TIE Police Jury.

MONTGOMERY, La, Jan. 10, '7s.
Editor Chronicle
/ see the Police Jury met last
Monday and did considerable bust
ness in the way of legislation for
the good of our parish. Now, as I
am an old citizen, l will take the
liberty of giving my views as re-.
CARDS the seven members compris-
ing said Jury. 1 am intimately ac-
quainted with all of them, and
know them to be true and tried
men; and they will compare ia
vorably with any police jury in
north Louisiana. I am satisfied
they try to do the very best they
can, and if they have erred in the
past it was not intentional. rome
of our best citizens at one time
were disposed to complain, and
may have said more than they in
tended. If they want them to give
satisfaction, let them be on hand at
their meetings and give them their
aid and counsel, and, my word for
lit, they will do and perform any
act that will be of service to the
whole people. That they are true
to the interest of our parish they
proved bv various acts passed by
them on last monday, one pf them
being a request to the Legislature
not to attempt, by any act, to abol-
ish the parish of Grant. which was
passed unanimously. They also
repealed an act passed by them
last year, requesting the Legisla
ture to remove the parish seat to
the hills, six miles east OF Coifax
They also fully authorized the Hon
Il. Ii. Randolph, our Represents.
tive, to confer with the owners oi
the lands around Colfax, ilr order
to purchase, Or get said owners tt
sell to any person or persons VINO
desire to locate ut Colfax.
The parish is low the owner o.
+ one acre OF land, which is ample
, for building court house and jail
|, and various persons have valid tai
3 titles to about eight acres, whicI
now secures the parish seat at thu
: mouth Of Caue river, whether W.
: get any more land or not Th'
5 day il not far distant when an,
I amount of land eau be bought Ii
S and around Colfax for build!n;
l purposes, and then our "renowne'
I town" will grow so fast aud becom
80 populous that it Will be envie'
by our neighboriny towns. / sa.
never abolish Graut parish, or IT
move its parish seat. LII 80, ali Il,
blood that WAS shed by her mobiles
SONS in defending the rights ali
liberties of our parish and tow
will have been split in vain. M
the people never will consent t
the aboiishing of our parish al
