Sicily Brothers Buy
Keller's Bakery

Messrs Simon and Louis Sicily,
both citizens Of this city, recently
bought out the bakery shop, be-
longing to F. G. Keller, and are
at present leaving no stone un-
turned, in order to straighten
out the place and make it one of
finest OF its kind, this city has
ever seen. The firm will go
under the name of Sicily Bro
thers and will be managed by
Mr.. Louis Sicily, the younger
brother, whilst Mr.. Simon Sicily
will remain at his present oc-
.cupation and will not move from
the third ward Of the city of
Opelousas, from which ward he
was elected a member of the
City Council at the last election.
These two young men are well
. M Z.
known in this community and it
is expected that they will have a
very large trade. Their many
friends are confident that they
will succeed in their new field and
will lend all assistance necessary
in order to make this bakery
shop one of the most popular and
thriving in Opelous as.
The dough department will be
attended to by three very good
bakers, headed by Mr.. Louis
Sicily, who has had several years
experience in Broussard La.

It is evident that the question
of paving the streets of this city
4 arousing the interest of some
If its best citizens, the Clarion is
in receipt of a communication
from DR.. A. J. Bercier on this
most vital subject. He follows
Mr.. Danel's example and preach
es on Good Roads.
If this city really wants better
streets, which it must have, a
few more men like, Mr.. Danel
and DR.. Bercier, should busy
themselves and see what good
they can do in that direction.
These two gentlemen have taken
# upon themselves to tell the
people of this city how and by
what manner paved streets could
be secured, and they should be
highly commended for their
worthy deeds and splendid views.
They are willing to work to help
this city; they don't mind being
few dollars out each year for
the next ten years. if they can
only get better streets; they are
not afraid to express their views
openly and to suggest to the peo-
ple of this city what plans to per-
sue.
DR.. Bercier's letter follows:
Opelousas, La,
March 13, 1913.
Editor st. Landry Clarion:
[ rea d
with much satisfantion the COM
munication in the Clarion of the
Sthinst., signed by Louis L. Dan
el, member of the Board Of Aid
ermen, relative to Street paving
for Opelousas, in which he calls
upon the citizens to give their
views on the subject matter.
Mr.. Danel is to be commended
for the position he takes in ap-
preaching most cautiously this
vital question, and in obtaining
the views of others concerned in
the welfare Of our city. We
know that we can do in one min
ute, what would take a life time
to regret. No one should regret
paving our streets in a substantial
and workmanlike manner, for
the benefits to be derived are
priceless.to every individual. It
would be ueless to venture into
every detail concerning the adj
vantage of street paving in
Opelousas; the dust alone is more
destructive to health and proper
ty per annum than the entire cost
Of paving, coupled with the cost
Of 81, 900 per annum to try to
keep itin its place. The cost of
anything should be the last to be
considered: the quality first. |

ANNOUNCEMENT.

On account of the similarity Of
names, the undersigned desires to
make the following statement:
There are several men in town,
whose names are somewhat similar
to my own. There is Grant S.. You
mans, who runs the Savings Deposit
Bank. There is also DR.. YOumans,
who succeeds to DR.. Taylor's practice;
but these two, l understand, are not
related.
Then there is also Younkin fam
lily, who have been residents Of Minot
for long time; but none of them are
in the Real Estate Brokerage business.
What l wish The Public mostly to
impress upon their minds, is that
Grant s. Y0umans, the Savings Bank
man, and Frank w. YOungMan, the
Real Estate Broker, are entirely two
different men.
Grant s.. Youman's Bank il on up
per Main street, and Frank w. Young
mans Real Estate Brokers' Office is
on Reishus street, near First street p;
that oft times our mail is mixed up,
and many times F. W. YoHngMan re-
ceives letters that are intended for
Grant s. Youmans; that will kindly
ask the Public to impress upon their
minds, that Grant S. Y0umans is the
Savings Bank man, and F. w. Young
mas is the Real Estate Broker on
Reishus street.
Respectfully,
FRANK W. YOUNGMAN. =
