Following the coffin was stuffed negro
perched upon a pole, which was one of
the interesting features of the glorious
procession.
The music for the occasion were few

Of drums which made the most horrible

The moon was shining brightly and
the procession was lighted by about 3

doomed while the procession was on its
grand march.
After parading the streets the process
sion proceeded to the bridge where a
halt was made. and after a VI ethodist
sermon had been preached over the cof-

bridge in the bayou, to drift on the
smooth and silvcry surface of the beau

pole near the waters edge and set on fire

after which the procession dispersed.
