A section of earth measuring approx
imately 350 feet long at its outer edge
by about 100 feet wide gave way with
out warning and slid into the river,
leaving barely 100 feet of batture be
tween the levee and the water.
Hon. Chas. Maurin, Donaldson
ville's popular and efficient mayor, is
a candidate for member of the Demo
cratic state central committee from the
parish of Ascension, and his many
friends and political supporters are
confident that he will be chosen as his
party's nominee for the position. Mr.
Maurin is a staunch Democrat, a ca
pable business man and a progressive
citizen, and his qualifications for the
office to which he aspires are gener
ally recognized and endorsed.
While en route to his home in Fau
bourg la Pipe last Saturday evening,
Chas. Jambois, the industrious young
son of Widow Chas. Jambois, had the
misfortune to stumble and fall heavily
to the ground, breaking his right arm
just above the wrist. The accident
occurred a short distance below town
and was due in large measure to the
rough condition of the public road,
caused by the building of a new levee.
Dr. E. K. Sims was summoned and set
the broken bones, and at last accounts
the unfortunate young man was doing
as well as could be expected.
