There has been a great deal Of dis.
teussioA over the cleaning of Round
M-Way Bayou on both sides, north
(sud east Of Tallulah, and through the
lefty and south about fourteen miles.
4 Il Is scarcely necessary to discuss
This from the standpoint as purely a
business matter in addressing the
fbobllc, that means that everybody is
/ mofp or less interested, a large
humber directly 80 and everyone else
Indirectly. The benefit. ae-'vna ~ ~
lie matter in view could scarcely be
|ms3e. After cleaning of the Bayou
n dAm could be constructed west of
kthe bridge, or rather, west of both
bridges. wagon bridge and railway
bridge and make a lake say eighteen
|niles in length. In doing this we
I3ould get rid Of the mosquitoes along
ItAat channel. It Is well known fact
|khat . body Of water not running is
Inothing less than q pool for mos.
{luitoes. "A lake could be utilized as
u Ash pond. and fish live largely from
{ths larva Of the mosquito, and this
fould be used as 2 transportation en-
|terprise from both ends Of the lake.
"a beautiful lake lying on both sides
lind through the town Of Tallulah will

4 This matter, ~ above stated, has
Been discussed for years, and in my
opinion there b no better time than
Tie present to put the matter in

Relatively at small cost, and as above
eated. the benefits derived will be
Utmost incalculabde.

covered and remedies are suggested.
Parents leave the contest knowing
more about their children than they

are given a better start in life be-

There are three forms OF this
name Gardiner, Gardner and
Gardener. Gardener is rare.
Gardner is said to bo the piebeian
form while the Gardinors Rre said to
be aristocrats. That ut least Is tho
saying in England. where II un-
doubtodly was first circulated by
some one who spelled his name
Gardiner. Whatever the spelling,
the origin was undoubtedly in tho
calling of tending a garden. Tho
form De Gardino was sometimes
found in early records.
Lion Gardiner ia especially inter
