If it were not for the fact that t is
a serious matter with some, attended
with grayer consequence, it would
be amusing to rs to note how the I'M
wary and unsophisticated are taken
in by the artifices of some merchants
who practice them to gain trade.
1t is also surprising that so few
take the trouble to calculate that
all this noise, confusion and hustle
costs money, and the patrons of the
establishment which practices them
have to pay for it. Legitimate and
delicate advertising, such as cOurte-
Gus notice, that "our house has a good

GOSPEL MEETINGS
COME OACLOSE---WONDERFUL
WORK ACCOMPLISHED
N THE PAST TWO WEEKS.

In our last issue we said the Gospel
meetings held at the Opera-hOuse
would close Sunday night, but the
power for good has been so great that
it seemed the people were unwilling.
for the evangelist to leave. A petit
ton was circulated and signed by
every one to whom it was presented,
regardless of church or calling. This
caused DIR. Wharton to agree to re-
main over until Tuesday night. Mon
dav night he was again importuned
by DIR. Penick asking an expression
of the immense audience without
having consulted the evangeli-D to
remain with us during the week and
cancel his engagement at Little Rock,
Ark. TO this request every man, wo-
man and child responded by rising to
their feet.
DIR. Wharton said he had asked
Little Rock to release him, and they
had refused. That it seemed from
the action taken by the people in re-
spending to DIR. Penick's request that
he was not in it, 80 he would leave
the matter with Shreveport and Lit
tie Rock. No answer was received
from Little Rock at noon Tuesday,
and the evangelist announced his
final meeting be Tuesday night.
This announcement fell upon the
congregation with with wave Of
universal regret Never before i'll
our life has it been our pleasure and
privilege to witness SO general feel
ing manifested by all without regard
to creed or church. In fact both saint
and sinner unite with one accord in
saying that Dr. Wharton has been a
power for good to this city and com
munity, and long after he has left us
his coming Will be blessed by hun
dreds who feel that he has shown
them a better life and better way. He
has made many homes happier, and
been the means of causing hundreds
to stop and think and change their
lives. Let us hope that these re-
solves may be carried out to the end
Of life. Again we repeat that his go
ing from MS is spoken of with uni
versal regret Wherever he may go
the prayers and best wishes of
united people will follow him from
this city. He has not only made the
churches better, but in that persua-
sive and pleading way peculiar to
himself J the man Of the world has
been made better for having gone to
hear him. Surely the power of God
is with this man.
Goodbye, DR.. Wharton! your com
ing among us has caused bright and
beautiful spot to ever remain in our
lives, and your leaving one long, ling
eriDg regret.

Pure scuppernong wine, 81 per gal
Ion, at Lees.


Tuesday night was the finale Of the
Gospel meetings. An immense audi
cnce packed the Opera-house. II was
a fitting close TO a grand and successful
series Of two weeks meetings.
DR. Wharton, after one Of his soul
stirring appeals to the ungOdly TO turn
from their wicked ways. closed by in
yiting all who felt that they wished to
cad a better life to come forward and
give him his or her hand. Fully one
hundred and fifty people obeyed this re-
quest eagerly, and many more arose in
the audience.
II seemed hard that the evangelist
must cut short his work before the har-
vest, 80 ripe. should be finished. He
thanked the people, one and all, Of
Shreveport that they had with one ac-
cord stood by him in the past two weeks.
He thanked the ministers for their
faithful and earnest work as yoke fcl-
lows i'm these meetings.
He then asked if there were any
members Of the different denominations
who wished to speak a word in behalf
of their particular church as to the in
huence the meetings had upon those of
their own denominations. Col. IL. II.
Lindsay and Hon. J. Henry Shepherd
spoke for th Presbyterian and Judge G.
ID. Hicks for the Methodist. Mr. Shep-
herd spoke more particularly Of the in
lucncc upon business men and men Of
the world, and paid & high tribute TO
the evangelist and thanked him for
coming aid the good nc had accom-
plished.
A general vote of thanks was given
to Manager Carter for the use of the
Opera-house; to the press for its faith
full work in reporting the meetings: to
the orgaHist and immense choir led by
Mr.. Cyrus Steere during the meetings.
In fact DIR. Wharton seemed TO feel so
good that he thanked everybody, and
with a benediction to the Lord the i'm
mense congregation took their final
leave.
During the meetings a collection was
taken up for DR.. WhartOn's orphanage
in Baltimore and good sum was raised.
A committee of gentlemen composed
of Messrs. j. III. Prescott, George A.
Turner, G. ID. Hicks, V. L. Fulton, F. II.
Gosman. Captain Williams, Allen Nor
ris, w. f. Glassell, unknown to the
evangelist, went quietly over the city
and raised over five hundred dollars
this was unsolicited by DR.. Wharton
yet the citizens, without regard to
church or creed, saint or sinner, re-
sponded cheerfully.
DIR. Wharton, by rising vote of the
entire congregation, was invited to visit
Shreveport again. He was assured the
freedom of the city.
The PROGRESS joins with the united
voice Of Shreveport in asking Dr.
Wharton TO come again, and that very
soon.

Further up Texas street workmen are

did concrete side walk. Out through

ings are being erected and completed.
Our suburban citizens seem to be in

Really it is a delight to the eye to
look at the beautiful terraced yards
every where we 20. 1t is with regret
that we are forced to mention the
fact that our police jury, who are the
controllers of one of the handsomest
squares in our city, have SO long ig-
nored the fact that they are daily in
contempt of a city ordinance relative
to sidewalks. III any citizen in Cad

order that emanates from this august
body the sheriff and his whole possee
are after him in hurry. Why
should Caddo parish be any greater
than the most humble citizen? Gen

himsy excuse that you havn't got the
money; your parish treasurer's report
shows better. How many poor men
have had to mortgage their property

prive their families of bread to com
ply with the sidewalk ordinancei Is
