extensive radius of fertile country, enjoying
daily communication with the Southern me-
tropolis both by railroad and steamboats,, and
is thriving town of constantly increasing
size and business Importance,
In such a town is the CHIEF published,
and its devotion to the interests of the COM
munity has gained for it o degree of popu-
larity and a circulation which are very graft
flying to the conductor, and which render it
an Invaluable medium for advertisers, both
local and foreign, who desire to address
themselves to the people of this section
What gives additional value to the CHIEF
and commends it the more both to the ad-
vertising and reading portion of the public, is
the fact that it has been designated by the
proper authorities

Second Union Band Society at Mr..
James Citizens place, a short dis
lance down the bayou, last Saturday,
which was largely attended by old
and young people of both sexes, and
proved to be a most pleasant and
successful entertainment. Refresh
ments were served in bountiful pro-
fusion, and the younger people amused
themselves and all the others with
numerous games and sports. Adj
dresses were made by c. N. Lewis,
Pierre Landry, C. Hunt and C. Bry-
ant, and were warmly received by
the audience. Not single incident
occurred to mar the perfect harmony,
and all who attended went away i'm
proved by the social intercourse with

are productive of nothing but good
feeling in community, and can hard

Last Monday, August 5th, at
o'clock A. NJ, Elizabeth Verret, wife
of Mr.. John M. Knight, the gentle
manly agent of the railroad company
at this place, breatlled her last after ii
long and painful illness. Mrs. Knight,
during her short residence in Donald
sonville, had gained many warm
friends and acquaintance, among
whom she was much loved and re-
spected, and her death was by them
universally inourned. Deceased was
a native of Terrebonne parish, where
the Verrets are reckoned among the
first families, and her remains were
conveyed thither fer interment, leav-
ing here on Mondays train. To the
stricken husband and bereaved
relatives the death of this most estim-
able lady has proven a severe blow,
and their only consolation in this their
hour of trial is to remember that she has
only gone before to await them in the
realms of bliss above, where sorrow
and tribulation cometh not; "where
the wicked cease from troubling, and
the weary are at rest;" where friends
meet to be parted neyermOre.
