Hon. S. M. Robertson.

cWe have for some time past been no.
ticing the record that the representative
from ouB district, the 9th, Col. Sam M.
Robertson, is making for himselfin Con-
gress. For new member, and q young
man, we think that the Col. has done
remarkably we'll. He has pushed for,
ward by his tact and industry to quite
an advanced stage, several measures of
local interest to our State taken in hand
by him. Among them is the bill pro-
viding for the construction of public
building at Opelousas. His bill appro-
PIRATES $4,000 for that purpose. He
has obtained from the appropriate COM
mittee of the house favorable report,
and we may now confidently expect
that this long delayed measure, of so
great Importance to this portion of the
State, will be adopted by the present
Congress and signed by the President.
Both of his predecessors, Judges Lewis
and Irion, during their respective terms,
introduced in Congress similar bills.
Judge L. Il. Lewis succeeded in having
his bill pass both branches Of Congress,
but for want Of time it did not receive
the Presidents signature. Judge Irion
also made considerable progress with
his bill, but the SESSION was short one
we believe, and lack of time again prov
ed fatal to the measure.

NEW ORLEANS, March l5th 1888.
Dear Sirs
precarious condition of health, has pre-,
vented my answering sooner your communica
ton of the Ist inst, in which you invite me tC
attend the eighth annual session Of the Lou
isiana Press Association which will be held al
Opelousas, on Tuesday, May lst, of this year,
and to deliver an address on that occasiont
regret to say, after some hesitation, that
| feel compelled not to assumenny engagement
| which, very probably, it would not be in my
power to keep. Nothing could crafty me
more than to be able, in the delightful montl
of May, to visit Opelousas where ! used t.
have many much valued friends, and to revive
pleasant "reminiscences of locality of which
have lost sight for more than forty years
But ] have entered my eightyfourth year
and at that age one whose physical organiza
tion is not very robust, is bound to take int
consideration the fatigue of travelling and thu
consequences of a change of diet and habit q
/ living, even temporarily.
| beg you therefore to permit me to decline
the invitation with which have been honor
ed and to accept my thanks for having offered
me the opportunity to give you the assurance
of my distinguished consideration.
Respectfully yours,
CHARLES GAYARRE.

Good Roads.

The best piece of road grading that we
have ever seen is that being done by
Mr.. Diomel Durio in the Burr lane at
the present time. Formerly the water
ran down the center of this road, the
side bitches ~ being about two feet
higher than the road bed. Now it has
been transformed into perfect water
shed, firm and beautiful grade, high
in the center, and sloping on each side
into bitches that will carry off every
drop of water as soon as rainfall ceas-
es. The large and ugly bog-hole in the
platain has been graded and raised up
on level with the road, except small
channel for the passage of water under
bridge twelve feet wide across the de-
clivity. A ditch has been dug9t trough
the Boagni field which will carry off
the surplus water, above, through the
main ditch in Taylor's lane leading
west. Mr.. Durio is the right man in the
right place, WHO understands his bust
ness thoroughly, takes prid&in good,
effective work, and should be appoint
ed road superintendent of the parislE
With his Judgment, bis energy, and
skill iu running a road machine he
would give us good solid roads, the
year round, throughout the entire
parish. Let the police jury appoint
him, give him good salary, and save
hundreds of dollars to the parish annu.
