Within the past iour or FIVE
months there has been considerable
tats about boom 10 Vermilion.
Meetings have been held, committees
have been appointed, and this com
munlty has been in the throes of
spasmodlc attacks of energy, at
times really alarming. Through
private correspondence, influential
men from the more northern States
have been induced to visis this par.
ish, and were unanimous ia saying
that "the half was never told, and
have gone back as missionaries to
tell Of the wonders of Southland.
Scarcely a month goes by without
several prospectors dropping down
upon US, and declaring their inten-
ton to settle among US. Then we
have several railroad committees On
our hands, and last week j sugar re.
fnery was agitated, and-a, commit
tee appointed. We give the above
as news, for it is safe to soy that
one half Of the people in our own
town are not aware Of these facts
except as rumored in vague way.
And right here is the reason SO
many booms have exploded and
gone up in smoke. There are abont
a handful of men in this parish to
whom are left its development.
They are at the head of every at
tempt to interest capitalists and Sc.
cure for this section the recognition
its Importance demands, and yet
when they look tothe very men who
will be most benefited By our ad.
vancement, for support and encour.
agement, they are met with the ut.
most apathy and Indifference. And
then when the attempt fails, these Rip
Van Wrinkles smile and say: I'VE
knew it.
We suppose every community has
its share Of this sort Of citizens, but
we are kicking because we have more
than our share. If these obstruc-
tionists would interest themselves
a little in these efforts to better our
section, they would soon see that
they would be the gamers, and such
a thing as failure would be unknown.
There never was a more auspicious
time to manifest your public spirited.
ness than the present, aud we trnst
that the many schemes afoot for tho
development Of this parish, will meet
with the hearty assistance and co.
operation of all classes. With rail
road communication with the out
side world, not only sugar rcfn-
cries, but other industries wouli
soon spring up, and our parish wouli
experience an influx Of immigration
of thrifty farmers who would make
our parish bloom, and ensure con-
tinned growth and prosperity. But
we've got to hustle.
