The Natchitoches enterprise., 1913-06-26


The band does it practicing down
town now and every Tuesday and
Friday afternoon large crowds are out
to enjoy the concerts which are given
in front of Lays Candy Kitchen or
The Lecomte.
The gravel for the street paving has
been hauled and work on the upper
section has progressed most satisfac-
torily. All of the curbings is finished,
the leveling of the streets too, and
with the material all on hand, now
there need be no delay in finishing the
paving of all of Front Street.
Emancipation day was duly cele-
brated by our colored citizens last
Thursday with big frolic over at the
park when all kinds of amusements
were provide base ball, prize fights,
races, dancing ETC., and while there
were hundreds in attendance the order
and behavior were exceptionally good
all day, no disturbance of any kind
occurring to mar the pleasures.
Mrs. T. P. Chaplin and daughters
Misses Veva and Inez sent out over
200 invitations for reception in honor
of the 1918 graduates last Wednesday
night, to which a great many guests
responded and enjoyed a pleasant eve
ming. Seats were placed out on the
Southeast lawn while the north lawn
formed the Stage setting for charades
that proved novel and interesting and
beautiful violin solo by Miss July Brea-
zeale was much enjoyed. Dancing fol-
lowed and it was quite late before the
young people separated.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. P. Wemp have
taken charge of the Lecomte, Mr.. and
Mrs. Worsham having withdrawn from
the management and gone back to
Leesville. Mr.. Wemp is a most affable
gentleman.
Mrs. Wemp has the reputation of
being one of the best housekeepers in
North Louisiana and her daughters are
also accomplished in the art so the
travelling public will have every reason
to be satisfied and The Enterprise ex-
presses the wish that the new mana
gers will be successful in their under
taking.
The wind and rain that caused de-
cided drop in the temperature made it
very pleasant indoors Friday night
when Miss July Breazeale entertained
at dance in honor Of her attractive
guest Miss Lemore of Mobile.
The piano music played by Miss Kile
and string band kept the dancers
moving very briskly until late hour
and every body declared that it had
been one of the most enjoyable dances
of the season.

of The Round Table Tuesday afternoon
when a most delightful evening was

Hill the second, Mrs. Alice DeBlieux
the general consolation. A sumptious
turkey luncheon followed by cream and
cakes was served to the guests who
besides club members included Mines.
Wemp, Johnson, and Misses DeBlieux
and Morse.

While not entirely completed, still
it was far enough SO, for services to
be held in the new Methodist Church
Sunday, of last week as the old one
that was bought by the W. o. w. was
turned over to that Lodge on June
lst. The new building was arranged
so that it could be used very comforta-
bly, and very large congregations have
turned out at both morning and even
ing services as well as for Sunday
School. The dedication ceremonies will
not be held until later when everything
is entirely cmpleted.
The unsightly old stables on St.
Denis that while they havenot been
in use for long time stood as land
marks, for 10! these many decades
have been demolished and while no
new buildings will be erected for the
present, the improvement is marked
and would be even more so if the
neiphhoring ones too would be torn
