Revival Closed

he revival WHICH uii " ou III
progress at the Presbyterian chur b
for two weeks, under the leader
shin of Rev. VIM +. Hudson, OF
Staunton, closed on Monday night.
Mr.. Hudson had intended to close
the meeting on Sunday night, but,
yielding to the request OF a croWued
house on that occasion, he con
scented to preach again on Monday
night. 1t is safe TO say that he
felt amply rewarded for any sacrI-
flee that this additional service may
have cost him, for a dozen or more
presented themselves at the alter
and enlisted with the large army
that had been previously enrolled.
The success and far-reachlng I'M
portance of Mr.. Hudson's evange-
listic meeting have been the theme
of conversation on all occasions and
in all gatherings, and the great
moral up-lift, the universal better.
ment, that came as q result, are
most gratifying to all the people.
As stated before, Mr.. Hudson'S
methods are impressive and effect
tive, free from halshness and
abuse, so much SO, in fact, that II
he has received word of unkind
criticism since he began work in
the county, no one seems aware of
it.
Perhaps the meeting reached its
crest, in point Of interest and i'm
pressiveness, on Saturday night
Good Fellowship Night" The
church was filled to its capacity, in
fact, this was true Of each service
held, and after the sermon, an APP
peal was made to all who had any
enmity in their hearts to meet in
front of the altar and "wipe out
the past" Former friends and
families who had been estranged
for months and years responded,
and the scene was one long to be
remembered and appreciated by
me people, not only of the town,
but of the entire county.
At the service Sunday night,
four bright, promising young men
of the town and community eX-
pressed their desire and purpose to
enter the ministry when the preach
er asked if there were any who had
outlined specific work for the Mas
ter, more especially that mention
ed.
The doors of the church were
opened at the Presbyterian church
Sunday morning and night and 4
large number were received. 4
like opportunity was given at the
Methodist church Tuesday night
after a sermon by the pastor. and
with like result. We did not
learn the number in either case Mr..
Parker announced on Sunday |
morning that Isl persons had pre-
seated themselves up to that time,
and it is probable that the number
was increased to IT'S before the
meeting closed on Monday night.
The attendance at the two Sab
bath schools was greatly augment
ed on Sunday morning by the in
Auence at work, both schools hav-
ing a record attendance.
The voluntary offering made on
Sunday to aid Mr.. Hudson in
further evangelistic work amounted
to $4,000, according to his own
statement. The evangelist left for
his home in Staunton Tuesday
morning.

MACHINERY AGENT rs
ESTABLISHED HERE
W. B. Gay, of the Gullett Com
pany, Makes Headquarters
in Opelousas

After having been located in
Alexandria for the past nineteen
years as a salesman of cotton gin
machinery, Mr.. W. B. Gay of the
Gullett Gin Company, Amite, La,
has located in Opelousas and will
make this city his future head
quarters. He has decided to 10
cate here for the reason that he
sees the possibility of growing
cotton successfully in this ter
ritory, despite the boil weevlls,
and fully expects to sell many gin
plants in this immediate terri
tory. IN fact, Mr.. Gay recently
sold his sixth gin plant in this
section and has several other
prospects on the string, all OF
which he fully expects to close
up before the season begins next
fall. Last week he was visited
by Mr.. J. E. johnson, superin-
tendent of the Gullett Company,
who was much interested IN this
city and surrounding country.

SALOON MEN FILING
NOTICE OF APPLICATION
Law Requires Them to Publish
Formal Notice Of Intention
to Open or Continue

By reference to the advertls-
mo columns of The Clarion to-
day it will be seen that many
saloon men Of this parish are
either filing notice Of their N
tention to apply to municipal Of
parish authorities for permit
and licenes to begin or continue
the operation Of a saloon during
the wear 1917. This is the re-
ouirement of the Gay-Shattuek
law but there seems to be some
misunderstanding relative to this
provision of the law. Many VINO
have been in business are OF the
opinion that they do not have 60
file notice of their intention to
apply for a permit, ETC., to con
tinue their business. A few
however, rather than run any
risk in the matter publish Their
formal notice each year. In TINS
they are undoubtedly correct fo1
their current license and perml'
is for but one year and it IS ne,
cessary to apply for a permit a. ane
license to continue the operation
of their business.

