r CONTRACTING AND EMPLOYMENT AGENCY. -
Mr.. Patrick Reddington, proprietor of the
Mechanics Exchange, Donaldsonvilie, has
opened a contracting and employment agen-
cy here, and is prepared to undertake con-
tracts for plantation ditching, digging of
sugar house ponds, building of protection
levees and other earthwork at lowest rates,
besides supplying labor to planters and
others and furnishing employment to men
in search of work. Mr.. Reddington has
had years of experience as a contractor
which, added to his wide acquaintance and
high standing among the laboring classes,
enables him to command superior facili-
ties for the successful conduct of business
of this description. The satisfactory man
ner in which he has executed a large
amount of work in this and adjacent par
ishes is sufficient assurance of his reliability
in this respect, and none who are &C
auainted with his excellent financial and
general reputation will be disposed to ques-
ton his ability or disposition to fulfill to
the letter any task OF obligation he may
assume. Employers in want of labor or
parties having jobs of earthwork to let out
should confer with Mr.. Reddington, and
we are confident that, in nine cases out of
ten, they will find it advantageous to do
business with him.

MARDI GRAs.-This holiday was an ex-
tremely dull one in Donaldsonyille, being
celebrated only by few stray maskers,
mostly children, and by the attendants at
Phoenix ball Tuesday night and at the ball
given by the Nebbitt colored MINISTRIES at
Blue Bucket Hall. The exodus to New Or
leans was of unusual proportions and this
accounts in great measure for the dull
ness of the day at home. The hosts that
welcomed the arrival of Rex, witnessed the
pageants of the Knights of Proteus, King
Rex. Phunny Priority Phellows, Merry Bel
lions and Mystic Krewe of Comus in the
Crescent City we're extremely large, and the
displays were fully up to general expecta-
ton. Every hotel and boarding house in
the city was crammed, and accommoda-
lions were In extraordinary demand.
Among the visitors were battalion of the
Maryland National Guard from Balti-
more, a company of the Detroit Light In
fantry, Rex's cousin Cincinnatus and a
retinue of about hundred members of
his household from Porkopolis, all of
whom were entertained with regal hospi-
tally during their sojourn in the city. Nor
gan City and Plaquemine had very success
full celebrations, King Saccharine holding
sway at the former town and King Cypress
at the latter. The suggestion is made that
Donaldsonville follow their example next
year and we commend it to the consider
alton of the highcockolorums of the royal
court of his most puissant Majesty, the
Empersor of Lafourche.

il. OF p. FEsTrvAL.-The minstrel enter
tainment given at Blue Bucket Hall last
Saturday evening under the auspices and
for the benefit of Launcelot Lodge No. 80,
knights Of Pythias, was productive of SO
much amusement and drew such large
audience, that it was repeated Sunday even-
ing with equal success. Although organ
lied a very short time and .having had only
few rehearsals, the performers acquitted
themselves creditably and their songs,
dances and Jokes were greeted by frequent
applause and uproarious mirth. The mem-
beers of the amateur troupe were Messrs.
Clement Nebbit, Joseph Conway, John
Martin, Charles Gabrielle, George Harden,
Henry Patterson, Henry Conway, George
Dominique, Robert Johnson, j ohm Westley,
Daniel johnson, Louis Adams and T. Jones'.
Music was furnished by LeBlanc's string
band, under the leadership of Mr.. Jules
Leblanc of st. James, and it was very fine.
After the minstrel performances dancing
was INDUCED in and the refreshment tables
lied. The silver pitcher and goblet con-
tested for by Misses Euphrasine Braud and
Adele Bernier were won by the latter, who re-
turned $65 10, against 1928 10 for her oppo-
nent. The best order was maintained both
evenings, the amusement not being marred
by SO much as harsh word. The arrange
ments were admirable, rejecting great
credit upon the managing committee, COM
posed of Knights G. ". King, chairman;
Nathan Hayes, G. S. Braud, Charles ].
Bush and John q. Martin. The expenses
were unusually heavy, but despite this fact
the lodge has realized from $50 to $100
from the entertainments. The members
of the lodge and the committee of arrange
ments desire us to express their sincere
thanks to the ladies who kindly assisted
them, and to whose invaluable cooperation
the gratifying success of the festival was 30.
largely due.

