PARKING Law PROPOSED.

The Chief takes pleasure in con-
graduating the commission council
upon Its action in proposing at it's
last meeting, an ordinance to regu,
late the parking of cars In the con-
gested parts of the two principal
thoroughfares of the city. The or
dinance provides that in Mississippi
street, between Crescent Place and
Church street, cars may be parked on
the south side only, and in Railroad
avenue between Mississippi and Clai-
borne streets. on the east side only.
Parked care must be headed in the
direction of traffic, with the front
wheel resting against the curbing at
an angle of foity-tive degrees. No
car may be parked within twenty feet
Of an intersecting street The or
dinance in a good one and meets with
general approval. Its enforcement
win greatly reduce the danger to
life and limb which is ever present
by permitting cars to park promiscu-
ous1y on both sides of these streets.
1t is very much to be hoped that it
viii be finally adopted when 1t comes
up before the next meeting Of the
council.

Miss Trista Bringier has returned
from several weeks stay in Phila-
delphia, New York and Atlantic City.
DR.. j. T. Bringier attended a
meeting of the school board held at
Oak Grove last Tuesday. The doc
tor is a new member of the board.
John Lapeyrolerie of Dreyfus, a
small acreage" rice planter, was an
interested spectator at the confer
ence of rice growers at Donaldson-
vile last Monday.
Among those from this section en-
gagged in rice growing as a perman-
ent business and not in an aniteurish
way, who attended the rice confer
ence in Dona1dsonville last Wednes-
day are Clement Brou, Octave Brou,
Edgard ]. Waguespack and J. F..
Torregrossa.
This section has suffered from too
much rain for the safe harvesting Of
eight dollars a barrel rice. The
damp conditions under which the
cereal is threshed will cause many
sacks to reach the market and run
the gauntlet of the Board of Trade
of lower grades that will sell for less
than the fixed price of eight bucks.
Every indication points to an early
fall, not of the river, nor of the
weather, but of the prices of staples
of food to bring down the high cost
of living. There should be much re-
joicing at the merry downward chase
given to the inflated, profteering,
gouging prices charged the helpless
consumers during the past twelve
months on such neeessaries of life as
Hour, rice, beans, coffee, potatoes,
sugar, meat, lard, ETC., also clothing
and shoes. May the same fate befaIl
the profiteers that smashed the fool
barber who attempted to ride Niagara
Falls in tub.
It is more than seven years since
lightning destroyed the oil tank at
this place containing 5000 barrels of
oil. Since then this section has
been free from visitations of the at
mospheric electricity so dangerous to
life and property. However, last
Wednesday, a bolt descended on al
one cotton tree, situated within
forty feet of the railroad station and
water tank. The bark of the tree
vas badly shattered, while one OF
Dr. Miles warning signs "No hunt
ng allowed" nailed TO the tree was
eft intact.
