After months Of acute suffering,

Mr.. Lasseigne continuing alone, do
ing all the work, typesetting, print

struggle to keep along until a Demo

This party paid the debts of the
parish and the printer was not for

was increased to a reasonable figure
and a liberal patronage in advertis-
ing and subscription helped make
the situation brighter. Up to 1909
everything went well, when Mr.. Las
seigne began to suffer from weaken

'sulting from govt.
Realizing that he could no longer
continue the work, he concluded to
sell his printing office, since he was

sold to Eugene .Dumez, the present
owner and publisher.
