father Mr. Sam Landernean
upon his farm, on Boeuf River
in Ward Eight of this Parish,
where he has erected a wireless
station. and receives the news
of the world at first hand.
The station was erected some
time ago, according to the orl-
gional ideas and plans of the
young man. and already he has
taken messages relaid at Nash
vile, Tenn, that were sent out
from Colon, and other points far
away. 1t is of frequent occur
rance that he receives storm re-
ports sent out from the different
stations in the south seas, and
keeps we'll posted on orders sent
from sub-stations in Mexico fol
Perishing expedition army.
What Allen Landerneau has &C.
complised, is but the results Of
study and application, thought
and labor, applied to something
worth while.
We bespeak for our young
friend, unbounded success, and
sincerely trust that he may reap
a bountiful harvest, as the pro.
duct of his industry, and intel.
legence. The future holds hon.
ors for such a boy. May his life

Clean Up Columbia.

SASaA =
The cX,t;iuon Of cling tie
streets TO keep down the dust,
and improve the looks OF town,
was tried out by Mr.. c. P. Car
roll, of the hardware store, and
proved so successful that our en-
terprising citizen, Mr.. David
Dunn, called on the business men
who contributed literally the
amount of money neccessarytooll
the principal business streets OF
the town, and the work has been
completed. This has gone far
to relieve the dust in the bust
ness section of the town, and has
added greatly to the appearance
of our streets and comfort OF the
people.
This move on the part of our
business men should cause our
Town Council to realize that the
property taxpayers are going to
have a cleaner Columbia. They
should at once appropriate the
money necessary and start at
once, the work of improving side
walks, cutters and repairing
the bridges before the Fall rains
set in. They should also pass a
riggid ordinance forcing proper
ty owners to clean up and
keep clean their respective side
walks, vacant lots and back allys
as some of them are dreadful un-
sanitary.
There is a difference of opinion
as to whether or not looks makes
the man.; but there is no dis.
agreement upon the fact that
good appearance does no harm,
and thesame thing holdsgoodwith
towns, villages and community.
A person seeing Columbia for
the first time will judge it by the
appearance of its main streets.
He may only spend a few hours
in town, which is the case will
scores of commercial travellers
and whatever he says of Col.
umbia will be based on appear
ance.
Beauty and cleanliness ar
essentials that go a long way t,
make up happiness and prospect
ty. A we'll dressed man O.
woman attracts attention, ant
leaves a better impression tina
does the slovenly dressed person
so it is with a town.
People are passing through
Columbia every day, many o
whom are strangers, who hav,
never been here before, other
come here regular from tn
country, where they do thei
trading and meet friends, and t.
see a brighter, cleaner town
would certainly be pleasing t
them.
We often wander what strang
ers rearly think of Columbia
Does it appear attractive? Ar
the streets and vacant lots suc]
as to stir their admiration? Tn
Waterman is forced to say the,
do not.
The people Of Columbia de
mand these Improvements and tn
Town Council should meet tn
demand, which we believe the
will do, and when it is done W
can truthfullY say well done
good and faithful servants, an
unto you will be all honor an
praise.
Let our old town become
thing of.beauty and ajoy forever
a place worth living in, a plac
worth loving while life lass,
place where we would not b
ashamed to be buried in, or nea
unto.

Good Roads Tax Election

! Tuesday, Oct, 10, 1916, is gooc
roads tax election day in wards |,
I2,S,9 and 10. This is the day the
tax payers and property owners
will bring Caldwell up in the
same class with other parishes
throughout the state in the way
of good roads building.
The writer feels that the voters
are mindful Of this much needed
and all important Improvement,
and we do not believe there will
be a dissenting vote cast al
Tuesdays election.
AS we have stated before,
it is impossible to numerate tn"

not be benefited theretrom We
repeat what an exchange has to
say.
After Mantee county Fla,
hal constructed ga miles OF
Macadam anG shell highway, the
land along the road increased
more than $50 an acre in less
than two ylas and land a mile
away from the road showed an
increase of SO an acre. In
Wood county, Ohio, where land
has oeen drained and bounded by
limestone pixies, the values have
risen from $40 to $3.50 an acre.
In view of these facts, the
voters then, who may live a few
miles from the main highway,
should take a broad view of the
advantages to be derived, and
not let the opportunity pass, to
enhance the value of their prop
erty, besides reap a harvest from
other advantages that will sure
ly flow therefrom.
