A USELESS CITIZEN.

About the m ost useless citizen
a community can have. and one of
the hardest to deal with, is one
who has grown up with his own
town and prospered through the
prosperity his city has provided
who, when called upon to aid some
new enterprise for the betterm-nt
OF his town answers. well how
much do get out of it?" This
kind of citizen is found in every
community, some in Plaquemine,
and quite few. The man who is
unwilling to lend moral and finan-
cial aid to develop his city's in
terest, in which has made every dol
lar he possesses, is indeed q useless
citizen.-Iberville Sentinel.

Interurban Trolley in Louisi-
ana.

Southwestern Louisiana is lead
ing the balance of the State in de-
veloping interurban system of
transportation. Taxes in aid of
such enterprises have been voted
by a number of towns aud rural
communities aud every indication
points to the probability that with
in the next few years tho transpor-
tation facilities of that section will
be inferior to those of no other
portion of the United States. Tran
sportation by trolley ':ars 10 cheap,
expiditous aud in many respects
the most satisfactory of oil, hence
the construction of intsrurban
roads, with carefully guarded
rights aud privileges which do not
exclude competition, should be
employed throughout tho South
Country Review.
