Lee Monument--FcstivaI az Ferry.

The ladies of the charming little village
of Terry and the immediate neighborhOod,
request us to say that acknowledging recon
struction in all its force, and thankful Tor a
re urn to ,nest State Government, they
propose, on Tuesday, the 9th of May, to
furnish an entertainment for the benefit OF
the LEE MONUMENT FUND. Richmond, Va
Their idea is to have dinner from two to
five O'Clock, P NJ, and supper at night with
music and dancing.
1t is understood that Mr.. Tribbit, the
large-hearted merchant has offered the use
of his newly finished and magnificent
store-house for the occasion; and that the
young gentlemen comprising the Terry
Brass and String Band, will furnish the
music.
The price of dinner and supper will be fif-
ty cents each.
1t is hardly necessary to say that the pro-
verbal go-aheaditiveness OF Terry, gives as
surance that all who attend this festiv,
will not only do honor to the memory OF
the illustrious Lee, but will get the full
worth of their money in the enjoy ments
which the occasion will afford.

their support this line hopes to break
down a monopoly that has driven

Capt Swain who is managing the
Planters Line has been at considera-

and he feels confident of his ability
to give entire satisfaction to them and
ask a share Of the business. We sin
cerely trust the Planters Reform Line

For the past ten days, we have he'd
. full exhibit Of tho farce Of Radical
government. The question is one
now simply Of self protection, as the
thicvipg, blackguard, charactcrless,
cowardly officials canslo nothing, nor
will they do anything to protect life
or property. The "ToSas boys" who
took the town last week, brutality
shot negro man, breaking his arm,
and not an officer of tho law raised
his official voice or power to punish
the evil doors. Day after day the
town presents scene sickening to
behold-drunkcn men hourishing pis-
tells and with lcmcn'ac yeils, threat
ening death to any man that "opens
his chops" The otlicers(N all rush
home, and are fast locked up in bed
rooms quaking as if with tho ague at
| every yell. And this is but tho open
ing OF tho reign of anarchy which the
Packard usucpation will surely plunge
this country into.

The publication of the VlNDl-
GATOR will be continued in 1877,
under new auspices. To success
fully carry out our plans to give
the people an able representative
parish journal, we must have their
cordial support. The Vindicator
should have at least one thousand
subscribers, in this parish, and if
we can secure the cooperation Of
it's friends, that number will be
reached. In future all subscrip.
lions must be paid in advance.
In no instance will we deviate
from this rule.
Let each subscriber to the VIM
dictator of 1876, make it his duty
to renew at once, and to get at
least one new subscriber besides,
for 1877.
We will issue in a few days ou1
prospectus for 1877, and oul
friends can in the mean time 60 to
work getting up new readers fol
1877. for the ViMicat0r.
