Tax -Use OIL GLUT BIN OIL THE NEWS FIT TO PRINT IN Dear Editor: The Little Man has been told to stand in the corner for sticking' his head in the above picture, and making that awful pun. He hereby apologizes to your. readers, as.
well as maybe the New York Times However, one day last week both the Supreme Court's decision on the First-Use Tax and OPEC's troubles with their oil glut was all the oil news fit to print that day. One Man's Opinion An interesting Sam Hanna by wildlife enthusiasts for a public wildlife area, the countryside is clear. You can see for miles and miles in areas that once sported the largest deer herd in Louisiana. This valley between the Mississippi and Ouachita happens to be one of great beauty, despite the land clearing. It offers beauty because there are so many bayous, lakes and streams.
Driving through the southern part of Richland Parish, there is one particular section bordering the Boeuf River that looks like it's never been touched. The river is clear and is bordered by trees. The Mason Ridge that runs from Franklin on into West Carroll Parish stands out distinctly, because on each side of it the land is flat. In that part of this area, the soil is sandy and white, in stark contrast to the Delta where the land is black, and also richer. Bayou Mason is the boundary between Tensas and Franklin, and it also serves as the boundary between Franklin and Madison.
When yp4 cross it into Madison, the country out there is more like all this part of the state used to be; the woods are still standing. Driving back south down 15, The Richland Beacon- News The sight of fields burning in this section of Louisiana is unusual. In recent days, if you've driven through the countryside, you've seen it. After the wheat is harvested, the farmers burn the stubble, or cain, in preparation for the next crop either soybeans or cotton. In short, a new approach to farming has arrived in Northeast Louisiana.
The good ground, or soil, that will produce two crops is being utilized. Personally, I do a great deal of driving in this area of Louisiana, primarily on highway 15, back and forth from Ferriday to Winnsboro. But I also drive the back roads just about every Sunday afternoon with my dad, who is now 88 and became spoiled to typical Sunday afternoon drives with my mother before she passed away. To break the boredom of driving highway 15), we often take the back-country route through Tensas Parish, cutting off north of Waterproof, across past Cooter's Point and on into Franklin Parish. Out there, the farmers are doublecropping.

The flat farm land runs into the hills, and the spring at the Norris hills is still trickling after all these years. The water is cool and clear. Crossing the Ouachita at Harrisonburg is not like being in Louisiana, because Harrisonburg is so old and historic it seems it could fit in Virginia where this nation was born. The land from Harrisonburg to Jonesville is low and floods easily, but it's obviously the most developing area of Catahoula. New homes are in abundance, and trailer homes.
are everywhere. I would be remiss, too, in not mentioning that back out there in the country, where life was once hard, the people are living the good life. There are many, many new and beautiful homes, some with swimming pools, most with large luxury cars parked in front. There are other interesting sites throughout our section. You can't believe the number of churches in the country.
In some areas of our back country there seems to be a church on every 40 acres. And I have become a cemetery buff. Except for legal documents in the courthouses, there is more history in the cemeteries than any place I know. There's an old church with a cemetery in Tensas that dates back to post Civil War days, and then there's another in Franklin that once was used for the courthouse, somewhere back around 1850. It's an interesting countryside out there, still abundant with natural beauty and history', although 'the land is being used differently.
The people are living differently too. Sunday School 9:45 Morning Worship 11:00 a.m. Evening Worship 7:00 p.m. Sunday School 9:30 Training Union 10:15 Morning Worship 11:00 Evening Worship 6:00 p.m Wednesday Prayer Service 7:00 Sunday Bible Class 10 a.m. Morning Worship 11 a.m.
