Mir. Chachefe Sells His Stock.

Mr.. Robert Chachere, for the
last twenty-eight years one of
the leading merchants of this
city, has sold his stock to Mr.. M.
Blanc, of New Orleans.
Mr.. Chachere has made a sue
cess in the mercantile business
and is now ready to retire from
it. Mr.. Blame will leave shortly
for New York city where he will
purchase his fall goods. He
promises to keep up the standard
of the store, which is one of the
very best in this city.
Mr.. Chachere is the president
of the Planters National Bank
and no doubt sold out so that he
could devote most of his time to
the rapidly growing bank.
The Clarion wishes the new
conner success.

Plant Still Making Money.

The power plant is still max
ing money in abundance, instead
of pulling Opelousas in debt
every month, as was the custom,
up to a year ago. The plant this
month was on the profit side
$670 to the good, and is evident
" in no way a weight on the
shoulders Of the city fathers.
In a few months the plant will
have taken itself out of debt and
Opelousas viii be ia a better
financial situation.

The HookWorm Club still holds
its afternoon meeting on the
Courthouse square. Free sugar
is the principle topic, though the
name of Governor Hall is often
mentioned in connection with
the law suit now pending, ia the
New Orleans District Court.
The verdict viii probably be that
Colonel Ewing should treat Gov
ernor Hall to a stein, whilst he
will have secured cheap notority.

Preparations are under way
for making Saturday, August
Both, one Of the biggest of all
days in this city, as the farmers
from every portion of the old
parish are urged to come to town
on that day, with their best
products, to place them on ex-
hibit. There will be prizes
awarded to every farmer who
brings to town, on that day, the
best corn, the best rice, potato,
sugar cane or anything which is
raised on the farm.
The large gathering of farm
ers from all over st. Landry on
Saturday. August Both, is for the
purpose of bringing the farmers
in closer touch with one another,
in order that a farmer living in
the northern portion of St. Lam
dry will know what the farmers
in the south, east or west of the
parish are doing. But the pri-
mary principle of the exhibit is
for the purpose of permanently
organizing a parish fair associa-
ton, like other progressive par
ishes in Louisiana have already
done.
With such men at the head Of
this meeting as DR.. Chas. E.
Boagni, Thomas H. Lewis, J.
G. Lawler, DR.. ]. A. Haas, R.
Lee Mills, Joe McClelland, J. ]. {,
Thompson, e. l.. Loeb, Edgar
Dupre, Jas. @. Chachere and
other prominent men Of st. Ian
dry the exhibit show, which is
scheduled to take place on Sat
urday, August 30th, will be one
of the most successful affairs of
its kind, which has ever taken
place in the state.
F. S. White, Agricultural and
Horticultural Agent for t h Ell
Frisco Lines, will be here with
his exhibit car and will carry
away the products which the
judges of the contest declare are
the finest to the North, East and
West, and there he will let these
products tell of the fertility of
the soil in St. Landry; from
thece products progressive farm
ers in progressive states will
see that in st. Landry
they would fare better than in
their own country, and these.
very products will be the best
mode of advertising the wonder
full resources Of this. the grand
est parish in the state Of Louis
ana. The Frisco people have
always evidenced a great deal of
interest in the developing and
1eopling of the section of this
state. through which they oper-
ate, and for that reason they will
end all the cooperation needed to
he men who are working siren ]
lously to make Saturday, Au- I
ylst Both, the biggest day in the
parish.
Besides the exhibit of farm j
PRODUCTS and native-bred stock, Z
here will be grand barbecue,
m the courthouse square, to i
which the public is invited. ,
There cannot be too many for
his occasion, and it is the hope ;
lot only of the committee of ar /
but also of every
BUSINESS man of this city that [

OPELOUsAs, LA, SATURDAY. AUGUST IS 1913
CITY WILL WELCOME
FARMERS ON BOTH.
Big Parish Exhibit to Be Held On Courthouse
Square On Saturday,
August 10th.

