Death of Jean Nargassans.

Jean Nargassans, one Of the oldest
and most highly respected citizens
of New River, and father Of Police
Juror G. J. Nargasans of the sew.
enth ward, died at his home at st.
Amant, few days. ago, at the ad-
vanced age of 70 years. Deaceased
was a native of France but resided in
this parish the greater part of his
life. The funeral took place at St.
Amant, with services at the Catholic
churchand interment in the Catho.
lie cemetery. His wife, who was
Miss Amelie Latapie, preceded him
to the grave several years. He was
a pioneer settler of St.. Amant, and
for years conducted general mer-
chandise store at that place prior
to the advent of the railroad through
that section, which made it neces-
sary for him to haul his merchandise
in wagons and carts from the depot
at Giesmar, distance of many miles.
Owing to the failing of health he
gave up the store business several
years ago and engaged in general
farming with his son, which occu-
patton he followed to the time of
his death. He was a staunch Catho-
lie. a man of quiet and gentle dis
position and very charitable. He was
loved by all who knew him. He is
survived by an only son, Police Juror
G. J. Nargassans. To him the Chief
tenders deep sympathy in his great
bereavement.

STUBS AND GILBERT.

Reports from all sections of the
state indicate that Col. Frank T.
Stubbs, candidate fer governor, and
Judge Philip H. Gilbert, for lieuten-
ant governor, are gaining in popu-.
larity and strength every day. They
have addressed several large gather
ings of people in different sections of
the commonwealth recently, and
wherever they have appeared they
have been well received by the best
people, and have made a most fa-
vorable impression by their clear
and forceful exposition Of the issues
of the campaign. Both men are able
and fluent speakers, with exception
ally fine records, and whenever they
face an audience they speak with
earnestness and conviction which
carry weight and go to the. very
hearts of their hearers. ;5-,5..
The efforts on the part of his po-
titical enemies to belittle the military
record of Col Stubbs, have fallen
fiat. The patriotic people of Louis
lana do not take kindly to ridicule,
when it is aimed at its sons, who in
times of great emergency have shown
their willingness and readiness to
make the supreme sacrifice for their
country Nor has the attack on
Judge Philip H. Gilbert's political
record, made some time ago by his
opponent, and greatly magnifed by
,ne Of the New Orleans newspapers,
brought forth the results expected
Judge Gilbert's clear and digniied
answer and explsnation has been ac-
|cepted as final by all fair minded.
people who may be depended upon
Ito pay no attention to any further
attacks of this characer which might
be brought into the campaign.
With the city Of New Orleans over
whelmingly in favor Of Stubs and
Gilbert and the people of the coun-
try parishes rallying to their stand
ard in ever increasing numbers
everyday, it is safe to predict that the.
endorsement which these two stall
wart Democrats and splendid sons
of great state will receive on .elec-
ton day will confound their enemies
and surpass even the fondest expec-
tations Of their enthusiastic friends.

CIGAR FACTORY ASSURED.
Temporary Quarters Secured-Will
Begin Business Dec. IS.

AS result of the efforts of GER
tain public spirited citizens. 4 of Don
,aldsonvi1le working through the me
dunn of the Chamber Of Commerce,
the firm Of Phil. D. Mayer & Son.
Ltd, of New Orleans, have decided
to establish branch of their cigar
factory in this, city, letters to this
effect having been received by Mayor
E. X. Sims and the Chamber Of Com
merce Thursday. - /.
The branch factory will tempo.
rarily occupy the Ascension Hook
and Ladder Hall which was offer
ed to the cigar manufacturers by the
commission council. free of rent for
the period Of one year. BY the end
of that time or sooner, it is expected
that a new building suitable for the
purpose will be erected for the per-
manent home of the factory.
1t is the intention of the owners
of this enterprise to commence op-
erations about December Is. Some
twelve or fifteen girls will be taken
in hand and trained in the work of
making cigars, and later another
bunch until some $50 workers are
steadily employed. Small wages will
be paid during the training period
after which all will go on piece work.
This factory is the entering wedge.
1t will attract attention to the ad-
vantages offered by Donaldsonvil1e
as manufacturing and industrial
center and with the proper effort on
the part of our. business interests it
should lead to other and greater
things.
Phil D. Mayer, senior member Of
the firm of Mayer & Son, Ltd, was
in town yesterday for a few hours

Sugar Extraction Small.

Reports from some Of the sugar
factories in this section which are
N operation. are to the effect that
the sugar extraction from the cane
is exceedingly small this season,
being as low as 65 pounds to the ton,
as compared to usual average Of
125 pounds. The cane is said to be
green and very hard, making the
grinding operation difficult and slow,
Ind on some plantations it is 50 short
that It cannot be handled by the
grabbers of the cane leaders. The be-
lief is expressed that the cold wealth
er will ripen and considerably i'm
prove the cane. 1t is very much to
be hoped that this will prove true,
since with the present small extrac-
aon the factories are threatened
with loss, Notwithstanding the pre-
vailing high price Of sugar.
