Death of Theophile Boudreaux.

Theophile Boudreaux, a native of
the New River section of Ascension
parish, but for the past twenty-nine
years resident of Assumption, died
at his home near Lahadieville Tues
day, May 80, at $40, o'clock a. na.,
aged 60 years and months. Mr..
Boudreaux was a well-known sugar
planter, and at the time of his death
was president of the RoudTeaux Land
Company. He served as president of
the police jury Of Assumption some
years ago, and in this capacity, as
in all other obligations Of life, he ac-
Quilted himself with credit and earn
ed warm place in the hearts of his
friends, neighbors and Pensioners.
Funeral services were held at the st.
Philomena Catholic church at Laba-
dieville Wednesday morning, May 81,
at T o'clock, and the remains were
conveyed to Cornerview for inter-
ment in the cemetery of Sacred
Heart church. Mr.. Boudreaux is
survived by his wife and four chill
dren, namely: Messrs. Theophile and
Ulysses Boudreaux, Mrs. Adrien Ma
auin, and Miss Elise Boudreaux, and
a sister, Miss Virginia Boudreaux.
To these afflicted ones. The Chief, in
common with the family's host of
friends throughout Ascension, tenders
assurances of profound sympathy.

Another Demonstration,

7. I. Tyree, manager of the local
telephone exchange, advertised in
last Saturdays Chief that if the
bicycle which had been taken from
the Sidewalk in front of the COM
pany's Office several days previously
were returned, a suitable reward
would be paid. Within an hour after
the paper had been on the streets the
missing bike was in Mr.. Tyree's pos
session. It develops that George
Thompson, the colored mail carrier,
saw the machine in front of the tele-
phone company's Office at quite a
late hour one night, and thinking it
had been forgotten there by the own
er, took it to the postofice, with the
expectation that a claimant would APP
pear in due time. As soon as he
learned to whom the wheel belonged
he advised Mr.. Tyree Of its where
abouts. Thus is it again very eff
fectively demonstrated that 'tit pays
TO advertise"

Home from Cuba.

Among the passengers on the Un1-
ted Fruit Company's steamer TURF
alba which arrived at New Orleans
last Monday were Mr.. and Mrs. j. Lee
Dalferes, Florian j. Michel and Mes
tor L. Landry, of this community.
Mr.. Dalferes has just completed a
successful engagement as superin-
tendent Of the sugar-making depart
ment of the big Soledad factory near
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Messrs. Mi
'chel and Landry were employed as
sugar-boilers at the Ella central fac
tory at Santa Lucia. Cuba. The lat
ter is a new plant, erected by the
firm of Dibert. Bancroft 4 Ross OF
New Orleans, and is one of the most
modern and best-equipped factories
on the island. All of the machinery
including the mill, is operated by
electric power. The grinding CAM
paign was curtailed a few weeks ut
Ella, owing to the fact that the rainy
season had set in, which made it tx
tremely difficult to get the cane to the
mill. Messrs. Michel and Landry
reached Donaldsonville Monday night.
and Mr.. and Mrs. Dalferes arrived
the following night.

Pros. Mestayer to Remain Here.

As per announcement appearing
elsewhere in The Chief, Prof. Otto
Mestayer will open a summer school
in the Donaldsonville High School
building, beginning Monday, June 10.
While the school will be for the spe-
cial benefit of conditioned pupils, a
limited number of others who desire
to continue their studies or take up
special work will be enrolled. Prof.
Mestayer served as assistant princi-
pal of the Donaldsonville High School
during the session just closed, and will
again fill that position at the coming
session. He is a capable and con-
scientious teacher, as well as a young
man Of attractive personality and gra-
cious bearing, and during the period
of his residence here has evineed de-
gree of public spirit and progressive
ness that stamps him as an exeep-
'tionally worthy and desirable citizen.
The fact that he has decided to re-
main in Donaldsonville will afford sim
cere qualification to his many friends
and the community at large.

by Misses Mildred Buquoi, Ethel Wer-
ner and Inez Greenwood, and Messrs.
Walter Lallande of Napoleonyille, Ro-
land Binnings, Otto Mestayer and Ell

was one Of the enjoyable features Of
the program. Music was rendered
between the acts by Claiborne Will
liarrs' orchestra, and there was a
iitney dance at the fair grounds pa
yilion after the performance.
