cause of the lack of good highway con-
nections. Castor has Suffered be-
cause of its isolation. But now there
seems to be group Of determined
men. who have resolved to overcome
this isolation.
The commercial conditions justify
this change. Surrounded on all sides
Ivy splendid hill farms. running down
to Black Lake on the west, Castor Is
assured of abundant trade Of per.
manent character. But this is not all

engineer ]. NJ. Semmes Is constructing
80 miles of modern graded highway in
Ward 5; one road follows the L. 4
A., while the other crossing It from
the west at Castor continues on east
toward Bienvil!e. They have about
$50 mules, and men and implements
in proportion, actually at work. We
consider this a very severe blow at
the tax and good roads kicker.
We feel that there is no community
in the parish that can boast Of a
better school, There seems to be not
discOrdant note; the people seem t(
be united in their support OF the
school. TO Mr.. H. N. Hays, the schOo
board member, to Mr.. w. NJ. Caskey
the principal, and to the loyal support
of Supt. E. H. Fisher goes much OF
the credit for this hopeful outlook
and present splendid condition. Space
will not allow Us to mention the many
other loyal friends and patrons who
have laid the foundation and are 10y
ally staying by the school. There are
about three hundred in school now and
with the improved ioad conditions
there can be at least so moro added t
that number.
But the churches muss not be for
gotten. There are some real chris
tians here. Both the Methodist and
Baptist people have comfortable, com
modious places Of worship, which We
shall soon hope to see enlarged. Btu
the Methodist pastor, Rev. E. J. Buck
and the Baptist pastor, have groups
Of real loyal people. 1......
Every feature which is necessary fol
the building Of a good community, fol
the development Of real men and wo
men seem now to be bountifully as

to steady push forward In ali oul
lines for community uplift.
