PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
We have inspected the Court House,
the Jail and the st. Mary Central
High School building, all in the town
of Franklin, and we find all the build
ings ia excellent condition. The Jail
is clean, sanitary and exceptionally
we'll kept; the curt house building is
neat and in splendid good order, and

mendatiOn should be said of Mr.. w.
L. Peterman, the custodian of these
buildings, and we take this occasion
to express our appreciation Of Mr..
care in keeping the court
house, the Jail ana the public grounds

We find that the Road Commission.
the members o: the Police Jury and
the other officials and employees. who
have this work in hand are giving
to same their best thought and time,
and we take this occasion to express
our confidence in the members of this
the Police Jury and the
Engineers in charge of the work, and
believe that they will finally give the
people of the Parish good road at
the least possible expense.
We recommend to the public gene
rally that they be patient in their judg-

and accord them an oppol tunity to
demonstrate their honesty and ability
in the handling of the work, and the
money necessary to its completion.
We wish to thank the Court and all !
other officers for the courtesies and as

heir hands during our labors.
