Mr.. BRADFORD THOMPSON
GOES TO GULFPOPT AS
PROFEssOR.l

Mr.. Bradford Thomson the
young and energetic son OF Su-
perindent of Parish Public
Schools, G.. J. Thompson, left
last Saturday for Gulfport, Miss,
where he went to enter the
Gulfport Military Academy, as
Secretary to the President of
that we'll known institution, and
at the same time being a profess
or of elementary subjects.
Young Thompson was a stu
dent at the Louisiana State Uni
Versity, at Baton Rouge, last
session, and did splendid work.
He was offered this position by
the Military Academy and inn
mediately seized the opportunity
of being thrown in contact with
some of the eminent scholars of
Mississippi, the consequence of
which he has now cast his lot in
the Mississippi town.
His many friends here feel as
sured that he will succeed, and
their best wishes of success go
out to him.

The First Boy.


A fine son, Charles John Ellis,
arrived last Sunday at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Benjamin r.
Ellis, who are now occupying the
Jenung residence. Mr.. Ellis,
connected with the Southern Cy-
press Association, has been max
ing his headquarters in 0pelousas
for some time, but is from Buffa-
la. New York. His wife, form
erly Miss Mel Robertson of New
Orleans, is a sister of w. A..
Robertson Of this city. Notwith-
standing the fact that this COM
bination Yankee Confederate ba-
by was born on the 14th. of Sep
tember, a big Louisiana recon
struction day, he was named for
his Northern grandfather, DR.. C.
J. Ellis, of Buffalo.
The fond father, Big Ben as
his friends call him, is very
proud to exhibit his son as the
first boy in til e Ell g b t
grandchildren so far bor n
in the Robertson family.

Isidore Isaac's Hard
Luck.

It seems as though some peo-
pie are doomed to run in hard
luck at all times. Whether or
not Mr.. Isidor Isaac broke a
looking glass, by admiring him
self a little too much, it is hard
to discern, but, nevertheless, it
is a sure thing that he runs in
hard luck. Last season Mr..
Isaac felt flush, the consequence
Of which. he readily purchased
an Overland car. No sooner had
the car arrived here than the
rain set in, and it was several
weeks before Mr.. Isaac could
have the pleasure of trying his
car in the streets, though some
of his friends say that he would
try it out each day, by setting it
on jacks and let the engine have
vert to it's power.
This season MIR. Isaac decided
that he would purchase from the
Opelousas Motor Car Company a
run-about Overland. He did so,
the car arriving last week, but to
Mr.. Isaac's dismay, was unable
to try it out for several days.
It is hoped that the next time
ne purchases a car he will have
better luck.

Big Circus Coming.

It's great to be kid once
more, and hear the Lions groWl
and roar, and see the bears and
feed the monks and sprinkle pea
nuts on the trunks of elephants
all in a row that keep a-sWinging
to and fro; it's grand you know
to be a kid and see that big
Hagenbeck- Wallace Circus Show.
It's great to sit and watch the
clowns perform their funny ups
and downs, and see them laugh
and hear them chaff until you
split your sides in half; and
watch those blokes play wicked
jokes upon some unsuspecting
mokes, as fat and thin they an1ble
in, to make you squeal and smile
and grin.
It's fine to sit and watch the
rings, that hold so many, many
things, with horses here and
horses there; and pretty girls
with golden curls performing
scary mid-air Whirls, and drivers
bold in cars of gold, that race as
in the days of old; and monkeys
that will ride astride of ponies
that are true and tried and throw
a ball, but never fail; it's mighty
hard to watch it all.
It's great to see the big circus
parade, and swallow circus lemo-
made, and see the lights and
wonder sights, and pretty girls
in spangled tights; and feast
your gaze upon the blaze that
the tent displays. Oh, once a
year, its grand you know, to see
the circus show.
After unbosorning of the above
the circus man intimated that
Carl Hagenbeck and Great Wal
lace Shows combined would ar
rive in 0pelousas Tuesday, Sept.
80, aboard three special trains.
Two performances will be given,
at 2 and 8 D. m. The doors to
the geological paradise will be
opened an hour earlier. A two
mile long street parade will leave
the show grounds at ten o'clock.

OPELOUSAs LA, SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 20. 1913.
LOPEMENT
BUREAU DOING fine
Boosters Association Is Certain
To Succeek-Doing Great
Work.

