy will attend the
game. together with a host of army
and navy officers from all Of the sta
tons within a radius Of 500 miles Of
Philadelphia.
The betting today about the hotels
and other places where the visitors
congregated shows the army to be a
favorite. The West Point team has
played stronger elevens this season
and therefore has had more expert
ence than Annapolis. But the latter
team possesses much good material
and the naval contingent stood ready
to cover the army money about as
rapidly as 1t was offered. The coaches
this afternoon reported their respec-
tive teams in fine physical condition
and confident.
Tomorrow's game will be played as
usual under the auspices of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. which was in
mics together in 1899 for annual foot
ball games after a break Of six years.
Since 1899 all games have been held
on Franklin field except the contest
OF 1905. which was played at Prince.
