The enterprising citizens of Caren- cro have just had printed zooo hanging directories of their town. The cards of all the business men of that progressive place appear on it. This shows a public spirit that should be emulated by more pre- tentious towns. The Gazette's thanks are due to H. H. Solomon, of New Orleans, for a copy of his annual directory of the cotton, sugar and rice planters of this State. It is a book of 225 pages and is very.well gotten up. Dr. G. A.

They were in Lafayette on a little busi- ness and remained only a few hours. We are under obligations to them *or highly appreciated favors. The many friends of Judge Alex. Meatux, of the second ward, were pained to learn of the death of his son, Gaston, who died Saturday, April 28, at the age of 2x years and 8 months. The mortal remains of the young man were buried Sunday evening in the Catholic cemletery in this town. A batchelor living in the town of Lafayette requests The Gazette to State that he is seriously comtem- plating matrimony. He says he trould like to correspond with the right girl, one who is passably pretty and not too protd to work. He says he is not rich, but is suffi- Eiently well provided with this world's goods to support an econ- bntical wife and a reasonable num- ber of children. Address: ,,Z, care •the Gazette." A Run AVway. Last Tuesday afternoon Messrs. - &dvarti l'cllerin. F. ()lto andl l';iih Pefferkorn were returning from a fishing party when the horse hitched to their buggy took fright and started at a terrific speed. The three gen- tlemen were precipitated to the ground, but fortunately without receiving any serious injuries. The horse continued his mad race, passed in front of the court house going in the direction of the convent. When Judge Debaillon's office was reached the buggy collided against a stump and was broken into several pieces. The horse was found a few minutes later in the outskirts of the town and, strange totsay, he did not receive a scratch. Lacour--Couvillon. Monday morning at io o'clock, at the St. John's Catholic church, the Rev. Father Forge united in marriage Miss Josephine Couvillon and Mr. Louis E. Lacour. Both are residents of Lafayette, the bride being the daughter of Mr. J. C. Couvillon and the groom a popular young man and member of one of the oldest and best Creole families of Avoyelles parish. A large num- ber of friends had gathered at the church to witness the nuptial cere- monies. A lovely bevy of convent girls, schoolmates of the fair bride, were present and lent charm to the occasion. At the appointed hour the bridal party arrived. The bride, becomingly gowned in cashmere cream, was led to the altar by her brother, Mr. Leon Couvillon. Then came the groom, and with his groomsmen, Messrs. Edgar and Pierre Lacour, marched to the altar, where they met the bride and brides- maids, Misses Anna Couvillon and Julia Lacour, both daintly dressed. Father Forge performed the simple and impressive marriage ceremony of the Catholic church, which united the young couple for life. After the ceremony, the party, consisting of relatives and friends of the family repaired to the bride's home, where a bounteous dinner wasspread. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Hilaire Lacour and Messrs. Edgard and Pierre l.acour, of New Iberia; Mr. and Mrs. G. O. Cou- villon and Miss Aline Couvillon, Mr. and Mrs. Leon Couvillon, and Masters Leo and Estine Couvillon, of Carencro; Mr. and Mrs. Terville Landry of New Iberia; Misses Pauline, Edmondia and Adrienne Landry,of Lafayette: Me]ssr.s. Pierre and Henry Gerac and Lucien Lan- dry, of Lafayette; Mr. Rene Comcau, New Iberia, and Mr. and Mfrs. F. A. Guilbeau, of Carencro. Mr. and Mrs. Lacour will rc•lde at the home of Mr. J. C. Couvillun in Lafayette. A Pretty Home. Iast Monday morning The Ga- sette scribe paid a visit to the future home of Mr. Walter J. Mouton, situated in the south-western portion of this town. When the improve- ments on the house and in the yards are complleted, Walter will have one of the prettiest homes in Lafayette. The remodeling of the building and addition of the turrets and baywindows are the work of the competent carpenters, Sarrazin Broussard and his