First Excursion from New
Orleans over Texas and
Pacific Railroad.
The town was filled with visitors
last Sunday who came on the excur
sion from New Orleans. The train
reached here at about 1 o'clock an
hour after It was due. A large crowd
of people were at the depot to wel
come the excursionists. People were
also lined up along either side of the
bridge awaiting the excursion. Many
people did not go over, as a toll was
collected and people being under the
impression that crossing was free
came without their toll and were
obliged to return home or take a po.
sition on the bridge.
The excursionists had a beautiful
day and left highly pleased with their
outing, the only discontent was that
.he stay was not long enough There
was danciug at the Opera House and
a number of other amusements for
the benefit of the visitors under the
auspices of Thibodaux Fire Co. No.
1. An iateresting game of base ball
at Toups Park also served to enter,
lain them. The excursion train con
sisted of nine coaches and they were
filed to their capacity. The excur
sionists left a very good impression
lxhind and all compliment the New
Orleans Glee Club on their success
and hope to have the pleasure of
their company again at some future
day.

"Lost Their Monley."
Baton Rouge, August, 1. 1901.
To Oua Svascaznsas:-Several
years ago feehng that we were not
getting a first elass sand effilcient tele
phone service in the town of Baton
Kouge, we organized and put in oper
ation a telephone exchange, owned
and operated by local people, under
the name of the Merchants,A& Planters
Telephone Company.
We have endeavored to gwve value
received for the mondy, and believe
that we have succeeded. We finad,
however, that a teleplaone plant s
both expenasve and troublesome to
operate, and that it requires for the
successful operation of the plant the
coastant attention of skilled operators
and workmen.
The Cumberland Telephone & Tel
egraph Company, a corporation which
employs the highest class of skilled
labor, and devotes itself entirely to
the telephone business, having estab
lished itself in our town, we feel that
it ls to the best interests of all for us
to dspose of our property, and quit
the business No town is large en
ough for two telephone companies,
and in taking this step we believe that
we are actig for the best iuterest. of
all parties concerned.
We have lost money in the venture,
but we congratulate ourselves and the
people of Baton Rouge upon the fact
that we now have as good telephone
service as can be obtained anywhere.
We heartily recommend the service
of the Cumberland Tel, phone & Tele
graph Company to our present sub,
scribers, and to all who may desire
telephone service.
