CLARION


Every progressive citizen OF
Opelousas realizes the fact that
this city is in dire need OF a mod
ern and up-to-date sanitarium.
No ore, thus far, has or can dis
pute this fact and it is encum-
bent on the public spirited cltl-
zens of this city to successfully
launch a move for the erection OF
a hospital which will be a credit
to this community.
1t is really to the utter shame
of a city eff approximately seven
thousand people to allow other
towns and cities not one particle
as prosperous as Opelousas to
erect and operate successfully
one or two sanitariums.
It has come to our mind that
Opelousas has several citizens
who have become rich in this I'M
mediate vicinity and we think
that if the proposition were laid
properly before these men that
they would willingly donate a
few hundred dollars each in or
der to assist the enterprislng
physicians and citizens OF this
city in erecting the proposed hos
pital. Money expended in the
building of a sanitarium is mon
ey well spent, a good investment
and money placed in an instltu'
ton which is of great necessity
to any community.
The Clarion hopes to see the
sanitarium question revived and
that within the next twelve
months this city will join the
progressive cities of the state,
which have already invested
money in a much needed institu.
ton.

Death of Mrs. Susan Hill
SwayZe.

1t was with deep regret and
sorrow that the former friends
and acquaintance Of Susan Hill.
wife of the late Caldwell Swayze
at one time residents of our old
town, learned that she had pass
ed wv into the Great Unknown.
This notification of her demise
comes a little late, as the Clarion
awaited data as to the time of
her death and some other details;
as same has not vet been receiv-
ed, however. and as an announce
ment of her decease is due her
friends, as well as resi-
dent relatives of Opelousas, the
Clarion makes same without the
data which would have been de-
sirable.
The deceased at quite a ripe
age, having reaped her three
score years and ten and plucked
the fruit of mellowed years,
passed away while sitting in the
parlor chatting cheerfully with
her daughter, Mrs. Willie Ray.
and grand daughter Florence
Hitter Ray, in Mobile, Ala. Not
withstanding her mature years,
the old lady always having been
in perfect health, her sudden
demise came as a great shock.
Her two sons, Caldwell SWayze
Of Alexandra, and Robin Swayze
Of New Orleans, were dispatch
ID for, the former arriving
for her interment in Mo-
bile, by the side Of her beloved
ION, Caleb SWayze, the flower

DRAINAGE Is AN INVEST
MENT.

If it were possible to change
the words drainage tax" into
drainage investment or SINH
lar terms there is no doubt in
the world that a community
would have little if any trouble
at all in levying a sufficient
amount Of money for drainage
purposes.
Here in st. Landry, where a
tax is a veritable devil to the
farmers, because they have been
made to pay many useless taxes
Id times past, one would find that
il these sturdy tillers Of the soil
could be convinced that money
spent for drainage is not a tax.
we feel confident that in a very
short while enough money to
drain the entire parish, could be
voted very easily.
In every community where a
drainage tax has been voted and
the work entrusted to good re-
liable and honest contractors
the market value of lands have
been doubled, and in some in
stances trebled. There is no
questioning the fact that in this
parish the value of land would
be increased greatly were we,
who term ourselves progressive
citizens, to vote a tax for the
purpose Of levying sufficient
funds to drain the many streams
in st. Landry, which serve TO
drown instead of draining the
lands.
Enough money has been lost
in this parish within the last
three or four years to convince
us that if we were to drain our
lands within the next five years
we will have made enough mon
ely to drain every stream in the
parish, besides paving every
highway in st. Landry. This is
not Hot air"-if you do not be-
lieve this figure it out and see if
st. Landry does not lose hun
dreds of thousands Of dollars
every time we have a rainy har-
vesting season, as for example
last year, when the Union Irri-
cation Company alone lost over
three hundred thousand dollars.
Let us say that we will vote
for drainage Investment in
stead of for a drainage tax"
and see if we can't make this the
ideal country.

The most delightful event of
the season was a party given by
Misses Helen Milburn and Mabel
Savant at Miss Savant's beauti-
full country home at Whiteville.
The house was attractively deco
rated with ferns and lighted
with japanese lanterns. The
guests were entertained with
numerous puzzles, prizes being
given to those who succeeded
best in solving them. Much
laughter was INDUCED in espe-
cially when the young men put
forth such strong efforts to Sc
cure the greatest number of red
hearts as a symbol of acceptance
of their proposals. Dame for
tune smiled on Mr.. Levi Camp
bell, for he proved to be the
lucky one. Delicious refresh
ments were served and dancing
followed.
