The Lake Charles echo. [volume] (Lake Charles, Parish of Calcasieu, La.) 1876-1898, 1883-03-24

n the history Of Lake Charles we
do not believe there is 50 striking an
example Of what industry, honesty Of
purpose and strict business integrity.
can accomplish, than is presented in
the success which has attended the
above named gentlemen since the Be-
ginning Of their mercantile career In
eur little city. Some four years ago
now, Messrs. Kaufman & Bloch loca-
ted among us and began business in
their present quarters. They had
small stock and very limited capital. Ii
was coon evident, however, that they
were not only thorough business men,
but courteous, accommodating gentle
men, ready at all times, as far as con.
sistency would allow, 10 lend their aid
toward any and every enterprise calcu-
lated To stimulate the growth and
prosperity Of their adopted town and
section. Nor was this al. No worthy
object of charity has ever appealed to
their generosity in vain. We can cite
no better evidence of the appreciation
with which they are held in the COM
mnnity than the splendid success they
have achieved ID the short period Of
four years. That they are doing the
largest mercantile business in the town
or parish, is a fact conceded BY all,
and we have never heard even an in
tilnation that they were undeserVing
the distinction. In our issue Of to-
day these gentlemen have an adyer-
tisement that cannot fail to attract
public attention, and which they de-
sire stall be read by every reader of
the Echo. 1t is bnt reasonable 70
suppose that merchants who are able
% pay cash for goods can sell them
at small margin. This is the policy
and practice of Messrs. Kaufman &
Bloch. They cordially invite an in
spection of their stock and a compare
son Of prices. Call on them.

lie reports good times in bis section
and the health Of the people good.
The farmers are all busily engaged in
blowing and planting, and no one is
idle. There viii be i larger acreage
planted il rice than ever before, and
speaking of rice reminds US Of what
Mr. Clifton said. On five acres Of rice
last year be raised 80 barrels which he
sold at So SO per barrel, making 1913.
His actual expenses were $l32, leay-
ing net profit Of sl83. One hundred
acres, at this rate, would leave net
profit of $1,000. OF course an in
crease in acreage will reduce the pro-
portiona rate of expenses. And yet,
the everlasting GROWER will tell you
that nothingecan be made in this
country BY tillipg the soil.

Singular and Serious Accidents.

The Border Watchman, of Union, Mon
roe Co., W. Va, says that, con Wednes-
day last, Messrs. Echols Harnsbarger and
Rob't Ballard were riding on horseback
along New River in Giles county, Va, near
the Narrows, on their way to Peterstown,
in Monroe county, W. Va. At this point
the county road and the New River Rail-
way run parallel for some distance. The
first mishap which occurred to the young
men was just as Mr.. Ballard raised his pis-
tol to shoot duck on the river near by.
AS he was in the act of pulling the trigger
his horse SHE'D and plunged violently, so
that when the weapon was discharged the
ball took effect in the horses neck, infict-
ing an ugly wound. A short distance fur
Their on train came in sight and as it .ap-
preached Mr.. Harnsbarger's horse became
FESTIVE until presently he stumbled on a
stone, fell forward and broke his neck,
throwing his rider beneath him. Mr..
Harnsbarger had two ribs broker and sus-
tanned other more or less serious injuries.
He was taken to his home near Peterstown,
where he is slowly recuperating. The
horse, which was valuable one, of course
died instantly. Both accidents were ex-
tremely singular and beyond the ordinary
course of events"

MRS. LANGTRY
MISS HARDCAgTIE.

The second and last week of Mrs. Langtry's
engagement at the Fifth Avenue Theatre began
last evening with a performance of Goidsmi rs
great comedy. "She Stoops to Conquer" The
house was crowded to its utmost capacity by a
very brilliant audience Not only were all the
seats filled, but the aisles at the back as well,
and one OF the features of the evening the
large number of theatre parties which were pre-
sent. Mrs. Langtry's impersonation of Miss
HardeasJle, which has not been seen in this
city heretofore was remarkably successful
piece of work. and it was received with very
emphatic marks OF appreciation, Hearty APP
pauSe and calls before the curtain, Iol owed
ncarl every act.
None of he roles in which she has been seen
here thus far has suited Mrs. Langtry well as
that which she played last night None of them
gives ampIer room for the display of her grace
her beauty and her tatent and there is none
which m kes SO lew demands upon her dramat-
ic powers which she cannot satisfy. In the ear
lier part OF the play she has simply to portray
refined, hish-bred girl full OF life and spirits,
with just tuch of coQueIry and bantering
humor in the scene W III her bashful lover Her
own refinement and good breeding alone went
long way toward filing these requirements,

For the SPECTATOR.
Letter from Fairfield.
FArRr1ELp, December nth, 1888

FAIRFIELD, December 18th, 1888.
DEAR SPECTAToR:-If l had something
worth writing would venture to write.
AS news of interest is SO scarce here,
hardly know whether to begin. At any
rate l will venture to tell you that the
fourth quarterly meeting for Fairfield Cir
cult was held December list and 2nd. Rev.
George Fl. Zimmerman, Presiding Elder Of
Roanoke District, was present, and preached
to the edifcation of all who heard him.
Our little village is now situated in full
view of the Valley Railroad and in hearing
Of the Shenandoah Valley Railroad. Oh
the latter, there is no depot nearer than
four miles. Of the former, there will be
one about half mile distant If it had not
been for the public spirit of one of oul
townsmen, Mr. A. J. Cochran, we would
have been defeated iu getting road run
ming directly to the depot. He generously
consented to let the road be made through
some of his best fields.
Our little village can boast of three stores
now, owned by Mr.. Beard, Mr.. McCauley,
and Mr.. Benjamin Smith. The last men
toned, with his excellent family, came
among us, few weeks ago, from Henrico
county, Is miles below Richmond. trust
he may live long and do well.
Yours &c H.
