POLICE JURORS.

The people of this town aud the
parish, We mean the first ward,
suffered a great deal for nearly
three years on account Of bad
roads from all direction from this
town, nearly all tho roads were
impossible and remained in that
condition for three years and the
trade of St. Martinvllle suffered
to an extend that the people Of
tho town held meeting and pass
circulation lists asking the Police
Jury to repair the roads and
bridges, without effect, they met
again aud criticised very severely
the Police Jury again without any
result.
After three years of absolute in
activity, the roads of the first ward
were all worked, and good work was
done, but the work was not made
iu way to assure psrmaDency,
tho roads were not made wide
enough, were made too high, and
the drains were left unopened, the
result is that right now our roads
are again as bad as they were be-
fore, aud would need immediate
attention to be put in good con-
dition for the coming winter.
Now, the time has come to select
Police Jurors. We are told that the
politicians of all the factions afe
anxious to leave the selection of
the Police Jurors to the business
people of the town and of the ward,
that several of our people were
approached to take this matter up,
but it seems that no one is willing
to take al interest, no one 10 will
ing to run, but when the time will
come, that We will have no roads,
our business will DO stagusn. for
want of buyers who will be kept
away on account of bad roads, We
will again hold meetings as We
did in the past, that will bring
neither relief nor result.
The parish has just invested a
large amount 10 powerful tractor,
ditcher aud grader, this in the
proper hands will insure us good
roads oil the times, but unless
they are kept OF the roads by Po-
lice Jurors who are advocate of
good roads aud who understand
the necessity aud value of good
roads, it will prove a bad invest
ment.
The question now is for our
people to select two members for
the Police Jury for the first ward,
men they know will give them
what they have a right to ask,
the only thing they eau expect for
their tax money, good roads.
Now, business people, the mat
ter is with you, if you do not act,
you will have no reason to blame
the politicians in the future.

how. while going through the streets

been most unpleasantly impressed by
the detonation OF the exploding shells
--fifteen-ineh affairs from the queen

he had felt the uncomfortable desire
to stoop. An old Turk had seen this
