The ELKS HOUSE
WARMING A SUCCESS

The entertainment given by
the 0pelousas Lodge was without
doubtoneof the most brilliant and
beautiful events of the season
and evidenced that the Elks
could be hosts in a most splendid
and becoming way. Several
hundred people from all parts Of
the parish We're there to partici-
pate in the grand reception.
The Elks Home was thrown
open to the outsiders for the first
time and the beauty of it daz-
zled those present. All who Wis
tied the many beautiful and
magnificent rooms expressed that
they were the most gorgeous to
be found anywhere in Central
Louisiana. Refreshments were
served and after the odd folks"
had remained until Morpheus
had gotten the best Of them they
departed and left the ballroom
to the youngsters" The string
band furnished very good music
and dancing was INDUCED in UNI
til the wee hours Of the morning.
The entertainment committee
of the Lodge deserves great
praise in having gotten up this
affair so successfully and with
such delicacy. The ladies that
served the refreshments could
not have been more charming
and attractive. In whole the
reception was one of the grand
est ever rendered to the people
of Opelousas.

a far away home, but their wish

and prosperous married lite.

COURT GIVES
INTERESTING
DECISIONS

Among quite a number of i'm
portant decisions handed down
by our State Supreme Court last
Tuesday, were two Of general
interest.
One was to the effect that a
forced, or Shotgun marriage
is invalid when contracted while
one of the parties consents under
threats of death. and that MS
ratification Of it has no force I'M
less given after the coercion has
been removed.
Another approves the giving
Of personal Judgment against a
notary public and his sureties
for the amount of a mortgage
debt and interest, in a case
where the notary's client made
a worthless loan through the
notary's failure to supply a GER
tificate of mortgage showing a
prior mortgage on the prope4ty.

OPELOUSAS MAINTAINS
A STEADY GROWTH

Any thinking person who
looks around Opelousas these
days will realize that the old
city is keeping up her conserva-
tive and steady growth. Our
contractors, carpenters a d
laborers are all busy, and the
evidences Of their work are rap
idly going around us.
Among other improvements,
the observer will notice the hand
some new residence of Rev. j.
B. Brock on Liberty street, near
the corner of Bellevue; the brick
building for the Clary grocery
now nearing completion on Lam
dry street near Main; the large
and modern carpenter and build
ers shop being erected near the
western limits of the city by Mr..
Auguste Amy, to accommodate
power and equipment for which
he had no room in his old build
ing; the great Northern barn be-
ing built on one of the Schell
Canal properties just northwest
of the city; the improvements
being made near town at the
model chicken farm of MI.
Pinckney; the colored sisters are
erecting a large tWo-story school
building on their convent
grounds as an addition to their
st. Joseph's College; Messrs.
Ventre Bros. are having q large
warehouse added to their present
wholesale grocery establishment,
and many other important and
Improvements are I'M
der way in this city. We are
also told that work will soon be-
gin on our new High School

Erecting New Barns
For Farmers

General Manager j.. Franklin
Schell has had a force of car
penters, under Foreman Chas.
Henry, bnsy for the past month
erecting farm buildings for the
rice farmers on farms as far as
ten miles distant from each other.
The barns are substantially
built, soma of them large enough
to shelter Is mules. There are
sheds attached for vehicles and
machinery. One house has been
constructed and another is about
TO be started.
Large mules have been procured
for the work and it is certainly
indicative of good business
thrift to protect them from the
storms and adverse weather.

The friend we got to know so
well during the last few mouths,
and who left SO many apparently
lasting momentoes behind him,

here some days ago on the
Frisco and safely arrived at
Tuscaloosa, Ala. He is there On
a business trip, representing the

While Mr.. Machine dug int
things that had been covered for
years, and was quite a mad-

needed, in replacing animals

ton, his means that our wagons
last one-ffth the time they
should, our buggies one-sixth,
that we have to buy seven sets

horses are shortened in many

millinery stand on Landry street,
and to continue serving her
many patrons from her home on

inconvenient to attend business

LOUISIANA TRACTION
And POWER co.
MAY COME HERE
Meeting Held at Littell and
LAWYERS Office to Decide
What Steps to Take.

