RANSDELL AND THORNTON
RALLY.

Louisiana Senator's and Representa-.
tives were upheld at the New Iberia
mass meeting for the fight they have
made for a tariff on sugar. Seven
thousand people were present.
Resolutions were adopted, declaring
that the Baltimore platform Of the
Democratic party did not contemplate,
when it provided that downward revis-
ion Of the tariff would injure no legiti-
mate business, that sugar should be
considered apart from legitimate bust
ness.
The declaration is made that free
sugar would throw out of employment
100000 people in Louisiana.
Sugar is the cheapest article of food
upon the American market" the reso-
luton set forth, and cit Is manifestly
unjust to segregate the chief industry
of out state for destruction by schedul.
ing it for the free list"
Senators Thornton and Ransdell and
Representatives Broussard, Dupre, Lac.
arc and Morgan are "applauded" fol
their courageous" fight for sugar.
In working for a tariff on sugar the
resolutions declare that Louisiana
Senators and the Representatives
named, have carried out the pledges
of the platform upon which they were
elected

and we find the work of road making
splendid success-in fact, the work
far exceeds the claims made by the
owners of the machines, or our expec-
tations.
The two machines completed 20 miles
of road-work on our widest roads in
35 hours. Total operating expenses of
this work were $3.50 per day of ten
hours each; making this 20 miles of
road-work stand completed at about
$685. per mile actual expense.
We are willing to admit that extras
(under our own operation) will most
likely run the cost to $500 per mile,
but this actual outlay of 1885 per mile
includes every particle of expense that
the machines were under while they
were here.
Less travelled and narrower roads
can be worked for much less than the
dUOp6. Inquire.

Committee.
After a lively discussion, it was
moved, seconded and carried, That a
40 h. p. Flower City Gasoline Traction
Engine and one Grant Gallon Ideal En-
CINE Grader be purchased for 1895,
$956.25 cash with order and three notes
of $956.25 EACH Vote on the above was
as follows: For purchasing outfit,
Messrs. Weydert, Brasseaux, Bickham,
Richardson, Row. Barrow, Cutrer, La
vergne; against, Messrs. Howell, Sad
den and Wright.
Mr.. Cutrer stated that he was oppos-
ed to the purchasing of the engine and
grader, but voted for the measure as
every taxpayer in his ward favored
| the equipment.
Resolution made and passed, empow-
ering president to sign notes and con-
tracts with Gallon Iron Works for one
road engine and one road machine.
1t was resolved that the rate
of taxation be reduced to mills, that

carts and single horse wagons, rs cts.
Wherever we find roads impossible,
such as new road, or roads that have
been abandoned, and calling for spec
ial appropriation to fix same, special
committee of three shall be appointed
whose duty it shall be to make special
investigation, and superintend the
needed work and expenditure.
1t was resolved that spec
ial road committee of three be elected
from this body, whose Office shall run
for four years, and they shall exercise
general control of the road work of the
parish, making written reports to the
Police Jury at each regular monthly
meeting.
Jno. F. Ard, engineer, was employed
at $500 per day working time.
J. M. Barrow, on one seraper and
manager of outfit under road commit
tee, $500 per month.
Next in order was the selection of a
road committee, resulting in the cleo
ton of w. H. Richardson, T. D. Bick-
ham and Ike Cutrer.
All parties along public highways
are warned against obstructing road
bitches at outlets, under penalty of be-

THE WAYS OF LOVE.

There's a strange little god with a
strange little way,
Who sports with us mortals for
pastime,
And makes us BELIEVE every time
we're in love
That This is the first-and the
last time!"
There's strange little fairy tale every
man tells
When he's feeling romantic or lonely
And it doesn't begin, dear, with "Once
on a time
But with "You are the one and thu
only!"
