Most OF tie streets OF Baton Rouge are
wider than those Of Opelousas and its
boulcyards arc magnificent. But the
city authorities and the residents on
Government street think that au addi
tional width of ten or twelve feet would
improve that street, and at the sullcita
ton of the former the latter have
agreed to remove their fences back suf-
ticientiy to provide a sidewalk of tie
usual width. The same understanding
has been reached III reference to Main
street, and the work will soon be begun.
Of these wise and public spirited pro-
ceediuss, the Truth correctly says:
Not only alo undertakings of this nu-
turo of very great benefit to the public
at large, but give increased value to
private property. The tendency Of the
age is i'll tho direction OF wide streets
and bouievards and Truth is more
than pleased at the efforts being made
in that Direction 10y our city authorities.

We have frequently asked a man tC
subscribe for his home paper; to helE
to give it that support which should
come from every citizen interested ia
the parish and town in which he lives
We baVe cndeavOrcd to have him ex-
pend something less than five cents pei
week iii an endtavor to build up news
paper Of which he and the town could
well feel proud. The newspaper is the
index OF the town ) worth and progress
We have told him SO and he has profess
ed really or apparently, we know not
Uh:ch} TO believe our assertion. We
have thcn asked him to subscribe, prom
lSlng, even IN violation Of our establish
ed rule, to accept payment at the end of
the year. On the limsest prctext he
has avoided compliance with our re-
quest, processing that he had other bills
to meet, had to look out for the family,
was out Of work, or hadn't the change to
spare, aud We nave dropped further
palieying it'll him. He has gone his
way and we have pursued ours.
Now, Kind reader, We have watched
THIS man. We have seen him go into a
balrOOm or engage in a game of cards
or get roped into a dice game. We
have seen him expend one dollar in one
minute at the bal of the drinking saloon
and it was always a dollar of United
States currency, too. We have seen him
lose five dollar bill in less than half an
hour at a game of poker, or drop his all
on hard streak with the invoices. We
have observed his countenance at these
times; it has never changed; he has
never complained of bis ill-luck he has
never seemed to worry about the wife
or little ones at home depending on his
earnings for food and clothing; he has
never seemed to think OF tie "other
bills lie had to meet or the "poor
mouth he assumed when we asked
him to expend the pitiful sum of five
cents week in direction that would,
at least, give the wife a few hours of
mental pleasure and the children ben
eticial exercise in their leisure hours af-
ter school-if he has thought enough of
them to send them to school. He is a
regular Vanderbilt when he leans over
the bar and throws out dollar for the
drinks; he is first class candidate for
the poor house when he is asked to con-
tribute five cents week for news
paper.
Man, you will do well to investigate
yourself occasionally. You frequently
make mistakes Of which it is well some
body should occasionally remind you.-

Miss Linda Black OF Green Meadows
is a fortunate young woman.
She was getting into buggy on the
corner OF Second and Maih streets, yea.
terday, WREN the horse took fright and
bolted.
Miss Blacks dress became entangled
with the refine, and the horrified spec
tators saw the horse dash down the
street, dragging the young woman head
downwsrds.
Those who watched the horse tear
down Main street at terrific rate gave
the young woman up tor lost, and when
the animal was stopped, after going for
two blocks, the crowd rushed up to
gather up the fragments that remained.
But Miss Black fooled them. After
going through an experience that would
have turned any ordinary PERSONS hair
white, the nervy young woman arose,
and shaking the dust out OF her hair re-
marked that che would 60 home.
With the exception of few scratches.
