Judge Gilbert L. Dupre and MI.
e. B. Dubuisson are in receipt OF a
letter from the Secretary Of the
Louisiana Bar Association, stating
that the City of Opelousas had been
suggested to the Executive Commit
tee Of the Louisiana Bar Associa-

that our people would be delighted
to have the Association meet here.
That Opelousas knew how to en-
tertain such a crowd as would at
tend. That we cannot only accom-
modate all who come, but give
them a royal welcome. All our
people desire. is timely notice,

THE WOMAN'S CLUB

The first meeting of the 0pelou-
sas Woman's Club was with Miss
Belle Dupre, Saturday afternoon,
Jan. 8th.
| That the people Of Opelousas may
know the object Of this organlza-
ton, we deem it fitting to tell
briefly some Of the things the club
hopes to accomplish, that is, with
the assistance of the good people Of.
Opelousas. The object and pur-
pose of the club is the literary and
civic advancement of not only It's
few members but of the town and
its people.
AS most of the readers of these
columns already know, the MAN
civic advancement for which we
are striving at present, is securing
of a Carnegie Library. This club OF
small membership does not nope TO
accomplish anything too massive,
by itself; but with the help o1 all
the progressive men, women and
children, it hopes, in the near ~
.t,lre to secure library, which VIII
rebound to the credit OF Opelousas.
And now with reference to the
literary feature Of the club. For
tae year just beginning we have
taken up the study Of American
literature and the first twelve meet-
ings will be devoted to the poets.
For each meeting there is diner
ent leader. The first meeting at
Miss Dupre's, dealt with the poet
William Cullen Bryant, with MRS.
Will Stewart as leader. In the or
der of our meetings the leader has
a prepared paper and then
round table discussion follows by
the members. Mrs. Stewar after
having read her paper called on
Mrs. Robert to read one of Bryants
short poems entitled summer
Wind" Mrs. Jordon read another OF
his short poems entitled ITO 4
Mosquito" after which the round
table discussion followed which
lasted from 80 to 40 minutes. The
club then adjourned to meet at the
home Of Mrs. E. K Eastman.

TAX IS CARRIED BY
OVERW HELMING VOTE
PROGRESSIVE CITIZENS oPELoUsAs CARRY THE FOR
THE SCHOOLS OF THE oPELoUsAs
SCHOOL TUESDAY

/ The progressive citizens of Ope-
lousas eyinced considerable interest
in the maintenance tax election,
on Tuesday, and consequently
easily secured the passage OF this
splendid and important measure,
the tax beig adopted by an over
fWhelming majority. The votes were
I $40 for and So against, and S6fi 900
for and s362,590 against.
The opponents of the tax felt SO
positive that they had the day won,
when early on Tuesday morning,
they were several thousand dollars
ahead, but the lady members of the
tax campaign committee got busy
and in a few minutes the tax advo-
Gators We're in the lead by over one
hundred thousand dollars in valua-
ton.
The feature 0 the election day
was the parade by the school chill
dren, over five hundred marching
around the court house square a
while after the polls were open,
singing We Want Your Vote" The
parade made a striking impression
on the taxpayers, several, who had
come to- vote against the mesaure,
being persuaded to change their
minds, while few went away with
out voting, rather than cast their
lot against the children of 0peleu-
sas School District.
The fact that the tax carried by
such an overwhelming majority
shows that the people of Opelousas
are up-to-the-minute and as pro-
gressiye as citizens of all other
cities, which faced the same condi-
ton of affairs. There was such a
rush all morning Tuesday, that the
commissioners were not given time
to breathe, the record of the vote
to the minute being kept up until
almost noon.
a large number of country peo-
pie, in fact the great majority Of
the taxpayers residing outside the
city limits, came into town on Tues
day, and contrary to the expecta-
ton of those who have been against
improvement taxation, cast their
ballot in favor of the school, thus
showing that the rural districts are
as anxious to secure good schools
as are the towns.
When the fight for the mainte-
nance tax was first started large
number of taxpayers thought that
the tax was defeated before it was

ST MARTINS GIRLS ARE
DEFEATED BY LOCALS
Opelousas Girls Basket Ball Team
Is Easily the Winner at
Saturdays Contest

The Opelousas girls basket ball
team defeated the st. Martinville
team on last Saturday by the over
whelming score of 80 to 22. The
local girls virtually played ring
around roses with the visitors and
treated them shamefuliy in the
way Of scores.
After the game the visitors were
treated royalty by the Opelousas
girls, dance being given in the
dining hall of the LaCombe Hotel,
which was very much enjoyed by
the fair damsels from ST. Martin
vile.
The Opelousas team has been
playing sensational ball this season,
being defeated but once and that
time by the Baton Rouge team,
which had previously been unmer-
cifully swamped by the Opelousas
team; the Baton Rouge girls de-
feated 0pelousas, due to the fact
that the members of the local team
were fatigued after riding on the
early morning Frisco train.
An interesting game Of basket
ball will take place at. Washington
this afternoon, opeiousas and
Washington contesting for the hon
ors Of the parish, the Opelousas
girls as the favorites.
