The Natchitoches enterprise. (Natchitoches, La.) 1888-1965, 1913-08-07

According to the Stars, August
will be a month of i'll omen for
the United States, with severe loss
to both our navy and merchant
marine through fire and explosion.
There will be marked activity in
the way of national defense with
movement of large bodies of
troops and serious danger of war.
Grave troubles are threatened in
the East through disgrace in social
and political quarters; seldom has
SO disastrous a lunation concerned
the body polite as during the
month of August. The building
trades will be benefited however
and currency interest improved.
The public health will suffer thru
peculiar disorders with many cases
of accidents.
The weather promises cooler
until after the 18th, then hot anC
humid with destructive storms in
the last week accompanied by
earth quake shocks.

Our Progressive Commission.

When our present Mayor and
Commissioners entered upon their
duties under the new charter OF
Natchitoches, their first and most
important work was to put into
activity the plans that had long
been discussed, of curbing and
paving Front street. from the
depot to the upper end of town.
And now, before that work is
completed, before its entire use
has been turned over to the public
its advantages and convenience
have so stimulated the progressive
ness of Natchitoches, that steps
were taken at this weeks special
meeting of the council providing
for the paving of Second street
from the Normal school to Slbley
street and of six cross streets from
Second to Front, including st.
Denis to the post office.
The Importance of this step to
Natchitoches can hardly be calcu'
lated. To continue these improve.
ments, 10 give the added con-
veniences, and to make possible
a bigger use Of our possibilities
are of great Importance, but as a
civic incentive, and as work OF
progress, its effect are equally as
strong
Our Commissioners are to be
heartily congratulated, their work
is making for them an enviable
record and the improvements they
are fostering will leave perma-
nent monument to their pro
gressiyeness and industry.

August started off most propi-
tiously in Natchitoches with the or
panization of two new business en-
terprises and rumorS of third a
little later. The first is new bank
to be capitalized at $4,000 in which a
great many of our leading citizens have
taken stock and which 1t is proposed
to have ready to begin business the
early part of next month. in time for
the opening of the cotton season.
The movement has started at most
opportune time, as our parish Is on
the eve Of a great wave OF prosperity
it is believed and every indication
points to that belief being GER
tainty. The crop prospects are better
than they have been in years and the
oil developments encourage the hope
that mucn can be expected from that
source so with those and other reasons
the promoters of the scheme feel con-
fident of success. A meeting Of the
stockholders for permanent organiza.
tion took place last night too late we
regret for US to get particulars this
week.
The second enterprise is company
formed bv Hirsch and Blackman of
Alexandria and Mr.. J. Keegan of this
city for the sale and barter of mules
and horses on the biggest scale of any
similar concern ever organized before
in Natchitoches, and 1t is possible
that livery stable and garage will be
run in conjunction little later.
The rumor of the third Is the es-
tablishment of a hardware store by
two practical and successful business
men.

A special meeting of the City
Council held Monday night it was
decided to continue the street
paying that is now nearing com.
pletion on Jefferson Street which
makes a continuous stretch of miles
from the entrance to town on the
north. down Washington, Front
and jefferson to the I. 8 P. depot
at the extreme south end.
The new stretch will take in
Second Street from Sibley to
the Normal. and it has been practl-
cally decided to continue the work
along the side streets too after
Second Street is finished. This
decision will be generally ap-
proved, as every one recognizes
and appreciates the Importance
and great value of paving. parti-
cularly after the experiences of
last winter.
Bids for the work will be ad-
vertised for at once so that every
thing will be practically finished
before the bad weather sets in this
winter and muddy streets and
holes will never again interfere
with the commercial interests Of
Natchitoehes, leaving many other
dlsagreeble features and disadyan-
tage out of the question.
