NEW ORLEANS, may ~, 1909.
Friend Den,ocrat:-Phere are few PEG
| pie in our State, or IN fact in the countr
who have travelled or read, that have no
heard Of "Sam's" on st Charles Stree
nearly opposite the St Charles Theatre
"Sam's" was famous for good oysters, goot
: wines and liquors, fine meats aud winds
served in style to suit the most exactin,
epicure. Then there was a good natnret
Jolly, "make yourself at home" air abou
Sans that made it as Infamous as Del
monico's, and drew within it's doors con
tinued tide Of customers-John EIio,
Mcclure, the proprietor Of Sans. in its
palmiest days, is dead, be died last week
and was buried with Masonic orders and
ceremonies, q very large number Of citizens
assisting on the occasion. Mcclure was a
generous, kind hearted man, good cjti-
Zen, a man OF energy and sterling worth.
He assisted in founding the Delta and
Crescent having been one Of the proprie-
tors OF each of them when they were first
started. They were. both papers, that be.
came very popular and in their day .exer-
ted wide influence with the people
throughout the South, and both, like the
old Vetran, are now numbered amongst
the things Of the past.
THE WEATHER
is frequent subject of conversation now
ia days, the continued GOODNESS, being mat
ter of speculation amongst our citizens.
Winter clothing is still very comfortable,
except in the middle of the day when the
sun warns up the air a little. For spring
and Summer wear Glynn & Wintz, dealers
in boots and shoes, No. 9 Camp Street,
have choice assortment of light and
seasonahle CATERS, shoes and bootees-I
saw pair of elegant bronze kid CATERS to-
day, that lady friend, had just received
from Glynn and Wintz, who made them
to order, on their own premises, and
never saw better fit or more elegant ar
ticle in that line. Their new slipper, for
which they were awarded blue ribbon at
the recent State fair, is very unique arti-
Gle and is becoming quite the rage. with
our city ladies. Mr.. Glynn knows his
business thoroughly, having served elgh-
teen years in the old house of Turnell & |
Co. and their cutter and filter, Mr. Phil
lips is one of the best, if not the best
10 the country.
