A Disgusting Exhibition.
One of the most disgusting and
loathsome sights seen in this town
for many years was the snake eating
exhibition on Main street during the
week. The show is the most degrad
ing and debasing ever performed in a
civilixed community, and how inteli
gent people can tolerate it is beyond
our comprehension. Such exhibitions
are neither instrutive nor wholesme,
and they should be run out of town.
Snake.eaters have no place in a
decent community and their absence
would be appreciated.
Croquet Party.
A Croquet Party was had by seve
ral of our young men and ladies last
Sunday evening on the grounds ad

FIREMEN'S PARADE. c
The Grandest Ever Witnessed a
Here. i
A Magnificent Spectacle.
The long expected and much talked .
of Firemens parade is now recorded A
as a grand success of the past. In 1
point of magfleceqce. style and ar-
tistic finish it has surpassed even the
brilliant efforts of its predeceseors,
bwhich is saying much in its favor.
Wednesday's festival was not only
a signal success i itself giving cause
to our gallant firemens for rejoicing, t
hat t also had a deeper meaningb
which gives hope for the future. It
was the evidence of a re-awakentin
of an interest on the part of both the a
iremen and the people in matters
pertaining to the fire department, and
of a good esprit de corps among the
firemen, wiech, if properly cultivated
is bound to result in great good.
The weather on the occasion was
anything but encouraging. Dark and
omanous clouds dimmed the bright
effulgence of the atmosphere, and it
was feared that the pleasures of the
day would be marred by a downpour
of rain. However, such was not the
case, for although still threatening
during the parade, the sbower did not
come until everything was over.
Notwithstanding, the threatening
attitude of the elements long before
the hour appointed tor ito starting
of the pruc9Esion. a throng of peopli
from the town and country assembled
around the court house to witness the
formation of the parade.
The procession formed around the
eouare, and at the hour fixed, 4
o'clock, it started up Main street,
headed by the grand marshal, Dr.
Thos. Stark, and his aids, Messrs.
Dr. Ayo, Jno. D. Shsafer, Albert Bou
dreaux and F. Sevin. Following these
ihe procesiou marched in this order :
let. The Protector Fare Co. No. 2
beaded by Ih. maentie, Messrs. P.
H. Breaux, Thomas Roger, Emile
Lfort and Ed. Smithwie'k.
2nd. The Home Hook and Ladder
Co., preceded by its marshalls, Messrs.
O. E. Peltier and (us Guet.
3rd. The Thibodaux Bucket Bri
gade just behind its marshalls, Messrs.
Jno. McNamara, Dave Scally, W. P.
Martin, Chas. Daspit, Scadday Frost,
Dr. Joe. Drexler and Oscar Augellos.
4th. The Brooklyn Fire company
No. 3 following its marshall, Mr. Jos
Robichaur.
5th. The Thibodaux Fire Co. No.
1, with its marshalls, Messrs W. E.
Howell and Scott Williams.
The trucks of the vanrious com
panies were neatly and artistically
decorated sad evinced much skill and
taste on the part of the decorators.
Pretty little Carmen Legendre, on
the Protector's engine, was daintily
dressed in white and resembled a
veritable little fairy, while Masters

sight to behold sad evoked much
applause from the crowd. Massres
Psaule Aueoin, Cecile iDelas, Lure
Raviere, Viva Coulon, Mabel Taylor
and Ophelia Cointmsent, were in the
ship.
The procemssion folowed the route
publhshed in our last issue, the best
order and decorum prevailing through.
out the march and at sli times.
At the conclousion the firemen were
royally entertained by the grand
marshall, ably assisted by his aids.
After which the companies repaired
to their respective places and partook
of a ~bnmptious sepper.
After disbradmeg there was sone
serneuding done by ome o( the
companies, and by 8 o'clock the
glorio'sday was but a swreet memory

Mas. M. NAQUn.
The many friends and the commu
nity at large were deeply chagrined
to learn of the death of this veaness.
b:e and highly respected lady which
occurred at her home'on Canal street
lsst Monday night at the advanced
age of 84 yeats. Deceased was Miss
Azalee Bozelease Richard and mar
ried Mr. Maximillien Naquin, now
deceased, from which union eleven
children were born of whom four are
now living, viz: Emile, Ozemie, Al.
fred, and Emeline, and who are to
day worthy citizens of the community
in which they live.
She. had resi(ded in this town asice
1856. Deceased was a devout Cath
olic and always had a kind and en
couraging word to those in distress.'
Charitable to a fault, the has helped
many a poor mortal along the path
way of life
During her last illness she was sur
rounded by her family and many old
and sorrowing friends, she received
the last rites of the church which she
had sO faithfully served all her life
and died a true christian death.
Her fJmiliar flgre Wlii e ! lismed
and her loss to the community is a
serious one. The remains were in
terrei in the family tomb in the
Catholic cemetery Tuesday evening
at 5:30 and were followed by a large
concourse of sorrowing friends and
relatives who had come to pay their
last respects to their dear departed
friend. To the bereaved family the I

Is but a subPrb of the life elysian,
Whose portals we call death."
Ten Uses of Lemons.
A dash of lemon in plain water is
in excellent tooth wash. It not only
removes tartar, but .sweetens the
breath.
Two or three slices of lemon in a
cup of strong tea will care a nervous
headache.
Lemon juice (outward application)
will allay the irritation naused by the
bites of gnats and flies.
No family should be without lemons.
Their uses are almost too many for
enumeration.
The juice of a lemon' tken in hot
water on wakening in the morning, is
an excellent liver corective, and for
stout women is better than anti fat
medicine ever invented.
Glyue:lne and lemon juice half and
half, on a bit of abcorbent cotton, is
the best thing in the wogid wherewith
to moisten the lips an tongue of a
fever.parched patient.
