.BOGUE FALAYA
PARK HAS NEW
PAVILION.

The new Park Pavilion has beea
completed and other improvements
to Bogue Falaya Park are being con-
sidered. Probably there is no other
work that would bring greater pub
lie appreciation. The warm days of
summer are fast approaching and it
will be a welcome resting place IN
the heat of the day and fine sport
for the children in the afternoon.
Swinging seats have been donated by
quite a number, and we shall tell
something of the donors when the
list is completed. 1t is a kind of
public spirit that counts.
DR.. Stevenson has presented plans
for the gate and these are beng
gone over by the Park Commission.
The entrance to the park will be
much improved when the gate is
built

winning recognition for the public
service it IS performing. The big
interests of the parish are always
the first to recognize the Importance
of such work. Mr.. Fletcher, the
lecturer, made it very plain in his
talk at the dinner and in his lecture
at the Chautauqua in the evening
that no community can build itself
up without the cooperation OF its
citizens and business men.
In this connection the following
letters will prove of interest:
Covington Association of Commerce,
CoVington, La.
Gentlemen:- letter of May
10th received, with enclosed report
of the activities of the Association.
Consider this splendid work and that
the Association is doing the kind nf
work which will greatly help all citi-
zens of our parish.
Consider that other companies
with large interests in this parish
should be members, and will no
doubt be pleased to join the Coving-
ton Associat on of Commerce in the
event they are not already members.
Consider your plans and actual
active methods of assisting the farm
ers to sell their farm produce, as
we'll as other assistance and help
given the farmers, is of great ben ent
to all of the parish.

Ramsay, La, May, 1920.
To the Association of Commerce,
Covington, La.
will haVp to o1
nit that the Covington Association
of Commerce is doing moer in as
sisting our parish and community in
progress and development than any
other organization we know Of, and
in my opinion it has done more n
the last 81 Xmonths than It has done
all time previous. This goes TO
show that the Association is growing
more, and taking more interest In
the welfare of our parish.
A number Of things could be men
toned that have been accomplished
thru the assistance Of the CovingtoE
Association Of Commerce, and
mention particularly that Of market
ing the first car load of syrup, which
was the first to leave the parish; aisJ
the operation of potato curing
pant and shipping several car loads
of potatoes. These two articles are
about the most staple articles of the
parish. Therefore thru the efforts
of the Association Of Commerce
growing of syrup and potatoes has
been stimulated.
The Association will not stop on
just syrup and potatoes, but every
effort is being put forth towards the
betterment of the parish both In
growing and manufacturing indus
tries. / am n favor of giving the
Association the proper cooperation,
and if every other person will do
likewise, it will be just matter OF a
few years until we will see many
benefits derived therefrom. We have
a wide field to work in, and a good
organization behind it. So lets all
get together and cooperate with the
Coyington Association of Commerce.
Yours truly,
