LATE LOUISIANA
STATE EVENTS
LAND FOR SYNDICATE DEALING
WITH SMALL FARMERS
WANTED.
MANY FAIRS PLANNED
Compulsory Sidewalk Building Plan
considered-No-Lovemaking Plan
Fails.

Mansfeld-A syndicate of North
ern and foreign capitalists has been
recently making inquiries in this Vi
entity, with the view of purchasing
large body of land suitable for
truck and dairy farming, with the OBJ
ject of improving small places, stock
ing the same and selling again to the
small farmers, principally Hungarians,
on long terms Of credit The meth
Cd is TO equip 20-acre farms with
building and stock at cost of about
$500, and then sell it TO the settler
for about $1,000 on 20 years credit
at 6 per cent interest, which would
make handsome interest on the
original investment. The representa-
tive of the syndicate says that the
plan has worked successfully in 9th
er sections of the United States, as
the chases have been tenant farm
ers, paying high rents all their lives,
and that they seldom forfeit their
homes when once settled thereon.
The syndicate ants from 5000
to 10000 acres, as it is claimed
that their interests must be sufficient
ly extensive TO enable them to keep
a local agent on the ground to loon
after their business.

TO BUILD MODEL ROAD.
Trustworthy Convicts Will Be Used
in the Work.

Baton Rouge,-Within about two
weeks the state penitentiary will send
to Alexandria 80 COnyiCts to be used
III the construction of the model good
road from Alexandria to the state
encampment grounds at Pineville, a
distance of three miles. They will be
prisoners who are known to be trust
worthy, and who never take advant-
age of the liberty allowed them to
make their escape. This character
of prisoners can be handled with much
less trouble and expense than the
ordinary convict, over whom it is
necessary to have guard with a
shotgun during his working hours
The so prisoners will be sent to Alex
andria by the board of control and
they will remain there until the model
roadway is completed. This road, is
built by the state and the United
States governments.
