DR.. a. N. Pierce, homeopathic.
Last Friday was labor day, but was not OBJ
served BY our people.
Miss Della Neal was caller ut the Ecno
office last Monday a. m. Her pleasant face
and lively chat Is always welcome.
The Echo received a pleasant visit from
Miss Agnes Bourg, the charming little daugh-
ter of Mr.. P. A. Bourg, last Tuesday.
Dick Che of the book storel says # took him
all day to build railing around the gallery
to keep the little "son of a Gum" from fall,
ing off.

dance to be given by the Westl4ke Dancing

-----
As far as we know CalcasIeu has but two
veterans Of the Mexican war who draw PEN
sions, one Of whom is our townEman and
neighbor, Col A. R. Mitchell, the name Of
the other we have forgotten.
Some Of the kids around town are getting
entirely too free with their practical Jokes
We dislike to call names, but II Charley
Kearney persists in his present course, we
shall inform his mamma and he will get
soundly spanked.
The EcHo was the recipient last Friday of
one of the most bewitching boquets we have
seen in many day, and its matchless beauty
was only riVaed by the fair face and form of
the doner, whose mOdesty fOrbtds the public
mention of her name.
A Dumber of sheriff and succession sales
took place from the court house door last
Saturday. More sales would have taken
place but for errors in publication notices.
These errors did not take place IN tie Echo
o6tce A word to the wise is sufficient.
Christmas is fast approaching and great
problem is what to buy In our case, how
ever, there is still a greater one, which is
where to get the money to buy with. Unless
Christmas turkey bids fair TO be a soup bone.
We have received quite a number Of com
plants lately from parties who do not receive
their paper regularly. To these we can only
say that the fault is not at this end of the
line. We desire to know of all these in
stances, however, and will try and find out
where the blame should attach,
There was no service at the Presbyterian
church last Sunday owing to the repairs going
on inside. By next Sabbath It is hoped these
will be completed, Or at least so nearly so as
to allow the holding of serVices. Rev. G. W.
Lyman occupied the pulpit at the N, E.
Church, South, last Sabbath evening,
Have you noticed the beautiful appearance
of the show windows of Mr.. Kaulman's store2
They are the result Of the taste Of Mr., Sig
mund Kahn, who Is perhaps the best dry
goods man IN our city. Mr.. Kahn comes
from the large houses in New Orleans where
the show windows are special feature.

On next Sabbath Brother Upton breaches
bis farewell sermon in NJ. E. Church South.
He has preached aceeptably and endeaFed
himself to many both in and out of his church
and his familiar face and form and bis cordial
greetings will be missed by the people Of
Lake Charles, whose best wishes will attend
him to whatever field Of labor be is called.
In another column will be found he adyer
tisemeHt Of Frank Ford y Co., fish dealers.
This enteTPrising firm deserves the patronage
OF all our citizens for they furnish the best of
fish and don't demand the earth In exchange.
Their prices are at ali times reasonable and
they treat their customers in gentlemaDly
manner See that you give them the en-
couragement they deserve.
The young hoodlums that infest the court
house hall and stairs on every occasion Of a
meeting in that building, and make q perfect
pandemopium Of the place, should be taken
in charge by the police and few Of the
worst should be locked up for q short time
and made to pay small fine. This nuisance
was intolerable last Tuesday night on the
occasion Of Miss Kearney's lecture.
Our contemporary, the Atnerieap, has been
making some changes IN the personel Of that
office, Mr.. G. W. Little now being IN charge
Of the books and ]. B. Neibert having sue
ceeded to the foremanship. This saves to
the Office the salary Of one man, which seems
to US prudent measure. Both Mr.. Little
and Mr.. Neibert are well equipped for the
duties Of their respective positions and we
believe the efficiency Of the office will be
Increased by the change,
Although near the beginning Of the winter
solstiee, sun umbrella is much more com
Portable than an oyercoat and with the beauu-
ful roses on our table, grown in the open air
we have nothing to remind US that winter is
here. Our friends ip the north who are
shiyerlng around the fire or wading through
mud and slusb and snow have our sympathy
and We invite them to come down here and
Zee what beautiful climate We have and how
easy Il Is 70 live ip this southern paradise,
The brilliant mereorlc display which was
