OR DONALDSON
VILLE?"

While The Chief is disposed to Ia
yor the suggestion that the name o.
this city be shortened by dropping
the final syllable, thus making II
'Donaldson'' instead Of ''Donalosoh
VILE" we do not regard the matter
j Of sufficient Importance to justliy d
controversy. and if any consldefaole
number of our fellow citizens are
| seriously and sentimentalIy opposed
to the abbreviation, it may De just
as well to drop the proposition ana
keep the willie.
Donaldson" was the original name
OF the town and no violence Would
therefore be done to the TRADITIONS
and history of the place by return
ing 20 it's first title A good many
people. particularly among the Gre
oles OF this section. habitually call
the city Donaldson" and the most
conspicuous organization the locality
has ever known was the "Canoniers
de Donaldson" of revered and glori-
GUS memory.
The affix of willie was an after
thought, born of the custom which
attached that addenduma to SO many
OF the villages and towns of lower
Louisiana, such as Napoleonville,
Paincourtville, Plattenville, Labadie-
vile, Vermilionville, Plaucheville, Alb
beville, Arnaudville, Bordelonville,
Marksville and many others. Even
Thibodaux was ornamented with the
surplus syllable, and not few of the
Creoles of the Lafourche valley still
speak of the town as '"Thibodaux-
yille," but general custom and legis-
lative enactment have performed the
operation of removing the verbal ap-
pendix, and surely Thibodaux is
shorter and better without it.
The distinctive part Of our city's
title is Donaldson, the name Of
it's founder, and there would and
should be general opposition to any
proposition to change that name, but
the simplification and abbreviation
Of the lengthy word, Donaldson
VILE" by dropping the superfluous
final syllable would appear to be a
comparatively unobiect:onable pro-
ceeding-eyen less serious from a
sentimental standpoint than the
changing OF Cabahaaoce street to
Railroad avenue or Attakapas street
to Nichols avenue.
But, whats in a name," after all?
"a rose by any other name will smell
as sweet" and the destiny Of this
city will be worked out according to
the disposition and exertions of it's
people, whether it sticks to the old
name of Donaldsonville or goes back
to the older one of Donaldson. Let's
keep that in mind.

A Personal Explanation.

Kindly pardon me for again intrud-
Ing on your time and space, but
wish to be permitted to make a per
sonal explanation and then, SO far
as am concerned, consider as closed
the question Of dropping vile from
the name Donaldsonville
After circulating the petition two
weeks past requesting the people to
express their individual preferences
by writing yes or no after their re
spective names, and which was in
tended as mere feeler, | withdrew
it as soon as I learned a fight would
be made in opposition to the change.
In spite Of the fact that the hun
dred and odd names secured on the
petition during the few hours it was
in circulation showed fully six to one
in favor of the change, l deemed it
the best policy for the Chamber of
Commerce to drop the matter and
run no risk of dividing the people

the development of any opposition
