Brighter Outlook
Now Evident
Get w s s

Splendid reports from all bank
ing institutions, from every sec
ton of the State, and particular
ly from South Louisiana, follow
ing the report of the different
state banks, at the close of busi-
ness, the last day of the year, are
very encouraging. 1t appears to
have put considerable bit of pep
in the people, and in consequence
one can almost see things pick
up. Actually it is refreshing to
talk to people now, this week in
particular. Some fellows who here
tofore appeared to have the pip
seem to have been rejuvenated,
and have actually reached the
conclusion that conditions are not
bad, and that there is no reason
to have a hang dog look. If all the
merchants would get the boost
ing spirit, if all bankers would
talk cheerfully, and cut all the
mournful and bewailing impossi-
bilities out, things would be bet
ter than normal, and everybody
would get move, and we would
see things hum. In this town
proper things are good, building
activity has not ceased, there are
as many business places as we
had before, in fact more, and
none appear to be sued, or paying
collectors. Everything is all
right, if we will only say so.

All Canals Are
To Be Desired.

With no view of interfering
with any inland water project,
we mentioned the fact last week,
that without cost the Govern
ment could secure an immediate
water route from the Teche to
New Orleans, via Bayou Lafour-
che. Some may have understood
that we opposed the route via
Houma and Lockport, but such
was not the case. We desire and
want all the routes, but as this is
route is already established, and
could be secured just for the
removal of one lone bridge, we
saw no reason why the people
should be denied its use, and still
do not see the reason for this
convenience benig with held, or
denied the public at all. The more
water routes we get the better
for all concerned and we hope all
are secured. With routes from
Houma to Lockport and to Nor
gan City, the removal of the
bHidge over the Capcienne Canal
would give us one cs4nplete water
belt route, and water crafts could
move with a cargo one way, and
return the other, obviating the
necessity of returning over the
same route,

Fire. On Georgia
Plantation FTidav,

On Friday of last week there
was a destructive fire on Georgia
Plantation, down the bayou, pro-
perty of Charles Matthews. The
early rumors here, as is always
the case, were greatly exaggera-
ted and the total destruction of
the mill and all the sugar was re-
ported. The real fact was that the
hay barn had been totally des-
troyed. We understand that the
barn and it's contents represents
from twelve to fifteen thousand
dollars. There was. stored in said
building, besides hay and grain,
a new rice thresher, and three
self binders. The plantation is
well equipped to fight fires and
for this reason the loss was re-
stricted to the one building.

Want New Road
District Below.

Citizens below Lockuort are
exerting their efforts towards the
formation of another road dis
trict, to be known as Road Dis
trict No. 5, which would const'-
Itute that territory from Lock-
port to Larose, and from Larose
to a point two miles back from
the bayou to connect with what
| is commonly called the Bayou
Blue Road, giving Terrebonne an
other connection with lower La
fourche. Steps have been taken
to incorporate the said territory
into a district, with view OF vo-
ting a special tax, for the purpose
of gravelling or hard surfacine
the roadways therein.
