The very best promoters for country traffic and
convenient travel to urban trade centers in all sea-
sons of the year are durable and solid roadways.
To these should be added q complete system of
steel bridges across bayous and all other streams.
Good rural roadways and substantial bsidges may
seem expensive but their durability, saving in the
wear and tear of vehicles and benefit to draught
animals will more than compensate for the cost of
construction. Merchants and farmers alike are the
benecaries of such utilities and should cheerfully
and literally contribute to their building.
The times are too progressive, good roads and
bridges too imperatively necessary for safe and
continuous travel to be ignored or neglected. The
demands of trade and convenience of intercourse
should urge active efforts to improve the public
highways.
Old methods of working roads are obsolete. Il
is waste of time and useless labor. It is simply
makeshift without beneficial results. Roads that
are travelable in dry weather are disgrace, 6
nuisance, a hndrance and burden to communi.
ties, particularly during the wet winter months.
The country roadbeds throughout Louisiana are
disgrace and an annoyance to its agrculturalists
Pride, the spirit of improvement should make thu
farmers everywhere construct system of splendie
roads and the merchants and business men o
towns and cities literally aid in this laudabl
work. Shreveport Sunday Morning Messenger

following tribute her memory and were
ontributed by loving relative-EDIroR]
Dressed in bridal robes Of softest lace
She lay with gentle upturned face;
A look of calmest peace was there,
For God had taken her into His care.
She seemed lovely recumbent statue,
Lying there in the snow-white casket,
And we knew that God in His Great love
Had taken her to His home above.
With fearful eyes We knelt and eazed
Upon that face OF matchless grace,
For upon it God had set His seal,
That she was His for future years.
Though our hearts are broken in twain,
Lucille, you have not died in vain;
We shall come to you in your celestial home,
Where God will claim US, too, as His own.
Lucille, dear heart, We loved you SO,
And it was hard, so hard, to have you Co.
Yet, we would not have you back again
In this weary world Of trials and palms,
And now, a last long farewell, dear heart,
For we know that We must part,
And leave you lying in Deaths cold embrace
With the look of rapture on your fair face
For you have only gone on before
To prepare place for your loved ones here below,
And we shall surely remember your prayer.
To meet you in eternity.