The newly organized South
west Louisiana Development
Bureau, which is domiciled in
city of Lafayette, has already
begun to work on the right road
for the benefit of the people in
the thirteen parishes, which COM
prise Southwest Louisiana.
The bureau was organized for
the purpose of aiding the farmers
especially of this section. It is
not a money making thing, but
it needs money to carry on the
business which it does. which
business is principally the adver-
tizingof Southwest Louisiana and
getting in closer touch with the
markets of the world. It is
striving to get for the farmers,
of Southwest Louisiana, exactly
what the prosperous farmers in
the north and west are getting.
High prices foEtheir goods, fair
rates at the hands of the rail
roads, and an assurance of a
ready market at all times, are
the things which this bureau is
working on at present, and, it IS
not surprising TO state, that IL
has been meeting with a great
deal of success all along the line.
St. Landry parish has only five
in the Bureau, at pre-
sent, but it is hoped that within
the next few months it will have
five hundred. The fees are only
ten dollars a year: this is a very
small amount, when one takes
into consideration the many ad-
he will derive by being
a member of the bureau. One
of the advantages of being a
member is that, when one is in
the market for a certain thing, if
he notifies the bureau of this fact
he will be kept posted on prices
and those who viii sell him
this product directly and fre-
quently, and vice versa.
Il one is a large corn, or hay
raiser, all he has to do is TO noti-
fy the bureau that he has corn
or hay for sale and he viii soon
find a purchaser.
It is hoped that the people of
st. Landry will soon realize the
Importance of the Southwest
Louisiana Development Bureau,
and, that they will do all in their
power to promote its interest.

At a meeting held, recently,
by the promoters of the organ
lzing of a permanent Parish
Fair Association, it was decided
to hold a mass meeting, on Sat-
urday morning, at 10 o'clock, in
the courthouse, September 9th.
On account Of the inclemency
of the weather, last week, it was
concluded that it were best to
postpone this meeting, the sue
cess of which means great deal
to the farmers of this section.
All farmers, no matter who
they are or where they live, just
as long as they reside in this
parish, are earnestly urged to be
present at this meeting, so that
their views can be expressed on
the best possible means of going
about the perfecting of a Parish
Fair Association. Speeches will
be made by prominent men of
this city, as well as by some of
the leading planters of ST. Lam
dry, and all who have something
to say concerning the good of
the organization are requested
to be on hand.
A Parish Fair Association
means a great deal to this. Sec
ton. By the holding of an an
nual farm exhibit show, in this
city, farmers will become better
acquainted with the more mod
ern methods of farming, at the
same time derive unbounded
benefit from associating with
the leading planters of st. Lam
dry. The association will be on
the stvle of a stock company,
each share will sell at SIS, so that
every farmer in this parish will
be able to be a member. This
does not mean. however, that
one who is not a member will be

his new place, whilst Mr.. Harri-

land Telephone Company, in this

the finest in this section, having
been 'rnodernized' by Mr.. Har-

A MASS MEETING IS
CALLED FOR THE 9th.
Farmers to Discuss Permanent Organization OF

on Saturday 27th.

barred from placing his products
on exhibition, each year, but II
is simply for the purpose Of as
suring the annual fair.
It is expected that the Fair
Association, if it gets the neces-
sary cooperation at the hand of
the farmers, as we'll as the mer-
chants and business men of this
parish, will be on a style with
the Shreveport Fair, which is a
great success each year, and,
which brings money to those
who own stock in the associa-
ton. Of course, it cannot be
expected that the local associa-
ton will be as great as the
Shreveport Fair from the very
start, but it is a certainty that,
if the people Of st. Landry do
what they should, towards the
up-building of this parish fair,
it will not be long before the St.
Landry Parish Fair Association
will be as formidable as the
north Louisiana Fair.
It is hoped that several hun
dred people from the country
will be in this city on Saturday
morning, September 9th. SO as
to give the proper encourage
ment to the promoters of the
fair association, The men who
are working hard to perfect this
organization are leaders in the
financial, as well as the business
world, of this parish. Among
them are bankers, lawyers, doc
tors, farmers and other profes-
sional men. With such a bright
prospect, it would surely be a
Disappointment to the entire pop
ulation of st. Landry, if a perma-
nent fair association could not
be formed, and placed on the
right footing.
