We are informed by one of the res
idents residing near Rynella F. o. that
for the past ten days, the Catholc
church at the above mentioned place has
not been used as place of worship, but
instead the home of Mr.. John Deslatte
was fitted up with an altar and all the
,ther necessary pharaphernalia to &C
commodate the church going people O..
that denomination. 1t is rumored that
Hon. Edward McIlhenny of Avery Is
land has offered to donate a site, II the
Church authorities seen fit to remove
their Chapel nearer the Island.
We had pleasant call this week from
Mr.. A. E. Frick of the firm of Frick
Bros. who operate a small canning rae
tory near Petite Anse. These gentlemen
contemplate making some extensive adj
ditions to their factory in the very near
future which will enable them to sup
DIV large demand for the products
turned out bv them since engaging N
that line of business. Being successful
truck farmers themselves they will do
much to develop that section of the
Parish if they meet with the proper en-
cinity. We wish them success.
-Wistaria Chapter No. 81, Order Of
the Eastern Star, held reception Wed.
nesday night at the Masonic Temple.
The occasion was the annual visit OF the
Grand Worthy Matron of the Grand
Chapter State of Louisiana. A most en-
ioyable time was had, the work of the
Oder was exemplified and the address by
the guest of the evening, was replete
with instruction, edification, and beauty
made more so by the charming per-
sonality of the Grand Officer. The BAN
Duet room was tastefully and beautifully
decorated for the occasion and the menu
was most delightful and appetizinR. The
speeches were pie sing and productive
of good fellowship and social reunion.
About forty members ladies and gentle
men were present.
Mouton & Prescott, Pharmacists. Tel

Washington dispatches of March
14th gave out the welcome news that the
bill of Congressman Broussard asking
for an appropriation of $4,000 with
which to purchase and establish the Ex-
detrimental Farm Station to be located
within a few miles of our City had been
granted by the House of Representatives.
It will be remembered many months
sugar schedule was passed Congressman
Broussard informed our people that he
would do his best to secure as many ex-
perimental stations as he could for
Southern Louisiana and on Saturday last
succeeded in getting the bill through the
Legislature. At this time when it is
clearly shown that our farmers will be
compelled to engage in live stock rails
ing and intensive farming, we are salts
fled that great good will be accomplished
once the station is established within
our Parish. We have not the least idea
where the farm will be located, but
FL e Ia,
within a radius of three miles that could
easily be purchased at a reasonable fig
ure if used for demonstration purposes.
Mr.. Broussard deserves much credit for
bringing this matter to a realization in
. short a time.

Among the important jury cases
which came up before the District Court
this week was that of Mr.. Geo. Schultz
man versus the Iberia & Eastern Rail
road foz damages to the amount of
$1,000 for obstructing his drainage at
the intersection of his property at the
Corporate line. Since the building or
the Frisco Railroad on Mr.. Schultz
mans property, the gentleman mas oeen
unable to get relief from the accumula-
ton of water which is supposed to pass
through a culvert built by the above
named Railroad and not being able to
get redress, Mr.. Schultzman resorted to
the Court for damages, being represent
ed by Judge J. R. Davis, A. N. Muller
and Robt S. Bell, whilst the defense
was ably represented by Mr.. Porteus R.
Burke. According to the testimony adj
duced from witnesses put on the stand
by the Railroad, it was made to appear
that the trouble was due to the South
ern Pacific drain and not of the Frisco,
but the Jury could not see it in that
light and awarded Mr.. Schultzman
damage of $500. The case will now be
taken to the Supreme Court for q final
decision. The Jury was composed of
Messrs. Willie Ansley, H. B. Jewell,
Alex Courage, J. T. Lejeune, R M.
Aucoin, A. Burkhart, Leon Landry, Mi I
chel Krapper. Pierre Oubre, Frank
Traigle and Geo. st. Marie.
