The Watchman- Feb. 26, 1876 February 25, 1876


  Cook's circus visited Providence for the first time, Wednesday at night the 
attendance was large.  The show gave general satisfaction, and was very good.  
The three trained dogs excelled any we have ever seen.
        

             
       The Raging Tads

  Some marauding individuals committed depredations, Wednesday night, on the 
store of Sam Sing in this town, at an hour when decent people should be 
alseep.  They came in front of his establishment, on the side walk, and fired 
several shots into his front door.  They then hurled oyster shells through his 
transo lights breaking out his glass.  Sam is a good, honest Chinese and such 
conduct is exceedingly repehensible in any one.  Cannot the town afford a 
night watch to overtake these midnight revellers?

  Major F.S. Garner has placed us under obligations for a copy of the old Lake 
Providence Herald, dated June 17, 1859, almost twenty years ago, and one year 
before we came to this parish.  We see in it a long report from. A.W. Green, 
Treasurer of the Levee Board.  All the others who were officers then have left 
the parish since.  Many are dead.

  We hear men declare if the Returning Board is not abolished they will not 
vote.  That is the way Packard would like to hear them talk.  Our only weapon 
is the bllot.  If we don't use that, then we must quit grumbling.  Such 
conduct as that of '72 and '74 cannot again occur.  

  Times are tight in New Orleans.  Instead of pushing forward the railroad to 
Texas,  They give a half millon for the Mardi Gras Celebration.

   Adverting-- Tuesday 29th, 1876
