The. Hunter Canal.

July the fourth was fttingly chosen
by Capt. S. S. Hunter of Shreveport,
who has been securing the righ of
way and making suveys preparatory
to locating definaite route for the
canal for the past three mouths. as
the occasion to break dirt on his huge
lrrigating canal. The work was be-
gun on Nermillion river, ten miles
north of Abbeville, in this parish and
where the pumping plant will be
located. This canal will be built
from the Vermilli6n river, running
ten miles west, thence five miles south.
and again five miles west, making in
all twenty miles main canal. In
addition to the main canal there will
be numerous laterals running out
along its route. This canal will be
ZOO feet wide and will have capacity
of irrigating 100000 acres of rice
land. This will be one of the largest
lrrigating canals in the world. There
are at present force of hands with
hundred and thirty mules at work
throwing up the leYees, and a train
of ten carloads of mules and serapers
are IN transit from Shreveport and
viii arrive on the canal the early part
uext week. While'it is to be regrett-
ed that the route first selected, start
ing fromthe bayou at Adame Boud-
reaux place, has been abandoned, we
are glad to know there is chance
of some of our local people taking up
the project and building a canal
westward from that point.

Propositions to buy the bonds to be
f1oated by this town are coming in from
rich men in the north. They are hun
cry for such an opportunity to invest
their surplus spuds.-Bastlop Appeal
This only serves to show how much
surplus money there is in commercial
centers, which is seeking safe invest
nent. And yet while the holders 6f
the stuff are anxious to put it IL
bonds at even low rate of interest,
they are very slow toinvest it in farlh
property. Why is this There is only
one answer because farm property e
not a safe and paying investment.
Farming and agriculture is the prime
basis of all real and ultimate prosper
.ity, and when they fail, the country is
getting in bad shape. When finan-
ciers are jumping at municipal bonds,
and yet refuse to advance money OH
lands in the same localities at much
better rates Of interest, it shows that
the farming industry true wealth
producing calling-is at a low ebb.-

Oyertures Of the strongest KIM were
made TO Dr. Moore recently from the
First PRESBYTERIAN church OF Baltimore
and for tho same reasons he declined to
consider them. DR.. Jere Witherspoon
was formerly pastor OF that church.
DR. Moore is fOrty-two years OF age ana

You will. therefore. see that when a

tax IS 50 cents on the bond. You will al
so see that according 10 the tax on mort
cages that there is no tax accruing on

exceed 81 900. The tax on mortgage
securing a sum exceeding $1,000, and
not exceeding $3.50 is % cents.
Therefore i'm any case where

vate person for sum not exceeding
