Grab Bag-Miss Olive Keller and
Mr.. Gus. Laborde.
The refreehment tables were
kept opsn tie next day, and quite
| . nice snm was realized from them
and . number Of articles which
were rafIied and auctioned OF.
The entire affair was excellently
conducted, in every particular, and
reflected great credit on the man.
ayers and their lady assistants.
1t proved one thing. beyond .
doubt, and that d that Covington
has the ability. talent, energy and
enterprise to get up IN entertain
ment to suit the most fastidious,
and our people are appreciative and
liberal, and always ready to lend q
helping hand to anything that tends
to promote the general welfare.
1t has for years been . source Of
regret and actual Inconvenience,
that Covington had no suitable
place for public gatherings and
amusement. Our present Mayor
and Board Of Aldermen determined
that this state Of affairs should no
longer exist, and they follow
cd up their good intention with
prompt action. In August last they
purchased four lots Of ground in
the center q town, and in Decem-
Der an appropriation Of $500 was
made to commence the work, which
was carried forward to completion,
mostly with the revenues Of the
town; It was necessary, however,
to borrow $1,000, and this sum was
promptly loaned by two Of our pub
lie spirited citizens, Messrs. H. J.
Smith and J. Cahief.
The contract for the erection Of
the building was given to Mr.. VIM.
Brennan, . native Of our town, and
the neat and handsome structure Is
m honor and credit to him and the
town, and viii stand a. . lasting
to bis skin as . practical
and builder. and IN archi-
tect and designer Of rare taste and
ability.
The handsome drop curtain for
The stage, . mountain scene, with
, rippling brook, and twilight sky, |
d also . home production, being !
he work Of our fellow-citizen Mr.. |!
J. w. E. Jones. Considering the |
rude materials he had at hand,
md the shortness Of the time. he |
lid remarkably well, and the cur
ain viii compare favorably with
'ome that we have seen even in
arge cities.
The stage and hall were very
astefully decorated with japanese
Umbrellas and fans. Chinese Ian
ems. flowers and evergreens, and
'resented . neat. coy and hand
ONE appearance.
The attendance b estimated at
i've and SIX hundred poo
lie, from al parts OF the parish
nd from New Orleans.
The ladies In charge OF the re-
reshment tables were kept busy,
nd deserve great credit for the in
crest displayed and the cheer
Il manner in which they perform
4 their laborious duties.
It b thought that about $500 was
salized for the benefit Of the Town
[all fund. The committee have
ot yet received full returns from

Hons. Theodore Wilkinson,
Andrew Price and Sam n. Robert
son, three Louisiana Democratic
Congressman, have lately voted to
destroy the freedom OF the Press, at
the suggestion Of . Republican Post
master General. We refer to the
Anti-Lottery bill which wai hurried
through the House Of Representa-
tives with such indecent haste. The
question presented to them was
not whether the Louisiana Lottery
Company should be rechartered.
That i . question for the people
Of the State to decide, and Congress
has no concern in the matter. But
by their votes it looks as though
they were ready to join the crusade
against the rights Of the State and
the freedom Of the press. Would
it be surprising IL the press setali-
ated? Has the press no rights that
gentleman who pose as s'moral|
politicians" should respect? We
wonder Il these gentlemen favor the
Force bill now before Congress ?
II we are to have . centralized gov.
but one moro step Is need
ed. and in fact the said government
would not be complete without the
Force bill in its worst shape.-Ib-
erville South.

in his Rapides speech:
Tour national banks are the

There Is very frequently observed now
on our electric railways heavy over
loading Of the cars, which can oniy
result in physical damage to the
lines themselves. and In great IN
convenience to the public. The lines
will be injured by the greater wear ana
tear on the rails, and by the greater waste
in the material Of the electrical appliances,
while the public will be Inconvenience
because the over-crowding will only cause
the most serious discomfort 10 the passeh-
gers who have acquired the prior rlght by
having gotten on board first.
The different companies will consult mol
only their own interests but the interest Of
our people at large, by strictly enjoinlng
upon their conductors that only reason
able number OF passengers shall he allow
ed on each car.
