II The wholesale grocery firm
of Messrs RenOudet {; Dietlein
have extended their business to
cover such territory that it is
necessary for them to use Motor
Trucks instead Of three mule
teams as formerly. The mule
wagons come in handy for short
distances. but now that this firm
have found it necessary to reach
out for a larger volume of bust
ness. it was necessary that more
trucks be purchased to give the
service. This week they received
through the Leblanc & Broussard
agency a two-ton truck that was
manufactured by the Republic
Motor Truck CO. Of Alma, Mich.
and from what we learn the pur-
chasers are DELIGHTED with the
machine. The Erath lee & Bot
tling Works have also purchased
one Of the same make motor
trucks Of ore ton for the rapid
delivery Of minerals, refresh
ments and beer.
Mr.. Letcher Grant of this
City is endeavoring to organize
the young men Of South Louisi-
ana into local military company
as part of the volunteer regi-
ment being formed by Mr.. James
T. Harris of New Orleans. Once
the volunteer regiment is formed
they will do military service in
Mexico, or along the border
wherever they are needed. The
regiment will be commanded by
Can't. James A. Moss of the Goth
United States Infantry. Mr.. Moss
is a brother of our fellow itizen
Mr.. G. P. Moss and has won rep
|rtation for himself as an ex-
perienced military man. It
viii be remembered Mr.. Grant
aided in organizing Company c.
which was commanded by the
late Anthony n. Muller and
ser, ed as First Sergeant in Com
pany C during the Spanish Amer
lean war. When in his teens Mr..
Grant attended the Davis Mill

We regret to chronicle the
fact that the large sugar refinery
of Hon. Adrien Gonsoulin Of To-
reauville, known as the Maria
Central, is being dismantled to
be removed to Cuba which is a
distinct loss to the people Of that
sect on who have profitted for
many years through its operation.
In an interview with Mr.. Thomas
Gonsoulin, vice-president of the
Maria Central Factory last Sat
yrdav. he informed us that if his
Company can get the co-opera-
ton Of the cane growers of that
section they will again. erect in
time for this years crop a mill of
not less than eco ton. daily capac-
tv. The $4,000 tons already con-
.racted for in that vicinity is not
sufficient to justify another mill, !
nut if those who are raising cane
n that section will show the right ;
Inclination towards supporting ,
mother refinery the members of
he Maria Company will un- ,
loubtedlv rebuild. The people Of
oreauville as we'll as the cane ,
growers know the advantages Of
having a mill right at their doors
