The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1885-09-26

We are gratifed to learn that Messrs. W.
L. Wilson and R. 0. Dowdy, the travelling
agents of the Grand Central Nurseries of
Nashville, who recently visited our town,
met with fine success in soliciting orders
during their stay here. They are now can
vassing the Bayou Lafourche section and
we commend them to the people there and
elsewhere as worthy representatives of one
of the most reliable and prosperous nur-
series in the country
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1885-09-26

Mr.. Thos. H. Charles of New Orleans, a
travelling representative of the house OF
Joseph Cornibe, importer of fine whiskies
and sole agent for the celebrated g Parole -
brand, was in town this week and we were
clad to have the opportunity of making his
ACQUAINTANCE. Mr.. Charles was formerly
in another line of business and attained
considerable reputation us "Charees, the
Halter" He is an exceedingly agreeable
gentleman, and as he handles whiskey
that has no superior in the market, he will
undoubtedly have a good share of trade
wherever he goes.

Hon. Warren Easton, State Superintend-

Willie Garrett were the only candidates,
and all passed the examination very credit
ably Mr.. Easton left for New Orleans
Tuesday evening.

Last Saturday evening quite lively fight
took place between two young colored men
in front of Mr.. j. j. Leche's drug store, at
the corner of Mississippi and Chetimaches
streets. The timely arrival of Constable
Joe Thompson caused sudden cessation of
hostilities and the combatants started on a
the arrest of one of the participants, Celes-
tin Williams, while the other succeeded in
making his escape.

Monday morning one of the guys of the
smoke stack of the DonaldsonviIle Ice Fac
tory gave way and it came down with re-
port that caused the ice-house sweaters to
dig out without standing upon the order OF
| their departure No damage was done, the
guy was replaced, and in a few minutez,
things were going On as g cool as a cucum-
Der again.

Capt John McGrath, editor and proprie-

no wiser selection.

That Road Controversy.

Whatever may be The differences of opin-
ion on the subject Of New River roads, there
is no disputing the fact that the road to take
when you want to find the best goods at the
lowest prices leads direct to Cheap Tony's,
corner of Mississippi street and Railroad
Avenue, Donaldsonville. He defes compe-
tition in every line and particularly in hats,
Of which he has heavy stock, comprising
all the latest New York and Western Styles
The drawing of the New Improved Domes-
tic Sewing Machine will positively take
place Thursday evening, October 8, at 4
o'clock.

AT INGMAN's.

The Skating Rink was in full blast again
last Thursday evening, and if happy faces
indicate in Kinks, as elsewhere, the enjoy
ment of the wearers, we can indeed con-
graduate the young mon of the D. l. B. B.
upon their success. AS the cool weather APP
proaches, the attendance at the rink grows
larger steadily, and we trust, ere long to
hear that the band has decided to give two
entertainments each week instead of one.