SuaAR BARREL CooPERAaE.-We bring to
the notice Of the many sugar planters who
read our paper the advertisement of Messrs.
James n. Laws i Co. of Cincinnati, and L.
9. Keeyer of New Orleans, manufacturers
of slaves, heads and hoops for sugar bar
rels. which these gentlemen are prepared
to furnish on advantageous terms. They
use none but the best material and are
prepared to guarantee their work as the
neatest, most durable and consequently the
cheapest in the market. Parties who have
need of sugar barrels should correspond
with these advertisers before making pur-
chases elsewhere. It will be found good
policy to buy your eooperage from first
hands and to get quality of material that
can be relied upon for soundness and dura-
biIity

WouNDEp.-We have meagre particulars
Of a shooting ARRAY that occurred near
Dutch stores last Saturday evening. Ma
than West, young colored man about 20
years of age, had a quarrel with another
coiored man named Green, growing out of
q game of dice, which was ended by West
drawing revolver and shooting several
times at Green, one of the bullets lodging
in the latter's hip and another passing
through his right forearm, inficting severe
and painful wounds. West then jumped
on Green's horse and rode rapidly away,
and since that time the horse and
rider have not been heard of. Green was
conyeyed in cart to his home near the
residence of Capt. Joseph Gonzales on New
River, where we presume he is under the
attendance Of DIR. st. Amant.

REPUBLICAN, NoMINATIoNs.-The pro-
gramme for uniting the Republican party
of this parish, to which reference has been
made in two previous issues of the CHIEF,
was fully carried out last Saturday. The
Hill and Landry parish committees met in
/ separate session, ratified the compromise
| agreement and appointed seventeen of their
members respectively to constitute the par
| ish nominating convention. These thirty
four delegates assembled at the Court house
and organized as convention by choosing
Hon. Pierre Landry, president, Hon. G..
FL. Hill, vice president, and Messrs. l.. E.
Bentley and P. A.. Jones, secretary and
| assistant secretary. Resolutions were adop-
ted authorizing the chairman to appoint
the delegates to the State, senatorial and
judicial conventions, after which the fol-
lowing parochial candidates were nomina-
ted by acciamation:
For Representative Pierre Landry.
For Sheriff, Peter A. Jones.
For Clerk and Recorder, L. E. Bentley.
Resolutions instructing the district dele
gates to support Hon. g. II. Hill for Sena-
tor, Hon. Jno. A. Cheevers for Judge and
F. B. Earhart, ESQ.,, for District Attorney
and providing for the organization of a
sub-executive and campaign managing
committee were adopted, and the conven-
ton then resolved itself into the Republic
an parish executive committee, to remain
in existence during the ensuing four years,
with the following officers:
G. Il. Hill, president.
Henry Hayman. vice president.
u. n. Bentley. secretary.
The sub-executive committee, to which is
entrusted the general management of cam
paigns and the filling of all vacancies on
the parochial ticket, or in the State and dis
trict delegations, is differed as follows:
2. Landry. president.
7. a. Jones. vice president.
u. y. Bentley. secretary.
II. .. Maher, treasurer.
Lack of space compels us to defer pub
fishing the official minutes of the conven-
ton and committee until next week. We
have not yet learned the names of the dele
gates to the State and district conventions
appointed by Chairman Landry, but will
report them in our next number.
WHosE GooDs?-On Monday last Jimmie
Mullett and Airne Ardineaux, residents of
Port Barrow, found lot Of goods con-
cealed under the house of Mrs. Antoine
Sanchez which are supposed to have been
stolen and secreted there by the thief or
thieves. Inquiries made by Mr.. Frank Go
mez having failed to lead to the discovery
of the owner, it was thought the publica-
ton in the Cu1EF of list of the articles
found might be more successful, hence the
following inventory has been furnished US:
81 yards calico, eight yards cotton, two
white cravats, one blue silk sash, one piece
white lawn, two top quilts not quilted and
one quilted, one table cloth, four napkins,
two night gowns, one yard ribbon, one

SMALL Pox.-There has been no case
of this disease in Donaldsonville for more
than fortnight, the last two infected
houses having been fumizated week before
last, and the town is now entirely free from

months. Very few cases still remain in the
Port Barrow and Smoke Bend neighbor-
hoods, and in the course of very short
time we have no doubt there will not be

usual severity for this latitude. We heartily
coincide with the sentiments of the rural
poet whose anathemas hurled at the head of
Vennor, the weather prophet who predicted
mild winter, are reproduced on our first
