pari, Henry, Col. Jack and others were
among the able delegation from Natclll-
tocbes. In the last few years parttcu-
larry thai parish is bringing to tho sur

claims of Natchitoches will be recognized
by other portions of the State.
The composition Of tho Convention
was of ID very superior order. FROM
every parish it did seem as though the
delegates had been selected from among
the most intelligent and patriotic OF
their citizons. Certainly on no previous
occasion have we seen body of men OF
more respectable appearance than were
the large majority OF its members. L"'l'-

pendent Silver Cornct Band, if it did II,
prove financial success was a most bri

The fireworks were most beautiful al
the music most charming. With Il
handsome ladies in attendance amid Il
dazzling multi-colored lights glisteni1
everywhere through the foliage the see

happy to say, however, that everythi
passed off in the most agreeable mann
imaginable. Much credit is due the
dies and managers who superintend
