Concert and Masonic Ball.

The grand promenade concert and
ball of the Masonic fraternity of this
place, came off at Union Hall on Mon
day evening and was very pleasant
success to all concerned, and reflected
much credit upon the management. One
hundred couples were present. The oc-
casion was opened with the grand march
in which, with the regalia of the frater-
nifty and the toilets of the ladies, made
a very imposing and grand scene. The
music for this occasion was furnished by
Blaisdell & Ingalls, band of Concord,
N H. and was not only very excellent
but brought out very numerous expires
sions of the general favor with which it
was received, and the wish that they
may be heard here again.
Supper was served in Masonic Hall,
and was furnished and served by Col. A.
S Dunton, who on his bill of fare mod
estly called it refreshments, but which
was really very excellent, and included
a large variety of substantial as we'll as
many other nice things and delicacies,
all of which were well attested by the
more than two hundred people who par
took of them with very frequent remarks
of appreciation. Supper over the com
pany repaired to the hall where the fes,
tivities were closed at late hour, and
the annual Masonic ball of 1875 passed
into pleasant memories.

a noted one. Leon Dessins, the well

has also made new departure and
moved to the front. He has reno
waited and fitted up in extra fine style
the fine room Of the Placement story

cater to the luxurious wants of his

have all been repaired as good as
new, and a complete new set Of i'm
PIGMENTS have been added to his
shelves, and in this, his new home,
he intends, with renewed graces of
his art, to please and wait on his
friends. Surely such continued eff
forts to do the nice thing will be re-
membered and turned to the good ac-
count Of our Barber Shop.

RAIL ROAD.

Kali Road talk, nay, THIS time, hall
Road action,is again upon us. The
Crescent City, through its solid men
and capitalists, IS awakening to the.
dangers which threaten its cutting.
off Of two.thirds Of its legitimate
trade, and really now assumes some
tangible shape. A company has
been formed and organized, with a
round capital, and now talks bust
ness. The New Orleans papers are
full of it and have indicated by their
editorials that there is earnestness,
feasibility and unity in the underta-
king, and that at last our day, our
Rail Road day, has dawned. The
proposed road spoken of is to be built
from Marshall, Texas, to our Town,
and connect here with daily line of
steamers to New Orleans. In fact so
sure are the projectors that it will be
built inside of fifteen months, that
the New Orleans Bulletin already
writes encouragingly of the reduc-
tion of freights from this place down,
and extra tonnage to transport it to
New Orleans. All4this to us, who
have so often and so long advocated
a Rail Road and other civilized i'm
provements, is gratifying in the ex-
IRENE, and were we more aU tait in
this redemption act, we would give it
to our readers, specially the many of
them who have sided with us in this
question. Every line about it, which
we can find, we shall publish, know
ing full well better news could not be
promulgated.
AS much as we have favored Rail
Roads, and as much as we feel their
value in all respects, we now feelcor-
respondingly elated at the news we
convey to cur people in this article.
We have been too long imprisoned
and shackled in our march togpro-
gress, too long criminally neglecful
of proper advancements of our own
great resources, to remain longer idle
to the pointing of the finger board of
progress and sleep night andday the
sleep of sure death as regards our ri
sing to the majesty of the situation.
Everywhere we have had the good
example set us, but needed it not;
more than once has the tap of the
drum babe us start, but we have bolt
ed, and here we are almost distanced
in the race. Surely where there is
so much smoke there must be some
fire, and surely cold las we must now
be, we can afford to step up to this
fire and take little warming. We
are sure it cannot harm us, but may
thaw our inertness and remind us
! that we are still in and of the world,
and that we join those in the grand
march, who have not half our natural
advantages but yet make a better
showing in the business world. Lag
CARDS no longer in the race should we
remain, but by our new and improved
and natural efforts strive for mastery,
neck and neck, with the most adj
vanced. Everything is in our favor,
and nothing but our continued croak-
ing and supineness can rivet us lon
ger to our present dead stand STILL
Therefore, people of Rapides, wake
up, shake off all your bad doings and
rise to the present aspect Of facts
and morally, theoretically and will
|ingly join the ranks Of those who can
and would help you. ~ 8
