The children's services at the Episco-

The trade from West Carroll this
week has been the largest for years
We saw four teams driven by colored
men, and the wagons were filled-bed-
steads, stoves, flour and dry goods in
large quantities, which shows that that
part of the country is prosperous.
Part.of Aschaffenburg & Nicholson's
levee outfit passed through town on
Wednesday for the upper part OF
Bunch's Bend. By Monday they ex-
pect to have their full force on the
ground. and will try TO rush the con-
tract through as quick as possible.
Captain V. M. Purdy is always to
the front when it comes to public en-
terprise. He told us that if bank
was started in Providence he would
give the four lots that he owns at The
corner of Lake e. Scarborough streets
aud take stock for them. 1t would
be the pretiiest sight in town for a
| bank.
Mr.. Lindmore Brown raised dis
turbance on the streets Tuesday even
| ing and resisted arrest, for which
Mayor Hamley fined him $25 and costs
or thirty days liz Jail. Marshal Blount
took great deal from Mr.. Brown, aud
should have placed him in Jail before
he did. Mr.. Brown deserved what he
got.

Mr.. McRae is offering the prettiest
line of Christmas goods 10 the trade
than was crer brought to town. His
prices are down to the bottom rail,
and to-day and up to Christmas eve
he is going to almost give things away.
Go to-day and make your purchases,
aud avoid the rush besides the pick
of everything will be there.
The choir of the Catholic Church
always make it point to haye fine
music for Christmas, aud this year will
be no exception TO the rule. They
have quietly rehearsed their Christ
mas music, and will be ready to rend-
er next "Wednesday the finest music
in the town. We sincerely hope to
hear the fine voice of our friend, Mr..
Xav Ransdell, on the occasion.
White and McRae are doing most
of the business simply because they
advertise merchants who do business
like their grsndfathers did fifty years
ago, would not believe it when we
told them to advertise, but they grad
ually came to think we were right
when they see customers passing their
stores to go to the up-to-the-times
merchants, W. N. White and w. G.
McRae.
Mr.. Blanche, from St. Joseph, La,
came up on Tuesday TO look at the
plant of the Providence Lumber Co.,
and left for bis home that evening
He said to US that he lad seen many
mills and was in the business himself
but that the Providence mill was the
most perfect and the best one that be
had seen in the State. We understand
he did some business with the Provi-
dence Lumber Company.

Schudder levee outfit, passed through
town OH Sunday morning last on bis
way TO Donna Vista, where he has
commenced charging the leyee. Mr.
Gano Cunningham has charge of the
teams, aud is considered one of the
best all round levee men on the river
We were glad TO see Gano, and learn
that he has worked himself up 10 q
place of such responsibility.
