J. S. MOUTON, LAFAYETTE.--J. S. Mouton was born in Lafayette parish,
Louisiana, 1835.  He was an active participant in the late Civil War, having
enlisted in the Confederate army in 1861, on Gen. Mouton's staff.  He served
during the whole of the war.  Mr. Mouton has a good plantation, where he
resides, consisting of about two hundred acres of land, and devotes himself
entirely to its cultivation.  As a planter he has been successful, and few
plantations of this section are better conducted than his. Mr. Mouton married
in 1852 Miss Odeida, daughter of ex-Governor Alexander Mouton.  They are the
parents of nine children, six sons and three daughters.
