MIR. J. G. Grisson of the 7th ward
WAS visitor to st. Joseph this week.
Mr.. Grisson is very much interested
i'm having q bridge built over Little
Tensas Bayou, to afford convenient
means OF getting to Waterproof and
other points. At present q Hat is
used to cross vehicles and foot pas
sengers, and the bayou is very low
and the bank steep, making it difficult
to reach the fat with q buggy or car.
As so many new people have come
into the 7th ward, and travel in that
neighborhood has become SO great,
the Police Jury should take the mat
ter of building bridge over Little
Tensss under consideration, as same
is greatly needed.
No. 900 will cure Chills and Fever.
It's the most speedy remedy we know.
