A PROMENADE. We heartily second
the proposition made by the Advocate,
that some of the grounds ON the Boule-
ward be enclosed and beautifed by the
planting therein of rare flowers, shrub
berry, etc. Baton Rouge needs such u
resort, which, centrally located as it
wenld be, would attract the attention of
every visitor to orr city. A handsome
wire fence would answer tho purpose,
and ~ a comparatively small cost, the
grounds conld be kept in the best of
order.

among those In attendance. On my ar
rival on the ground was considerably
surprised to find sdch large assem-
blage, believingyas did, that the meet
ing was OF rather local character, and
my first Impression was, upon seeing SC
many visitors from neighboring parishes,
rs well as from distant portions Of onr
parish, that nothing short of repeti-
ton Of the miracle Of the sloaves and
fishes could provide for and feed the
multitude. soon learned, however,
that orr Baptist fellow-citizens have a
good old-fashioned hospitable way Of
taking care of all those no matter how
great the number, that visit their meet
ings-the local committee Of jones'
Creek Church taking care fand assign
ing all visitors to places Of abode.
The proceedings were opened Oh Sat-
urday with prayer by Brother Simpson,

sermon, Rev, Parker preaching at night

SHINING TRAVELLERS - Two Baton
Rougeans had OCCASION to stop over for
dinner at Morgan City, and were led by
coiored porter from the train to an eat
ing house that tlourishes under the
name of tho 'Dew Drop They were
served with fried oysters, q piece of
steak, two fried eggs, cup of coffee,
each, aud bottle of logwood claret, for
which they were raised to the tune of
three dollars aud seventy-fve cents.
The bill was OF course paid without a
murmnr, with the mental reservation,
however, that nnsuspecting travellers
would be duly warned against the Dew
Drop arrangement. Our cnnfleres of

their promising town great service by
aiding to bust up such gougers.

gains from them as in the Northern
