GroseIe Gatherings.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. B. LaidlaW OF the
Mclaughlin Orange farm near Wood
lawn were surprised Sunday by the
arrival of their brother and his wife,
Mr.. and Mrs. j. H. LaidlaW of Detroit,
Michigan. They have come to look over
the sunny south and at the same time
pay Mr.. and Mrs. Laidlaw d long prom
ished visit. Mr.. j. H. and A. B. made a
flying trip to Kinder Friday SO that
Mr.. ]. H. could see more of our garden
spot known as the sunny south. In
Allen Parish we hope that Mr.. j. II.
LaidlaW will see some of the advant'
ages of our country, and become
neighbor in the near future. Mr.. A. b,
LaidlaW is very busy setting out rs
or 30 acre orchard of the sour fruit
trees, having about 2,7OO trees now on
the farm. Mr.. ScogginS, the deep we'll
man, has contracted to put down the
well to be used for watering the trees,
and operation will probably begin with
the next thirty days. A big dirt reser-
yoir will also be built on the farm for
an emergency supply of water IN case
of unexpected cold weather.
Mrs. A. Stanley has added small line
of dry goods to her line of groceries
and she is now ready to serve her
customers by the yard as well as
with fresh groceries.
Mr.. Alex Miller is hauling logs this
week for his brother, Oscar, who ex.
poets to start saving in few days.
We were visited on the 23rd and Oath
by sleet and snow storm, which was
probably sample of winter should we
have had any. 1t is lovely to be able
to throw snow balls once year.
Mr.. Marvel Aribia of our midst spent
Mardi GraS at BaZile, where the masqu.
Grade was well conducted, in fact grand.
Mr.. Paul Hebert anticipates moving
to the Grouse & Managan tram, where
he has accepted a position on the tram.
Mr.. Clarphy Corbello, of near Man.
chester, La, has moved to GroSele,
near Mr.. F. Miller, where he expects to
farm this season.
We wish to correct an error in the
GroSele Topics of last week, where it
was stated that Mr., LeBleu and Miss
Josef Bronx were married. 1t was not
LeBleu, it was LeBebee instead of
LeBleu. Whether the mistake is the
fault of the writer or the Journal force
we can not say.
Mr.. and Mrs. Alex Miller of Fenton
spent Saturday and Sunday at the M.
o. Canal with Mrs. Miller's parents.

are still sending.

cords OF 4.foot wood to be used for

The rumors are that the sugar cane
that was saved for seed here is in bad
condition, very much of it being spoiled
and not fit for seed.
