WILL SUSTAIN BOARD OF HEALTH.

1t will be noticed in the proceedings of
the town council on the first page that an
ordinance has been passed that will assist
the board of health in carrying out it's pro-
visions for protection against the spread of
contagious diseases. It has not been the
few cases of disease that has caused alarm
but lack of precaution that might have pre-
cipitated an epidemic in any place but Gov
ington. It is a remarkable fact that the
purity of the air here is so antiseptic in it's
nature that germ diseases not only assume
milder form but are almost incommunica-
BILE to persons in health
We understand that no new cases of sick
ness have developed recently, and with the
stringent rules adopted by the board no un-
easiness need be felt by the parents of chill
dren attending school or by visitors.
We are glad to see that the board of health
has taken matters in hand. Covington is
no longer country town. Conditions that
might have prevailed while back with i'm
punity now demand the sanitary precautions
adopted in all intelligent communities. With
them we can easily maintain our reputation
for healthfulness; without them, we must
pay the cost Of our neglectfulness.

AS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE.

A very important movement by the Kings
Daughters is anticipated and was discussed
at their recent convention in New Orleans. II
is proposed to establish a home for tubercu.
lous patients, to be self-sustaining by rea,
sonable charge within the means of those
in ordinary circumstances. 1t is hoped by
the aid of the town authorities to thus elmi-
nate the danger that now exists Of trans
hitting the disease through improper regu-
lations in boarding houses and other places
While we are not in favor of sanitarium
that would be advertised and draw into our
midst large numbers of consumptives, we
believe that such home to provide for the
afflicted ones who naturally drift into our
population would be an excellent thing, if
backed up by ordinances of the town COM
polling residence therein.

GOOD WORK IN THIRD WARD.

Lack of funds for the performance of work
necessary to secure good roads has made it
difficult matter for a member of the Police
Jury to make such showing in this respect
as to attract public attention and call for
approval. Many members work under the
most adverse circumstances and are charged
up with the deficiencies of the road system
without due consideration Of the impossi-
bility of doing better with the means at
hand. Under such circumstances it requires
not only judgment and economical business
management, but an impartial and fair dis
tribution of the work to keep from being
"cussed' from one end Of the ward to the
other With this condition in view, it is
with pleasure that we note frequent remarks
of approval of the work that has been &C
complished in the Third Ward by it's men,
Der, Mr. Herman Schultz. There are other
members who have accomplished much for
their wards in the improvement Of roads,
but the roads of the Third Ward have come
under our immediate observation. We have
been familiar with them from the time they
were impossible bog holes up to their pres
emit state of serviceableness and can add our
commentator to the praise Of others with
knowledge that it is deserved.
Mr. Schultz has made painstaking and
conscientious member Of the Police Jury,
and the work he has accomplished has been
Of great benefit to the public in general and
especially to those who have vehicles con-
stantly on the roads,

enzon, the butcher who was arrest
ed for selling meat upon the Sab
bath. forenoon was fined S and
costs and ordered to keep his shop
closed Sunday. The case resulted