son, John. The front door is strikingly elegant and neat and speaks highly of the skill and taste of that artistic workman, Mr. Numa Broussard. To say that the papering and painting are equally well done it is only necessary to mention the fact that the veteran painter, H. A. Eastin, is attending to that part of the work. The Gazette congratulates its young friend on his lovely home and ex- presses the hope that he will find in It much happiness and prosperity. A Charming Dance. A charming social event this week was the complimentary dance at Falk's Opera H-ouse, given by a number of the young gentlemen of Lafayette. Nothinmg had been spared to make this affair an enjoyable one, atnd the managers are to he congratulated on the perfect success of their entertainment, which was one of the most brilliant ever given in Lafayette. Tile music, wh'ich was furnished by the Breaux Bridge Band, was splendid, the rcfreshments were delicious, and nothing marred the Fleasure of the occasion. Dancitng was kept up until a late hour, when all left bearing away with them the sweetest memories of a most delightful time. Those present were: Misses Mattie, Jennie and Sallie Torinn, Zerelda and Nellie Bailey, Genevieve Salles, Lea Gladu, MIary Toms, Louisq Givens, Mary Gleony, Ma•d Young, Clye Mudd, Octavie and Louise Cayret, Isaure Guidry, Stella and Haydee Trahan, Mrs. C. K. Darling; Messrs. Edwin and John Givens, Jack Nickerson, J. J. Davidson, Baxter Clegg, Dr. A. R~. Trahan, Leo Judrlice, Walter To- rian, Walter Mouton, L. A. LeRlosen C. 3. Porch, George Guidry, Florian Cornay, Dr. James Mary, Rodolphe Domengeaus, Joe LeBlanc, Rodolphe Roy, Alb. Mouchet, William Campbell, Dr. Fred Mayer, Paul Bailey. A Good Advertisement. . The lovliest spots in Lafayette are Father Forge's flower garden and Mr Hahrn's at the Cresent News. Passengers on board the trains never fail to adnmire the \ariots hcbautifull flowcr.s in the" Cresent News garden. A gentle- man truthfully reijaarked the other day 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 this section. Where it is. A Subscriber: Please decide the follow- ing: A bets B that there is no such railroad as the Teche Railroad Company in Louis- iana in the neighborhdnd of Abbeville. If there is, please let us know if it is finished and where does it begin and finish? There is no railroad called ,"Teche Rail- road." The road you mean is "'The Salt Mine Branch and Iberia and Vermillion Railroad." Is twenty-one miles long and runs from New Iberia to Abbeville. The above was taken from the column of "Questions and Answers" in Monday's Times-Democrat. The T. D. is mistken. There is a railroad called " the Teche Rail- road;" it runs from Carencro, in this parish, to the i~uron plantation in the parish of St. Martin. A Proiest. A special from Abbeville to the Times-Democrat of last Wednesday says: The police jury d6 this (Verml- ion) parish, held a meeting here to- day and passed a risolutionprotest- ing against the actiin of the police jury commissioners in assessing railroads, telephone and telegraph lines which meetinig was held at Lafayette. The region given for the protest is that Velmilion parish's commissioner was not notified of the place of meeting, and that the meeting was not held on the line of the I. and V. Railroad. The M. D's Meet. Drs. J. D. and A. R. Trahan,of this place, and Lessly and Francez, of Carencrot attended the meeting of the Attakapas Medical Association held \Vednesda-' at New Iberia. Dr. Sabatier of New Ibehria, was elected president to sueceed Dr. Trahan whose term has expired. Dr. Le ;sly was elected vice-president: The Gazet e learns that the meeting was a very harm•o'ious and successful affair. It was one of the most instructive and interesting meetings ever held since the organization of the association. Ice ! Ice ! Messrs. Harnisch & Pefferkorn have opened the ice depot opposite Mr. Pellerin's store where they will handle ice manufactured by the Opelousas Ice and 1ottling Works. If you desire, Ice will be decvered at your domicile two or thref: times a day. Orders left with the above named gentleman at their depot will be promptly attended to. Nor a Candidate. It was reported that State Senator