respected the past century's develop
ment of our grand republic, recalling
many of its historical incidents and
achievements, and eloquently referring
to the causes which led the American
people to love and to celebrate the 4th

The Hon. Jos. A. Breaux, State Su
perintendent of Public Education, con
fined kliis address to educational topics,
upon which he Is an enthusiast. He
spoke eloquently and feelingly upon the
wants and necessities of the public
school system, which he is labOring so
zealously to bnild up to an efficient
standard in Louisiana.
This closed the speaking. During the
evening many amusing games were i'll
dulged in by the young people. The
refreshment tables. presided over by
! ladies of the Committee of Twenty five,
were laden with the choicest delicacies,
and were literally patronized by the
people. In fact, everything vas sold,
and handsome sum was realized in
aid of the school building fund.
At night grand concert, given un-
der the direction of Prof. R. Mayer, as
sisted by leading amateurs, was la. gely
attended at the Courthouse. The mu-
sic, both vocal and instrumental, was
choice and artistically rendered, and
was greatly enjoyed by the audience
After the concert q grand ball was
given by the Social Club, at their hall
that was crowded with the disciples O
