The only safe way is to live in
the present tense. Yesterday we
can not reach, except that wo may
repent of it's sins aud be forgiven,
aud the future has not yet come
and will be sufficient unto itself
whom it's arrival. To-day is our
own. The duty of life is with %
"now." To live humbly toward
God. to live courageously and gen.
erously, reaching out our hands in
a brotherly way and doing what
good We can today is our privilege.
Every day lived right will make
it better for Us tomorrow, what
ever it may be. To live each day
as though We only bad tho one day
on earth-the one day in which to
do good, the one day in which to
praise God, the one day in which
to make the world happy-is the
way to live in order to bring some
thing of heaven into the present.
And surely this is tho way we
ought to live; We are only travel
ere passing through this world to
our home beyopd.-Csucasian.

Another Proposed Trolley.
New Iberia Enterprise.


New Iberia may have another
opportunity of securing Trolley
Line, which if constructed will
connect US with 'Jesnerette and
very probably Franklin if the pro-
per encouragement is given the
promoters. Mr.. F. w. Crosby, of
Now Orleans, we'll known here,
was in New Iberia this week on
this mission and will promote a
line under tho title of the South
western Traction and Power Com
psny, with its domicile at New Or
leans, connecting the towns along
the Techs country. 1t behooves
the energetic and enterprising
citizens of the Parish and City of
New Iberia to lend whatever assis-
lance it is possible to give this
gentleman in bis undertaking, az
nothing could be more beneficial
to New Iberia and the property
along tho route Of this proposed
railway to bring trade here from
points along tho line as is being
done in other States. A trolley
line would not only be great con-
venience to the rural residents, but
would be the means of moro than
doubling tho business that per.
perly belongs to this City. While
we concede that a standard rail-
road is benefit to . community
giving outlet for the produce of
the country travsrsed, which We
only obtain by giving large bonus.
ses and of which the people have
Hong since realized that without a
| tax, q railroad will seek some 9th.
or location even it they double the
distance in reaching their objec.
tive point. There is No reason why
assistance should not be given q
trolley line that will give to the
towns that make tho least effort to
obtain trade more than ten times
the benefit of a standard road,
The charter of this Company will
in few days appear in one of the
New Orleans papers and We sim
cerely hope the promoters will
succeed in the undertaking. Once
this road connecting tho towns is
completed it would only be shor1
while before tho promoters woulc
see the needs of circling the
entire Parish. making New Iberi'
