Capt. Thos. L. Morse and

last Saturday afternoon at Gal
weston in the presence of few
intimate friends and relatives.
After spending a few days there
they arrived home on Tuesday

they will take up their residence
in New Iberia where they both
have many friends. The Enter

most continuously and Mr.. Con-
rad expects to mill upwards Of
10000 sacks before shutting
down for the season. The prices
ranged this week from 1925 to
1876 per sack and there is great
deal of rivalry among the BUYERS.
There are in this Parish fully a
dozen representatives of different
mills throughout the State who
! are anxious to obtain a supply OF
the early crop. Unless very in
