| The readers Of the Echo will remem-
Der the mention made in these col
umns, n few weeks ago, of the visit TO
Lake Charles Of Mr.. T. Yturria, OF
Brownsville, VINO was on his way &c
New Orleans to perfect arrangements
for the shipping of bones from Browns
vile, via Lake Charles, to New Or
lenns. The following extract from a
letter written by Mr.. Yturria to Messrs
Moore. Perkins Co., chronicles the
success which has attended the enter
prise;
BKovNsvrLLE, TExAs, June Is, 1888.
Messrs Moore, Perkins * Co.:
GENTLEMEN: The Laura Lewis will
leave Drazos for your place on the Goth
inst, weuther permitting, with 400
sacks Of bones TO your consignment.
Yours very truly, T. YTUKE1A.
The Inauguration of this enterprise
is the forerunuer of others Of similar
character that will naturally follow. 1t
will make Lake Charles the gateway
for various products of the southern
coast Of Texas designed for New Or
leans and other southern ports The
fact that these bones are shipped in
this manner is not alone due TO the
schouners being able to reload at this
point with lumber, shingles, etc, but
because cheaper rate of freights can
be secured via Luke Charles than by
nny other route.

among the many public il

Chief among the many public i'm
proyemeIts necessary to the welfare
and growth of our little city is suit
able building for school purposes.
There is no computing the advantages
that would accrue, both pecuniarily
and otherwise, to our community #
Lake Charles had good public school
building. The people are willing to
contribute to this end. All that is
lacking is for some energetic party or
parties, who have little spare time,
to take the matter in hand and work it
up, and thus gain for themselves the
distinction Of being looked upon as
public benefactors.

Attention is directed to the adyer-
tisementin this issue OF "The Victory, "
an insect and animal exterminator,
patented by J. G. Melcher, November
Is, 1879. Mr.. II. A. Knight, of Mer-
ryville, Calcasieu parish, has the ex-
elusive right to handle this invention
in this section. The Victory is really
meritorious machine, and in our
Judgment, based upon what we have
read of it for the past two or three
years, will do what Mr. knight, in his
advertisement, claims for it. Mr. K.
is a native Louisianian aud has resided
for the past three years iu the Merry
vile neighborhood, He offers parish
and farm rights for sale, and our read
ers needing anything of that kind
should communicate with him.

The protragted meeting which be
gau ut the First Baptist church Of this
place Saturday evening, June IL, closes
tonight, (Fridny) The weather has
materially interfered with the progress
Of tue meeting, and the visible results
are not what We Lad hoped for. Still
We are confident good has been accom-
plished and seed sown that luust take
root and ripen into a healthy growth
in the near future. Elders Terry and
Harrel have abored persistently and
iuteligently, and have succeeded in
awakening, if nothing more, a renewed
and greater interest in the cause of
religion. Elder Harrel leaves tonight
for his home, at Mansfield, and we
trust lie may lie enabled to again visit
lis in the coming future. He will carry
with him the good wishes and esteem
of all with whom lie has become &C
quaipted during his stay among us.
