Simon Moyse and their fair parishoner,
Miss Flora Joseph. Mr. S. Bloch of Wel
come store, Assumption, also called the
same evening, and we were glad to see r
each member of the agreeable trio. t
It appears that the Clark plantation,
which has long borne the title of boss of s
the Burnside places in the fifth ward, by I
'reason of its sugar crop annually exceed- t
ing tlwse of its neighbors, was beaten in f
.this respect, last season, by the Orange c
Grove. The crop of the Clark place was t
635 hogsheads, while the Orange Grove
produced a total of 690. A pair of ant
lers had been placed on the vacuum pan
in the Clark sugar-house, surmounted by I
the legend "Come and take them," and
ornamented with tihe inevitable blue rib
ben; and when a deputation from I
prange Grove responded to the invita- 1
tion to come and .take them, manager !
Tucker gave up the horns with a good I
grace, doubtless resolving inwardly that '
they should be recaptured next season if
hard work and circumspect management 1
could accomplish the task. I
Representative Pierre-Landry was in
town FrA4ayQ Saturday, and Sunday of
last week, looking after the interests of
the St. Peter M. E. Church. While here
he attended a meeting of the Board of
Trustees, was present at the quarterly
conference, and conducted the regular
services in his church. Mr. Landry is a
delegAte to the Annual .Coqfereice
