St. Landry democrat., 1882-07-22

rice is raised in considerable amount
and some of the small farmers both III
this and st. Landry parish are growing
rich on the production of their II t
crops alone. / here is no better drinking
water than that found everywhere IN
the pine regions the most famous resoll
for Invalids and tourist, is the justly
celebrated Belle Cheney springs located
some fourteen miles west of this place.
This place will eventually become the
Mecca OF this and adjoining states to
those in quest ofhealth. The space is not
of the Belle Cheney spring. There are
other medicinal springs in the vicinity,
but we haven't the facts at hand to say
just what they are though some of them
are mentioned favorable.
SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES
The only real drawback to this coun-
try is the great want OF good schools
For that reason, we invite good men to
come among us, and settle, and work
with us with the view to bring the
country out to its greatest possibilities,
in other words, don't come unle, you
are willing to work, don't come if you
expect to grow rich the first twelve
months, don't come if you are a poll :
clan. We have too many now for TIE
good of the country.
A real good physician is welcome
among us. A Doctor that has a family, it
makes no difference if he is from Maine.
can find a home and room among Us
and help too it he wants it, it sober
and Industrious. You see | am plain III
my statements for the very reason that
| mean business.

NEW TOWN.
The New Orleans and Pacific Railroad
will in a few weeks be completed and
the cars running through from San
Francisco to the crescent city, a new
town has recently been laid out, some
six miles from Tiger Bend on the New
Orleans and Pacinc Railroad. Bunker
vile the new town, is situated IN fine
and prosperous section OF country, sur
large scope of country to back it Bun
kierville is destined to become an i'm
portant point, the greater part of this
parish will be tributary to Bunkierville
many lots have been sold and enquiry
comes in every day asking for informa-
ton about this new city the old estab-
lished towns of Evergreen, Mansura,
Moreauville, and Marksville, must
sooner or later, come to Bunkierville to
do business centrally located, and on
the main line of Railroad from the
most distant west, and the possibility OF
branch Railroad connecting, there we
have every reason to believe that Bun
kierville will be the rising and largest
town in this parish, to, those living at
distance they may rely on being fairly
ing for particulars or any information
in regard to this country. This town
will grow rapidly and become the lead
ing business place in this parish. The
streets are very wide, the lots are large,
the town has been laid out in the latest
and most approved manner by an ex-
perienced engineer, and is on or part OF
what is familiarly known in the parish
as the Ireon plantation. Parties resid
ing in the State or those at a distance
are referred to either Mr.. Samuel Haas,
Bayou Chicot Post Office st. Landry
parish La, OF to Capt. A. NJ. Haas,
Tiger Bend Post Office Avoyelles parish
La, all letters addressed to these
gentlemen will be answered promptly
to business men. This is valuable
point, being sixty miles nearer the city
of New Orleans than by any other
route, and on the great trunk line OF
Railroad from the distant west connect
ing with all the great Railroad lines in
Texas the Indian territory Arkansas
and Missouri, and at st. Louis with
the trunk lines of the north, besides
the manv projected lines. Some now
building leads us to believe that Bun
kierville will be prosperous place.
Again we say to all, drop a
line or come and see for your
self and be convinced that what
has been said, in this letter is true and
for the best wish and true interest OF
the community that surround us: No
country can hope to move forward I'M
less it's people wish for that end. This
is our true object: to build up and make
of this section all it should be,-a gar
den in productiveness, progress In ed
ucation, morality, intelligence,-all that
will tend to improve and develop the
various resources of the country. With
the above We close by saying at some
future day we may write notes des-
criptive OF Avoyelles and St. Landry.
Yours truly,
JOHN O'SHANE.
