members of the Press Association who
attended its meeting last week owe a
debt of gratitude which it will be diff
cult for them to repay Not only were
the journalists and their wives and
daughters entertained gratuitonsly. but
the hall where they met was artistically
decorated with flowers and ferns, while
the stage was a bower Of roses the
Thihodaux brass band, consisting of
sixteen excellent musicians, gave fine

oyertnres aud as irtHrIudes between
the essays and addresses at every meet
ing large Numbers of the best people
of the place honored each session with
their presence a splendid concert was
given in their honor, which reflected
much credit upon Prof. Chol and the
highly developed musical taste and
talent of the people; q steamboat was
chartered, stocked with provisions, y
and placed at their service for most
agreeable all-day excnrsion to the lower
Lafourehe ; and every kindness and
courtesy that refined hospitality eould
suggest was offered them at every turn.
They can never repay their generous
entertainers, we fear; but they will
always, we trow, keep warm place in
their hearts for hospitable Thibodaux,
and forever treasure as a pleasant
memory the recollection of their visit
to the model little city-Hthe fertile
fields, the lemiling, flower crowned
home, thS whole souled people of the
beautiful Lafourcie.
