This day the unwilling and dedlca-
tion OF the monument erected by
public subscription, through the ef-
forts of the Ladies of the Grand Army
of the Republic constitute the all alb
sorbing attention of the people OF

itors from adjoining counties. and
the event is attracting wide atten-
tlon throughout the state.
A statue OF this kind Is ever held
with deep appreciation wherever
found. The people realize to the
highest degree that It teaches the
lesson of patriotism as but few things
,feach It, Not only does it teach 1t
snow but while time and the monu-
1 nent endure. All men should be pa
triotic no matter what their lines Of
business and the rising generation
are entitled to its being instilled into
them. for they are to constitute the
citizenship of the future. Sermons.
editorials, books and sayings may
teach the lesson, hut the monument
itself is an object lesson forever. and
none should look upon II without rev.
erence for those who like ClncInnatus
went forth to do service for his
country, and, thereby. gave to the
generations. which followed n world
wide power. whose greatness and
grandeur are the ama2ement Of the
times.
All have n common interest In It.

miration. for 1t Is theirs-the gift of

GOOD ROADS.

The season for moving the
crops will soon be here and it is
important that all the roads be
put in the best condition pos
sible. as q matter of convenience
and economy for the farmers,
and for the purpose Of affording
easy and rapid access to town.
The duty of putting the roads
OF the parish in. good condition
depends upon the Police Jury.
We do not know how much
money they may have at their
present disposal for that pur.
pose. but owing to the urgency
and need of immediate work, II
is to be hoped that in case funds
are short, that they will never
theless be able to find . way to al
once put at least all the main
roads in first class condition.
