WHAT'S WRONG.

What is the matter with The
Church and the Lodge? This
question is being asked by the
faithful few who keep these two
institutions alive by regular atten-
dance. The trouble is the al
mighty dollar is in the way. Peo-
pie can't lose sight of IT long
enough to give my attention what
ever to the Church or the Lodge.
This is an age grab. and if you
don't get your mite out somebody
will grab what belonged to you.
therefore of the greatest and best
things are englected What a
change has come over the people
during the past twenty-five years.
Men, at one time, would let moth
ing come between them and their
Lodge. They would take a whole
week off and attend a camp-meet-
ing, but now they sit in their
places of business on Sunday. on
lodge night. aud all the time only
one thougbtin that of the
Almighty Coin of the Ream."
Brother, did you ever stop to think
that you are only traveller Oh a
long journey and that sooner or
later you will wind up in the grave?
Why not get something out of this
life? You only lave it once. 1t
is well enough to stick to business,
but don't overdo il, for of all men
dispised it is the man with money
and no conscience. Don't live SO
people will rejoice when you die
In other words, don't let money be
your God, nor s per cent your re-
ligion. -DeSoto MOI Republican.

How The r1eridian Dis
patch Puts 1t.

Over in the City OF Meridian,
Mississippi, appeared a strong ar
ticle on buying at home. The ar
ticle covers the same points We
have been trying TO make and we
herewith reproduce part of it.
1T Ought not DO necessary in
this intelligent age to have to call
anyone's attention to the wisdom
aud logic of spending money at
home. Let the fact that some
people in every city continue to
make practice of sending out of
town for. great many things
which they could just as well buy
at home, makes discussion of the
subject pertinent on almots any
day during the year.
Every dollar you send out OF
town takes just that much money
out of the city where you have no
opportunity of getting any of it
back again. Every dollar you
spend here, stays here, and while
it is here you do have the oppor-
tunity of getting it back again.
The common sense, the logic,
the home pride, the public spirit.
the patriotism of keeping your
money at home ought to DO appa-
rent without argument.
Grading at home is one OF tue
things that will boom, boost and
build town more than any other
one particular thing"

A Warning To Planters.

Mr.. Il. G. Comeaux called at
this Office this morning and show
ell US an examples of the ravages
of the borer upon the cane. The
stalks we were shown are badly
damaged. aud, if the 'peesky"
worm has played this much havoc
at this early stage of the season,
it will have become very serious
matter by the time the harvest
season arrives. Something should
be done at once. - The Iberville
South.

New Iberia, st. Martinville and
many other towns in Southern
Louisiana have become very near
future possibility through the re-
ciamation of marsh lands at Para
dis, Des Allemonds and Racsland.
Reclamation completed and now
i'll process of completion will clear
the way for road between New
Orleans aud Houma with the ex-
ception of about three and half
miles.
AS yet the several parishes and
localities, the good roads people
aud the reclamation companies
have not gotten together, but a
meeting of some sort aud the
adoption of a definite plan OF ac-
ton is expected before very long.
The idea is to build a road good
enough not only to answer the
needs of the people of Southern
Louisiana, but to serve as one of
the links in the great roadway sys
tenn planned from New Orleans
through Louisiana to Texas, thence
to San Antonio.
The movement to secure a paved
highway between New Orleans and
Mobile, and between Mobile and
New York is now taking shape.
There is now paved highway be-
tween Atlanta and New York
which is part of the general sys-
TEN.
Before definite progress can be
made in Southern Louisiana the
people of the various towns must
get together and make their wishes
known TO the parish and state Off
cials.
