The Lake Charles echo., 1894-03-02


eleaiiest aud best assorted stocks Of fancy
and staple groceries were brought to this
city and the products Of the Cream Bak-
cry are simply delicious. Give them
cali.
One Of the principal real estate deals
Of The past was the sale of the Stone
residence, corner of Broad and Ford
streets to Mr.. II. IT, Mason for 5000.
This is generally eopsidered a. very
moderate price.
The new two story building on Court
street, next TO the Lake House is nearly
completed, We understand that the
first floor will be occupied as saloon
and the second as a portion of the dornd-
tory Of the Lake House.
Two negro men were frozen to death
during the blizzard of last Friday |
night or the early morning of Saturday.
As yet We have net been able to learn
the particulars, except that the prime
cause was bad whiskey, augmented by
the blizzard,
The west side of Ryan street between
Broad and Division is at last being put
ip shipshape, much to the delight Of the
patrons of the p0stoifice. There il only
one thing that would satisfy us better
and that would be a fine row of brick,
iron front buildings along the line.
notwithstanding the three hundred
and more dwelling houses recently built
in this city, the cry is for more honses
and many more could be rented at a good
price. We predict that when the spring
time comes the building boom viii COM
menee on larger scale than ever before.
Mr.. Jonas Lowenstien, formerly with
Hireh a Son, will at an early day open
out a fruit and confectionery establish
nept at the old stand of Murry a. Brooks,
first door south Of the Chayanne Shoe
store. Here will be found the very best
of tropical and domestic fruits as well as
all kinds Of summer drinks No intoxi-
cants,
Monday morning dawned bright and
clear, and although the night had been
little cold and frosty, the genial face ofold |
Sci soon dissipated all traces of the small
winter we have been enjoying for the |
past few days. AZ yet the fruit is uHiu-
juFed and We look forward with almost
certainty to D plentiful crop the coming |
summer.
DR.. }. A. McKepney, late ofst. Joseph,
Mo-, was a caller at the EcHo office last
Monday, The doctor comes well reconl-
plended and as will be seen In another

The Baptist church here discontinued
the special services which lasted oyer
two weeks last Monday night. During |
the entire time the house was crowded |
each night with attentive listeners and |
as result the aeeessions to the church |
numbered forty. Some thirty,two win |
or have already been received upon pro-
fassien Of faith and baptism and ten or
twelve others Nv letter Or restoration.
