Especial trains will be operated by the
Southern Railway, one making the run

nook and corner of the mountain country,
and because of this its passenger men
here are looking forward to big travel,

The Public Roads.
To lhe'I.afayette Gazette:

To the lafayette Gazette:
The Parish of Lafayette has
been all agOg- especially during
these last : or e years-Over the
question of public roads, and
what system best to adopt in
order to secure good roads.
Men otherwise we'll informed,
who have attained to success in
other fields have proven as
disappointing as road builders,
as the barren fig tree which
Christ cursed. We often hear
road overseers say they would
do this, that, or the other for the
roads, but have not the funds at
command. No man is expected
to do more than he reasonably
can with the means at hand, but
in this instance, what is really
meant is that they lack the
energy. to do.
The present system OF work
ing our public highways is good
enough for any body, if less talk
were INDUCED in and more de-
votion to duty displayed by some
of those engaged to perform
the work, and as evidence and
proof of our assertion we would
fifty invite the attention of all
parties to the present splendid
con ditiOn of the main road
between Scott and the town of
Lafayette thanks to the execu-
tive ability of Mr.. Alcee Dugas,
road OverSeer for the third ward.
to whom all of us who have to
travel over the said road owe a
debt of gratitude.
Get you a purpose and object;
aspire and strive to cOnjure up
the spirit and courage of Alcee
Dugas. Do it now, it's a waste
of time to put off, as imagination
increases the difficulties in the
way while it remains to be
done.
Respectfully,

Those who believe that the

that the good results that will |;

by parochial or mu-
nicipal lines are very badly mis-
taken. Those who imagine that
the dividing line between two
parishes is a great Chinese wall
are painfully restricted in their
intelligence. These things
merely indicate the boundaries
which govern the legal relations
between parishes. They were
never intended to prohibit in
dustrial and social intercourse.
In the old days it was
well enough to have armies
to repel the invasion of barbaric
hordes. but surely in these times
of peace and plenty, of good
government and free schools, of
wireless telegraphs and rail
roads, of telephones and liquid
air, no community, however re-
mote from civilization, should be
pardOned for entertaining any
fear of being kidnapped.
The Gazette believes that the
discovery of oil at several points
in South Louisiana will serve as
the greatest incentive to the de-
velOpment of the manufacturing
interests of this section. No town
with the required amount of en-
terprise will be denied the result
ant benefits. Every live com
munity within a radius Of one
hundred miles will enjoy its
share of increased prosperity
