Several Old Citizens on the Sick
List.

N-rEa HHEEEEE
Opelousas seems to have been
visited with a spell of sickness,
as several of its prominent citiz-
ems, who have already attained a
ripe old age, have been stricken
i'll during the last week or two.
Each were rather sick for a
while and the worst was feared,
but the Good Lord has been with
them and all indications are that
these old felloWs-Dr. Chachere,
Chief of Police Clarence Hayes
and old Uncle JIM Chachere-
will soon be about their respec-
tive business.
The Doctor and Uncle Jim are
reported as being much better,
whilst the Chief OF Police is
rapidly regaining his health.
He was stricken It'll in the City
Clerks Office, in Main street,
falling to the floor, and had to
be conveyed to his home, where
he is now conVelescing.
The people at large Of the en-
tire parish, by whom each one of.
these distinguished old fellows is
well known. are glad to note
that Opelousas will be blessed.

Handy Kitchen To Be Sold Soon.

The Handy Kitchen, the popu-
lar confectionery situated on
Landry street, is for sale, There
is no doubt that it will not be
long before some new owner
takes over the management of
that thriving little place, which
belongs to Theoco e and Dallas,
two progressive Greecian citi-
zens of this city.
Mr.. Theodore is not in a health
full condition to attend to the
business, and Mr.. Ballas, on ac-
count of the loss of his father, in
Greece, recently, has decided to
go back to the old country.
Whoever purchases this little
place and keeps it up as nicely
and as neatly as the present pro-
prietors have done for the last
years, need to have no fear
concerning his financial condi-
ton at the end of the year.

TIL A " III


The Clarion has been Informed
by reliable authority that our
distinguished friend Mr.. Gordy
Richard, President of the Atchaf-
ava Red River Levee Board, as
sisted by the members of the
Beard, is about to consumate a
deal with a certain engineer by
which the levee conditions be-
tween Latannier and Moreau-
vile will be materially strength
ened. It is understood that
satisfactory arrangement for the
rebuilding of the levees between
these two points will soon be
made, through the efficiency of
the able President of the Levee
Board.
On account of the present
financial condition of the Board it
would be impossible to have any
amount of levees fortified, If the
engineers demanded cash money
for their work. as is usually the
case. But we understand that
the Board has been offered a pro-
position by a wealthy engineer,
who is willing to rebuild the
leyees for notes of the Levee
Board for the same amount that
he would require in cash money,
except that he would require 81
per cent interest per annum un-
til paid; a proposition which re-
fleets a great deal of credit upon
the engineer, for his patriotic
spirit and unselfsh attitude to-
wards his fellowmen ia distress.
There is no fear entertained
BY intimate friends DE MIR. Rich
ard that he and his Board will
not seize such a splendid Offering
thereby lettering the levee situa-
ton along the Atehafalay River.
The Clarion feels assured that

Captain Haas Here.

The many friends Of Captain
Samuel Haas will be glad to
know that the old gentleman is
better these days and is right
here in Opelousas, taking a re-
Taxation from his work.
The old veteran is not feeling
as well as he should, but is much
better than when he was in
Bunkie, last week.
1t is hoped that Mr.. Haas will
soon have regained his good
health

GOOD ROADS.

Are we going to secure Good
Roads for our community, or are
we going to take a back seat
among the retrogressive parish
es of Louisiana, is a question
which the people of this parish
should ponder over seriously.
The people of st. Landry to
arrive at the standard Of progress
! siveness should not sit idle and
inert when the question of OBJ
tanning permanent highways
comes before them; the time is
at hand when the prominent
citizens Of this community should
get out and hustle to get better
roads, thereby rendering their
country a valuable service.
No matter how we secure good
roads, just as long as st. Landry
can boast of some of the best
roads in Louisiana is the desire
of every true citizen Of this par
ish. Good roads mean an in
crease in the value of the proper
ty of every man, therefore, for
that reason, alone, each tax-pay-
er in the Parish of st. Landry.
should be glad to vote a small tax
in order to have fine stone or
gravel road pass in front of, or
even near his place.
Dirt roads are more expensive
than the farmer would believe.
Let him break his buggy or auto
mobile, it is a sure bet that he
will realize that it was a rather
costly accident. But the idea is
this; did he stop to think what
was the fundamental and prim-
airy cause of the accident. Or
dinarily he would not, but IT he
does, he will discover that it was
the bad roads which caused his
automobile or buggy to break
down. Would it not be much
cheaper to pay a small tax than
TO nave TO pay enormous repair
bills? Find this out before vot-
ing on the good roads tax next
month.
You st. Landry farmers who
have been complaining of hard
times for the last six or seven
years, wake up! The war is over
and there is no hard time. You
have treasures in your possession
and still you will not attempt to
find them; these things will not
come to you, but you must strive
to arrive at them. The only and
safest way to get to that trea-
sure is to vote the good roads tax.
Do SO and you will be able to sell
your poorest lands, anywhere
between fifty to two hundred
dollars, like the progressive
states in the United States are
doing at present, which states do
not dare boast of such splendid
and fertile lands as Louisiana is
blessed with.
