The question of voting on the a-mil'
lax for len years on all property with.
in the corporate lipits of the town OF
Providence in aid. of the Lake ProVi-
dence g. Western railway enterprise,
was voted on Monday without one
vote being cast against the tax. Itwas
gratifying indeed to see the una
nimity in which our citizens were on
this question, aud it. shows that they
are willing to tax themselves to get en-
terprises to come to our town, which
will not do so without Inducements
are offered. If the tax is carried IN INT
parish of West Carroll, which wo De
lieve there is not particle OF doubt
the road is a certainty, aud VIII o.
commenced Immediately.
There is bright future for gu
town aud the parish Of West Carroii
this road is built, and the citizens o
that parish should be as unanimous Il
favor of the tax as the town OF fro'I
dence was OH Monday last.

In few weeks the citizens OF our
lister parish OF West Carroll VIII DC

.;s,er parish OF West Carroll will DE
called upon to vote on the proposition
of voting on the question OF ieVy'pg
0nec;a, tax of 5 mills for ten years III
aid of the Lake Providence and "es-
,oyn Railroad. 1t is with the prop
er,v owners of that parish whether or
NO, thew wish to see their parish put
ON new life or remain in the same ola
ruts that It has been trodding in Tor
wears past, and instead of getting bet
ter aud new people coming in Is De-
coming worse every year. Ihere Is
now q chance 10 store for that PARISH
o,d II the tax is voted we cannot see
how it is to keep from growing aud
those fine places that have been laying
idle for years, will once more De pu'
under cultivation. We do not bei'e'e
that there is another parish in oul
State that would equal West Carol
in an agricultural line if this par'si
had only a railroad, and the cha"c
thew now have of securing one shoui'
! cause them to vote this tax readily an
J willingly. We hope that the goo
: people of West Carroll will not De 5
1 blind as 10 defeat the tax.

Some one has said that the price
paid for The Fisher store, on the corner
of Lake aud Sparrow streets, purchas-
ed by Mr.. Franklin, for $4,000, was
cheap piece of property. Considering
the times, wo think it was pretty
good price, and when it is taken inte
consideration that it needs almost al
entire new foundation and othe
repairs. The property brought all
was worth.
