On this memorable day the ladies of Lake
Charles, friends to the public school, and
who desire to see their new public school
building seated and furnished, gave public
dinner in this building, the proceeds to go
towards seating. etc.
The MasOns of Lake Charles Lodge had
public installation in the said building.
of her officers for the ensuing Masonic
year, followed by a most interesting
Masonic address by Hon. Geo. H. Wells,
which was applauded and highly appreciated
by all. It has been commented upon by
many, as sublime.
The dinner was not to be surpassed.
Everything that the sppetite could call for
was in great abundance, and enjoyed by all
present.
We dined ct the table presided over by
Mrs A. ]. Perkins, and her accomplished
attendant. Mr.. Il. G. Drew did the carving
for this table, which all can testify, was done
with skill, which demonstrated that this wac
not his first effort.
Col. A. R. Mitchell being called upon for
toast did so in his usual, easy and happy
way, paying the ladies Of the occasion q
highly and merited compliment.
Each table was ably provided, with lady
to preside and all the help necessary. And
we feel safe in saying that there was never q
public dinner given in Lake Charles, which
was conducted with such system and the
bill Of fare 90 complete and rich.

sorrow to many, salvation TO some,
eternity to more. Thou hast furnished

pany every encouragement. 1t will greatly
improve Lake Charles property, lessen dan
