VESIABURC RECITAL
Home of Mr.. and Mrs. D. A. Brown
Beautifully Decorated

Thursday evening, July IND,
hand concert and piano recital was
held at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. D.
A. Brown, of Vestaburg. Promptly
at S:15 o'clock the members OF the
Vestaburg band and the pupils OF
Miss Mabel Reeds piano class as
sembled on the piazza of the resi-
dence. which had been tastefully de-
corated with ferns and hydarangias,
and festooned in national colors,
Japanese lanterns giving wierd light
and lending a touch of the pic
turesque.
The concert given by the band was
greatly appreciated. Under the
efficient leadership of F. A. Murphy
they. inspired their audience with their
clear, mellow tones and well-balanced
harmony. Vestaburg is justly proud
of her school building.
An audience of about fifty listened
with interest to the creditable render
ing of the piano numbers prepared by
the majority of the class chosen to
appear. The drill under title "March
of the Indian Phantoms" occasioned
no little wonder as the "phantoms'
(camp fire girl in costume) slowly
approached the group of colonial
maids dressed in white. AS they
wove heir red torch wands above the
kneeling group no one doubted but
that the blood-thirsty savages were
bent on massacre. But their hearts
were turned, and they offered the
peace-pipe, danced the war dances
gave the "Wohelo" call, and marched
slowly away in dignifed solemnity.

ROAD MONEY SHOULD BE
DIVIDED.

The money which has been appropriated
by the police jury to the building Of perma-
nent roads in st. Landry parish should be
equally divided into four. AS it is the plan
Of the jurors to build four roads leading out
of Opelousas it is no more than just that one
road should get as much attention from the
parish as the others.
By dividing the funds equally and en-
towering the committees to act according
to their W dictates it is the opinion of the
Clarion that better results would be de-
rived.
Out Of the four roads to be constructed
three of these are practically perfectly drain
ed. with the exception of very small stretch
es, but the other one is in dire need of drain
age. Unless this fourth road is given as
much money as the first it stands to reason
that very little drainage will be effected
from the funds.
Let the police jury appoint a committee
for each road, with the member of the ward
wherein the road passes act as chairman;
give this committee the power to oversee
the work and to have done anything which
it sees fit, so that better results can be de-
rived, and there will be no doubts as to the
conscienitousness of the police jurors.
The Lawtell road IS in need of drainage
more than the Sunset, Washington or Port
Barre road, SO, why not appropriate as much
money to that road as to the Sunset road,
which is about the best drained in the par
ish? The drainage question could easily be
solved if the funds are equally divided.
