benefit aud relief of his people. the resi-
dents Of the Atchafalaya country. he is
also interested in good laws for every
section, and is in favor of the repeal OF
all oppressive and foolish laws.
Our tourist had been hearing the name
of Mr.. Westfall mentioned frequently
in conversations with the people he had
met, and he was especially glad to know
more about him. Mr.. Westfall was born
in Terre Hauts. Ind. His father was an
editor and publisher Of manv years
standing and enjoyed national reputa-
ton. The writer recently had the plea
sure of reading some biographical
sketches of Mr.. Westfall's father and
family. and it is refreshing to know
that Mr.. Nestfall comes from q family
that is known for Its high honor and
integrity, not just in their home COM
munity but by men Of national renOwn.
After the death Of his father, George
operated the publishing business until
he decided to come South. He bears the
best reputation in his home community,
is reputed for his honesty, and his
friends believe he can be depended upon
to stand for justice and the interests of
his parish. He went into the fish bust
ness at Atchafalaya when he first went
there. and was the first to build up a
market for the fishermen of that lOcali-
ty. of whom there are several hundred.
He and his wife have endeared themselves
to the Atchafalaya people by their gen.
erOsity and by the interest they always
take in the people. long before he ever
thought of becoming a Candidate for
the Legislature.
