one or two veterans, that drew her

reverent, from the burial of her earliest

she was leaning now, as she stood
gazing down upon the dancing waters

Mississippi sound, en- route for New

an exquisite morning. and the land

of the magnolias and soft with the

placid blue waters, bearing among

Public Roads in the Sixth Ward.

three bridges gone on the road Lead

Bayou Bguf roads, Ca distance of
about five miles, which to our
knowledge have been gone since
some time in March, two OF them
being small ones and the other a
parish bridge. We (the peoplel on
this particular road have pleaded
for this to be remedied, but TO no
avail. And there are lots of others
and more important thorougI1fares
in Just as bad condition. Still If
we kick or refuse to pnt tags on
our vehicles (Which are being
shaken TO pieces) they are seized
and we are put to no end oftrouble
and expense. Can't we find
remedy for such roads? We, the
people Of the 9th ward, have been

This sounds big, or like some.
thing awful. But it is: Look
what you have got, when you get
through! And what it would mean
to us all! A town i'm lead of any
thing in the State-a certain amout
of revenue whether cotton was low
or boil weevil comes; and some
thing to give everybody employ
lnent to make a living and money
besides. Instead Of our best and
most ambitious boys hunting places
for better opportunities, we will
have the bone and sineW and the
intelligence OF other towns coming
to Opelousas, the Metropolis of
Southwest Louisiana, TO seek work
and happy environments
I, as we'll as others, know that
Opelousas has the best surround
ing country of any town in the
State and some here seem to place
prices on their property in line
with this condition. They argue
that Opelousas is bound to surpass
this and that town, and that for
that reason property should be cor
respondingly valuable. But when
they do that they don't seem to
think that Mr.. Durio's farm, or Mr..
Victims store, or any place within
a few miles from here, has the
same surrounding country.
A place is what you make it.
Now il you want your price, just
step out and let the world know
about 1t. Don't put fictitious values
ON your property, just because
there is a. boOm-ask what you
think it is worth. You will find
buyers, and pay for every hour you
have spent in hard work in the
matter, and the Dutchman's one
per cent besides on every dollar
donated or in other ways paid in
the way of public improvements.
Think these things over, and don't
wait on each other. Everybody
e1ust come aclean.n You can't sit
and let the other fellow do for you

Ding your own cash drawer trying

The location is a good one, being
