chas. 4. Maurin's


ments in Donaldsonville, and it is we'll
worth while to pay it a visit and inspect the
splendid display of merchandise offered to
the public there at the very lowest figures
compatible with profitable maintenance
of the business. Having secured adjoin-
ing premises, Mr.. Maurin has doubled the
size of his emporium, and still every
department is filed to repletion with the
freshest, best aud most desirable goods the
metropolitan markets afford. We note the
merited prosperity of the Cheap Grocery
Emporium and its enterprising young pro-
prietor with pleasure, for his establishment
is an ornament and credit to the town.
The State Board of Education was called
to meet at Baton Rouge last week and
Judge r. N. Sims of our parish was one
the members in attendance. He left for
Of the Capital on Thursday. His handsome
and manly young sons, Masters R. n. Sims,
Jr., and Kittredge Sims, the former cadet
at the State University and the latter stu
dent of the Magruder Collegiate Institute,
were at home for the Easter vacation.
The Independent Brass Band met on the
gallery of Phoenix Hall Sunday before
last and RECALLED the public in that vicinity
with an enjoyable open-air instrumental
concert, admission free. A novel ane
amusing episode of the entertainment was
a sort of musical duel between the lnde-
pendents and the Conway field band, IN
which the former came off with first honors.
The soldier boys drilling on the common
opposite the hall found it difficult work to
keep in step while the battle ragged.
As Mr.. J. I. Bringier and lady friend
were ont buggy riding last Saturday even
ing they narrowly escaped serious acct
dent opposite Clark warehouse. A small
dog jumped out of the ditch by the road
side and frightened Mr.. Bringer's horse,
which started to run. In attempting to
hold the animal back Mr.. Bringier broke
one of the reins, causing the horse to make
such sharp turn to one side that the shafts
of the buggy snapped of. Fortunately,
however, the horse was secured and the oo-
cupants of the vehicle escaped injury.
Nothing stale, nothing bad, nothing high
priced at Manrin's Cheap Grocery En-
porium.
