Hon. Joseph A. Provost, of
Jeauerette, member Of the Atchaf-
alaya Levee District Board for this
section, was in town last Monday.
He reports having attended meet
ing of his board but few days
ago. The general condition of the
District is good, nothing to disturb
the feeling of security that seems
to permsate the people of this lev
ee district while the water is of the
highest for years. Yet the levees
are holding ont without any appar-
ent strain MOI ganza. Raccourci
aud other levees which protect our
front, stand like granite mountains
between US and danger. There is
one point which causes a little I'M
easiness, which is the levee at Tor
res, near the mouth Of Red River,
some scepage was noticed there,
but it is being closely watched and
attended to, should any thing Sc
rious occur, there is every facility
in abundance ready to repair.
Guards with arms constantly pa
troll the whole system, whose argus
eyes will detect at once any weak
spot. Onr people can rest secure,
under these favorable conditions.
Better Ow,
than rent, if you want to get on
in the world. And it's almost as
cheap on our easy payment plan.
The time to buy a home is all the
time. No better time to start
than now. Let us tell you how.