Avery from this di:strict, hlau- gone to Washington where he had been called by President Clevela.el, who would p 1 robably appoint hi n post- master at New Orl.,ans. Mr. Avery returned from Washington this week. He said to a reporter that lie went to the capital in the interest of sugar and that he is not a candidlate for any Federal ofiice. He will continme to represent this district in the State Senate, More Rixe Mills. One of the busiest places in town is the rice mill; it runs continually, milling daily a large quantity of rice of a superior quality. Mr. Le- Danois, the propl for and manager, is a gentleman of fine business ability and the prosperous condition of the mill is due to his able mana- gem.ent. Although this is the first entc:rprise of the kind started in Lafayette, there was no difficulty in secu ring a sufficien" quantity of rice to keep the mill in operation all the time. The Gazette believes that two more rice mills in Lafayette would not be too many. People having money to invest can not find a b ctter opportunity. The western portion of this parish is a splendid rice country and is not far from the town, which would be a great in- due-:cment to farriers to sell their rice here, instead of shipping it to fo -eign markets, w.hich is very often aconompanied by great losses and dclays. If we can not get a refinery, let; us try and b!sild a rice mill. Tiiere is enough capital here to do it. The only thing lacking is enter- prise. A little push and energy, les s bickering and more pulling- togpether, are the first steps and then the: enterplrise w-v developl itself.

To the Editor of the Lafayette G;azette: 1Ve have had competition in dry goods:, groceries, meat, bread and other necessaries of li.fe, and the peolple of Lafayet'te hav'e been bene- fited t-ereby, but I fear that this spirit of competitiol, or rather the gras:'ag proclivit s of 5)me enter- pris-#•(!) peopl ard .r'oing more har~l than good. '4: th.,' poor ne•4C~by, who ig s't•iii'j4 v:"• the is told that he must reduce his priie or offer premums, or else he will be swallowed up and deposited in the voracious maw of the mono- polist. COXEYITE, Lopez Shdots a Man. The following account of the shooting of Romelo near Cade is taken from the Daily Iberian. Lopez, who did the shooting, is known in Lafayette, having worked here as a barber.. Those who know him say that he was a well behaved young man, and they were sorry to learn of his misfortune. The shooting of Mr. Joseph Romero by Mr. Leopold Lopez Saturday is, of course well known. Not being able to hear anything definite or reliable this morning we, through the kindness of Mr. Sam Pointes, were admitted to the cell where Mr. Lopez is confined. Mr. Lopez, when approached by us, seemed very willing to talk; from him we heard the following: "I don't know how it happened exactly, I being somewhat under the influence of liquor. We were not enemies." He went on to say that he met Mr. Romero and others, he being in a cart having with him a keg of beer, he called the crowd around to join him in a drink, which they all did; after a bit he said, "Let's have another." Mr. Romero re- fused. He (Lopez) then said, "Any man that don't want to drink with me can go to hell. Romero seemed not to like this much atrid told Lo- pez "Don't you say that again." Lopez repeated it. Then, Lopez states, Romero and his brother ad- vanced on him. He could not re- member clearly how the rest hap- pened, but showed his hand, which he states was cut by one of the brothers. Mr. Lopez feels very badly over the accident. He was told that though Mr. Romero was danger- ously wounded it would not prove fatal, he remarked that he hoped that was the case; he had really nothing against the man, and if he was guilty of an offense he was willing to suffer for it. Romero died 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 freak is at San Antonio, being on his way to 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 characteristic of Royvillians, at once compels a guests to feel at home. It is admitted that Royville is the Mecca of Lafayette. -N otwithstanding the financial crisis of the 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 that your