name RECEIVER FOR
OPELOUSAS GULF
William Peterman Comes to
Opelousas to Take Charge
of Railroad.

Following an application made
by the Bankers Trust Company
of New York City for the fore
closure of a mortgage held by
that interest, Judge Alex Boar
man of the Federal District
Court signed an order Friday
afternoon throwing the0 pelousas
Gulf and Northeastern Railroad
in receivership and an additional
order appointing William H..
Peterman of Marksville, La, as
receiver.
The Opelousas Gulf and North
eastern was constructed about
eight years ago, the late Thomas
H. Lewis being the father of
this important railroad. Al
though the O'Gee is a short line
it is one that helped considerably
in the rapid development of this
section some six or eight years
ago; several little towns, which
are now important shipping
points, have grown all along the
road.
1t was generally thought by
the public at large that the
O'Gee was in good financial con-
ditions, but many local people,
who knew a little of the inside
affairs expected the road to be
thrown into the hands OF a re-
ceiver before long.
Mr.. Peterman, who is a prom
inent lawyer from Marksvllle
and who is a member OF the
board of directors of the Opelou-
sas Gulf Northeastern Railroad
came to 0pelousas on Tuesday
to take charge of the affairs OF
the road.

Southwestern Reflections

With Thanksgiving approach
ing, it is pertinent to inquire
how many Southwest Louisiana
farmers are prepared with fat
three-dollar turkey cocks to meet
the demands. of local epicures
and those Of New Orleans, Hous-
ton and Beaumont? Suppose
every farmer had even one hun
bred fat turkeys for sale now;
he wouldn't have to give his cot
ton away for six cents a pound.
Suppose, in addition, every
farmer had a half dozen filters
of six-months old pigs, eight to
the litter and each pig weighing
$50 pounds. With corn and cow
peas and sweet potatoes and
pumpkins ripe in the fields, an
other fifty pounds could be ad-
ded within thirty days and there
would a years supply of break
fast and side bacon, hams, sau-
sage, lard and head cheese, be-
sides a considerable surplus to
bring in Christmas cash. Are
you in on this? Ii not do you
consider yourself a real farmer?
Still we haven't mentioned
beef and dairy cattle, which no
real farm can be without, a
small bunch of sheep, and a
blooded colt or two. Do you
consider that you have any right
to complain about hard times, if
you have neglected these ele-
mentary accessories of any insti-
tuition that can lay reasonable
claim to the dignity of the farm?
Now about this Bureau. Dc
