On the 8th inst., posters inviting bids for
repairing the Donaldsonville wharf were
displayed throughout the town, and yester
day, the 12th inst., was fixed as the limit of
the period for receiving proposals. Up to
half past 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon no
bids had been handed in, but we believe the
Mayor received one after that hour. The
Council will probably be called together
Monday to take such action in the premi
ses as may be necessary to secure the re
pair of the wharf within the least possible
delay.
For the benefit of the lovers of the MAN
aATrA 5-cent cigars, I will state that these
cigars can also be had at Rogge & Lang
becker's Barber shop, Mrs. Brunet's anod
Mrs. Boudreaux's groceries. Ask only for
Manlhatta. S.S. INGMAN.
Our enterprisiin neighbor, Mr. Patrick
Reddington, has had the ceilings, picture
frames and hanging lamps of his popular
saloon freshly decorated with fancy colored
paper, cut in handsome patterns. He spares
no pains to maintain the attractive appear
ance of the Mechanics' Exchange, besides
keeping its bar stocked with the best liquors
and cigars in the market. The pocket flasks
of Parole, Diamond Wedding, Silver Wed
ding, Thistle Dew, and other brands of
whiskies kept on sale at the Exchange bar
will be found agreeable traveling compan
ions by all who like a good drink, and the
free-smoking Rosebud cigar, a five center,
has no superior anywhere.
