The Improvement League which as
we stated last week was organized by
q number of yong girls, is actively at
work and is planning to set task 1or
each week that will be accomplished
and count for a great deal. The very
laudable one that is engaging their at
tention this week, is the cleaning up
of the ravine that is naturally one OF
the most beautiful spots in Natchito-
ches but for the reason that it is used
as a dumping ground by some OF the
untidy residents of the neighborhood,
for the most part it presents anything
but an attractive appearance. But
the Improvement League proposes to
alter all that and after all the old cans
and other refuge are removed, The
Lesche will plant flower seed and keep
it blossoming from one season to the
other. A garbage wagon has been the
first investment made by the League
which it hopes to make paying one,
so as to be able to further other schemes
it has in view. They have also hedge
planted in Ducournau Park which the
public is invited to visit Saturday at
ternoon when some athletic features
will be presented by Masters James
Hicks, Jack Ducournau and Otto Wea-
yer.
1t has been very gratifying to Mr..
Rreazeale who is acting as postmaster
to have had the many kindly express
sions of satisfaction at his appointment
by the Bond Co. come to him from all
quarters. That he will give efficient
service and kindly treatment to all,
can be depended upon, and with the
trained corps Of assistants that he has,
Uncle Sans important business is get
ting the best of attention.

Mud holes and bad streets will soon
be a thing of the past in Natchlto-
ches as an ordinance was passed by
our CITY fathers at their meeting last
Wednesday night that provides for
the paving of Jefferson street from
the Louisiana Hotel down to the de-
pot and Washington from the head
of Front street to the corner OF Pa
vie, the progressive citizens above that
upper section of the city having made
a model strees of their own some years
ago so that soon we will have contln-
uous paved stretch along the prlncl-
pal street from the extreme end OF
town to the other, and all of Pavie
street to the Spanish Lake road.
We think mistake that can be
easily remedied and we trust will be
at once, was that Second street and its
continuation, Normal Avenue, was
not included in this ordinance as this
is one OF the most important and
used thoroughfares in the town. A
splendid object lesson that illustrates
TIE tire Urgent necessity II Rffciudiing It
In the paving ordinance, was shown
the past week, when a transfer full
of school children broke down right
near the Normal gate, the hub of the
wheels being submurged in the mud
thru which the shiTering little chill
dren had to wade after waiting pa
tiently for the horses to pull out. so
as to be in time for scnool.
Now these children had to keep on
their wet shoes and stockings all day,
as the result of which several con
tractei serious colds, and this same
thing is apt to occur again. unless the
street is paved as these mud holes
are among the landmarks that every
body will rejoice to see obliterated.
