One of our exchanges says that there
is not a business man in town who
would not tell you the way to have q
good town is to patronize the institu-
tions tina. exist there. Patronize it's
stores, its mills, lis carpenters, lie doc
tors land its lawyers. Give your
money to its charitable institutions and
its churches. OF what service to the
town is that man who buys all his dry
gooda, clothing, groceries, drugs and
lumber in another town; who goes to
another town for his doctor, his law
yer or his carpenter? If we all did
that we could not sustain a town.
just as we do it in a greater or less
degree we have poor town, good
town or better town.

A meeting of the Levce Board was
called by the President, Hon. j. Il. Nc
Clellap, to convene al Delta yesterday
and we understand that the meeting
was called to take some immediate
action about the Salem levee. We are
told that the condition of this levee is
quite critical indeed, only about three
hundred feet Of the bank is left in
front of the present levee, with the
bank caving all the time Mr.. Robert
Nicholson has gotten the contract from
the State Engineers to build the now
levee, and in the specifications of this
contract, be binds himself 10 keep at
least one hundred teams on the work.
The mass meeting of last week did not
think that this number of teams was
enough, and accordingly resolutions
were passed asking the President OF
the Levee Board TO call a meeting OF
the board in order TO devise some
means TO accelerate the work. We
are in hopes that the Board offered a
bonus of several cents for every yard
of dirt put OH that levee, so that all
the sub contractors in this aud the
next parish, induced by tho bonus
offered, will put on all their teams and
finish the work in q hurry. A break
at Salem would be more disastrous
than at any other part of this parish
as the water would fluid its way imme-
diately into Little Tensas, Willow
Bayou, Brushy, Roundaway Bayous
Big Tensas, and overflow every foot
of land situated along these streams
between here and Red River.

The Mayersville Spectator says tina,

building of branch road into Issa-
quena, that will run into Mayersville.
As to where it viii! leave the main line
and where it will again strike it we
have not been able to learn, but as
Meyersville is not greedy we hope our
friends of the slower end" will be bene-
flied too" We hope that the rumor
is fact and that the Y. & III. V. will
build the road along the front Of Issa-
quena County. 1t would be great
thing for the convenience OF Provi-
dence, and it might be the cause ofour
road being built west, which would
give the Y. s. NJ. ". an outlet of great
magnitude in handling freight.
