During the past week Ed. d. s.
Kinney, Of Syracuse, New York, and
Eld. a. F. Dempsey, of Jackson, Mich
igan, paid our town a visit. These
gentlemen are Wesleyan Methodists or
what is more strictly termed original
Methodists. Ed. Kinney raised the
funds to build the Wesleyan Publish
ing Co.'s fine building in Syracuse,
and is at the head Of this company.
They came here on prospecting tour
and are so well pleased they have
made arrangements for $4,000 acres
Of land in this parish aud will settle a
colony of their people on it. Ed.
Kinney, we regret to say, remained but
few days, having received intelli.
genee of the death Of one Of his chill
dren be returned home. Eld. Dempsey,
gave the EoHo pleasant call and was
loud in his praise Of the country. and
people.
Robert Mullenger, of Springfield,
Dakota, arrived on Tuesday last and
gave the Echo a pleasant call. Mr..
NJ is highly pleased with the country. |
he says he can conscientiously say to
his people when hereturus, that what
they have read in our papers and IN
circulars they have received, has not
been oYerdrawn. Mr.. NJ. represents
quite a number of Life and FIRE In
surance Companies aud is faVorably
impressed with the idea that our town
is a good place to establish general
agency business. We see no reason
why it should not be done and our
town made the headquarters for gem.
eral work of this kind in Southwest
Louisiana and 10 East Texas.
Mr.. II. L. Robinson began early
Monday morning with full force of
good mechanics on the new hotel
building near the Baptist church and
by Wednesday At noon be had the
foundation laid and portion of the
frame work erected. Mr.. Robinson
| is a man of a great deal of push and
energy, and with force of COM
petent and energetic mechanics, this
building will perhaps be completed
10 much shorter time than any one
of Its size ever built in the town.
Mr.. J. S. Davidson left on Tuesday
last for New Orleans where he will
remain several days. He carried with
him his little son Johnnie and will
place him under the treatment of a
, physician for ear trouble. During his
stay he expects to purchase quite a
large stock of merchandise and IS
having his store Fe-arraDged to receive
it. Mr.. d. understands the wants of
, bis customers and will no doubt
O purchase to suit them,
