Good Roads.

(Extra.t from speech of Congressman
Sulzer. of New York in House of Re-
representatives., June 1910.
aGood roads, like good streets. make
habitation along them desirable; they
enhance the value of farm lands, faci-
litate transportation. aud add untold
wealth to the producers and consul
mers of the country they are the
milestones marking the advance OF
civilization; they ecoaomize time, give
labor lift, and make millions in money,
they save wear and tear and worry and
waste; they beautify the country bring
it in touch with the city; they aid the
social and the religious and the educa-
tional and the industrial progress OF the
people; they make better homes and
happier hearthsides; they are the avenue 8
of trade. the highways of Commerce. the
mail routes OF information, and the agen-
cies ofspeedy communication; they mean
the economical transportation of market
able products-the maximum burden
at the minimum cost, they give employ
ment to our idle workmen, distribute the
necessaries Of ofhfe-encourage energy and
husbandry, inculcate love for our scenic
wonders, and make mankind better and
broader and greater and grander.
The plain people OF the land know the
past.
They realize that often the differen ce
between good roads and bad roads is the
difference between profit and loss.
Good roads mean prosperous farmers;
bad roads mean abandoned farms, sparse
ly settled country districts.
The truth Of the declaration OF Charles
Sumner fifty years ago that "the two
greatest forces for the advancement Of
civilization are the schoolmaster and good
roads, is emphasized by the experience
OF the intervening years.

"Old Constance" dies at 81.

Constance Bossier, an old colored wo-
man residing at Edgard. died Saturday
at the ripe old age Of "a years.
Constance was slave owned by the
Barre family, but was permitted to pur-
chase her freedom, which she did with
her own money long before the act of
emancipation was signed.
She subsequently married Etienne
Sentilles. french man, who died in 1871.
Constance is survived by daughter.
Mrs. Leocadie Fourcade. She was pro
perty owner, and was loved and respected
by the entire community. She had part
ly raised white orphan girl, who is now
Mrs. Joseph R. Hymel, of New Orleans.
Mrs. H Hymel's gratitude never waned
and she visited the old woman frequent
lv, being at her bed side a few days
before her death.
Whenever sickness invaded the home
of Mrs. Jules Joseph, the first one who
was called upon was Constance, or rath-
er aMemere' as she was atfectionately
called by the family.
She it was who crooned over the cra-
dies of the worthy men of yesterday,
who handled on her knees those of the
younger generation and who decked for
their nuptials fair brides Of the @old re-
gime.'
Here and there one of her type totters
with failing steps and peering eyes along
the roads from which the cane and corn
fields stretch fair distance to the ruins
of ade big house, or the more garish
modernity of the twentieth century coun-
try home.
But they are vanishing-fast; soon,
like the brides whose loving and fearful
attendants they were. and like the men
and women whom they helped to usher
into this world and out of it, they will
mingle their faithful clay with the kind
ly soil that knows no ultimate distinc-
tions.

This firm, known to all the residents
along the coast, has issued cards an
nonncing the Fiftieth Anniversary OF its
commercial existence, during which time
it's members have been factors in the
business world OF the parish.
The dim past, with its traditions, is
here linked with the present and it's
realities.
The history Of this large establishment
is the history OF the community itself:
it's periods Of prosperity and adversely
have been identical, and to day the high
financial standing Of E. ]. Caire and
Company reflects that condition OF pros
perity shared in by the immediate po-
pulation.
The old sbrick store,' land mark for
over half century and still in q good
state of preservation, was built by Mr..
J. L. Aubert who conducted general
mercantile business there for years, with
success.
On Thursday, July %. 1860, Mr.. Au-
bert sold his interests here to Mr.. Jac-
ques Aubert, his brother and Mr.. j. B.
Caire, his intimate friend.
Fortune was exceedingly bountiful
with the new firm. Soon after, Mr.. Au-
bert retired. leaving Mr.. Caire the sole
owner. The marvellous development OF
the business during the succeeding years
was but the forerunner OF the more mar.
velous development Of the years to come
Mr.. J. B. Caire died in 1879, bequeath,
ing an honorable name and q valuable
heritage to his widow and son.
subsequently, Mrs. Cairo married Mr.
j. B. G. Graugnard, whose administra.
tive abilities brought about rapid ex.
pansion of the firms activities.
Agriculture appealed to the merchants
and in 1898, the vast Marmillion Estate
was acquired by them, and this added
considerably to the firms real estate hold.
ings. Other acquisitions followed quick
ly, tina. calling for special mention being
the large Carroll plantation, of the Brad
ish johnson Company.
The firms growth was phenomenal
and the old brick structure was deemed
inadequate. In 1898, the large building
presently occupied, was erected. II
measures 125 feet in length and 55 feet
in width.
Sugar man nufacture was not neglected
and their Columbia factory is TO- day mo-
dern in every respect, having grinding
capacity of a thousand tons every twenty
four hours.
The parish Of st. John the Baptist and
the town OF Edgard feel pardonable
pride in claiming as it's own such pro
gressive citizens as compose the firm Of
e. j. Caire & Co
The sMeschacebe,' which fifty yeart
ago extended it's best wishes to the firm
comes again to day to repeat the same
greetings, hoping, with It's many read
ers. that another fifty years and more o.
prosperous existence may be enjoyed BY
the owners and their children.

IRRIGATION PUMPING
NO EXPERIMENT NOW
Big Farmers are Proving the
Absolute Reliability of
the Pump
PLENTY OF FINE WATER
For That Reason the MINI
bres Valley Problem
is Settled.
PLENTY OF FINE WATER

For many years people thought
that pumping for irrigation was
only a dream, but now they sit up
and realize it is a positive and living
reality. California pumps irrigation
water 240 feet, and raise crops that
pay them fine profits, and as the
Mimbres Valley farmers have nearly
200 feet less to raise water and have
II in perfectly inexhaustible guam
titles, we can figure on just that
proportion of larger profits.
1t is no experiment with us now.
We know what can be done and are
doing 1t every day, No less than
seven big pumps in different parts of
the valley are proving what can be
done by doing it. Humid, Hicks and
others proved it last year and lots
of the boys are seconding the mo-
ton" this year. DR.. p. X. Como
way is now about to install a pump
that will easily raise 1000 gallons
per minute and has a capacity Of
500 gallons better than that. He
has we'll with better than so feet
of water-bearing gravel, the water
coming within about forty feet Of
the surface. The Hicks, Hund's,
Boilers, Burdick's, Shul's Thomp-
sons, DR.. Huffman's, Col. Berry
mans, Solignac g. LESBOS, Russell's.
Hugh Ramsey's, Jordan's, Berrys,
Cox's, Smiths, McBride's. Taylor's,
Williams, and scores of other fine
wells are easy proofs of our every
day possibilities. The fact that the
Boilers have a whole carload of
pumps coming and that other deal
ers are unloading them in smaller
quantities every day, shows that
there are mighty activities here
right now, and there will be NIGH
tier activities coming right along.

Those Old Relics

Our enterprising druggists, Irvine
& Raithel, have a relic window this
week that is attracting very much
attention. There are books with
scar and yellow leaves of centuries,
guns that defended the prehistoric
races, compass used by Holland
surveyors. bow and arrows Of the
ancients, powder horn used by Mars
probably, bear knives from Ken
lucky, revolvers and pistols since
almost Nero's time. There are relics
Of war and of peace, Of the old and
new world. Of centuries past and
probably what will be used In cent
uries to come. There is about every
thing except an air ship. II sort OF
reminds one of the ages that are
