Catholic Fair.


The annual fair for the benefit of the
Catholic church opened at S o'clock this
afternoon at Ascension Hall, and will
continue throughout tomorrow and Mon
day The entertainment this year is I'M
der the management of Henry A. Terrio.
and to all who Sre acquainted with that
indefatigable $50 ker and capable director
it is unnecessary to state that nothing
has been left undone which could in any
way promote the success of the festi-
val or add TO the pleasure and enjoyment
of all who may attend. A number of
prettiIy decorated booths have been
erected and are in charge of attractive
and obliging young ladies, and it is prom
Used that there viii be plenty Of anuse-
m ent for young and old and all kinds of
good things to eat and drink. Mrs. j. C.
Babin win have charge of the restaurant.
which is guarantee that the patrons of
that department will be treated to many
dainty and.appetizing dishes.
With anything like favorable weather
the entertainment will undoubtedly be
generously patronized and achieve a de-
pree Of success commensurate with it's
merits and the worthy cause for which it

s, j. G. I. Notes. :.

This week the pupils have been hard at
work preparing for the first biannual ex-
animation. All the teachers have ex-
pressed themselves as much pleased with
the work done and they are sanguine that
the results will be creditable. Parents
are again urged to see that their boys
perform the home work given by the
teachers. It is only through this constant
cooperation of parent and teachers that
the child can be benefited.
Bro. Laurence, teacher of the sixth and
seventh grades. was called by his superior
to Bay st. Louis. where he will be project
of the junior department of ST. Stanislaus
College. Bro. Laurence is a splendid
teacher. and while here greatly endeared
himself to his pupils by his earnest work
and suavity of manner The faculty is
very sorry to lose him, as he was not only
an adornment of the classroom but also
q pleasant companion in leisure hours
Bro. Celestianus, who replaces him, is moi
unknown here, for ne was a member
Of the faculty OF this institution thirteen
years ago.

greet if any injustice has been done to
