The Bridge.

Mr.. L. w. Stubbs of the v. S. & p. Rail-
road has received plans and specifications
for tho alterations in the railroad bridge
necessary to convert it into foot and
wagon way and we have assurances that
work will begin at an early date. He has
been requested to forward an estimate for
the stringers to be used and we understand
also that the other necessary material has
been ordered and the contracts for the
work let. The ties now in use are to be
taken up and flooring put down the full
width of tho bridge which will give about a
twelve foot wagon way, leaving a space OF
two feet to the side for foot passengers to
stand when meeting wagons or trains. In
crossing loot passengers will use tho regula,
wagon way. An IRON railing four feet high
will be put up on each side of the bridge as
| Il protection guard.

Our Small Boats.

Under the above caption an able CORES
pondent of the Bulletin calls attention to a
subject which we are sorry to say has been
almost totally ignored by the business mon
Of Monroe; matter that would do moro
possibly to extend and increase the trade
of Monroe than any other enterprise to
which tho business community could de-
vote itself-the encouragement and foster
ing fthe small boats that ply the Ouachita
AID tributaries during low water.
The failure to obtain insurance, the dis
advantage under which these small boats
are placed, is almost a prohibition, and the
remedy pointed out, the organization ola
local insurance company, is the proper one
and quite practicable. The Telegraph gives
the proposition good, hearty second, and
we believe that when the business mon of
Monroe are awakened to the importance
of tho matter that they will push it to a
successful contamination. We are led 20
believe this because we think Monroe is on
the eve Of a boom. This is demonstrated
by the recent enterprises that have mate
rallied and grown into practical factors in
the development of our little city and we
cannot believe that the march of progress
will be allowed to stop.
Let's have the local insurance company
and the marine ways for our fleet to go int
dock at the Port of Monroe whom necessary.

Much Needed Public improvements.

The settlement of the railroad taxes due
Monroe has placed our little city in a better
condition financially than she has been for
years. and after the city fathers shall have
settled of all her Indebtedness, she will he
left with considerable surplus-abont
$1,000.
We are one OF those who hold the opinion
that governmental corporations have no
use tor surplus funds, that all moneys over
and above an amount necessary torcarrent
expenses should be invested in improve
ments for the benefit OF the people who are
the government. In this connection we
would say that we have 10 disposition to
push the city administration on for we
know it is doing all in its power and we do
not intend a complimentary mere justice
lin saying that tits giving entire satisfac-
ton. Bnt we desire to mention some im-
provements we think necessary and which
have been suggested to our mind as the
best and most beneficial ways in which
the surplus alluded to could be invested.
In the first place we allude to the
bridging of the DeSiard. Our friends in
the Island want the bridge and they
would assist. The police jury could not
AoAuSC e'SASC"AAO0 AOA WV very SOOu IosASouSs
In the first place the Island ward is one
of the richest in the parish, and in the
second place we venture the assertion that
it has received less from the parish in pro-
prortion to. the taxes it pays than any
other ward in tho parish.
Public monies cannot be spent in more
advantageous way than in roads and
bridges. The people then receive a direct
return for the taxes they pay to maintain
the government.
Monroe should act literally in this
matter, for the Island would benefit her
immensely. The small and large planters
AS we'll will no doubt bring their cotton
here for the compress and they will find
a ready market here.
We don't think it necessary to further
urge this important matter upon our
liberal and progressive city fathers.
Tho other Improvement we allude to is
a market house. We have heard our
worthy Mayor express himself upon this
subject and he is thoroughly committed
to it. We therefore willingly leave the
matter with him and his able support,
the city council, believing that before their
terms of Office expire that we will have
what we have so long needed, public
market place.

Cure for Plies.

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense
of weight in the back, loins and lower part
of the abdomen, causing the patient to sup-
pose he has some affection of the kidneys
or neighboring organs. At times, symp-
toms of indigestion are present, flatulency,
uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A moisture
like perspiration, producing a very disa-
greeable itching, after getting warm, is a
common attendant. Blind, Bleeding and
Itching Piles yield at once to the applica-
ton Of DR.. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which
acts directly upon the parts affected, alb
