-Messrs. II l.. Smith and Leon
Dreyfus were out last Thursday
canvassing the town in the inter-
ests of the free delivery system for
this city. They received very
much encouragement by all with
whom they came III contact and the
requisite amount was almost Sc
cured. Lake Charles secured the
great public boon, and why should

requirements for the system. All
that is necessary is to present our
claims backed up by facts of the
case, and we shall have it. Let

a matter OF great convenience.

The event Of the week was the
presentation Of the play entitled
A Man of Honor, by the Jefferson
Dramatic Club Of our city. The
audience was very large, notwith-
standing the threatening weather,
which eliminated in regular
downpour after the audience was
seated, and then generously abated
about the time the audience left the
building. The play being by
amateurs from our home people,
was for that reason particularly
interesting and the hits Of each
performer were roundly applauded.
1t would be invidious to single out
any one performer, but to say that
all acquitted themselves splendidly
and to the satisfaction Of the large
audience. One, q representative

had enjoyed it more than anything
he had attended this season. We
can however say, that the playing
Of Mrs. DeGeneres was in her usual
happy strain, making her piano
interpret the beautiful thoughts OF
the masters. The Pelican State
Band also must be given its need
of praise for its excellent music,
which contributed so much to the
enjoyment Of the occasion. The
members OF Teche Encampmen|
Knights of Temperance, through
their encampment have rendered
thanks to all concerned, not for.