/ sion, will be on hand to speak te
the people of this parish and tc
get them more interested in the
get-to-gether movement. which
seems to prevail in all other pro-
gressive cities and towns of Lou
isiana
DR.. W. R. Dodson, Director
of the State Experiment Station,
of Baton Rouge, will be one of
the prominent speakers. DIR.
Dodson, it will be remembered,
is the one, on whose account,
Bruner and Halligan are serving
a sixty day term, in the parish
i prison at Baton Rouge, for hav-
ing slandered the Doctor. !" He
has hosts of friends in this par
ish, and will no doubt be a great
drawing card to the fair.
There will also be several local
orators of fame, who will adj
dress the large concourse of Wis
itors and exhibitors.
No matter who you are Or
what you are all that the COM
mittee on arrangements want is
that you bring your products to
place on exhibition; you. farm
ers, will derive the benefit of the
fair. Those who will win the
prizes will, by the very fact of
their products being better than
the others, advertise their place
better than anything else. It
certainly speaks well of a place,
not to say anything about the
farmer, himself, when the corn
raised On that place captures
first prize in a contest which
comprises the whole of st. Lam
dry parish. or if the syrup which
you made is the best that can be
gotten in this parish. No mat
ter what you have good, whether
it be hog, cow, chicken, horse.
vegetable or any other farm
product, bring it to town and
place it on exhibition. Be in the
spirit which is now prevalent
throughout the south; help or
ganize the parish fair, to which
the farmers of st. Landry will
be able to look forward each
year with anxious anticipation,
and where the best of products
St. Landry raises will be ex-
hibited.
The committee, which h a S
been appointed to judge the mer-
it's of the exhibits and award
cash premiums and badges of
merit, consist of the following
citizens; R. Lee Mills, Edgar
Dupre, Joseph Mcclellan, Louis
Hebert, j. ]. Thompson, C. M.
Fitzpatrick and w. F. Clopton.
These men are all well known to
everybody in the parish and the
farmers can readily see that the
prizes will be awarded to the
mes deserving them, and moth
ng dishonorable will take place.
Men who have the esteem and
aspect of the citizens of st.
landry, like those who comprise
he judges of the contest, can
inspire the farmers to come to-
yether for such a fair, and for
hat reason there will be a great
abundance of exhibits on hand,
m Saturday, August Both.
Fall in line with other sturdy
illers Of the soil and all you
'armers be sure to come to Ope-
ousas on the day of all days for
,ou, August 30th, and you will
lever regret having placed your
PRODUCTS on exhibition, no mat
er if these did not capture the
irst prize.

Leon S. Haas, Well-knoWn
attorney of this city, has been
declared the party nominee for
the office of state senator, to fill
the unexpired term, caused by
the resignation Of DR.. L. Lazaro,
who is now Representative from
the Seventh Louisiana Congress
sional District. Mr.. Haas was
the only one qualified as a
candidate for the primary elec-
ton, which was to be held on
the 18th of August. The Sena-
torial Democratic Committee of
the 18th Senatorial District of
Louisiana, met at the courthouse
on Saturday to endorse Mr..
Haas, as the party candidate.
It was expected that other
candidates would be in the field
and hot race was promised,
but to the disappointment of
many in st. Landry. Acadia and
Evangeline Parishes, who would
rather go to the voting booth
than eat, there will be no con-
test.
Mr.. Haas is one of the young
est members Of the local bar,
and there is no doubt that he
will make a splendid senator and
will serve his people most admir-
ably. He is a highly honorable
gentleman, of gracious qualities,
Well-known and liked by every
one who comes in contact with
him. He is a very energetic and
promising young man and it is
the belief of his thousands of
friends throughout the 14th SEN
atorial district that the voters
Of the district will never have
cause to regret that Leon S.
Haas was elected to the state
senate to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of DR., L. La
faro.
Mr.. Haas feels very grateful
to his thousands of friends who
readily foeked to his banner, as
soon as heannounced himself as
a candidate for the office of SEN
ator. His popularity is evi-
denced by the fact that on all
sides he met with encourage
ment and the approval Of the
sturdy voters of this and other
parishes in the 14th senatorial
district.
When the next session of the
will have convened
many eyes will be centered on
Mr.. Haas with interest, and it is |
the belief of the numberless
friends of MIR. Haas that these
eyes will all have the satisfac-
tion of seeing the newly elected
senator from st. Landry per- |
forming his duty in a noble and
honorable Wav.

was joined in happy we'd lock to
Mr.. Reginald Morris, of Morris
Ranch, Texas, on Thursday
morning at 1870, Rev. Mr.. ]. B.
Brock, Baptist minister, perform
ing the ceremony.
The wedding was a quiet
affair, only a very few intimate
friends being present.
Cupid lowered rather close to
the Clarion and there is no doubt
that a few of the pretty girls
employed by the Clarion might
feel romantically inspired since
Thursday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morris left inn
naediately after the ceremony
for various points in Texas, af-
ter which they will be at home,
at Morris Ranch, on August Goth.

MAY SAVE THE CURACAO

Notwithstanding the fact that the Curacao's stern lies in eighty feet of water at high tide, Capt. Harry Finch the di- yer, who has been looking Ovcr the wreck with Capt. E. c. GenereauX for the underwrit' CTS, states that he believes the vessel can be saved. The prOb- abilities are that the six hun- dred tons of coal on the ves- sel can be pumped out, bat that the balance of the cargo will have to be lifted with the ship. The chief obstacle is the extreme steepness of the beach oD which she is resting, which will make salving her a slow and expensive proposition. Ths party will go south on the May tomorrow night.
