The Lake Charles echo. [volume] (Lake Charles, Parish of Calcasieu, La.) 1876-1898, 1888-03-23


Quite large and appreciative au-
dience attended the entertainment
given by the worthy members Of the
w. G. 7. u. at the Methodist church,
on Tuesday evening last. The pro-
gramme was most interesting one,
and consisted Of essays, readings and
instrumental and vocal music. All
who participated acquitted themselves
in a graceful and pleasing manner.
The object Of this association is a
most laudable one, and fully deserves
the encouragement it receives. Sew
eral new members were enrolled, and
a petition to our Legislature, asking
that the necessary steps be taken for
the Introduction in our public schools,
of the study of hygiene and the effects
of alcohol upon the human system.
The signing of this petition was gen.
eral.
Mr. Albert Burnett, from Oaklin
1 Springs, in this parish was in town
last Tuesday. He says the farmers
have done we'll in his vicinity: have
killed and saved their years meat off
the mast 10 the forest. One gentle
man who was present during the con-
Versation said he walked all over that
country during the fall on mast.
This was our friend G. s. Wright,
from Missouri, who had been on a
surveying expedition through that
section during the fall.