Quite a number of business
men Of this city met atLittelI Il
LAWYERS office last Wednesday,
to listen to what Mr.. e. E.
EShaekelford and his associates.
Messrs. Isaac Broussard and 2.
70. Moss, had to say concerning
the erection of an electric car
line from Lafayette to Onelou-
sas, with the probability Of ex-
tending the line to Alexandra
through Washington and Vile
Platte. Mr.. Shackelford sub
mitted the proposition of the
Louisiana Traction and Power
Co. to the people of Opelousas
and as it is considered most
beneficial to our city that we be
connected with the surrounding
country and nearby towns, the
plans Of Mr.. Shackelford met
with the hearty approval Of all
the gentlemen present at the
meeting.
It was at first proposed that a
tax of three and one-half mills
be levied to raise fifty-Seven
thousand dollars but Mayor Loeb
and others showed where a tax
of two and one-half mills to raise
the sum of forty thousand dol
lars was sufficient and since It is
is necessary that we guarantee
such an amount to the Louisiana
Traction and Power Go. to- in
duce them to come to 0pelousas
it is expected that there will be
very little opposition to the tax
If an election is called. Tt is
most vital to our interest as well
as to those Of the country people
that we obtain this car line, and
the business men with the CO
operation of all the citizens of
Opelousas should lend their best
energies to get a thing which
means SO much to the welfare of
this section OF Louisiana and
which will afford the people from
the country a splendid opportu-
nifty to grasp this offer of the
Traction Co. and thereby put
themselves III easy touch with
the many towns and cities Of
Louisiana.
Mayor Loeb acted as chairman
of the meeting and Mr.. John W.
as secretary. A commit
tee Of five, was appointed, COM
of the following men: Jno.
w. Lewis, E. M. Boagni, NE. +.
Swords, DR.. J. Al. Haas and r.
Lee Garland, who are to accom-
pany Mr.. Shackelford over the
proposed routes between 0pe-
and Sunset and 0pelousas
and Washington. These men will
determine the most efficient and
useful routes between these
places and it is expected that
they will do SO in a few days.
This is one chance In a thou
sand that the people Of 0pelou-
sas will have to get such apropo-
sition and the tax such a small
one that it is anticipated that
within a few months we will be
connected with Lafayette and
Alexandria by an electric car
line thereby giving us an easy
access to all parts of Louisiana.

political atmosphere. It in
Guided men who in politics had
been shoulder to shoulder with
Sanders, and as many who had
fought him tooth and nail.
Ex-Governor Sanders was in
troduced by Mr.. L. H. Mornhin
veg, President of the Progressive
League, after a few very short
and apt words Of welcome. The
speaker then came forward, and
as he made his address came
close TO the rail, close to the peo-
pie he likes to feel near to him,
whose pulse he loves SO well,
whose hearts he knows how to
touch. His address was a mas
terful one. We are not equal to
the task of condeasing what he
with his masterful tongue de-
Iivered to a thrilled audience in
a period which would have ex-
hausted an ordinary speaker as
we'll as his hearers, into the
small space we can commandsfor
the purpose, or with the ability
we command. II we tried to do
so, we would repeat just five
words: good roads; build them
now. That was the keynote of
his speech. He showed that
every year this parish spends
some $50, 900 on our ordinary
dirt roads, and that we literally
sink every cent Of it in the mud,
for the next year we have to go
right back and do the same
thing to the tune of another
$50, 600; that the City Of Ope-
lousas alone spends some ST.
600 annually on its streets, and
after each years expenditure is
as inaccessible in bad weather
as it was the year before; that
our farmers are isolated; that
they are wearing out and killing
the teams that cost them SO
dear. not in hauling fair load to
market, at a fair rate of speed,
but in dragging along some
times inch by inch with from
one-fourth to one-sixth Of what
would be d fair load on a decent
road: that this meaas keeping
up six horses or more to do less
taan one ought to be able to do
in the same time; that in addi-
ton to useless expenditure in
purchasing and feeding more

Or Friday night, January
18th, carrying out an appoint
ment made some time ago, Jared
Y. Sanders, one of the biggest
men in Louisiana, both mental
ly and physically no needs no
title to command the admiration
and respect Of his 8elloW-citi-
zens, appeared in the courtllou ie
to address sach as caose to hear
what he might have to say on
good roads.
He n e e d d no herald to
announce his coming; CAV no
inducements to draw a crowd.
Yet, had he tried for years to
find a place in Louisiana which
was ready to receive and t ke to
heart an address on good roads,
and the propitious moment to
deliver the address, he could
have found no locality more re-
ceptive and no time more suit
able for his coming.
Long before his arrival Fri
day night the courthouse was
densely packed with an enthusi-
astic and r sentatiV We
audien ee which filed not
merely til e large sea t
ing capacity of the court room,
but every foot of standing room
inside and outside of the rails as
we'll as in the aisles and on tn
ST is. The gathering mprised
representatives of every portion
of St. Landry and Evangeline
parishes, and included in its
number, not only the members
of our Police Jury, our Mayor
and Board of Aldermen, and
practically all of our other
officials, but also an o~verWhelmn-
ing number of our planters and
farmers, bankers, merchants,
professional men, men from
every walk Of life-and, we can't
forget them for he didn't-a
generous sprinkling of our eoun-
wy's purest and best product,
the ladies. The only class of
people unrepresented that night
was the one that doesnt want
good roads, q class that cannot
be found id St. Landry, and we
are not sorry WE couldn't pro-
duce it.
The gathering was absolutely
non-factional and devoid Of all
