This parish is to have the best
roads of any parish this side Of the
mississippi river when they are COM
nleted. The money is already at

MANY more miles before needing to
% to the blacksmith, your fruits and
vegetables will arrive In town better
and everybody coming to town will
not feel SO worn out and can do their

A dipping vat is to be put IN each
ward at the expense OF the parish TO
fleht the pesky, ugly, despisable para
site-the cattle tick. This little pest
drains the blood of life from your
milk cows almost one-fourth as fast
a. YOU can produce 1t with costly
feed. The pest does not rest At
night. but works night and day try
ine to destroy what you are trying
- make. The dipping vat il . great
afep toward doing away with this
nest and you should hunt up your
nolice Juror and shake hands with
rim for his wisdom and forethought.

The new interest in agriculture IN

The association formed recently TO
crow the strawberry and place It on
the market in car lots shows the
spirit of advancement. The &sso-
