REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN CLUB.

Its Session at the N. E. Church--Elec-
ton Of Delegates to Municipal Nom
mating Convention.
The Republican assembly at the NJ.
f. Church was much more numerously
attended than its rival at the Court
House, though the proceedings were
less harmonious and methOdical that
those of the latter. The balloting for
delegates to the Nominating Conven
ton showed over eighty voters present.
After Il little preliminary discussion
upon the Merchants Ticket" just
nominated at the Courthouse, the
business of the meeting was entered
upon-to-wit: the selection of two
delegates from each ward to form a
Republican Convention for the nomi-
nation ofcandidates for the various mu-
nicipal Offices.
Messrs. Jos. Burbridge and L. f.
Bentley were selected from the LIST
ward without opposition.
Messrs. Wilkinson, Robert Noel, H.
0. Maher and o. Mollere were placed
in nomination from the End ward, and
upon a division Of the house the two
first named were found to have a ma
jority.
Messrs. Victor Gabrielle and Jas.
Jerrys6nllivan, Jr., were chosen from
the Bird ward without opposition.
After an address from Hon. Pierre
Landry the meeting adjourned until
next Saturday evening, it being I'M
derstood that ticket would be formed
by that time for their approval or re-
lection.
The members elect to the Nomina-
ting Convention met together after
the adjournment and resolved to as
| semble in convention at the Court
House, next Wednesday afternoon, at
4 o'clock, and form a ticket. Such of
our citizens as feel interested in the
result Of the proceedings are cordially
invited to attend at the Courthouse
at the time specified.
We believe the delegates selected
all recognize the Importance of the
duty that will devolve upon them in
the nomination of candidates, and we
trust they will throw aside any per-
sonal predictions, ambitions or an
imosites that may stand in the way of
the formation of good ticket which
will possess sufficient prestige of sue
cess to make it worth the while for
our Republican citizens to 60 to the
polls on election day and cast their
ballots in its favor.

Preparations are going forward for
the two Fairs to be given in our town
next month. The Bayou Goula Brass
Band has accepted the invitation ex-
tended them to be present at the d.
S. C. B. Fair, and the Napoleonville,
Thibodaux and Labadieville bands
will doubtless do likewise-we under
stand they have all been invited: In
consequence of several members Of the
Ascension Brass Band being in mourn
ing for deceased relatives, that organ
ization will not attend the Fair. 1t
may be well to mention in this con-
nection that Rev. Father Coupons
did not forbid the attendance Of I'll.
St. Cecilia Band because the Hall in
which the Fair is to be given has been
devoted to theatrical purposes, but
because it has been used as ball
room.

formaucs at this place last Friday We

well performed and had your correspOn-
dent, ''Sha zespear,' of Newton Falls,
been present, We think he would not
criticised quite as sharply as he did thrO'
the "CHRoNICLE," after this club gave
an exhibition at that place a few weeks
age. Though many of his hints were
true, yet Mr.. "Shskespear" should re-
member that even the best of dramatic
performers would be embarrassed in a
hail where there are no conveniences
whatever. And until the people of
Newton Falls can afford a suitnble hal,
as they ought to have, they cannot ex-
rect any drama to be well played
But to return to our last Friday eve
ning's performance. The drama was well
played, with a few exceptions, and the
paddy Miles Boy was decidedly
good, and drew out loud applause, being
acted by one who could scarcely make q
mistake in playing the freshman The
exhibition closed with a very laughable
''burlesque,'' 1.-THE South Carolina Bar
Der Shop" which was well performed.
The third entertainment of this club will
lie performed at this place next Friday
evening, Feb. 2sth. Come up, Mr.. Shake
spear, and if the barber shop is open you
shall have a free shave. +. J..

God LOreth ms Cheerful Glrer -

Editor CaRoNICL.E:-The undersign-
ed would desire to express our most
hearty thanks to the people of Hartford
for their recent kind remembrance. On
the 4th inst, many of them gathered at
our house for a social visit. They all
seemed to be fulLof kindness, and Il en-
joy themselves very much. Their kind
words aud deeds eheered our hearts, and
very much encouraged US in our work
for Christ and the people. They left be-
hind them, besides the good cheer, finan-
cial evidences Of their regard to tue
amount of over fifty dollars. Some who
were necessarily detained, have since
increased the amount to over sixty dol
lars. Believing that these gi.ts wera
made for Christ's sake, we are sure they
will not lose their reward.
May Heavens richest blessing rest
upon all this people, both those who
came and those who did not come, uni
ting our hearts more closely to one anoth.
er and to Christ. J. B. DAVIDSON.
