Ponta distance mile By referring another column you
will find this ordinance The editors of The Waterman have talked
number of prominent citizens in this ward and throughout the
parish and they gave expression great confidence that goo
results would accrue from such undertaking.
The good roads proposition which there can De no
divided opinion among intelligent The value Of good roads
has been thoroughly demonstrated that there be no valid
argument against them The proposed system of obtaining them
the people and enable the building of the roads short time
that there will be system of good roads all the parish If
the election carries and there little doubt that will travel Will
be matter in this parish Property will be increased
in value the cost of transportation will be cheapened and the
farmer will be able get produce to market where has been
impossible heretofore because of the condition of the public high

else seems to want the move.
Seems that there must be a hitch
Or lock in the wheel in regard to

Suppose we try again? Think
The Caldwell watchman. (Columbia, La.) 1885-1946, 1914-06-26

we can get the majority of vot-

than for model roads. | wish |
could meet a lot of my comrades
