The Police Jury meets next
Monday. There are two things
which should have their serious
attention; one is the condition OF
the Terasse Road, which is almost
impossible, and requires imme-
diate attention. The other is the
Chretien bridge, which is broken
since more than a month. If this
bridge belongs to Mr.. Levcrt he
should be given so many days to
rebuild that bridge, or it should
be Immediately built by the pa
IRISH at Mr.. Levert's costs, if, on
the other hand the bridge belongs
to the parish, no time should be
lost in rebuilding it. At all events
the bridge should be Immediately
built, and the question of owner
ship discussed after.

Furnishing Children.
Ibberville South.

Every man who amounts to any
thing to-day, knows the value OF
the horsewhip and the birch on
the back of his childhood. It can
not be denied that children invar-
iably have vicious tendencies and
nothing short of a good whipping
will conquer their tempers and
teach them to bow to authority.
Every father knows the value of
childhood whippings in his own
case. If be yields to the maudlin
sentiment of modern mothers, who
kiss and wheedle dogs and shed
tears over the bumped toes of
their offsprings, he we'll knows
that his son will never rise 10 any
position of prominence and that
his manhood will be tame, weak
and efeminate. The ruler should
be restored to the schools where
it was properly used when the
present race of men we're boys.
1t should be used humanity, and
the motto spare the rod and spoil
the child, should be recognized
by the courts in dealing with Ca
ses of teachers who have been
placed under arrest by parents for
furnishing rebellious
children.
