I'd ask the librarians at the Rapides Parish Library (http://www.rpl.org) what they know. The old Alexandria papers (the old Weekly Town Talk, and the Alexandria Daily Town Talk) are on microfilm at the main branch of the Rapides Parish Library on Washington Street downtown. The Town Talk is online at http://www.thetowntalk.com/ I don't know much about the Bunkie Record, but I have this webpage bookmarked http://www.geocities.com/bunkierecord/ I'm not sure if it's their official webpage, but it's the only one I've seen. Another close newspaper to Bunkie is the Opelousas Daily World at http://www.dailyworld.com/ I know these web pages won't help with reading old newspapers, but at least they have the contact information to find out more.
