in New Orleans. Mr.. Broussard
is said to be regaining his health

qualification to his friends
throughout Louisiana. He is ex-
pected home today.
Invitations are issued to the
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Nick
Graliano of the wedding on We'd

On Friday evening last the
little cottage of Mr.. Roy Morris
on lower Main Street was totally
destroyed by fire. The house was
occupied by Mr.. G. H. johnson,
an employee of the Southwestern
Traction Company. The fire took
from the interior when members
Of the family were absent and be-
fore the flames were discovered
it was utterly impossible to save
any Of its contents.
| Mr.. Robert A. Bernard of this
City and Miss Barbara Gall. a
daughter Of the late Mr.. Sylvanus

at Jeanerette in the presence Of
friends. After the nuptials, the

days before returning to their

The War Exemption Board,
consisting of Coroner Fulton,
Sheriff Landry and Clerk of
Court Gonsoulin has been busily
engaged the past two days exam
lining the conscripted young men
whose names appear in another
column for service in the United
States Army. Yesterday some
seventy-fve were examined and
some thirteen have already been
discharged on account of physi-
lcal inability to serve. To-day
the Board will likely reject
another batch. In that event
another call may probably be
made. Those discharged yester-
day were as follows: Daniel
Landry, Herbert Spencer, Jules
IBroussard, James Lee Stansbury,
Robert Romero, Wallace Decuir,
IR. j. Labauve, Wilfred Landry,
Desire Miguez, Jerry Lewis, Ed

/ There is considerable COM
plant on the part of the resi-
dents living ON the opposite side
of the Bayou to the Village OF
Loreauville to the action of the
Police Jury not repairing the pub
lie bridge spanning the Teche al
that point. 1t will be remem-
bered some time since the Police
Jury consented to defray half the
expense Of the bridge repair,
providing the Corporation of Lo
reauville raise the other half and
maintain it henceforth. A prop
osition was submitted calling fol
a small tax and it was defeated
Since then the bridge was closed
from the public and the residents
who have to do business at Lo.
reauville cannot cross the Teche
to send their children to school
or anything else for that matter
Since it is compulsory to send all
children to school under the State
law. it seems provision should al
once be made to either reopen
the bridge or equipt free schools
for the children on the west bank
Iof Loreauyille. This being the
ease the council Of Loreauville
