We think that it is an essential or
ganization in our midst, but it must be
kept within the bounds of reason and
not be used to carry out personal pur-
poses. The better part of them must
hol the young and reckless portion in
check and not allow them to do things
that would bring the whole business to
censure. Gentlemen, mark this down.

roll some days as many as seventy-tve
to eighty-five employees, who draw
wages ranging from fifty cents to four
dollars per day, nearly every dollar of
which is spent here in Ruston. Be-
sides, all the money paid out for fruit
and vegetables goes into the pockets

Of progress and enterprise. Mortga-
yes are one of the principal means of
disseminating capital and making it
A mortgage is just as es-
to progress and enterprise as
Ire notes, bills of exchange and paper
money to business. A mortgage pro-
perly handled is a good thing for all
and we are glad to be able to
state that there are enough mortgages
n Lafayette parish to keep the wheels
If development we'll greased.-La-

t was reported that the negroes were
and drilling in the section
where the riot took place, and Capt.
;ade, in command of a detachment Of

Some of our business men NAV be
'eard occasionally to say, "times are

money we believe we can see the cause.
