by Mr.. Isaacson, after which dane

when refreshments were served.
The candy-pulling being next in
order. quite a lively contest was
kept up for some time for the chest
pull" and resulted in q tie between
Miss Victoria Guenard and Miss
Josie Frederick. Ali the Indies
worked heroically, with b'istered
hands, for questionable glory, al
though their reward may be said TO
be sweet.
Dance and game now occupied
the minds of the company until
the "wee small hours" The SELL
ing of the forfeits. over the head of
Mr.. E. Bossier. imposed various
amusing duties upon the owners of

them q repetition OF the hours just
past. Yours truly, s.

New BRIDGE.-A new and i'm
portant bridge is about to be con-
structed across the Bogue Chitto.
in Washington parish, at a point
known as Magee's ferry. about sew
enteen miles from Covington, on
the Franklinton road. Messrs. r.
A. Orr and z. J. Magee are the
builders. They have secured the
large pile-driyer used in building
the Covington bridge, and sent il
forward last Thursday on an OK
wagon. Work will be commenced
at once, and it is thought the bridge
will be completed by the first OF
November next. It will cost about
$1400, one-half of which will be
paid by Washington parish. and
the balance by private subscriptions
from the citizens of Washington
and st. Tsmmany parishes. This
bridge will be of great benefit to
residents of the Pearl River coun-
try, and to the merchants of Gov
ington, as it will tend to turn trade
this way that has hitherto gone to
the railroad. The bridge will be
between 400 and 500 feet in length,
with two 60-foot spans over the
main channel, and stand Is feet
above low water mark.

The public schools are to be re-
opened next Monday. for u term OF
three months. This will make six
months free schools for the pres
ent year-an unprecedented occur
renee. and one that can only be ac-
counted for by the fact that we are
now living under an honest Demo
cratic government. We hope it
will not be long before the schools
are kept open nine months in the
year. which is the usual term in
most Of the Democratic States.

chicken with peas, loin stenk with
mushrooms. fricasseed tomatoes,
tomato stew, roast mutton. Des-
sert-Apple tarts. cheese tarts. cof-
fee. punch. red and white wines,
cigars.
A handsome blue roseate was
prepared for the driver who col
lected the most of the above flare,
SD Hr. August blanche was the
lucky winner, which shows that his
appreciation of the fine dinner pre-
pared by Mr.. and Mrs. E. Domersue
was full and complete. all who
were present speak of the feast in
the highest terms of praise.

to do. He ispersonally, politically. and

been one series OF shameful perform

have yawned before him, and will close
upon him if he continues in his career.
He is despised by men who dare not give
expression to their convictions, and is
treated with consideration by moral COW
ards who frown upon less guilty men,

purpose Of inducing our people to make

that, in the line of agriculture, we can
make the best exhibit. We took the
prize for wheat at New the Orleans ex-
position, and can lay South Dakota out
in the vegetable line without much ef-
fort. Our farmers should select samples
of their choicest productions and bring
them to this city, where arrangements
will be made to ship and exhibit them
without cost to the producer Mr.. Bliss
suggests that public meeting be called
to take concerted action in the matter.

self-Confessed. Public Plunderers.

There is alleged manipulation Of CEN
sus returns both in Grand Forks and
Fargo. The rascally perpetrators should
be fcrreted out and promptly given the
full penalty afforded by the e. S. stat
utes. The work was done. we under
stand, under the authority and supervis-
ion OF the general government, and u
vigorous investigation from that source
might have a salutary effect in more
ways than one. There is coterie Of fras-
Gals III Dakota who are selfconfessed
public plunderen. There is not the least
doubt of this factin the minds OF any
well informed man. Their names are
well known, and their rascality as open
as day. Specific and overt acts are eas,
ilv cited, supported by indisputable
proof. The manipulation of census re-
turns is but a mild mlsdemeamor-
though in itself grave crlme-when
compared with some OF their misdeeds.
But frauds of this character are far
reaching in effect and should be punish
ed. "Let no guilty man escape"
