The grand fair for the benefit of the
Catholic Church at this place is in
progress, and there is no room to
doubt that it will in every way meet
the expectations of Rev. Father Cup
pens and his co-laborers in the pre-
parations for and conduct of the en-
tertainment. The liberal manner in
which the people of this vicinity
whether Catholics or members of other
religious denominations always
patronized and encouraged similar
projects in aid of the same good cause,
is ample assurance that the present
occasion will prove no exception to
the rule. The funds realized from
this fair, it is understood, will be
applied towards the completion of the
new church edifce now in process OF
erection, which promises to be con
spicuous ornament to DGnaldSonville
and source of pardonable pride to
the large Catholic element of the
community.
