HONE PROSPERITY.

During our late visit to the Crescent
City We discovered. With pleasure.
that some Of her best and mOst enter
prising citizens have at last awoke
up to tho material benefit Of beauti.
flying her surroundings. Their enter.
prize has been rewarded 10 an emil
nent degree. They are not only hen
citing themselves, but adding largely
to the wealth Of their fellow. citizens.
In the company OF an intelligent gen.
,leman. who has been 10 the habit for
years Of spending his summers at
Northern watering places, We visited
Spanish Fort and the West End. aud
our friend assured ls that the beauty
OF its attractions not only equaled.
but surpassed, those Of Cony Island
and other places OF fashionable resort
which he had visited. Nor will they
stop at this. They design connecting
the entire Lake Shore by rail. 80 tina:
visitor can travel from one point to
the other. and enjoy every variety Of
amusement. AZ we'll IA good bathing.
at q trifiing cost. BY this means Il .
thousands upon thousands that have
been annually spent ut Northern
watering places will remain at home.
Can not We arouse our fellow. cite
zens to some such improvement :
Our climate Ia genial and healthy ;
our city We regard as only second to
one In the State: her records arc em.
blazened on the Mich Of fame. where
few others can gain an entrance.
The writer Of this has become one OF
her citizens, and IL thoroughly identl.
fed With her interests. and when the
Col Of all consigns him to bis last
resting place bis proudest epitaph
will be. that he done bis duty to biz
fellow. man and labored earnestly fol
the benefit OF Natchitoches.
With this preface. We beg leave ia
suggest that q park. or garden. be
constructed on tho bill. a short dis
tsuce from town. where gentlemen
could 20 at their leisure and spend q
pleasant hour. An enterprising citi
zen embarking 10 this enterprise
could issue, say one hundred tickets
at ten dollars each. payable In id
vance. This would give him start
and enable him to decorate. Th'
subscribers, Of course. would loe|
nothing. but simply pay 10 advance
for future pleasure. The gentlemen
subscribing would geo that order ant
decoram was observed.
Again, Sibley's Lake should receiv'
} some attention. and be made attract
, i've. We should also have NOR
lamps. Alamp, We understand. cost
only ten dollars. and our efficient an
! energeti, Mayor. Willis Holmes
agrees to have them lit. "The dar
November days. the saddest OF tn
year." are approaching. and We wan
, light to guide us to our homes. Le
: our citizens put their heads together
! and erect them. The enterprise vi
: pay In the future.
}. BY this means our town will b
: made attractive and enjoyable.
: Our brass band should also be hell
