New Picture Show Doing
Nicely.

One of the pleasant features
of Landry street, despite the
cool weather, is the Garden The
tire Airdome, which has been
drawing very nice business,
without interfering with the
Princess Theatre. Everybody
speaks well of Mr.. Crawford and
his picture show.
The manager of the picture
show has been fortunate in Sc
curing a feature for every night
during the past week and for
next week he has announced he
would have five feature nights.
the Universal films have been
giving thorough satisfaction.
Mr.. H. Z. Clark, street paw
ing contractor, who has formed
a number of friends in this city,
proved to be the luckiest person
in the Garden Theatre audience
on last Tuesday night when a
diamond ring was given away as
a prize, He left the show with
a smile on his face and seemed
to be proud at being the pos
SCISSOR of the diamond ring.

ST. LANDRY IS IN
FIELD FOR NORMAL
Committe Goes To Baton Rouge To Get Line
On Campaign For One OF The
Normal Schools.

st. Landry will be in the field
for the normal school which will
be established in Southwest Lou
isiana and if the people of the
parish cooperate there is no
doubt in the world that one Of the
towns in this parish will secure
the institution.
A committee of prominent citi-
zens from this city composed Of
Sheriff Marion L. Swords, Mayor
e. L. Loeb, Z. FL. Mornhinveg,
president of the Opelousas Pro-
gressive League and J. G.. Law
Ter, secretary of the same organI-
zation, went TO Baton Rouge dur
ing the week to get a line on the
campaign which will be Waged by
the different parishes in this sec
tion of Louisiana for the school.
Plans are being drawn for the
campaign in this parish and If
present reports are correct this
parish stands the best chances
for the school. A committee
will be appointed from various
sections of the parish to ascertain
whether or not the people Of this
parish are desirous Of the school.
It is understood that a two and
one half mill for ten years will
be voted upon by the taxpayers
of this parish in order to levy
$500, 900 for the erection Of the

HOME BOYS WIN GAME
FROM BATON ROUGE
Thompson's and Francioni's
Playing Wins Game
For Locals.

Getting the best of a slugging
match Opelousas defeated the
Baton Rouge team on last Sum
day evening by the score of 6 to
5. Neither pitcher was in any
great form, both having to de-
pend largely on the hitting of
their teammates to win the
game. Casey, however, did a
little better than Murphy.
Had it not been for the splen-
did playing of Francioni and
Thompson a different tale might
be told to-day. Francioni play
like a demon on second, though
an error was chalked up against
him; hitting the ball three out
of four and stealing two bases
was his record. Thompson play
ed the most sensational ball In
the field, securing five putouts
in center, atthe same time rob-
bing the Baton Rouge boys out
of three hits. His batting eye
was also in very good trim, he
securing 2 hits out of three trips
to the plate.
After retiring the visitors in
one two three order the local
boys went to bat with a determi-
nation of winning the game
from the start, as is evidenced
by the manner they treated the
curves of Murphy. Jake Atz,
one time leading sl1ortstop OF the
Southern League and for many
years the idol Of the New Or
leans fans, first up for Opelou-
sas secured a pretty two base
hit. to start the ball a rolling.
Charley Thompson laid down a
bunt, sacrificing Atz to third.
Jackson was safe when Danna
nluffied his fly, Atz remaining on
third. C. Dejean next up bit
an easy roller to Fl. Pruyn, who
was puzzled with the Dali allow
ing the runner to be safe at
first in an attempt to throw Atz
out at home and Jackson at third
at the same time. Atz was safe
at home, whilst Jackson was
perched on third. Broussard,
however, in his usual batting
form slammed out a clean hit to
right, scoring both Jackson and
Deiean. Broussard grabbed
second and scored on Francioni's 's
two base hit. Francis stole
third and was safe at home when
Powell threw wild in an attempt
to catch him mapping at third
At the end of the first inning tht
score stood: 0pelousas 5, Bator

PAVEMENT in This
CITY NOW COMPLETE
Opelousas Has Best Paved
Streets Of Any City It's
Size In Louisiana.

When the pavement on Mar
ket street, between Landry and
Bellevue, was completed on We'd
nesday contractor Fl. 7. Clark
had finished his job in Opelou-
sas. This city now has the dis
tinction of having more miles OF
paved streets than any city its
size in the state.
Not only did the paved streets
cost a large sum of money, but
it required many weeks to COM
plete the job. Now, however,
the streets are practically per-
fectly paved, since the city Of
ficials took pains to draw up the
plans and specifications SO as to
suit Opelousas exactly, whilst
the contractors followed these
plans in every detail.
It is not expected that the
wood blocks will give this city
very much trouble as the streets
in this city are exceptionally well
drained.
The completion of the paved
streets brings to mind the hard
fight which the recently retired
administration had to make in
order to secure modern thorough
fares for this city. 1t required
several months in order toobtain
the necessary signatures for the
pavement, as we'll as the neces-
sary funds with which to do the
work. The pavement will be a
monument to the board of alder
men which was composed of DR..
Shaw, Simon Sicily. Dave Black
sher, Louis Danel and C. P. Dun
bar. These men ably assisted
Mayor Loeb in his endeavors to
have the principal streets in this
city paved, and had it not been
for them it is a sure bet that the
people of Opelousas would not
now be pointing with pride at
the splendid pavement recently
completed.

