thorough education of our youth.

popular stand, Mr.. VIM. NJ. Colgin, Dr..

Festival and Lectures at JeGnegeHc. -
The citizens of Jeanerette, always ready
to encourage anything in the shape Of
public Improvement, have nobly respond
ed to the call of the small Methodist
community of that vicinity to aid them
in building their new church. 1t is
now nearly complete, and to assist in
paying for the painting of tho new
structure, tho ladies are preparing to
give two most delightful entertain
ments, on the nights of Sept. 81 and p,
Friday and Saturday of nSrt meek. Rev.
A. E. Clay, a very popular and talented
young speaker, will each night open
with o lecture on some amusing yet
instructive subject, admission, only
after which refreshments will be
served by the ladies. The occasion
promises to be most delightful, and we
hope the general public will give these
good people a helping hand. New
Iberians, especially, should remember
the past liberality of Jeanerotte on
occasions, and send down a large
delegation.
