LaGrange Tournament (1866)
On the 30th and 31st of this month a grand tournament is to be held at LaGrange. The proceeds will be donated to charitable purposes. We understand that it is to be an improvement on all others heretofore held, and hope it may, but can scarcely believe that it will excel what transpired here on the 12th and 13th. We also hear gentlemen from this county will enter their names as Knights. Let the good work go on until the tournament is adopted as a national play.
