Logansport News: We are in
formed that j. f. Goodwin has neal
the river 1000 fine Cypress trees tloa
,eA out. when turned loose It viii be
the biggest lot Of timber ever run
Sabine at once. 1t must be worth
at least $4,000. We hope he will be

New: The Sabine River Lumber
Co. is having electric lights placed
IN all parts of ftheir works We there
fore suggest to our citizens that II

the managers and see what it would |
cost to extend tie privilege to the
town, and if it would not cost too

few lights placed in the town. One
at the head of Ferry street in front OF |
Mr. CARROTS store and one at or about /
the crossing of Ferry i'll front Of the
Racket store would be sufficient t. |
light the n 1t would i'm prove the |
looks of the town wonderfully.

Police Jury held three days session
wrangling over a few little points Of
economy, thereby placing something
like $40 extra on the people to be paid
for in hard cash. This is a funay
kind Of economy, since the sam 9
amount Of work has always heretofore
been done in two days. These are
some Of Gov. Fosters wise( ?)appoint-
ments. There is vast difference in
real business and squabbling. Penu-
ry and economy are not synC mymous
terms. This is oniy meant to apply
to those whom it fits.
