THE HT0KSBURG CITIZEN
Or july 2, 1853.

We propose in a short while to re-
produce the Vicksburg Citizen of July
End, 1858. This was the last wall
paper edition, having been issued two
days previous to the capture of the
city by Gen. Grant. The paper which
we will issue has one very important
feature not found in the regular edi-
ton, as itecontains an extra note added
by the victorious Federals after the
city was captured. This paper will
be valuable relict so to speak, of The
late war, as ii viii contain many items
of intense interest to all those who are
at all familiar with the scenes of 1853
and 1864.
Parties desiring copies of this Issue
will please let US know, in order that
we may strike off enough to supply
the demand. Extra copies five cents
each.

Under the management Of Mr.. ]
L. Williams the operations DE- his
Company are reaching proportions
that are simply astonishing, and
basing conclusion upon present in
dications, We are Of the opinion that
they have not reached their zenith.
With 100000 feet on the yards, and
with ~ average daily cut OF some
5000 feet, and weekly shipments Of
100000 to 100000 feet, backed by a
supply Of timber for the next 100
years, are the present indications for
success. The manager is constantly
receiving large orders from differ
ent points in Kansas, among others,
from Fort Scott, Emporia and Kansas
City. Orders are also coming in from
Texas, even as far west as FL Paso,
which is nearly 1000 miles distant.
The sash, door and blind factory,
something new for our section, is also
a decided success. They are using
cypress from Morgan City. Mr.. Will
liams is now filling large order for
window frames, to be used in the com
strnction Of very fine bnildiDg in the
city of Galveston.
Goosport, the seat of these extensive
mills, is getting to be quite little
town; improvements are constantly
going on; The last building of impor-
lance erected is large two-story
boarding house for the accommoda
ton of the employees. We hope that
the success attained by this company
will induce others to engage in manu-
taeturing as the supply will never
reach the demand for the better class
Of goods and all these enterprises 60
to build up onr town and add to its
wealth. The success Of this company
is fully assured, and we heartily con
gratnlate them upon the happy issue.

JENNINGS, La, March l5, 1886.
Editor Lake Charles Echo:
As this parish is fast filling up with
settlers, the question of public roads
is an important one. VIII yon please
give us information as to the general.
laws relating to the same IN this
State. Can aroad be laid on any
section line if petitioned for and al
lowed by the Police Jury witheut.
compensation to the owners of land
adjoining such sectioniline7
Respectfully,
JAMES MAuxD.
In answer to the above, we will
say, that the laws of the State give
the Police Jury the privilege of max
ing any road public in answer to a
petition of the citizens provided the
land owners will give the right of
way, otherwise not, unless 1t can be
shown that the public interest de-
mands the road, then the Police Jury
may exappropriate the land refused
for said road, and appoint jury con
sisting of at least six free holders,
who shall assess the damages due the
injured party.
However, there is one exception to
this, and that is in case of navigable
streams, where the statutes provide
that land owners contiguous to any
navigable stream shall give the right
of way for the purpose of public
highway when such is desired. The
laws relating to the appointment Of
oyerseers and their duties will be fur
nished to the overseefs by the juror
in the respective wards. Will be glad
to answer any inquiries looking to an
improvement of onr roads as it is
a very important question.
The Lake Charles echo. [volume] (Lake Charles, Parish of Calcasieu, La.) 1876-1898, 1886-03-27


We respectfully call the attention
Of our city council to the Importance
Of securing locations for public
squares or parks now, while they may
be secured at prices and on terms
that are within the reach of our pub
lie treasury. That we need such, is
evident 10 all who understand The
wants Of d city, and we simply call
attention 10 q few of the many adj
vsntages which will accrue to our city
by laying out and adjoining these cosy
places of resort. Our city, like the
city ofDavid, SIS beautiful for loca-
tion," here nature with lavish hand
has bestowed her gifts, and we should
not failto nae the natural advant-
ages which we enjoy. Public parks
adorned with flower beds or set in
shade trees, will not only add much to
the beauty and loneliness OF town, bnt
will be conducive to the health and
happiness of every citizen. IT'S there
our children may sport and gambol be-
meath the dense foliage that over
hangs the shell walks, enjoying the
pleasant orders that float on pure
breezes made dOubly pure by the ab-
sorbent qualities of the leaves above.
These and other benefits may be en-
joyed by us without its costing much;
as tho history Of New Orleans and other
cities, fully proves that the enhance
ment in valuation Of property more
than equals the outlay.
