A Day Of Delightful Entertainment.

Day Of Delightful Entertainment.
AS previously announced in the Banner,
the Confederate monument recently erect
ed in this place will be publicly unveiled |
on Tuesday of next week-t the 3Oth. The
local chapter of the United Daughters of
the Confederacy has arranged the program
for the entertainment of the public and the
days several features will be under their
auspices.
me unwilling ceremony will take place
in the forenoon about eleven O'Clock.
The crowd will then repair to the school
grounds, near by, where a big dinner will
be served about 1880. The ladies will
spare no pains to make this in every way
a delight to all, and especially is it hoped
that every Confederate veteran in this and
adjoining parishes will be present to share
in the hospitality and general good cheer.
Already about $40 has been subscribed by
residents of this place toward the dinner
and this will be chiefly used in the pur-
chase of meats to be barbecued by that
master at the art, Mr.. E. S. Burt There
will be plenty for all, all right, and we
might mention incidentally that Bruns-
wick stew will perhaps be included in the
bill of fare.
The addresses will be made in the after.
noon by Gen. Thomas Shaffer of St. Mary
Parish and DR.. j. A. Parker of this place
This will be treat to the old veterans and
the public and will by far not be the least
attractive feature of the day.
This will close the days program, so far
as we are informed, though the boys about
town are trying to arrange for ball game
to follow late in the afternoon.
If you can you should lay aside your
duties for that one day and join the crowd.
It goes without saying that where so many
old friends are gathered together you
would have an enjoyable time. We expect
every one will, and if not, surely it will
not be the fault Of the s'daughters," who
expect to leave nothing undone in that
direction.
This is YOUR invitation. Be present ii
you can.
