re the Public.

I beg to announce that for the time
being have discontinued my automo-
bile service between Donaldsonville
and Bayou Goula. About Sept. 1 5 or
Oct. 1. when the gravel road has been
completed to extend continuously to
Port Allen, shall inaugurate an au-
tobus service between that point and
Donaldsonville, operating two Spas
senger cars on regular schedule of
four round trips a day, at passenger
fare of 3 cents mile.
In the meantime, the REQ Route
will continue to maintain a rapid and
reliable service between Donaldson
vile and NapoIeonville. Six round
trips are made daily, and adequate
facilities for both white and colored
passengers are provided on each trip
Thanking the public for the gener-
Gus measure of patronage accorded
my cars, and soliciting continu-
ance of the good will manifested in
this regard, am,
Respectfully, K. 4. AUcoIN.

GERMANIA PARK.
New Dancing Resort in Upper As
cension Proving Popular.

cension Proving Popular.
w. C. Hayward, of Hohen Solms,
visited DonaIdsonville Wednesday on
business and was a welcome caller
at this office. Mr.. Hayward said the
open-air dance pavilion he recently
erected at Germania is proving a pop
ular attraction, more than 200 per-
sons having attended the dance there
last Sunday. Among them We're a
number of visitors from Donaldson
vile, White Castle, Bayou Goula, Pla-
quemine and other points. None but
the best class of people were repre-
sented in the gathering, and they are
the only kind the new resort will ca
ter to, said Mr.. Hayward.
The dancing pavilion can accom-
modate $50 couples, and situated as
it is in the center of a grove of beau
tiful trees, without roof or enclosure
of any kind, it is ideally adapted for
Terpsichorean frolies at this season
Of the year. Acetylene gas and coal
oil are used for Illuminating purposes,
and some novel effects have been
achieved in this line, giving the park
a most attractive and brilliant ap-
peararlce at night. Refreshments of
various kinds are sold at reasonable
prices, and the small fee of SO cents
per couple is exaeted for dancing,
music for which is furnished by the
Germania string band.
For the accommodation of persons
from this city or intervening points
who may wish to attend the dances,
Mr.. Hayward has made arrangements
to have automobiles operated from
Donaldsonvil1e to Gern1anla Park
every Sunday evening, charging the
low rate of so cents per passenger for
the round trip. Touring cars will
leave the X-Ray Pharmacy at s and
8 80 p. M, and one Of the big buses
of the Inter-Parish Rapid Transit
Company will depart at 8 p. m. Ger
mania Park is located only ten miles
from Donaldsonville and the road is
graveled all the way, hence the run
from this city can be made in half
hour or less. Dancing may be contin-
ued as long as the crowd desires.

received several complaints from
property owners that the garbage was
not being promptly removed by the
garbage wagons when placed out for
that purpose. Mr.. Leblanc and Mr..

in most cases it was due to the fact

err days than the regular days for

ever, cautioned against any neglect
of duty in this respect, and their at
tention called to the fact that there is
an ordinance requiring the garbage
