Beautiful Naval
Station Section.

Last Sunday there were upwards of
1000 people who visited this new SUI
burb, 10 enjoy the fresh air and green
fields of this now popular promenade.
The fact that this portion of the dis
trict has built up so rapidly and is still
going right ahead, seems to arrest the
attention of all. This development is,
however, no surprise to those who take
the time to figure on such problems
1t was predicted and it is here. The
same thing has happened and is hap
pening in the big town across the river.
Within the last five years there have
been over 5000 new houses built on
the outskirts of New Orleans. These
houses are built on larger and cheaper
lots, which means a better home for
less money than can be had in the old
er section with its smoke and its
smells.
This Naval Station section is entitled
to a school and will probably be allot-
ted one now very soon. Arrangements
have been made to have the rural mail
carrier collect and deliver the mail to
those who will place boxes opposite
their places along the car line. The
building of the Immigrant Station, for
which over 100000 has been appropri-
ated, is about to begin. This will like
ly be followed by the laying of the gas
and water-pipes, also, along the car
line down TO this new government
building, where some fifty new people
will be employed and where they will
be expected by the government TO re-
side. The purpose of this ad. is to call
the attention of all those who have
made inquiry for lots in the Lawton
tract during the past several months,
that the prices given will not hold good
after this month. | have several
squares remaining unsold, which com
prise some of the choicest building
sites in the whole tract, and which
will sell, for this month, at one-third of
the price of desirable lot in the town
proper. Peter S. Lawton.

SOME CHANGES

AS time passes many familiar objects
disappear, unnoticed and unregretted,
and their places are taken by other
and worthier objects which soon be-
come part of our necessary surround
ings.
Just as the telephone has more than
taken the place of the messenger and
become a necessity in our daily life
and business. and the paved streets
are eliminating the costly delays of
muddy and heavy roads, so there has
come to our city other improvements
which have changed it's appearance,
within generation, almost beyond the
belief of those who do not remember
conditions in the past.
And now it is becoming part of our
regular routine of life to go home after
the days work and freshen up in a
well-appointed bathroom, and the hot
or cold bath is becoming a necessity
of daily existence.
In Algiers, at least, it is now as Gus
tomary to call on the Algiers Cornice
& Plumbing Works for any imaginable
article in the line of sanitary and sew
erage appliances, as it was formerly to
call on "Bodenger" when cutters need
ed Repairs or cisterns needed screen

Our sympathy goes out to the family
of the late Mr.. Benjamin F. Louder

while not unexpected was none the
less sudden. The funeral was held

ing in the Masonic cemetery. May
God grant unto him rest and peace and
may light perpetual shine upon him.

creased average of attendance upon
the regular sessions of the Sunday
school. Our Sunday school is a source
of great interest and care on our part
and it rGjoices all who are interested
in the growth of Character Building"
to note its progress.
We are glad to learn that our estim-
able friend, Mayor Behrman, is on the
road to recovery, and our prayers are
that he will soon be about his duties as
the chief executive of the city, restored
to health.
