election, which takes place on next
Tuesday, February "a, for the pur-
pose Of selecting third democratic

tween j. Franklin sehell Of Wash
ington and James ] Lewis Of Eu-

candidates running for three places
lacking but thirty-odd votes Of get
ting clear majority. Mr. Lewis was
fourth, being some two hundred-odd
votes behind the Washington citizen
The race for member Of the police
jury in the sixth ward promises to be
interesting, it being waged between
w. G. Deiean Of Plaquemine Point
and Peter Brown Of Faquetaique.
The friends Of the two candidates
for the legislature have been endeav-
oring to interest the voters to GO to
the polls on the day Of the election,
and while it is conceded that the vote
on February "a win be many hum
dreds short of that east on January

nent organization Of the poss win

gion.
Not only Opelousas ex-service men

meeting, but men from every section

JONES RESIGNS AS
HEAD LIGHT PLANT
Sewers Connection With Muni-
cipaI Power House to AS
sumo Another Position


A. G. Jones, superintendent Of the
electric light and water plant, hand
ed in his resignation to Mayor Mike
Halphen or last Monday morning and
will sever his connection with the
city plant on March / to assume
charge of the construction depart-
ment Of the j. B. McCrary Construc-
tion Company Of Atlanta, Georgia.
Mr.. Jones viii go to North Carolina
to assume his new duties, when he
leaves here next month.
The retiring superintendent has
been in this city for number Of
years. At the time he assumed charge
Of the power plant 0pelousas had
very poor service and the plant was
considered a debit rather than cred
it. By strict adherence to duty and
constant watchufulness and perse-
verance, Mr.. Jones, with the assist
ance Of competent and progressive,
wide-awake city lawmakers, was able
to build the plant into one of the
finest and most up-to-date for a city
of the size Of Opelousas, in Louisi-
ana. While the plant is not as eff
cient as it was a few years back, it
is said that it is not the fault Of Mr..
Jones nor the city administration,
since the city has grown to such an
extent in the past two years as to
need much larger plant. In fact.
the city authorities, acting on the
Recommendation Of Superintendent
Jones, placed an order for a number
of needed pieces of machinery in or
der to put the plant on a more eff
cient basis.
Mr.. Jones leaves Opelousas with the
best wishes Of his many friends and
as he viii be connected with one Of
the largest construction engineering
firms in the South, it is believed that
he win soon make an enviabIe mark
for himself.

DON'T LET EN-
MISS YOUR NAME
Census Enumerators Might Pass
You Up, So be Prepared to
Report to Headquarters

Census enumerators have been
busy throughout st. Landry parish
since the beginning Of january. They
have canvassed the city Of Opelousas
and it is said win shortly be prepared
to make their final report.
It is impossible for the enumerators
to count every inhabitant Of this city
and parish without the cooperation Of
the people-it is evident that some
will be missed in the attempt to count
noses in OpeIousas as well as in the
rural districts.
Now, w. Alex Robertson, superyis-
or for this congressional district, says
the propert thing to do in the event
anyone has not been counted, is to
report the fact to him or his assist
ant, Isaac Litton, in the postoffice
building.
It is necessary that Opelousas
make a splendid showing IN the 1890
census Every public spirited citizen
is interested IA boosting the popula-
tion Of this city, and ii the event any
one has been missed in the count, they
should lose no time in seeing that
their names are enrolled on the emu
merators' list Of citizens.
Help Opelousas grow BY reporting
all missing citizens to the enumer-
ator. Do not delay, the work will be
completed shortly and the public
spirited citizens want Opelousas to
show population of at least seven
thousand people.

The district comprises large por-
tion 81 the third and fourth wards,
extending from NotIeyville to the ST.
Martin parish line. It was organized
ii October, but the commissioners
were delayed in their preliminary
work on account Of district being

Landry, who reside on the border,
that the work would be continued
The members Of the board, who are

that section Of St. Landry is in sore

MANY MORE TO

Mendoza Being Flooded With
Inquiries About AgricuItu-
raj Tour Through West

According to the present outlook,
St. Landry is going to send a train
load of Representative citizens and
farm youths on the Louisiana Special
through the middle western states.
A. A. Mendoza, federal farm dem
onstrator, who has charge Of St.
Landry's end Of the agricultural ex-
pedition, continues to receive inquir-
les from various sections Of the par
ish concerning. the proposed trip.
Many Of St. Landry's leading farm
ers, envious Of the wonderful strides
being made BY the boys in agricul-
ture of late years, have decided to
take the trip and learn few things
about modern methods ii the pro-
gressive and prosperous agricultural
states Of the middle West.
st. Landry viii send at the expense
Of the public at least ten boys;
many young men viii be seht by their
parents, some by public spirited citi-
zens, and then there are a goodly
crowd of real, sure-enough farmers
who have notified Mr.. Mendoza that
they viii make the trip. Reservations
should be made many weeks ahead Of
time, so Mr.. Mendoza suggests that
all who have any intention of going
along in August with the St. Landry
delegation should lose no time in mo-
tifying him SO that he can make res
ervations. A good time is IN store
for all who 60, and many things Of in
terest will be learned on the trip.
The agricultural colleges of the
nlidle West will be taken in, the
farm show at Chicago win be one Of
the features, and those who take the
trip are assured that the $50 they
win spend for the trip win be the
best investments they have made ii

SO it is up to those who would ike
to take trip, which win cost very
little and which viii be Of vast bene-
