Muddy Streets.

Last winter Mr.. Richard Mclean
took charge OF the street department
OF our city and the result was that
Natchitoches had no such complaint
a. Is now entered ->almost impossible
streets. Mr., McLean's success was
founded upon his knowledge OF such
matters. He understood the theory
and practice OF drainage thoroughly
We would suggest that Mr.. Mclean
be employed to repair our streets
permanently. Near the town there
are large quantities Of rock suitable
for paving, which will cost but little
more than quarrying and hauling,
and our principal thoroughfares
should be treated with q permanent
remedy OF that sort at once. It is
true the immediate cost would be
considerable. but 1t will he nuch
cheaper in the end. We outlay two
or three thousand dollars per
year on these streets while double
the sum at once applied will save US
in the course OF time ten thousand
dollars. a =
Let Mr.. Mclean have the job and
our word for II there wilt be no more
complaint Of muddy streets for years
to come.

Let All Pay Alike.

The merchants Of this city have
been called upon 20 subscribe for
every improvement demanded OF the
town and they have done 80 literally.
They complain, however, and justly.
that some OF this burden OF road con-
struction, free ferries and bridge
building should be borne by the
property owners OF the town. 1t does
seem that it is time this class should
wake up. Natchitoches Ia about to
stop that march she commenced last
spring. Her cotton business has
fallen eff greatly and unless some-
thing ia done to attract trade, and at
once, the railroad will not find us.

Our Trunies.

The notoriety given to the Match.
toches Truftle, through the columns
Of the VINDlCAToR and the New Or.

Gus letters from many parts Of the
State relative to their cultivation, etc.

had classed It as the Indian bread.
In this they are mistaken for the

known as the common or black Trui.

some localities In the old world. The
black Tluftle is subterranian, FOUND
often at the depth OF a foot or more
In the soil, while the white gro,cs
half atore the ground. is Of q whitish
red color and Of all sizes one brought
to this Office last September weighing
seven ounces. The French settlers
here recognize the white Truffle OF
Natchitoches as vastly superior In

when dried and then for aavoring.
while our Truhles are most delicious
when fresh and dressed With oil and
pepper. During September and Octo-
Der Of this year the restaurant and
hotel tables Of our town we're graced
daily with the fresh gathered trutfie

The Truf1le is found mostly upon
the banks Of Cane river, among the
bitter weed. where the growth Of
