EDfr0R ST.. TAnGAxY FARnRR:
For the pest week We have beer
iced. To-day We are enjoying
spring weather. Although our town
seems to b In slumber, those wide
awake Mugnier Bros, Of Cresosn,
Hall, - usual have an eye to bust
ness, for they have contracted thia
week with the Bench Pleasure Club
Of New Orleans, who yin give .
grand ball At the Lodge Of Perfect
Union, on Rampant street. to fur
nish them with . splendid supper ;
they have also taken the privilege
of the bar and other accessories.
We are proud to sec that the New
Orleans epicures can appreciate the
talents Of our Mandevillians.
We have to chronicle the wedding
Of Mr.. Walter Bridges and Miss
Hattie Sharp, daughter Of Mr.. Zach
Sharp, which took place at the resi-
denee Of the brides parents yester-
day evening. They took the steam
er New Camelia this morning on
their way to their new home In
Texas.
Much complaint IL made about
the advertisement Of the State Land
Sale. It would be advisable for our
Collector to make . general revision
Of the advertisement, for he has
three-quarters Of the town Of Man
deville for sale, and mixed up Madi-
sonville property with our town,
and 10! what descriptions. Is there
not . plan of Vaudeville in the Re-
oorder's Office? Let our popular
Sheriff look into the matter, and II
he cannot get . competent party to
do the thing correctly, let him send
to our "pic" town, and he will find
one At least who win put him on the
right track.
Our stores are Ill blooming.
Everyone i trying to undersell the
other. Ribava has thrown . bomb
shell in the midst Of them this week
by putting his prices 20 low that any
one can buy, but it don't seem to
affect the others. Aleck, Of the
Pig and Whistle, after two weeks Of
severe sickness, Is up and ut his
post again, looking hesrtier than
ever, and he says he can ''whistle"
louder than ever. Peters, the full
whole-souled ''mossy" fellow, il

Depre Bros. are building . large
warehouse back Of their spacious

A party Of young men, owners Of

The travelling pubic and our
merchants are complaining about Z
he schedule Of our steamer New
amelia. The days are very short
nd the boat arrives too late, e.
'ecially on Saturdays. A change

realty oblige her customers and
lso her officers.

raj turkeys and geese that have .
one astray. =
