THE EXCURSION.

Five hundred persons arrived
here last Sunday at IL o'clock, on
an excursion train from Thibo-
desux. The excursionists we're
met at the train by committees OF
the fire department, town authori-
ties, board of trade and the citi-
zens, who escorted them to the
stand and platform that was erec-
ted for the occasion.
An address of welcome was de-
livered by Mr.. F. T. Guilbeau, for
the organizations and people OF
st. Martinville, which was respon-
ded to by Mr.. H. N. Coulon OF
Thibodeaux, in behalf of the ex-
cursiOnists.
The excursionists then disper-
sed and visited the town, after
which they returned to the grove
and INDUCED in dancing.
The excursion was not as large
as the promoters expected it to be,
which was due to the bad weather,
and the pleasure and comfort al
this place was interrupted at In
tervals by showers of rain.
Our people did their best to en-
certain their guests, and we hope
every one of the party left oul
town satisfied with their visit.

it less and less as the nOlv day OF our

Doubtless il is well that one day should
be set apart tor the returning Of special

Better little thankfulness for every
day of the 500 than great deal saved
for one. BY acknowledging each bless

Thursday of this mos tn Than&sgiy-
ing holiday In the day of prosperity
be jovial, but IN the day of adversely
consider Ecclesiastes 7:14" Is that not
an appropriate proclamation for this
year? Wonder how many Of US will
consider the poor and needy around US
this Thanksgiving, and instead of load

urtes will be consistent enough to share
with our more needy neighbors?
