The Excursion and Picnic last
Monday, under the auspices of the
gentlemen of the Pacific Railway at
this point, near the Harris place,
was decidedly pleasant. 1t was i'm
possible, for US to be one of the par
ty which we regretted. There was
not very large crowd, but it was
all the more pleasant,on that &C
count. The young folks enjoyed the
dancing on the green, and especially
the rideeback home on the "loco" by
moonlight.

Orders through the Postofiice will
receive prompt attention.
-MUcH of our space is taken up
this week with the proceedings of
The Police Jury. Their session was
rather a lengthy one. They have
appointed road syndics throughout
the Parish, and it is to be hoped that
our roads will be worked o little
more than they have been in the
past. They have also ordered an I
election on the 81 day of August, to
take tie voice and sentiment of the t
people as regards the total absti- I
hence of wliskey. This is ques-
ton which will require mature de l
liberation on the partsof some of our
townspeople, before they vote for or
against the passage of this law. A ,
struggle is likely to ensue.
