No other civilized nation on earth has
as bad, cheap roads as there are in
America, and foreigners who visit the
country wonder that people who have
developed so marvelously in almost every
other commendable direction are so back

SO handsome return for money invested

HJncie Tomas Cabin.

Tradition as well as creditable
testimony has lacated the picture
painted by the facile pen of Mrs.
Harriet Beecher Stoves famous fic-
tion as drawn from cabin and
residence located in Natchitoches
parish, twenty-seven miles below the
city of Natciitoches, on tbe Texas
and Pacific Railway. The planta-
tion on which these buildings are
located is the property Of Dir. Lamy
Chopin, wealthy and well known
citizen of that parish. 1t was ac-
CURED by Mr.. Chopin's father from
Richard McAlpin about 1852.
McAlpin was q scotchman, Of in
temperate habits and of cruel and
brutal nature when under the inf1u-
ence Of liquor Ia fit subject for such
a character as the cruel Legree.
The old and now historic cabin.
was recently leased to d. B. Corley,
Of Abilene, Texas, and Monday and
yesterday was being placed on cars
for transportation to Chicago, as
one of the most interesting curiosi.
ties Of the great Columbian exhibit.
For many months attempts have
been made By prominent persons all
over the country TO purchase this
cabin, but he has always refused to
sell il, and it is to be replaced as it
originally stood, hy Mr.. Corley,
when his lease expires. The removal
Of the building has set afoat many
stories aud "reminiscences connected
with the facts that led to Mrs.
Stoves world famed fiction, written
during the excitement over the lugi-
tive slave law-Shrevenort Times.

The Eads .Eetties.

Since the Jetties were built at
the mouth Of the Mississippi river,
We assert it as a fact, that thousands
OF acres oifarming lands in Louis
lana, have been overfowed by lhe
waters OF the Mississippi river, that
were never oVeraowed before.
Right here, IN our own parish, and
titty miles from the banks of the
Mississippi riyer. plantations that
never before .overhowed, have been
six times under water since 1880.
Men who have owned these plauta.
tons their entire lives, and who
prior TO the building Of the Jetties.
considered them valuable, now as
sess them as oyeraowed places, aud
are loosing money on them, and
they will have TO be abandoned II
something cannot be done to reclaim
them from the periodical oyei flows
Of the Mississippi river. Deep wa

the City Of New Orleans, and we
have most kindly feelingsfor that
city, bnt We are not willing to see
Louisiana converted into an inland
sea and men forced 10 leave their
homes, and valuable plantations
abandoned, only that the city Of
New Orleans may have deep water
to the gulf.
The average width Of the MissisSS
sippi river from ST. Louis to llle
gull, is about "a of mile. The

Of the Mississippi in South Pass,
to minimum width Of 800 feet. I

selves, that the Jetties are no oh
strnction But, We. at the risk Of
being called ''old. fogy,'' prefer to
adopt the Tom Leathers theory,
that the Jetties are an obstruction
at his converted fine plantations
into waste lands, and will eventually
convert large portion Of Louisiana
into an inland sea.
At this very time, from Memphis
TO the gulf, the Mississippi now ii
bank full and against tie leyees.
At Cairo and at st. Douis. the river
for several weeks has been low.
The Ohio at Cincinnati and at
Louisville is only at moderate stage.
II there is no obstruction any where
then why does the river below
Memphis remain at the danger line,
weeks after the upper rivers are at
a low stage? Does any man believe.
that if The original mouths Of tho
Mississippi riqea were opened, Bay.
ou Plabuenline and all the other
Bayous ane outlets that have been
closed by engineers, were opened
that the waters would remain sla-
tionery for weeks between Vicks
