Editor COURIER
In your last issue | promised to illustrate
the many advantages OF q first class associa'
ton race track at Opelousas. q
To start with let us make ghings short. !
think you will all coneede the fact, that the
Bohon- Currency race caused at least $1,000. GO
to drop in your sister town that might have
appropriately dropped here, and | am con
strained to believe would prove more remit
n~erative here, on account Of your location he
ing in proximity to the majority Of your par
ish people.
There are four essential constituents that
go to build up a first class town: churches,
schools, hotels. and places of amusement.
Yon have seven churches, and now while your
schools and hotels are on the way keep pari-
passu the amusements, and when a visitor
on the quiyiye for a home to locate, strikes
your town and remains a few days, upon
awakening in the morning will say, this is Il
dandy town. The climate is salubrious, the
accommodations are excellent, religions, ed
ueational facilities, and amusement3 abound,
and a great place for the sports to amuse
themselves and the public in general.
TIL race track will help eyeryb0dy's bust
ness, directly or indirectly. 1t is q source of
excitement that draw people from afar.
Other States will campagne their horses
through here, and the North will send their
best horses here during the winter months to
keep IN trainings, when the ground up there
is iced. 1t will increase the business of
Messrs. Stokes, Daily, and Others. A large
feed store will be in demand, hostlers will be
in demand, harness and saddle makers will
increase their business, black-smiths will
grow rich shoeing horses, w~heelwrights re-
pairing sulkies and buggies, the merchants
will sell buggies, sulkies, buggy whips, blan-
kets, combs, brushes, toe-weights, ropes, etc
etc. The bar-rooms will unfortunately reap
the big share. The hotels will flourish, print
ing offices will do well, and the banks will re-
ceive the deposits, and so on making every.
body better able to pay cash for what they
get.
Now in conclusion, encourage running as
we'll as trotting horses, and never have less
than three races on any day, and byiall means
make every business man in town interested.
barrooms should subscribe $4,000 %
piece at least, if they don't-boy,cot them.
