A ROAD TO TIE BAYOU . th
MACON HILLS. wi
- on
BAuF.R.D-DEMOCRAT :-There is a an
matter of public interest to the town gih
and parish which I had hoped some an
of you papers would take up, a mat- ca
typr,Wbich I consider now paramount hbl
to any other as concerns our mate
rial development. I refer to a GOOD Pr
[ULT nOAI, to the Bayou Macon Hills.
The writer is reliably informed by
one of the police jurors of West ref
Carroll that they are anxious for a ufi
road to Lake Providence and that de
they, would join with us in building de
a bridge across Bayou Macon and be
build and rnaintain a road. Lake it
Providence is the nearest and best mof
market for our West Carroll friends, on
and now that we are soon to have a ea
railrbad, this will be their nearest R. an
R. depot.. wi
Wit a good road to West Carroll th
we would get 90 per cent. of the pr
trade fror that parish and ship all to
of its cotton. The railroad touching pi
the rije'yhere makes this a compet
ing. point; whereas we have been gi
paying local river rates we will now nE
get through rates-a difference of fa
shbout 33 1.3 per cent. in freight as 51
compared to what we are now pay- Ic
ing. This item alone will cause SI
West Carroll merchants to have their
goods shipped here. Again-here ce
is all our back country, through of
which this road will pass, is being th
rapidly reclaimed, and it will be as
only a question of a few years when.
this road question will co
them. It doeeswt Tiae A et to
tell us that this back country is the
coming country. It is now being g
rapidly cleared up and rehabitated.
Good roads do more for a country
than any other agency. By fall we in
will have a railroad, oil mill, ice to
factory, another bank and perhaps w
other industries. Now we want good di
roads for people who want to buy te
our goods to come to us. We want
good roads throughout the parish,
especially to the Bayou Macon hills. at
Suppose, to get this matter in er
shape, we begin here in Lake Provi- p,
dence and get our town council to at
start the ball, then go to our police di
Jury and ask them for help. All th
these gentlemen are broad gauged SL
lilberal minded men, and let us and s
the town council and the police jury m
and West Carroll and our mgrdhants at
come together and say that we have gi
got to have a good dirt road to bi
the Bayou Macon hills-and we
will get it. fu

Governor Heard has recommend- gi
.ed that an appropriation of *100,. -a
000 be made by the General Assem- vE
bly' for a creditable exhibit of si
the resources of the State at -the si
World's Fair at St. Louis. This
icmount should be increased $50,000 Ct
so that a creditable exhLbit can be e
made.
The, citizens of Tensaas parish met
on Tuesday last and organizied the ti
Tensas Cotton Compress Company.
All the stock has been subscribed.
The location is to be at St. Joseph. T
This little city is going to be a
strong competitor of Lake Provi
dence, and the citizens of our town
will have to keep their eyes open. h
Providence 13. Vicksburg 5.
The game of ball between the Lake tl
Providence and Vickshburg temss last f
Tuelsdlay was a complete victory for n
the home team. Providence outplayed c
the visitors all around. They had the
better battery, and the fielding was
good. Vicksburg's battery, on the v
other hand, was rapped at will, and the t
fielders fumbled the ball five or six i
timues, resulting in scores for the locals a
Birdsong and Angello, for the home d
team, did splendid work. The best
batting was done by Pittman, who was
not falnted a single time. In ,fact. r
batting seemed to be a soft t hing; and '
every time the sphere went flying out
into the field, the rooters raised the I
roof. r
McGee, of the visitors, pitched a
good game and caught well behind the
bat, but his team did not come up to
last3'at's aggregation
The following is a partial record of
the game by innings:
1st inning--O Sullivan made the
first error, muefing tho bll on lt
base. Hlill malde a fine catch in center
field. "

ells fly. O'Sullivan stole home. Re-.

4th inninu-Pittman sent the ball

There is nofe to be lost, and as or
Ts' the gentlemen bave learned so much thO

that our citiseas can enter into that m,

ke it would be greatly to the advantage p
of the Fair Association, and add in. m
measly to the attractions to be found c(
a on the grounds to name the datesa as <t

ow narish fair And $100 for each district
of fair.
It is always understood the amounts n
subscribed by thb ;.,partment are. to j,

ind sideration these two important ele- tp
fry ments in the agricultural and live t
te stock development- of the State and tl
tve give liberal premiums for exhibits el
of high class animals of these different sI

sire whatever to dictate to the Asso- t1
