A Greater Natchitoches.

Just at the close of the year
that as a whole has been a bright
and successful one in the way Of
public improvements and enter
rrises, it is we'll to begin to think
seriously of what we must do in
1914.
Natchitoches like many other
cities of its size and larger, has
citizens who are public spirited
enough to give their time, energy
and money for any thing that will
benefit it because of their love and
confidence that the accomplishment
OF one thing is only an incentive
for another.
Then we have another set of
citizens who are not only satisfied
with their surroundings, but OPP
pose any public enterprise ChaC Is
started by any one else, so that
their opposition and discourage
ment makes it doubly hard. for the
progressive element.
Harmony in purpose and action
form the kew note for success, and
if we wish to make of this old
town what it can and should be
this unaniminity must prevail.
Let us all think seriously over
what we must do this coming year
to make a Greater Natchitoches
and let our first new year resolu,
ton be a pledge to give a lone
pull and strong pull and above
all, a pull altogether for a Greater
Natchitoches.
