The weather has been generally
favorable to the sugar planters
since the freeze of the 18th of las
month, which killed the bud of
the sugar cane-cool and dry. The
cool weather has prevented the
cane from becoming sour and the
dry weather has enabled the
planters TO utilize every working
hour in pushing the cutting aud
grinding of the cane. Most of the
planters in this parish will finish
grinding by Christmas, aud they
VIII lose but little on account of
the freeze.

in low spirits, and seemed in ill health.

to be given. He was employed in
the silk mill, but had not been work.

he heard about Lambertville in trav-
cling in various sections of the
United States, and how its fame had
extended even to Switzerland,
through the output of one of its
manufactures.
Plans for continuous booster adj
vertising were discussed at length,
and the matter was left in the hands

Church Holds Pleasing Reception.

The congregation of the New Hope
Presbyterian church rendered the
pastor, Rev. J. Hastings Patterson,
and the fifty new members of the
church most pleasing banquet and
reception last Thursday evening, in
Rockers hall.
Never in the history of the church
has so many joined it at one time;
so it was, naturally, a very happy
occasion. The very active and eff
ficient Ladies Aid Society had charge
of the banquet, and they did them
selves proud. The hall was beauti-
fully decorated With plants and
flowers. The long tables were most
attractive to look upon.
About one hundred and fifty sat
down to the banquet and it was
happy. jolly bunch. Roy A. Large
acted as toast master. Short ad-
dresses were made by Rev. w. w.
Harris, pastor of Thompson Memoir
al church; George P. Rockwell, DR..
R. G. Magill and DR.. ]. E. Scott.
Many musical numbers were sung
by the audience and vocal solos were
rendered by Rev. j. H. Patterson
and Elizabeth Major. Mrs. R. C.
Magill played several beautiful violin
solos; Miss Ethel Myers presided at
the piano.
During the festivities, DIR. Magill,
in a very neat and witty speech,
presented Mr.. Patterson, on behalf
of the congregation, with a purse,
bullying with long green's" This
quite took the wind out of the jolly
Scotchman's sails, but quickly re-
covering himself he responded in a
very neat appreciative address. The
evening was very pleasant one to
all present; and it may be made an
annual affair. 4
