DRILL OF THEPEN.

On last Saturday evening a Mis-
sionary Society for colored people
gave an entertainment in Waiver
ley Hall composing of a Tablear
and song, followed by a drill of til.
Pen.
The Tableau was handsomely ar.
ranged, the whole force of the
girls, who formed the company.
taking part therein.
The soug by the chorus was very
we'll sung.
The company consisted of %
members and a drummer, armed
with spears about five feet long.
with large pen on end.
The Manual Of arms was very
we'll done, and Marches were quite
interesting and pretty, and execu
ted generally, very nicely.
Ihe company Was under charge
of MI. j. l. Rogers.
Had he have undertaken less. it
would have been better, as time to
learn so many maneuvres, was not
sufficient. to allow the drillers to
themselves.
Upon the whole the exhibition
was very cIeditable and afforded a
pleasant evenings entertain
ment for the crowd who werei in at
tendance.
Tables loaded with refreshments
we're arranged in the rear OF the
Hall around which the visitors sup
piled their wants.
The drill was also exhibited on
Monday night during which songs
we're sung by a Glee Club who
we're here on a visit.
The society for whose benefit the
was given is ,composed
many of the best cOlored men
md women in Thibodaux, and as
he profit will be expended for use
al purposes, no one will regret to
that it was, both socially and
financially, a success.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.-A large pro-
portion of the readers Of the Thi6odaur

Americas Farmer to give it rs . premium
for n year to every subscriber Of the
TRibodaxr Sentinel who pays his subscrip-

This proves what little foresight

plain that Gov. Cleveland was

and that old things pass away.
Hence, we placed him in nomina

since kept his name where it is to
day. The SENTINEL is the first
paper that h0isted Cleveland CO.

SUGAR.

"Planter," in the Thibodaux Sen
tiRel, makes a comparison in the
price of sugar, and says: "Prime
kettle sugar sold in 1869 and 1870
at 1O4 cents per pound," and "on
July LIST, 1884 at 4 "a cents per
pound" and appeals to the laborers
of that section to "lend a helping
hand to saveit (the sugar interest)
from humiliation and accept the
late reduction i'll price of labor-(23
1-3 per cent? All of which appears
to us as going to prove that protec
ton does not protect our pocket, be
cause we arc paying 10 and 11cents
per pound, or 100 per cent. More
than the above price, for our sugar.
We cut tho above from the Lake.
Charles Echo. TIT editor thinks that
"protectlon does not protect" He
pays in ST. harles just as much for
a pound Of sugar as he did when
sugar was realizing 20 per cent
more to the planters than it does
now. A little protection of one or
two cents per pound an sugar will
make it remunerative to the grower
whilst it will make no difference to
the consumer, the retailer does not
come down in his prices, no matter
how cheap he buys his sugar, bat
makes the consumer pay oil the
same.
