THE TOWN ELECTION.

The election for Mayor and Board
of Aldermen of the town Of Madison
vile will be held April %, 1919, and
from the present indications Mayor
Octave ]. Oulliber will be reelected
without opposition. This will be ac-
cepted az a Unanimous endorsement
of his administration and a vote of
confidence in him to continue his
efforts to promote modern improve
ments. The citizens of Madisonville
should feel proud of their executive
officer, for | assure them the tenn
porary Workmen in the shipyard do.
The finances of the town are on a
solid basis and the work of improv-
ing the streets continues under the
personal supervision of the Mayor.
When these improvements are COM
pleted the streets of the town will
compare favorably with those of any
town in this section.
Nearly two thousand men of all
nationalities, attracted here by the
shipyard, pursued their business with
scarcely any friction and in a quiet,
orderly manner, owing to the firm
and Intelligent manner in which JUS
tice was meted out to them. The
town has an efficient Marshal in
Ulysses Wattley and no grass has
grown under his feet in pursuit of
evil doers. Mr. Oulliber is also JUS
tice Of the Peace OF the First Ward
and has been discharging the duties
Of these two positions for more than
sixteen years, which is a testimonial
in itself of his ability as an execu-
tive officer and his worth as a citizen.
THEO. DENDINGER, JR.,, POLICE
JUROR FOR WARD ONE.
The selection of Mr.. Theo. Dem
dinger, Jr., to be police juror Of the
First Ward, to fill the place made
vacant by the resignation of Mr.. Geo.
koepp, is highly gratifying to his
many friends throughout the ward.
Mr. Dendinger belongs to the
younger set of progressive citizens
and we bespeak for him success in
his new office. Madisonville is to be
eomplimented on taking care of her
older statesman and providing for
her younger one. Mr.. Koepp has
been in harness long time as police
juror for this ward and he goes into
the office Of Parish Treasurer ripe |
with experience and fully equipped |
TO give good account of himself.
The lives OF great men all re-
mind us,
We can make our lives sublime,
And in departing leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time"
