Mr.. Isaac Jacobs, represent
ing the Opelousas Mercantile
Company in company with Mr..
A. j. Suberbielle toured this end
of the Parish this week purchas-
ing cotton from those of our
farmers who would sell at the
present prices offering &c for the
middling class. We understand
the gentlemen purchased outright
about $50 bales which was shipped
into Opelousas. A great many
of Our farmers are still holding
their cotton prefering to wait for
better prices. Those that can af-
ford to keep the staple few
months longer will undoubtedly
get Zoe a pound and we do not
blame them for wanting all they
can get.

Many of our people have
been reading in the leading pa
pers about the jitney cans that are
making such iproads into the
street car business in all OF the
leading cities. Few know, how
ever, that New IBERIA has two
young citizens in the persons OF
Messrs. Jos. Davis and Joe
Daigre who have purchased one
of these large ears which they
are operating in the far off city
of San Francisco. Both OF these
young gentlemen are holding
lucrative positions in that great
city, but find ample time to man
age the business end of their I'M
dertaking. We wish them sue
cess and feel confident they will
build up a profitable business.

Mr.. "A. A. Dauterive, the
proprietor of the Hotel Frederic
Cigar and News Stand has this
week made some changes that
should add to his already large
sales of magazines and cigars. 1t
has always been necessary to en-
ter the lobby of the hostelry in
order to reach his stock, which
was not only an inconvenience to
many Of his customers, but many
ladies who buy magazines were
timid about entering and making
their purchases from him for that
reason. This week a large door
in the front of the building has
been cut out enabling the public
to step right up to his stand with
out entering the lobby at all.
Aside from that his business can
now be seen from Main Street
and is sales should increase as a
consequence.
