The Value Of Roads.

Our people are beginning to re :
alize the value of good roads and
Monday we understand that our
Business people voluntarily con
tributed large amount in order
to help the parish build some of
the bad roads which kept away a
large amount of trade.
The Loreauville road which is
now impassable will soon be made
a good permanent road, and also
the Terrace and Cypress Island
roads will receive immediate at
tention.
Iberia Parish has built fine
roads from Cade to New Iberia,
and they have shortened the road
to ak niles Lafayette is now
building a gravel road from La
feyette through Broussard to the
parish line, on the Youngsvills
road, making the road shorter aud
level throughout, we get large
trade from these sections, and un-
less we can offer to these people
as good roads, they are not going
10 come to us, as no one will leave
a good road to go to'a heavy mud
dy one.
These are the conditions we
have to meet, end we have to meet
them at once, or we will have to
pay heavily for our neglect in loss
of trade.
We must get up and be doing
and rush ths work as rapidly as
we can. 1t means cash trade for

A friend sends in word that hits of

We have labored increasingly for four

wisher's program.
Besides making what many people
have appraised as the best paper in De

to give as much Of the right kind for the
money as any other paper.
We admit some handicap in the pas,
in the matter of facilities, now happily

The necessity of printing the exhaus-
