efficiency In many OF the horseback exercises

on all sides OF the tanbark Enclosure.
The element Of danger was particularly no.

with green paper streamers on the back OF their
helmets were pitted against a quartet with red

The parish of East Carroll is in
better fix to-day than It has been for
many years, and we doubt ifthe oldest
inha;)itsnt can remember when wit
nesses aud jurors were paid in cash, as
they were at the last term of court.
Our Police Jury certainly deserves
great deal Of credit for the manner IN
which they have managed the affairs
OF the parish. With no back-sots, such
as expensive high water fights In the
next year or two, the parish of East
Carroll should have at least fifteen or
twenty tbousaud dollars in its treasury.
By glaucing at the proceedings pub
lished IN to-day's issue ii will be seen
that there is nov IN the treasury the
sum Of $4,I5764, and we do not believe
there is person in our parish who
will not say that tho affairs are in good
shape aud That The gentlemen COM
posing the board deserve the highest
commentator for tho efficient man
ner in which they are conducting the
affairs of tho parish. Only few
years ago the parish was something
like $4,000 in debt, and all this has
been paid off and there is now q
handsome some In the treasury. Not
only ,his, they have built fine two
story brick jail at cost Of several
thousand dollars anu had metallic fur
niture placed In the clerks Office for
the protection of the books and re-
cords. There could not be moro
competent or conscientious board Sc
lected 10 manage the affairs Of East
Carroll.
