Banner-D emocrat:-No doubt great
many think the weter-wors project for
Providence has been abandoned, but
such is not the case There is always
very great amount OF work preIim;n-
airy to the actual building of such en-
terprises-if success is to be male of
thein-and this work usually devolves
upon few individuals. The water
works committee has no desire to shirk
the labor. and 1t is especially DESTROYS
of an early consumation of this much
needed public Improvement; but it
takes time 10 gather the information
necessary to make its recommends
tons of value, and the committee is
nal<ing haste slowly.
One important step in building the
water-works is the election next week
to extend the corporate limits. The
annexation of some twenty thousand
dollars worth Of property increases the
chances of raising the money neces-
sary ct a small brokerage. because it
strengthens that much The foundation
on which the loan is TO rest. II is to
be hoped that every man in Providence
will contribute at least his vote TO-
wards carrying to success this move
ment which, l believe means so much
to Providence.
Efforts are making to get An expert
enced and leliable well man to bore an
srtesian well right away. Little doubts
are entertained of getting the artesian

Dir. Z. j. Burney, Lake Providence. La:
Dear Strive would lie glad to
know if there is much alsrm felt in
your section over the reported fever in
this city, We can assure you thar
there is no cause for excitement, the
fever does not amount to row of
pins. We very much regret that your
sectionis enforcing quarantine restric-
lions so severely. There is no occa-
sion for it. as he health Of the parish
could be properly protected without
gripping business. The railroad here
will receive and deliver freight to any
points in Louisiana under rules and
regulations of the Atlanta Convention
We are reliably informed that Vlcks.
burg is receiving freight from here
under these rules Il looks strange
that she should receive freight from
here, and then exert all her influences
to keep yonr section from receiving
the identical goods. We hope your |
parish authorities will look a the mat
ter IN a reasonable light. Several |
parishes have already asked to have
direct communication with the city,
we think this in itself is sufficient proof |
that the fever here does not amount to
ANYTHING.
Let rs bear from you and oblige.
