One OF the Best Towns in |
st. Tammany Parish.
Malisonville, La i, Sept. 8.-Madison-
Vile, one of the oldest and most pic
turesque towns in the State, around
which history and stories haye been
woven and interviewer, and which. but
for daily trip of steamer. has been
cut OF from the world, having no rail-
roads, has started to come to life In
way which is compelling her more for
tunate eister towns on railroads In st.
Tammany Parish to sit mp and take no.
tice.
With the starting Of the Pinelsnd,
making two trips day, and the New
Camelia, making one, giving the town
three boats q day each way between
here and New Orleans, q railroad and
an electric line in sight, the formation
OF Progressive Union, the organiza-
ton of bank, the town is picking up
and also bids fair to become the best
town across the lake. There is every
reason to believe that the coming spring
will bring at least two more fast boats
into this trade, cutting the fare to
about Is cents for the round trip.
The owners of the Pineland state
that this fall they will put in fast
power freighter between New Orleans
and Madisonville, and will put . large
passe nper boat in the trade in the
spring.
Madison Vile, with her old time resi-
dences, picturesque oaks overhangirg
all the streets, Is one of the best places
across the lake. Being much higher

drainage is good, and the water from
heavy rains runs into the Tchefuncta
Piyer. which winds its way in q lazy,
easy sort of fashion around the front OF
the town.
