4 correspondent Of the New York

A correspondent Of the New York
Herald writing from Atlanta, Ga,
under date Of July gath, says;
There has been subscribed in the
North and in Europe in the past
eighteen months 100000, 900 for in
vestment in the South This state
ment sounds marvellous, and yet It
can be easily shown to be true.
Your correspondent premises the
discussion Of the matter by remark
ing that in this estimate none Of the
vast sums invested in the Southwest
are included lie means to say that
this enormous sum Of money covers
Investments and Developments only
in that part Of the South east of the
Mississippi river and south Of Rich
mond OF course the largest sums
have been subscribed for the pur-
chase and building Of railroad lines.
The effect Of this has been to i'm
prove the roads already built and 10
develop new sections Of the country,
thus starting new currents of trade
and quckening old ones, and to take
from Southern hands at advanced
prices large amounts Of railroad
stocks.

OuR LAKE.-We venture to assert
that scarcely any of our citizens appre-
ciate the beauties of our lake on a
calm spring morning, at early dawn.
There is charm in standing at the
foot of one of our wharves and con-
templating the placid sheet of water
before us. There we find Nature,
in her beauty and grandeur. Occa-
sionally fish breaks the calm surface
by leaping above it. We stand and
watch the little crafts around and
opposite us--a football breaks the
charm. Here comes a fisherman with
his rod and line, in pursuit of pleasure
and-breakfast. We cast our eyes up
and down the calm sheet of water, and
note the parti-colored lights still burn
ing on the small vessels that ply be-
tween this and various other ports.
And now along the lake and down to
the rivers turn we discover the smoke
issuing from the chinneys of the diff
erent mills, indicating the approach
of labor. The business of the day
has commenced, and we awaken to the
reality that we are in the midst of a
busting, active commerce that will
soon make Lake Charles the cntrepot
for thousands of people.

Our visit to the different saw mills
and shipyards below town, convinced
lis Of the thrift aud enterprise in that
direction. We found the shipyards
booming with work, repairing and
building vessels. The saw mills were
turning out lumber at lightning
speed. We noticed that Messrs. Does
a. Mearns' facilities for cutting and
shipping lumber were excellent, and
that perfect system seems to prevail
throughout their entire business; but
what attracted our attention most was
the Boss Autama saw sharpcner in
operation at their saw mill. 1t does
its work in a hurry, and is just the
thing, it seems TO us, for every saw
mill to have, and none should be with
out one of these celebrated machines.
Mr. I. G. Does is agent for tho sale of
it here, who will be pleased to supply
any demand.

We hope that our local authorities,
as well as the heads of families and
business firms Of our town, will not
lose sight Of the fact that communities
and families are blessed with good
health, just in proportion to their yigi-
lance in keeping disease out of their
midst. Then the first thing TO be done
is, for the authorities to take o gen-
eral supervision, and to see that our
streets are kept clean, bitches thor
pughly open and perfect drainage !;
also, to see that no filth is allowed to
accumulate about unoo0upied resi-
dences and business houses. Seeond,
il the heads Of families do not observe
such q system, il then becomes the
duty Of the authorities to adopt such
regulations as will ipforce cleanliness
about such promises as are thus neg
leeted. Observe the above advice, and
our word for II, VIC will have good
health.
