The Watchman-Lake Providence, La. April 8, 1875
  The river will not rise much higher this place this year. But old Town is 
under water.
  The new town authorities are doing vry well considering the limited abount 
of money at their command.  Push the amended charter through at the extra 
session, Senator Gla, and we'll bless you.
  Rev. N. S. Cornell is the able minster assigned to this circuit by the M.E. 
Church South for this year.  His appointments are as follows :  In Providence 
1st and 3rd Sundays; at Pecan Grove 2nd and 4th Sunday.  St. Paul said "Heed 
this, ye churchmen."
  The zealous Rector of Grace Church (Episcopal) is ever at his post, preching 
every Sunday without fail.  Mr. Christian is greatly esteemed by his 
Parishioners, and by the Community generally.  But regligon may be said to be 
at low ebb in Providence.  An unfortunate selection was made however in the 
location of Grace Church, as during the rainy season many were totally 
debarred from attending church by reason of the mud across the break.
  We are delighted to  learn that the Rev. Father Quilard has been ordered to 
return and ake charge of the Catholic congregation at this place.  This is 
indeed good news to his parishioners.