correspondent met a highly esteemed old farmer from this vicinity. HIe asked of him, how was it that the farmers were so enthusiastic over the cotton culture, when they knew that the prices were killing ? HIis answer came slowly and quic'ly. Like the immortal Pope, he said: "'Ilope springs eternal in the human breast." WVe are praying and hoping for better times. We still adhere to old ante-bellum customs. We care not for diversion of crops. Cotton is our product and cotton we will raise. As the old gentleman says: let us hope! -Dr. Scranton was called as surgeon, with Drs. Rand and Weis, to the bedside of \Ir. Romero, who was shot by Mr. Lo- pez, of Cade, at a ball last Saturday night. The bullet struck near the 5th rib, sliding 1 and perforating the liver. Mr. Romero died Monday morning. -Mrs. Kelly and Miss Eftie Young, of I.a- fayette, spent MIonday with Dr. Young's family. ~-Mr. P. B. Roy is having an addition made to his already 1i'rge and commctliotis home. Mr. Daly, of New Iberia is the con- tractor. -Mrs. Judice and Miss B. Palmer, of Lafayette, are the guests of Dr. and Mrs. Scranton. -Say, boys! What about organizing a base ball club ? -- Tuesday MIiss Elda Theall was joined into the holy bonds of matrinyn~/ to Mtr. A. Pl'iatt, of l1roussardville. Thle bride is a very charming young lady, the niece of lion. ) I. Theall. The groom is a rising yountg merchant, with a bright future ahead. "To the happy couple we tendler, our best wishes for a long, happy and prosperous wedded life. -The basket picn:e Sulnday laet at Jeffer- son's Island, was one of the most pleasant affairs of tile season. The members of the Glee Club did their utmost to make their guests as comfortablle as possible, and from the various reports, their untiring efforts were certainly crowned with success. Overlook- nlg tise h.h blulfe of that romantic island;, stands to the westward Lake Peigneur, the minature Pontchartrain of South WVest Louisiana, with its billowing waves rising now antl then lake tllousandls of silvery clouds. The lake was a beautiful sight to behold. We blaime not Joseph Jefferson i for:erecting his lovely residence on that islandl. IThe sail boat ride across the lake was an enjoyable one. At 4 o'clock a sunmptuous picnic dinner, with pompous gobblers and "lainty dishes, satislied the aplpetites of the merry particilmnts. A string band was in attendance, anul with the ss•eet music dis- Scoursed, mingled with the merry laughter of Sthe pretty girls, mnade the day one long to be rementlared. Those pre:;sent were: a la.sdames J. Alcintore, J. 1. Moutn i. J. A. lt•.••I ii .- es hiaC- lim-'lit.ons 1.. lief u.i, L. Leblanc, II. Olivier, Emma and Mlartha Mouton, N. Broussard, C.

F. and Wallie Theriot, and J. O. Blanchet. -The Glee Club begged space in our "items" to thank Medanmes Mouton, Alcia- tore and Roy for valuable assistance at the picnic. CHE IOKEE. Lafayette at the Penitentiary. Deputies Thomas Mouton and Albert Del- homme returned Sunday from Baton Rouge, where they had gone to place in the peni- tentiary the prisoners convicted at the last term of court. Mr. Delhommne informed The Gazette that he had occasion to see the white convicts from this parish; he found them all working. Erwin Meaux and Willie Foreman were sewing in the tailoring de- partment. Campbell, who was sent a few years ago for counterfeiting, was also engaged making men's clotlies; he is said to be an ex- pert tailor. Dominique Claverie spends his time ironing. Two Lives Saved. Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City, Ill. was told by her doctors she had Consumption and that there was no hope for her, but two bottles Dr. King's New Discovery completely cured her and she says it saved her life. Mr. Thns. Eggers, 139 Florida St. San Francisco, suffered from a dreadful cold, approaching Consumption, tried without result everything else then bought one bottle of I)r. King's New Discovery and In tw5 weeks was cured. He is naturally thankful. It is such results, of which these are samples, that prove the wonderful efficacy of this medicine in Coughs and Colds.

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

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!
