At two O'Clock this afternoon a very
dilapidated looking process on mean
dered through our principal streets,
headed by brass band seated in four
horse wagon, IN which was borne aloft
a banner upon which was inscribed this
legend: "The city of Nashville donated
fifty dollars; the city of Memphis three
Thousand five hundred dollars. The old
fogy must prevail" There were about
one hundred and fifty or two hundred
persons in the procession, consisting
principally of lOsfers and bummers,
with here and there q maiden Whs has
forfeited her right to appear in refined
society, and altogether the demonstra-
ton was of such a character as to give
rise to the hope that Nashville will not
have any similar displays inflicted upon
her in the future. For three years in
succession has Mardi Gras been OBJ
served here by demonstrations of the
most disgrsceful character, the streets
being linsd with drunken men and foul
mOuthed women until far into the night,
and this year the decent portion of the
community have very properly turned
deaf ear to opportunities for money to
aid in bringing about a repetition of such
disgusting scenes.
