Marshal p. C. Smith, of our town,

men at work cleaning up the streets

for her "perfect poem entitled,

Vaudeville is assuming her sum-
mer attire, and people are coming
to enjoy here among its beauties
what they cannot enjoy in any Of the
surrounding watering places, viz:
rest and quiet, with the great COM
fort Of knowing one does not have
to be dressed in the height Of
fashion, but throw off the shackles
Of city life and take ones ease for
awhile. We can boast Of three
good hotels, as well as numerous
comfortable houses (Which, by the
way, are nearly all rented).
The tradespeople have made
every preparation so as to be able
to cater to the tastes of all. and /
feel safe in saying they will give
satisfaction

sister, Mrs. DR.. Watkins.
Several Of our gay young gallants
are talking of organizing . string
band. Go ahead, boys; it's just
what we want.

Mrs. Prudhomme has sold her ele-
CANT residence, Mr.. Fabackcr, Of
New Orleans, being the lucky pur-
chaser.
Mr.. Trisconi and family are
booked rs guests at Dennis hotel

Neptune never gave more favora-
BILE winds than was given to the lit
tie Vita as she sailed from the foot
Of Carroll street last Saturday night,
at 3 o'clock, with jolly crowd led
by Hon. Gus Depre, all thinking
there never was such . happy crowd
as they, for they were confident Of
their success at fishing, and not
with . "silver hook" either, but
with . great big drag net. Their
anticipations were certainly real
lied, for they caught Is Mobilian
turtles, IL sheephead, 10 red fish,
16 rock fish, each averaging 81
pounds, IS dozen soft-shelled crabs,
Is dozen croakers and "a founders.
There was no time to count catfish,
etc. They don't count in . case
like this, you know.
Now the above is . not . fish
story" they say it amt, and We
believe them. Among the happy
ones were Hon. Gus Depre, Coun.
Gilman Charles Mugnier, Jules Ro-
quet, John Miller, Emile Dubourgh,
John David, owner and sailor Of the |
boat, and Gustave Virtue. cook. |
We thank them for their generous
offer Of their {" CATCH"
Mr.. Charles David, of Abita, was
the guest of the Crescent last Sum
day.
Keep your eye open and watch
for the new enterprise which is to
crop out in the building opposite
big wharf. which Mr.. Ben Marlgny
has improved 50 wonderfully.
