The roads throughout the pa
IRISH are in bad CONDITION, there
are holes in many places that make
them almost impossible. With
the new system of contract work
as we have it now, in control of
one crew, some of our people seem
to think that it will be a long time
before all the roads can be repair
ed. The amount of work that will
be required of the road crew after

We note from the newspaper
reports from almost every section

ries that are committed every night
in almost every town. The mum :
Der of stores and other business
establishments that are broken in
to and the amounts of money and
good stolen, the cracking of ordi-
mary safes and their contents ia
ken away is growing to an alarm
ing extent. Such burglaries will
generally result in murder if the
Burglars are surprised or de-
'teched, as men pursueing such
vocation are bold and determined,
and will not hesitate to commit
crime to conceal their identity and
save them from wearing the stripes
and the hardships of prison life.
We have not much complaint to
make here ia st. Martinville, as it
was long time since we bad q
Burglary here, until the burglary
OF the Robin & Gary store few
days ago; but. it seems to rs that
there is gang of thieves at work

this town all in one night aud Gre
ate much damage. In view of
such possibility and under such
prevailing conditions, we believe it
would be wise for the town autho-

ty to keep close watch on all the
stores and business houses that
could be attacked by burglars.
