Last Sunday nig'I; the pastor
Of the local congregation pro. .h"d
on the theme: "What IS the
Matter with New lberia?" He
called attention to the fact that
he had only been here twenty-five
months. yet there has been such
an evident decrease in population.
He said a thorough diagnosis is
necessary and citizens must look
the facts in the face. The loss
has been on the side of real ma
terial value. while vice such as
is to be found in the "vice
zone" in the gambling spirit, in
the indulgence in wine and spirit
uous liquors, in the dissertation
of the Sabbath has not abated
one bit. Can any community
hold on to these things and build
ups The handwriting is on the
wall, and unless there is "a turn
ing to righteous ways" we may
look for even greater losses. The

LOREAUVILLE NOTES.

The past two weeks have adj
mitted Of active field work
throughout this section and ev-
erybody has been busy blowing
and planting cane, which will be
pushed to completion as quickly
as possible; every advantage be-
ing taken of the favorable wealth
err conditions. which it is hoped
will continue.
Fall planting seems to be fav-
ored in this section for many rea-
sons, and little, if any, cane will
be put down in windrow this
fall for spring planting next year.
The cane crop this year will be
one of the shortest on record.
There was very little cotton
planted in Fausse Pointe this
year and cotton picking will soon
be a thing of the past. Many OF
the farmers are very much dis
couraged through repeated fail
ures in cotton and will abandon
the staple and substitute cane or
rice in it's place. Corn and rice
are being held here by many
farmers; the prices being con-
sidered unsatisfactory. A good
hay and pea crop has been cured
and housed. Sweet potatoes are
fine and the yield will astonish
the farmers.
The merchants here report, that
the general business conditions
are as good as may be expected
and that their prospects for col
iecting much Of the advances
made to the farmers, during the
year, are bright and eneouras-
ing
The farmers of Fausse Pointe
are becoming wise on the subject
Of farming and realize now. that
they shall be obliged to take the.
plan of the hog and hominy
economist and diversity their
crops, seeking only to make .
living by raising more Of those
crops, that go into their daily
consumption and less of the one
crop system.

SEVEN THOUSAND WINDOW
DISPLAYS.
EVIDENCE OF A UNIQUE
FRATERNITY.

hlessrs. John r Tav.or & BIO.
Of this town, in connection with
nearly seven thousand large re-
tail druggists all over the United
States, is joining in making a big
display of Vinol during this week
of November first, which indicates
the fraternal conditions which ex-
list among the retail druggists
who are Vinol agents all over the
United States; in fact they are
organized into what is called the
Vinol Club throughout the coun-
try, from coast to coast. Twice
q year they make simultaneous
window displays Of this
preparation, for which they have
enjoyed the exclusive sale for
many years.
Travelling statesmen and tourists
often remark and wonder how it
is that they see such fine displays
of Vinol in every town whers
they 90 during Vinol Week,
spring and fall. and ask what it
means.
The attractive window displays
that these enterprising druggists
make are a feature Of their store,
and they are to be congratulated
upon their connection with Vinol
and enterprise in this respect.

i'm our last issue we men,
toned that Messrs- Goodwin 4
Schwing, owners of the Belle
Place Stock Farm had entered
their Hampshire pedigreed boar
at the Fair held at Baton Rouge
last week. It is gratifying to US
to state that they captured three
different prizes with this one hog.
The first prize in class of twelve
months and under 10; I'd prize,
Reserve Champion Boar; third,
Reserve Grand Champion. The
porker is only 16 months old and
tipped the scales at $50 pounds.
This shows what can be done here
in hog raising and it behooves
more of our people to interest
themselves in the best breed it
they go into the business of hog
raising. These gentlemen nave
one of the prettiest laid out farms
in Southwest Louisiana and are
making a big success.
