BUYS DRY GOODS AND sKIDOOs

On Monday evening a big burly
negro entered the Dry Goods Store OF
Mrs. Quinn on Patterson Street and
after purchasing goods to the amount
of Three Dollars and Ninety Cents
and requesting that the articles be
placed in as small a package as posi-
bic, the negro waited for the first
opportunity to make his escape with
the bundle while Mrs. Quinn was look
ing after some other goods for which
the negro had made inquiry. When
Mrs. Quinn's back was turned the
negro left hurriedly with the bundle
and ran down Vallette street to Belle
vile. During the run he was chased
by four young men of our town,
namely, Messrs Roome. Laufer,
Courtney. and Parmetel who captured
the negro and brought him back to
the Store where he was turned over
to the Police who had arrived by that
time. He was arrested and now be-
ing held for trial.

Great Advantages Told by Promoter

The opening of the Jefferson-Pla-
quemines Drainage District will add
much to the agricultural development
of South New Orleans, particularly
that section lying on the west bank.
The District comprises $4,000 acres
bounded on three sides by the Miss
issippi river and on the other by Har-
vey Canal, Bayou Barataria and a
navigable canal which is within a
quarter of a mile of the Mississippi
river These furnish a water frontal
of 40 miles, which will be a great
boon to manufacturers, especially
with the construction of switch
tracks either by the Southern Pacific,
the Texas and Pacific or the New
Orleans, Southern and Grand Isle
Railroad.
Experts declare the lands will pro-
duce crops valued at $4,000, 900 an
nually, which, it is said, will be the
same as if the people of the city of
New Orleans had found $300,000,0O0
invested at 4 per cent per annum.
at must be remembered" said
George A. Hero, that this territory
has now population of about 10000
three important railroads, three cleo
trio car lines, four banks, gas plant,
an electric light plant, filtered water
just the same as the city has on this
side of the river, and, in fact, all the
conveniences.

ments were completed for the secont
annual picnic of the Bennington
