ries of the order in full robes, it

bevy of pretty little girls, each

Mr.. E. A. Maraist's float was
handsome and was a credit to the
young merchant who displayed a
great deal of taste.

A PROTEST.

Mr.. Editor:
Some men are always ready aud
anxious to find fault with the la
dies who occasionally engage in an
inofensive game of euchre for
pastime or a little recreation. You
men are unreasonable, unjust to-
wards women, you are always rea-
dy to impede their pleasures and
recreation, and plead for the home
that many of the hypocrites do not
care so much Tor.
Men think it is not only reason
bic, but stylish and up-to-date for
them to sport bad cigar when
vending their way towards the
club room or the saloon, and there
gamble the money that should go
to the dutiful wife to buy the neres-
saries of life for the family, that
five cents invested in al i'll smell
ing cigar would do much more
good invested in bread, and the
husband would have tendency TO
keep his good wife at home if that
would be the place for him to
spend his leisure moments instead
of the saloon where he indulges
very often in gambling, bad cigars
and injurious whisky.
l believe that ladies should have
their pleasures aud recreation as
we'll as men, as long as their plea
sure and recreations are not repre-
hensible. and l believe no man of
reason or judgment, will find fault
with an occasional game of euchre.
Some cranks will find fault with
everything, and as far as the
cranks are concerned, / do not care
a straw for what they will say,
they can talk themselves hoarse if
they feel like it.
But l do care of the criticism
and censure for men of reason and
judment.
l am one of those who OCCASION
ally play a game of euchre, and l
do not believe there is anything
wrong and reprehensible in that.
Very Respectfully,
EUCHRE PLAYER.

The Glorious Fourth.

The day of American iudepen-
dence, the Glorious Fourth of Ju-
" was celebrated here in a most
fitting manner, and the display
made on that memorable anniver-
sary of American liberty by the
Woodmen of the World and the
St. Martinyille Brass Band, aided
by our people, was worthy OF this
grand occasion.
In the afternoon the st. Martin
Vile Brass Band played some
sweet pieces on the streets, then
went to the Ledoux park to wit
ness the game Of base ball be-
tween the Breaux Bridge and st.
Martinville junior teams, they
played very interesting game
which was in favor Of our young
friends from Breaux Bridge, the
score being Z to /.
After the ball game there was a
pony race between three horses.
This part of the program could
have been improved upon, but if
the people will consider the short
time allowed the committee, they
will not offer any criticism.
After the game at tie park was
over, all went back to town, and
all were anxiously waiting to see
what kind of display would be
made, some did not expect much,
because the time to prepare pre-
cession of this kind was two short,
and many of our people did not
even get the decorating material
to make display of their places
Of business and homes, although
we can say the decoration of bull
diDgs were plenty and very pretty,
aud the national emblem and ma
tional colors We're TO be seen every
where, and also the boys aud girls
were all wearing the red, white
and blue ribbons that added charm
and beauty to the celebration.
The procession was formed and
paraded the streets. it was headed
by a mounted force of Police fol-
lowed by the St. Martinville Brass
Band; following the band was the
grand marshal, Judge James ST.

prize.
The prize for the most popular
young lady in town was awarded
to Miss Belle Guirard, and as Mr..
Martin we'll said in his address,
that this prize went to the really
most popular young lady in town,
and this is really true, for Miss
Guirard - young lady possessed
of many accomplishments, her
character, her public spirit and
her kindness to all, and her readi-
ness at all times to give her valua-
BILE assistance when needed, make
her what she was proclaimed by
popular vote, the most popular
young lady in town.
The euchre game followed and
a very large number of people took
a hand in the game which made it
one of the pleasing features of this
beautiful celebration.
The celebration was a complete
success.
