/ suppose the police jury will soon
lie called together for the purpose OF
ordering an election to locate, by
majority vote of the citizens OF the
parish, a place for a parish site. Tins
is matter that should be well con-
sidered before we cast our votes, as
when located by our votes it is hnaL
1t will involve the parish about four
thousand dollars in debt. We ha e
already tax of ten mills to pay. and
tie parish cannot be run on any less.
TO build the necessary public build
ines we must incnr a debt OF some
$1,000, " hich will have to be raised
by a special tax, in excess Of the ten
mills which will be required for run
ming expenses. / fear this burden
will make The good people of our
parish wear longer faces than ever

hand to have things legally done,
and last, but not least by far, the me-
chanics will gather to give life and
\ cheerfulness to the place with sound
of hammer and chisel and other i'm
plements of industry.
Now, the next thing to be consld-
cred is, what will the land holders OF
the different places do for the parish
in the way OF lands and money to
build the court house and jailP they
| win get it all back again in a few
years with large interest Let us
bear from them through the Colfax

and the place that win give the most
in money and accommodation should
be the one chosen. / am willing to
