Death OF A, Tertrou.

Yesterday another name added to the
number Of old and respected citizens
who have lately passed to another world
in the person of Mr.. A. Tertreu. Mr.. Ter
treu had been sick but for short period,
hence his death will prove sad shock to
his many friends, who have barely yet
had time to miss him from accustomed
avocations. Mr.. T -trOu was born In
st. Martinsville, La. fifty-eight years
ago, and has resided in this city for a
number of years. He was for long
time in the sugar and cotton factOrage
business. and was widely known and
esteemed in business circles. At the
time of his death he was the representa-
tive on the sugar market Of the we'll
known firm of Pugh Bros. & Co., in
which his son is a partner. Mr.. TertrOu's
cOngeniality and business ability drew
around him hosts of friends who viii
sincerely regret his demise. His funera
will take place to-day from his late re
sidence, No. l2O Cont street. Mr.. Ter
trou leaves two children, a son and
daughter, to mourn his lOss.-N. o. Pic

artistically decorated. The stage is a
little beauty. The dress circle gives to
the spectators all the comfort that may
be expected in place of amusement, in
country town.
The Hall and stage were brilliantly il
Illuminated. The whole was very attrac-
tive.
The orchestra of the Association, under
