/ Never before since ourtlme has
the public roads been IN such hne
condition. our oversecrs seemed
dJotermined to lead the balance OF
the county on the good road queS-
lion, There is nothing more es-
sential to q countrY,s good than
good roads.
! In last weeks issue We failed to
note the arrival of a pair of boys
~ the home of our friend Mr., A.
e Tourne. TIE youngsters are
Icing fine and-well they couIdn |
do otherwise for they arc Dewey
ana Hobson. We wish them
long life and prosperity
While other towns are worrying
themselves sick and the press are
raising the deuce over a little qua
rantine, this little town is gong
rioht on saving lumber, making
tnrnentine. rosin, etc, and not
worrying over what the "eX-
spurts" will have done for the
country in the next century or So
There is no chance for man
to be without employment on
Pearl river. There is a sptendld
opening here for men with
families. They can obtain work
at good salaries the year round
House rent and wood IS cheaper
than any where in the State and
there is no reason why man
should be without employment
unless he naturally wants to loaf.
Mesdames John Poitevent and
Frank B. Haync and the formers
two winsome daughters, Misses
Eloise and Gala. who have been
pleasantly located at the Battery
| Park Hotel, of Ashville, North
! Carolina, during the past two
months, are expected home Natu-
rdav to spend few weeks, after
which they will leave for New Or
leans where they will remain dur
ing the cold months.
urlittlc suuib week before last
relative to the condition of the
Ravine Favre bridge. has had the
effect of having the bridge put in
good order. This is gratifying to
not only us but the public who
! have to travel over that road. 1t
goes to show that the Herald
! has begun to make its influence
! felt in public affairs. How about
| the Buie road? We have not yet
seen any preparations being made
| toward its improvement.
| This town is on the verge Of an
era of prosperity. New enterpriS'
es of all sorts are springing up all
around us. There is two draw
backs one is the saloon across the
river. Public sentiment should
form itself into a Dewey bomb
shell and explode under it and
tear it to snithereens. If the
proper steps were taken, the CO.
! operation of the Louisiana Legis-
la,ure could be secured 10 the
extent of making it en- impossible
itY for it to do business at its
present location. The other Is
/ the vast number Of yagran;s thai
Iinfc~t the town, mostly Il set of
! dirty negro bruteS who despls>
work. They are to be found
Ioahng around the most public
places of the town. The evil Is
not restricted to the male mem-
bur- of the race either. The te-
uiales arc just as numerous and
are, if possible, thousand times
more undesirable and loathsOme
than their opposite sex: These
negroes, the men, should be taken
UP and flned heavily or t0rccd 10
work out the equivalent on the
roads at the rate of fifty cents per
day. The work is needed on the
roads and the negroes need to be
! put to work. We have printed
the laws definition Of Il yagrant
and il it does not apply to The
crowd who infest the mail boat
wharf and cogregate around in
front of the "old store we'll we
don't know our business and have
missed our guess. 1t IS not nee
essary for an individual to make
atlidayits and get warrants out
of tuis class of offenders but it Is
the duty of the officers to see that
the law is enforced. That ne
way We interpret it and any rcsi-
able attorney will tell you we are
right.
