FOR GOOD ROADS.

The movement for good roads in
St. Tammany Parish was started
eight years ago, when the Police
Jury abolished the antiquated sys-
TEN Of summoning out road hands
to work ten days in the year on the
roads in their respective districts,
and levied tax for the mainte-
nance Of public roads. Under the
new system wonderful IMPROVE
ments have been made in the pub
lie roads throughout the parish. the
road workers being paid in cash for
their services, which has resulted
in more and better work. The re-
sources for this work amount to
eeveral thousand dollars a year,
which is being we'll spent. and il
the great improvement already
evident in the new system is CON
t'nued in the future rs in the post,
it will not be long before 1t Tam
many can boast Of the finest pub
lie roads of any parish in the state

WaterWorks Question.

The subject of waterwolks has
been pretty thoroughly discussed
in the past few years, and recently
the Town Council has received two
estimates of the probable cost of
such a plant, one from ST. Louis
and one from the st. Tammany Ice
d Mfg. Co., of Covington, which
appears to US would be the best
proposition of the two, both from
an economic standpoint, and the
fact that 1t is home institution.
A few. years ago the st. Tam.
many Ice & Mfg. Go. started with
capacity of four tons of Ice daily.
Later 1t was found necessary to
erect larger buildings and increase
the capacity to ten tons a day. A
couple OF years later an electric
light plant was added. This steady
march of progress speaks volumes
for the able management of the
home institution, owned by bone
capital, and run by home labor,
and as natural consequence, the
earnings and profits of the concern
are spent here among our own peo-
pie, instead of being distributed at
q distance, among people who are
In no wise interested in our town,
except for what they might derive
in the way OF tolls and dividends.
1t is useless 10 enumerate the
various advantages and convent
ences of waterworks system. The
subject Is old and familiar to every
body. But there can be no doubt
that We will eventually, and per-
haps IN the near future, be able
to boast of our fine system OF
waterworks, and by all means let
US be able to point to the fact that
1t is owned and conducted by home
capital and enterprise, from the
President down to the stoker.

two boxes.
There is no other medicine that will
compare with Mi.o-na for relieving

fore the eyes, gas and fermentation,
in fact, all forms of indigestion are
quickly relieved and permanently
cured by Mi-o-na. 1t increases the
