Value OF Good Roads.

An exchange says: do you know a
Good Road sermon when you hear it ?
If you do, here is II in II nutshell. On
the poorest of earth roads, muddy, but
sandy, horse can drag twice as much
as he can carry on his back OF a fair
road, three and a half times us much ;
on a good ~macadamized road, nine times
as much on IL smoth plank road,
twenty-five times as much on a stone
trackway, thirty-tive times as much, and
on metal rails, lifty-tive times as much.
Those who use roads can therefore make
money by improving the roads rather
then buying new horses every year.
Yes, and further, if you have sandy
roads you may possibly get one new
settler per year if you have fair roads,
two good smooth stone or shell, fifty
or more! Ono little city in this State
has recently completed miles OF beauti-
full roads about the city, and the num-
Der of ten thousand dollar homes going
up i%ihat town this year is amazing.
Good roa,is work I'LL around, and for the
benefit of all.-News, st. Augustine, Fla

State Not Local.

Did it eve strike the average thinker
that the constitutional convention is a
state and not a local matter ? Above all
other things differences and factional
antipathies should never enter into the
selection of it's members. There are
grave, vital, most important questions
to be decided in that body on which de-
pend Lonisiana's progress, peace and
success. Ii tfel convention is to be
made the theatre of political wraDgles
it were better not to hold it. Certain is
it that it demands unity among demo-
Gratis or it may become a potential wea-
pom to work their undoing. 1t requires
competent men and they should be sup
ported by all democrats and every we'll
wisher of this state.-Shreveport Times.

ed by a good honse, and the audience
was rewarded with nothing. The lead
ing lady fell thorough a hole in the stage
in the Patterson opera house on the
night previous, and was so disabled. as
to necessitate her being taken to New
Orleans for treatment, and that fact
was a little consolation to those who put
up their money to see such a slim show.
We learn that the opera house has been
sued for heavy damages by the young
lady. The Company left New Orleans
