he Knows How to Work,

Much complaint has been made
and d~eservedly of the horrible condi-
ion Of the public road on the west
side of the bayou leading out Of town.
We are truly glad to say that the
trouble is being rapidly remedied.
At the last meeting the Police jury
appointed as road oVerseeer for the
roads to CouIee Kinny and to HaW
point, n of the staunchest, thorough
young farmers of the parish, Clement
Fletchr, and the choice was a most
wise and timely one, Mr.. Fletcher
certainly knows his business and he
has gone at the job with a vim and
intelligence which entities him to the
highest praise, His first step was to
repair the hldeous bog hole at Boni-
face Bigat's, this he did by filling the
hole in with brush and building thereon
q splendid leyee. In . few days it
will be settled and when the small
ruts are filled in it will be a job that
will last along time. He has opened
the bitches and drains which win get
rid of the water when heavy rains
fall, the road a little farther west
from rs. EIoi Broussard and Robt
IPrimeaax to Coulee Kinny bridge has
been nicely graded, large new bridge
is built and the bog holes filed up
with brush and topped with a heavy
coating of dry earth all the drains
have been opened up and deepened
and it is safe to say that this road is in
the best condition ever known and SO
well worked that it will remain that
way for a long time with very little
attention, Mr.. Fletcher's work is
such that we think the Police jury
should offer a stimulus In the shape OF
q nice cash prize to the overseer hay
ing the best worked road in the parish
in order that they may all strive te
equal his work.
