tions at the store of Meyer Bros.
The electric light dynamo, and
other appurtenances belonging thare-
to, arrived last week, and are being

Ice Company.
D.. For the past two weeks Monroe
has presented quite an animated ap-
pearance Her hotels and restaurants
have been and are having a good run
of custom, and the same may be SAID
of private boarding houses
The Vicksburg, Shreveport and
Pacific railroad is now. and has for
the past few weeks, been doing an
enormous passenger tratiic, the tIaiIs
in both directions being crowded daily.
We learn that MANY of these travellers
have been people who have either
purchased land along the road and
were going to settle on it, or others
who were prospecting for homes in
this section
The Bulletin thinks that no appre-
henson of an overflow in Ouachita
parish need seriously be entertained.