will be great asset for any
town in st. Landry, besides be-
ing of material interest to the
education of the children Of this
parish.
It is proposed that people from
this parish will storm the capi-
tai when the bill will appear be-
fore the house for the erection
of a normal school in one of the
parishes in Southwest Louisiana.
The municipal as well as par
ish officials are all of the opinion
that st. Landry should get this
school and it is now left for the
people of this parish to decide
for themselves. It is hoped that
there will be no opposition to
this proposition as st. Landry is
badly in need of better and
cheaper educational facilities,
as would be afforded by the es-
tablishing of an up-to-date nor
NAL schools.
The fight for the scnool, in
the event that the parish secures
the institution will undoubtedly
rest between Eunice, Washing
ton and Opelousas.
Lake Charles is making a
strong bid for the proposed nor
NAL and unless the people of st.
Landry are awake to the situa-
tion the Calcasieu capital will be
awarded the school.
Every citizen in st. Landry
should interest himself about the
proposition of securing a good
school for this section and it is
hoped that the country as well as
the towns will cooperate with
one another by all pushing for
st. Landry.

Arcade Entrance to Prin-
cess Completed.

Manager w. F. Nolan of the
Princess Theatre, after working
strenuously on the arcade en-
trance to his show, is now rest
ing easy. as the new entrance is
completed.
The addition to the Princess
not only adds considerably to
the show building, but it also
beauties Landry street to a
great extent. The work was
supervised by contractor and
architect T. George Chachere,
and as usual Mr.. Chachere turn
ed out a very good job.
Opelousas now has two first
class moving picture shows and
both have been drawing very
large crowds during the spring.
and the movie loving people Of
this city boast that this city has
the best moving picture shows
in the state.

one runner across the plate. Fl.
Pruyn first up went safe on first
when Casey threw wild, the run
ner at the same time taking sec
ond. Danna scored Pruyn, with
IA hit, ending the scoring until
the fifth inning, when Opelousas
again counted another tally.
Jackson first up started the
fifth inning with a long three
bagger, and was scored by
Broussard's hit, after Charley
Dejean had rolled out via short
stop to first base. Franeioni also
hit safe, but was put out at third
in an attempted steal, after
stealing second base.
In the beginning of the sixth
things did not look SO bright for
the locals when Baton Rouge
scored three runs, threatening to
tie the score.
Helms was walked by Casey
but was out trying to steal sec
ond. G. Pruyn hit safe and
scored on Fl. Pruyn's two base
hit who ran across the plate when
Danna hit safely. Danna stole
second and scored on PoWell's
hit, ending the scoring and set
ting the minds Of the local fans
at peace.
Sundays game was nothing
sensational, but it was very in
teresting. The bright particu-
lar stars were Broussard, Thomp-
son and Francioni for Opelousas,
Danna and H. Pruyn for Baton
Rouge.

Celebrate Paper Wedding.

The following is clipped from
the St. Francisville True Demo
cret, which will prove Of some
interest to the friends of
Mrs. Daniel. who was be-
fore her wedding Miss Marie
Sandoz of this city:
The paper anniversary of the
marriage of DR.. and Mrs. I. NJ.
Daniel of Star Hill was observed
on the evening of April 18th, by
the assemblage of a large number
of guests at their cosy and COM
Portable home, Honeysuckle
Hill. /" The exterior of the house
and the grounds were light with
paper Japanese latterns, while
banks of fern and evergreen
were intermingled with myriads
of paper flower, cleverly fashion
ed to resemble closely the pro-
ducts of nature. DR.. and Mrs.
Daniel stood to receive under a
large bell OF tiny 0aper n0WefS
in various colors, and on the top
a spray of mistletoe. Both wore
their wedding clothes, her cos
tune of dainty white narquiset-
tie being as stylish and attractive
as when she doned it as a happy
two short years ago.
Contests, games and music fill

ST. LANDRY CROP IS
one MONTH BEHIND
Farmers Complain of Cold
Weather. Corn Coming
Up to Expectations.

Farmers throughout st. Lam
dry are complaining that this
spring has been too severe on
them. When it was not too
much rain the cold weather
would prevent the crop from
growing, the consequence of
which the crops in st. Landry
have been retarded for over one
month already.
The lateness of the crop Goes
not necessarily mean, as many
believe that the farmers in this
parish will again lose thousands
Of dollars. There is hope of a
record breaking crop if the
weather would onlyssget in a bet
ter mood; warm weather and
rain is much needed at present.
The farmers of St. Landry,
however, have the good fortune
of being optimists instead of
pessimists, and upon this relies
q great deal the success OF the
ST. Landry crop this season.
There is hope of a big corn crop
and if this is to be the case there
is no doubt that financial condi-
tions in this parish will be bet
ter than for the last seven years.
The corn crop is the only one
thus far showing good signs, al
though in some places it is re-
ported that worms have caused
considerable alarm. The cotton,
although it is a good stand. is
slow in growing up, and it is re-
ported that the sugar cane is the
most backward of all crops.
However it is thought that as
soon as it rains all crops will
grow up rapidly.
