The remodeling of thebuilding and addition of the turretsand baywindows are the work ofthe competent carpenters, SarrazinBroussard and his son, John. Thefront door is strikingly elegant andneat and speaks highly of the skill andtaste of that artistic workman, Mr.Numa Broussard. To say that thepapering and painting are equallywell done it is only necessary tomention the fact that the veteranpainter, H. A. Eastin, is attendingto that part of the work. TheGazette congratulates its youngfriend on his lovely home and ex-presses the hope that he will find inIt much happiness and prosperity.

A Good Advertisement. .The lovliest spots in Lafayette

are Father Forge's flower gardenand Mr Hahrn's at the CresentNews. Passengers on board thetrains never fail to adnmire the\ariots hcbautifull flowcr.s in the"

Cresent News garden. A gentle-man truthfully reijaarked the otherday that they were a good advertise-ment for this town, as such a pleas-ing sight could not fail to favor-ably impress a stranger with thissection.

Where it is.A Subscriber: Please decide the follow-

ing: A bets B that there is no such railroadas the Teche Railroad Company in Louis-iana in the neighborhdnd of Abbeville. Ifthere is, please let us know if it is finishedand where does it begin and finish?

There is no railroad called ,"Teche Rail-road." The road you mean is "'The SaltMine Branch and Iberia and VermillionRailroad." Is twenty-one miles long andruns from New Iberia to Abbeville.

The above was taken from thecolumn of "Questions and Answers"in Monday's Times-Democrat.The T. D. is mistken. There is arailroad called " the Teche Rail-road;" it runs from Carencro, inthis parish, to the i~uron plantationin the parish of St. Martin.

A Proiest.A special from Abbeville to the

Times-Democrat of last Wednesdaysays:

The police jury d6 this (Verml-ion) parish, held a meeting here to-day and passed a risolutionprotest-ing against the actiin of the policejury commissioners in assessingrailroads, telephone and telegraphlines which meetinig was held atLafayette. The region given for theprotest is that Velmilion parish'scommissioner was not notified ofthe place of meeting, and that themeeting was not held on the line ofthe I. and V. Railroad.

The M. D's Meet.Drs. J. D. and A. R. Trahan,of this place,

and Lessly and Francez, of Carencrotattended the meeting of the AttakapasMedical Association held \Vednesda-' at NewIberia. Dr. Sabatier of New Ibehria, waselected president to sueceed Dr. Trahan

whose term has expired. Dr. Le ;sly was

elected vice-president: The Gazet e learnsthat the meeting was a very harm•o'ious andsuccessful affair. It was one of the mostinstructive and interesting meetings ever heldsince the organization of the association.

Ice ! Ice !Messrs. Harnisch & Pefferkorn

have opened the ice depot oppositeMr. Pellerin's store where they willhandle ice manufactured by theOpelousas Ice and 1ottling Works.If you desire, Ice will be decveredat your domicile two or thref: timesa day. Orders left with the abovenamed gentleman at their depotwill be promptly attended to.

Nor a Candidate.It was reported that State Senator

Avery from this di:strict, hlau- goneto Washington where he had beencalled by President Clevela.el, whowould p1 robably appoint hi n post-master at New Orl.,ans. Mr. Averyreturned from Washington this week.He said to a reporter that lie wentto the capital in the interest of sugarand that he is not a candidlate forany Federal ofiice. He will continmeto represent this district in the StateSenate,

More Rixe Mills.One of the busiest places in town

is the rice mill; it runs continually,milling daily a large quantity of riceof a superior quality. Mr. Le-Danois, the propl for and manager,is a gentleman of fine businessability and the prosperous conditionof the mill is due to his able mana-gem.ent. Although this is the firstentc:rprise of the kind started inLafayette, there was no difficulty insecu ring a sufficien" quantity of riceto keep the mill in operation allthe time. The Gazette believesthat two more rice mills in Lafayettewould not be too many. Peoplehaving money to invest can not finda b ctter opportunity. The westernportion of this parish is a splendidrice country and is not far from thetown, which would be a great in-due-:cment to farriers to sell theirrice here, instead of shipping it tofo -eign markets, w.hich is very oftenaconompanied by great losses anddclays. If we can not get a refinery,let; us try and b!sild a rice mill.Tiiere is enough capital here to doit. The only thing lacking is enter-prise. A little push and energy,les s bickering and more pulling-togpether, are the first steps and thenthe: enterplrise w-v developl itself.

Lopez Shdots a Man.

The following account of theshooting of Romelo near Cade istaken from the Daily Iberian.Lopez, who did the shooting, isknown in Lafayette, having worked

here as a barber.. Those who knowhim say that he was a well behavedyoung man, and they were sorry tolearn of his misfortune.

The shooting of Mr. JosephRomero by Mr. Leopold LopezSaturday is, of course well known.Not being able to hear anythingdefinite or reliable this morning we,through the kindness of Mr. SamPointes, were admitted to the cellwhere Mr. Lopez is confined. Mr.Lopez, when approached by us,seemed very willing to talk; fromhim we heard the following:

"I don't know how it happenedexactly, I being somewhat underthe influence of liquor. We werenot enemies."

He went on to say that he metMr. Romero and others, he beingin a cart having with him a keg ofbeer, he called the crowd aroundto join him in a drink, which theyall did; after a bit he said, "Let'shave another." Mr. Romero re-fused. He (Lopez) then said, "Anyman that don't want to drink withme can go to hell. Romero seemednot to like this much atrid told Lo-pez "Don't you say that again."

Lopez repeated it. Then, Lopezstates, Romero and his brother ad-vanced on him. He could not re-member clearly how the rest hap-pened, but showed his hand, whichhe states was cut by one of thebrothers.

Mr. Lopez feels very badly overthe accident. He was told thatthough Mr. Romero was danger-ously wounded it would not provefatal, he remarked that he hopedthat was the case; he had reallynothing against the man, and if hewas guilty of an offense he waswilling to suffer for it. Romerodied Tuesday.

Bushels of Money.From a letter written by Leotardo,

the bloodless man who visited Lafay-ette some time ago, to Dr. Trahan,we earn that this wonderful freakis at San Antonio, being on his wayto the Mid-winter Fair at San Fran-cisco. He says he is making"bushels of money."

Royville Items.From Our RIegular Corespontdent.

-During the past week our little inland"sea port" has been thronged with visitor;.Theg balmy and isnvigorating gulf breeze,combined with that Thospitality characteristicof Royvillians, at once compels a guests tofeel at home. It is admitted that Royvilleis the Mecca of Lafayette.

-N otwithstanding the financial crisis ofthe country, the migration of the "''hobo co-horts" to WVashington, the low prices o,f the

"'fleecy staple," cotton is being extentsively

planted. It was sonicme day last week thatyour correspondent met a highly esteemedold farmer from this vicinity. HIe askedof him, how was it that the farmers wereso enthusiastic over the cotton culture, whenthey knew that the prices were killing ? HIisanswer came slowly and quic'ly. Like theimmortal Pope, he said:"'Ilope springs eternal in the human breast."

WVe are praying and hoping for bettertimes. We still adhere to old ante-bellumcustoms. We care not for diversion ofcrops. Cotton is our product and cotton wewill raise. As the old gentleman says: letus hope!

-Dr. Scranton was called as surgeon,with Drs. Rand and Weis, to the bedsideof \Ir. Romero, who was shot by Mr. Lo-

pez, of Cade, at a ball last Saturday night.The bullet struck near the 5th rib, sliding1 and perforating the liver. Mr. Romero died
