The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1877-09-15

| NEWSPAPER NoTEs.-After two
weeks suspension, caused by litiga-
ton relative to the ownership of its
printing material, the Morehouse
Clarion reappears under it's former
management, in slightly diminished
size. Judge ID. /. Norwood has be-
come sole proprietor of the paper, and
has leased it to Messrs. Schroeder s.
MeFarlin.
The able pen of Hon. w. Jasper
Blackburn is not to be lost to Louisi-
ana journalism after all. Mr.. Black
burn has removed from Homer to
Minden, and will issue paper at the
latter place, to be called the Webster
Statesman. We trust ample success
may attend the new venture.
The Claiborne Guardian succeeds
the Homer Ilidd, under the proprie-
torship of Messrs. Simmons g. Co.
The new journal has not favored rs
with an exchange.
The Iberia Progress has not put in
an appearance for several weeks and
we infer that the enterprising organ
has gone the way of all things mortal
and newspaporial. We shall miss its
radiant patent outside, its rather less
brilliant innard pages, and the famil-
lar Town Council proceedings which
have formed the leading article of the
editorial page since the 18th of July,
1876. The Progress was one of the
very few Republican papers left ITO
tell the sad tale of the recent political
Waterloo that filled their sanctums
with lamentation and gave the oppo-
sition shake at the official printing.

company of friends, and were remind
ed that that vas the fifth anniversary

a cordial welcome, they brought for
ward their offerings, which consisted
of variety of wooden ware, such as
baskets, rolling pins, brackets, brooms,
ETC.. and Mr.. and Mrs. Afford were in
formed that the meeting was in honor
of their wooden wedding. With their
hearts filed with gratitude, Mr.. and
Mrs. Afford responded very happily,
expressing the joy they felt in seeing
their friends gathered around, in such
fraternal group. A liberal supper
was provided by the friends.
The company, consisting of all young
people, spent their time in playing,
and singing, and many kisses were ex-
changed, although out of season for
cherries, a great quantity were picked
that night, and they seemed to be very
sweet, judgins from the pleased look

The party retired, about one o'clock
in the morning, all feeling that the
evening had been pleasantly spent.

Temperance Items.


The Temperance" interest in Van
lUe has been on the increase for the
past few weeks, the church is well filed
Oh every occasion, with both old and
young, who are energetic, willing
workers in this great cause.
Through the instrumentality of Mr.
Wall Siddall, well known throughout
this county, a Temperance Reform
Club was instituted here on the 18th
inst.
We will never forget the sad stories
told by Mr. Siddall, Thomas Scott and
Rev. Eastman, of the years of their
wasted lives, loss of property &c, caus.
ed by drunkenness. These men are
RoU and have been, for some time
past, doing all in their power to do
away with this terrible evil.
Our village numbers about three
hundred inhabitants, and only one
saloon. Find US another town of this
size that can say the same.
Mrs. s. A. Strother, OF Findlay spent
a day or two with us recently. Her
remarks on Temperance" were well
received. MORE ANON.
