A Necessary Work.

We invite attention to the reported
proceedings of meeting held in the
Mayors Office on last Monday evening.
The citizens of Opelonsas, and more
particularly the merchants, will appre-
ciate the Importance to them, in a very
special sense, Of the projected work.
1t is of great Importance, too, to all the
surrounding country. The difficulty of
getting their produce to town at certain
seasons of the year must be apprecia
ted by them. Much of the trade of
Opeluusas has been diverted from it,,
for no other cause than the miserable
condition OF the roads leading here.
The circumjacent districts of country
have found it impossible to keep the
roads in good condition, partially be-
cnnse the necessary means have been
lacking. The object Of the money to
be raised by the Committee on Sub
scriptiOns, is to procure them and Lave
them at all seasons for the improve
ment Of all the roads leading to Ope
lonsas. Mules should be purchased and
fed and hands hired to work whenever
work is deemed necessary by the
League. Six mules and two or three
hired hands can accomplish, more than
has heretofore been done by all the
hands called ont for the same work.