UNFORTUNATE SHOOTING
AffRAY LAST SUNDAY
DOUBLE HOMICIDE IN
RESTRICTED DISTRICT
Officer Goodloe Exonerated BY
Coroner's Jury for Killing
Father and Son

An unfortunate shooting at
fair occurred at the house of Ida
Portale, in the restricted district
in this city last Sunday night, at
about 9 o'clock. As a result OF
the affray two men, Arthur Ihi-
bodeaux, ST.. and Arthur Thlbo-
deaux, Jr., fatherz and son, lost
their lives. Officer Goodloe' on
duty in the district, did the shoot
ing and at the session of the cor
oner's inquest as exonerated by
the jury.
Details of the affair are lacking
with us, but we understand that
both men were intoxicated, were
armed and resisted arrest. It is
stated that the young man fired
one shot at the officer and that
the bullet tore the officer s
clothes.
The elder man was about forty
years of age and the head of a
large family in the Coulee Croche
section where he is prominently
connected. The son was seveen-
teen years Of age. The double
funeral was held from the family
residence on Tuesday.

TWO PARTIES LOSE OUT;
RESULT OF SMALL VOTE
Republicans and Progressives
Fail to Poll Ten Per Cent Of
Total Required

AS a result Of the vote polled
in the state in the presidential
election on November { the re-
publican and progressive parties
lose their official standing, hay
ing failed to receive ten per cent
of the total vote cast. This is a
requirement of a legislative stat
ute and before these parties can
participate in future elections
the law will have to be changed.
The figures given out by the
secretary of state show that the
highest democratic elector IN the
recent election received 1885
votes; the highest republican
elector, 6.466; the highest pro
gressive, 6.34S, while the socialist
electors, while not appearing on
the official ballot, received 292.

ANOTHER Rt Ute Is
BEING Ul)NOIDLRED
Evangeline Highway May Run
From Bunkie Through
Grand Prairie
PROPONENTS CLAIM TT is
BETTER THAN BAY. BOUEF
Would be Direct Line from Avoy-
elles Town to Washington
and Also Avoid the Sticky
Soil Along the Boeuf

The Eyangeline Highway,
which is the proposed connect
ing link between the Jefferson
and Spanish Trail highways, in
stead of coming from Bunkie
down Bayou Boeuf, may run
through Grand Prairie to Wash
ington, thus eliminating ! a long
stretch of deep sand and sticky
mud along the bayou. Propon-
ents of this route claim it not on
" superior but a shorter line
from the hustling Ayoyelles town
to Washington and therefore
more to be considered when the
final selection is to be made.
It is also said that besides its
natural advantages of shortness
and soil conditions it will also
locally serve a greater number OF
people. as the Grand Prairie sec
ton is more thicky populated
than the Bayou Boeuf section.
The former is beautiful open
country, thickly studded with
farms and the matter of laying
out a new road or improving one
of the present roads would be a
comparatively easy job.
The general meeting Of the
newly formed Evangellne High
way Association will be held in
this city on December Il, next
and it is expected that at that
time the matter of final route from
Bunkie to Washington will be de-
finitely decided. It is generally
supposed that from Washington
to Sunset the route will follow the
present gravel road built by the
parish Of st. Landry From
Sunset south to the Lafayette
line the road is not gravelled but
the regular road between those
two points will no doubt be de-
cided upon. Across the line, IN
Lafayette, that parish is already
constructing modern highway
to the limits Of the city of Lafa-
yette and it is supposed that the
road will be built up TO the par
ish line at Bayou Carencro.
The definite route Of the Jeger-
son Highway, from Bunkie south
east. is to be decided on within
a few days. There seems to be
quite a contest on over two routes
from that town, one running
parallel with the main line OF the
/ Texas & Pacific Railway to Mel
Vile, the other going by way OF
Simmesport, thence to Baton
Rouge. Also, there seems to oe
another hot contest on as 70
whether the route will follow the
east bank or the west bank, OF the
| Mississippi river to New Orleans
Manager Clarkson Of the big high
way will be at the Bentley Hotel,
| Alexandria, tomorrow morning
and within few days following
| will begin the work Of scoring
the various proposed routes.
