Plant Trees.
OpeIousas, Jan. 20, IA.

Opeiousas, Jan. ~, IA.
Mr.. Editor:
The season for the planting of
trees is fast passing by, and but
few shade tr ees, as far as ] have
observed, have yet been planted
in Opelousas.
Will you again permit me to
call the attention Of our people
to the vast and manifold advan-
tages and the almost infnitesi-
NAL cost of such desirable public
improvements?
Let me say that while Opelou-
sas has many beautiful trees,
most of them stand too far away
from the streets to be of much
public benefit, and that every
man who plants shade trees
along his sidewalk or 8 or 4 feet
inside his property line will earn
the title of public benefactor and
deserve to have his name en-
rolled with those of DR.. Boagni.
DR.. Haas, Mr.. Perrodin and
others who did SO some years
ago. Their good example, / am
sorry to say, has not been gen.
orally followed.
In New Orleans several thou
sand trees are now being planted.
This has been a rule with that
city for several years, and the
same thing is true of every pro-
gressive town in the State.
Crowley, which only a few years
ago was built on a treeless plain,
has now many more fine trees
along its beautiful thoroughfares
than OpeIousas ever had. Long

ago from New lOrleans and has
been engaged at the Mason's
Drug store.
The wedding is scheduled to
take place at six o'clock this
Saturday morning and will be
a very quiet affair, only the
members of the immediate fam
lily being invited.
The couple will make Opelou-

DR.. j. S. Harvey To Move
To This City.

DR.. ]. s. Harvey. a prominent
dentist Of Washington, it is stat
ed by his friends here, is prepar-
ing to move to this city shortly.
DR.. Harvey and his wife have
been among the most progressive
citizens Of Washington. since the
well known dentist has made the
Courtableau town his home, over
three years ago.
The people Of Opelousas will
welcome DR.. Harvey and his
family most heartily and it Is to-
be hoped that they will strive as
hard to improve civic conditions
in this city az they did in Wash
ington.

An anthem by Mozart, rendered

one of the great musical g~eEius's
own Interpretation of the chant

come those just entering the
gates of onyx and jasper and

The several solos rendered
were az well exquisitely pleasing
to the ear, the whole program
being a decided success, the only
regrettable feature about the oc-
casion being the non rendering of
the duet, abide With Me-" by
Mrs. Jordon and Miss Meginely,
which particularly had been
much anticipated, both having
unusually pure and sympathetic
voices, and. commingled, they
were anticipated with pleasur-
able thought.
The sermon by Pastor Tomb
added to the making of the SER
vice one of success and pleasure.

tertainments Of the season was

Tuesday evening in honor of
Mrs. Conrad Bobb of N. O.
The euchre was not only
one of the most exciting and en-
joyable ones of the season. but
the luncheon as well, one of the
most delectable and daintily
served, the decoration of shell

groupings adding beauty and
giving an artistic effect to the
scene already replete with grace
and beauty lent by the fair assem-

unique affairs of the season, q
supper of fourteen covers, in ten
courses, was given at the lovely
home of Mrs. Henry Lastrapes,
Jr., on Wednesday night in hon.
or Of Mrs. Conrad Bobb.
A galexy of beauty was assem-
bled there upon that occasion
against exquisite setting, the
decoration of massed ferns and
pink camelias showing the artis-
tic bent of the charming hostess,
who, herself is an artist. The
affair will be long borne in mind
by all present, the g~limmering

He was in the gray uniform Of an
Albanian army officer. The only bits
OF gold lace that showed were the stripes
that marked his rank of General, for
that brilliant array OF Turkish honors
and medals that he once 50 conspicu-
ously wore he has put aside. You are
impressed with his great muscular
strength, gained in his many years Of
military service, with his breadth of
chest and his big arms and shoulders;
but you are fascinated with his eyes,
eyes such as no man ever had before,
that appear uncanny, too alert and sus-
picious and that at rest seem to be
sighting at You along a rifle barrel.
He passed the cigarettes to mis- visitor

smoke. He chews his cigarette, and the
intensity Of his emotions is usually
gagged by the speed with which he
destroys It. In an interview in which
Col. @. F. Phillips. Governor OF Scutari
and head OF the international forces
there, questioned him and in which he
constantly got himself tangled he tore
up three cigarettes. At the continue
ton of the examination the next day
he changed his tactics, made a simple.
