The Democratic victory in the
State has been so sweeping, says the
Baton Rouge Advocate, that for the
first time since Reconstruction began

for the tirst time iu the history Of

be composed exclusively of Demo-

The Flrem ems Parade.

On Wednesday occurred the an
nuai parade of the ThioOdaux Fire
Department, and it is the universal
opinion of those who witnessed II
that This years celebration surpassed
that Of any previous year.
Five companies in uniform pari
cipated in the parade this year,
whereas, heretofore, only four com.
panies were in line. The newest
addition to the Fire Department was
the Brooklyn Hose Co. which, though
youngest in point Of organization Is
the peer of any Of the Older compa.
nies as respects efficiency.
THIS town may we'll feel proud of
its fire companies, for, We do not
believe that in any part Of the State
3 there better organized depart
ment in the volunteer service than
the one which so zealously guards
our hearths and firesldes here from
the devastating element. Oar fire
Department Is not only fine body
Of men on a parade, but II Is seen ~
equal advantage when fighting a
tire.
The parade of this year started
from the court house square, and.
headed by Hon. Andrew Price, MS
Grand Marshal, with one aid from
each company, and tnree bands Of
music insterpersed in the procession,
the five companies OF the Department,
each preceded by its Mar.nais and
followed by Its honorary members IN
carriages, went down Main Street to
jackson, down jackson to Baker, up
Baker ~ Lower Canal, then along
this street to Market, up Market "
Green, down Green to Rose, from
Rose into st. Philip and thence, to
the point of departure, where the
parade was dismissed.
After housing their engines and
trucks, the various companies gath
cred in the grounds OF the Opera
House, where they We're entertained
with music by the bands. Lunch was
then announced, and, after Justice
had been done to the eatables pro-
vided, the tiremen were invited to
visit the hall of the Tuxedo Club,
where the Grand Marshal and his
aids We're waiting to receive the
firemen. In order to prevent over
crowding, but one company at a time
were invited into the Club room. 1t
is needless to say that the flremen
were very Hospitality entertained by
the distinguished Grand Marshal and
Aids.
The evening was spent in serenad.
lug various persons in the town, and
it was after ten 2. NJ. when the last
strains Of the bands and the cheers
OF the happy f,emen died away on
the streets.
1t would be ividious to speak of
the various decorations used IN the
parade in terms of comparison, and
1t will suffice to say that good taste
and elegance presided over the ar
rangements by which the trucks aud
engines were made to take ON their
gala dress.
The streets through which the pa.
rade passed were lined with beautiful
ladies and children in holiday attire
and this was not the least of tue at
fractions of the firemen's holiday
procession.
