Ex-Governor Not Concerned About
Contests in the Legislature.

CONTESTS IN the LeSlsIhture.
TRENTON, Nov. l6.-Ex-Governor Ed
ward c. Stokes came out with a state
ment today in which he said he did not
intend to become party to any indivld-
ual contest within the Republican ranks
Referring to the contest for the honors
in the Assembly, Mr.. Stokes says "the
statements that | differed with Mr.. Kates
last year on legislative matters Is abso-
lutely false: / had no difference with him
or any other member of the Legislature.
He adds:
THE association of my name In con-
nection with the Morris Canal is totally
without foundation, nor do | know any
thing about the purported interest of a
prominent Democrat In the speakership.
Members of the Legislature will keep
faith with the people, carry out their
platform pledges and legislate for the in
terests of the State"

Health Officer Busy.

Dr.. B. A. Littell, president of
the Board of Health, has begun
his spring crusade for a cleaner
Opelousas. The inspectors have
started on their rounds and ask
the cooperation of all good citi-
zens. The Board is not given
sufficient funds to regularly po-
lice our city, therefore best re-
suits can only be obtained by a
healthy growth of civic pride on
the part of Opelousas citizenry.
A clean and healthy city becomes
the duty of every unity in the
community. It is your affair
Mr.. -Woman-and-C Child, as
well as mine; lend your assist
ance to the health officer by re-
porting to him all transgressions,
then follow that report up in q
week or ten days with another
if the trouble has not been rem
edied, Keep your own place
immaculate, incite your neighbor
to do likewise, Danish your hogs
and cattle to the farm, where
they properly belong. don't throw
paper and fruit peels in the
street or on the sidewalk. Then
have the clean conscience in
freely using the expression our
clean and healthy Opelousas.

WILL PAVE MARKET
STREET WITH BLOCKS
Council Adyertises for Bids
to Pave Street With
Wood Blocks.

The question Of what was to
be done with one block on Mar
ket street was decided by the
council at its last meeting, when
it was decided to advertise for
bids to pave this square, which is
badly in need Of pavement, with
creosoted wood block.
It is expected that work on
this street will be started as soon
as the contract will be, awarded.
The Mayor and members OF
the Board Of Aldermen are to be
highly commended for their
action in this regard; the pres.
ent administration has been
working ever since it went into
Office to add more public im,
provement to the city, and now
on almost the eve Of their
term the members of the city
council are still improving Ope-
lousas,
The courthouse square will be
surrounded with wood block
pavement, and that square on
Market, between Bellevue and
Landry streets, will be Of consid-
.erably more use than it Is at
present.
Opelousas is still progressing
and it is to be hoped that the in
coming administration will be as
progressive as the outgoing one.
The city has not however TAX
en- up the matter Of having side
walks constructed on the west
side Of Union street, but it is
hoped that it will do SO at the
next meeting of the Board of
Aldermen.
