Bear in mind sport men that interesting races will take place on the race track in this town tomorrow. Besides the races advertised, several others will take place. The war between the cotton buyers keeps the price at $30 per thousand pounds which is a fair price. Keep on the war and let the planter reap the profit. Volunteer Fire Co. No. 1 have recei ved new hats uand new uniforms, whivb are indeed very pretty, we would like to see our boys nmake a parade, they will all look "*bran new" and makea good show. Sonie of the fire boys are stuck for a steam engine. but they seem to meet somie opposition. We say if the boys want a steamer let them have it, and the people will back them. Go ahead boys and get the steam engine. The game of base ball played at Breaux Bridge last Sunday resulted in the vic tory of the St. Martinsville boys who came out with 18 rounds against those of Breaux Bridge with 8 rounds.

The Attakapas l'harmaceutical Asso cl:tion meets here on Tuesday the 8th. instant. A reception will be tendered at _)uehamp's hall after the Association will colmplete its labors. Dancing will be in order ;.nd a grand time Is antici pated. At last tile crop of tall grasses on the chur-_h lot are being harvested, but we fear enough will be left standing to fur nlsh the seed fo'r another good crop next year. The best tbi.ig would be to pull themi off. If the Railroad olcials would only consult the citizens of St. Martiuville they w'-uld have to get a train at every hour of the day to please them, and then we do not know if this would do. How ever, the present schedule is very incon venient and we do not bl:rame thecm for growling a little, but it will result in no good. The cotton planter is having a very fa vorable wrathlrr to pick up his crop. We begin to understand the crop will be shorter thans was at first expected. The loss by the worm was estimated at 33 per cent, but we believe it will be nearer u0 per cent. We see no reason why some of our peo ple send to New Iberia and elsewhere for lumber when the saw mill is working here and can give as good lumber and as at low a price as they can get it at any other place. Always give a preference to home industries if you want your loea lity to prosper. Some of the herbs in Iall's Hair Re newer, that wonderful preparation for resto ling the color and thickening the growth of the hair, grow plentifully in New England. Mr. Pierre Damare after spending four umonths in France visiting the great ex position, returned home Tuesday, ae companied by his niece, Miss Alexan drine Daban, a sister of Mrs. Geo. W. Adams. They arrived here safely, but tnet with an accident on the Souther n Pacitfic Railroad which came very near to result seriously, but fortunately they extricated thienmselves fromn the wreck of the over turned car unhurt. On Tuesday the 1st inst., the Railroad Company changed their schedule l hich greatly inconvenience the people. The train leaves in the morninog at 9:40. In the evening it leaves at 4:45 and returns at 6:15. The mail closes half an hour before the departure of trains. Mr. T. E. Wiley, 146 Chambers st, New York City, says that Ayer's Sarsaparilla cured him of a dry and scaly humor, from which he had suffered intolerably, He adds: "I have not now a bl'mish on my body, and my cure is wholly due to Ay er's S aparilrla." Have your watch repairing done at ekart. Sew Iberia. The grand jury In section A. crinminal I court; New Orleans, returned nine in dictments in blank for embezzling pub lic moneys. The indictment are presu mably against ex-Treasuser Burke. District Attorney Lnzemburg has sent an officer to Baton Rouge to obt;min a requi sition, from Gov. Nicholls directed to the executive of New York, for the arrest of the ex-Treasurer who is said to have left Liverpool Wednesiay, aboard the Steam ship Teutonie. I)istrict Attorney Louis J. Voorhies re turned from New Orleans Tuesday, still suffering. After consulting his physi cian he was advised to go and spend about two mIolnths on the Gulf coast, and there to follow his treatment. To ab sent himself for such a length of time, - it was necessary to obtain a leave of ab sence of 60 days which was granted him, by the Governor. lie will leave for the Gulf shore pthis week. It is to be hoped he will regain there his former health. A large crowd of St. Martinsville peo ple attended the base ball game played at Breaux Bridge Suunlay last between the club of that town and the Red Stockings of this place. 'I hey also attended a grand and nmaguificent cntertaimnent given by the Dranmatic club of that town. They were well pleased with their trip. and had a day spent in abundant plea stres. Some of the young boys employed at the oil nuill undertook to bulldoze and regulate the bosses, but got bounced. This thing is getting to be old and won't take any manre. Everything has its time and bulldozing and regulating is getting to be a thing of :he past. and will soon sleep a sleep of death to the great cha grin andl tribulation of the aspiring bos ses. Bult alas! such is life. 53'" FROWv'$S IRO1 BITTERS C'tirer. Inm, i ittn. I:iliou.tne. Iwape;lia. '.la. ri(a. Ntrv.iu.e.-, and ;en r-ral lkb!lity. PhyIsi eiau' rcloiimelltne it.

Soale of our boys while on a "'frolic" last Saturday, to amLause themselves took a negro to the photographer who is camnped under a tent on the church lot, placed a rope around his neck, made himnt pull his tongne out as much as he could, passed the rope around a cross beam of the tent and while pulling on the rope with the negro appareutly dangling at the end, had their picture taken. It was indeed a coatical and amulising scene. This was done for fun. time negro willing ly submiitting to it. We understood that this picture was to be sent to Mr. Stans bary. staff correspondent of the Timea Iºem.ocrat, to be kept as a souvenir of the Regulators. Monday night, about half past three o'clock ill the morning an unknown per son passed by the residence of MIr. Al bert Baker where several woman were w;atching over his dying naother-in-law, and when just at the window of the death roomln, fired his levolver, in the air we presume, but it created an alarmimg panic amiit'ng the women who fled in all direction. Mr.Baker and his brother-in law. who were asleep at the time were awaken. but the malieions person had disappeared. The unfortunate womian, Mrs. Cileie Latsale, who at that time was in the throes of death, died half an bour later. This is a most coward act and the author of such rufmanison should be looked after and if detected should ib made to suffer a plunishment equilal to Ihi" rascnlitv. Som-e time ago a negro postmasiter was appointed at Luverne Ala., but the white people of that town did not want the negro postmaster, and after consll derable trouble he secured,bis bond and qualified, but the next thing was to lind a a building in which to open his oltice. al Gomnez finally secured a building and an- d nounced be would open his ottliee the tl following Monday, but the same night 11 the incendiary torch was applied to the b building which went up in flames. At this tille Gomez was about to resign. but fi as a punishment to the people of Luverne the l'ostmaster General has ordered the office closed, and the residents of that town have now to send three miles for their mail. We read with great pleasuere the fol lowing paragraph in last Sunday's Pie ayune, which willl be read with as much ii interest by the people of St. Martinsville: 'Mr. Armuind Veazey, :hte cornetist of a the West End Orchestra, will on next Sunday evening. at the Academy of Music, be presented with a Imagnificetnt gold cornet, set with diamonds. Mr. Veazey is a young Loulsialan an and a clever cornetist. lie met with success in New York and San Francisco durang I several seasons and has been engaged i for the winter .t the Academy. iJjor i Charles hIoyt will mlake the presentsa-j tion speech. The cornet will be dis played at Werlein's on Canal street." Armnand is a native of St. Marltinsville and basa host of friends here who will be pleased to learn of his success in the musical world. An accident occurred on the Southern P'acille Railroad Tuesday evening be tween New Orleans and Morgan City. The west bound train had taken a siding to allow the east bound train to pass and a wheln it started to leave the siding to take the main track, the last car of the p train, a Pullman Sleeper, c.anie over a a broken rail upon which the fore part of the train had safely passed. which gave way, the ear jumped the track, gave somie terrible shocks to the train and fell upside down from an embankment of about 12 feet, smashing the car to pie ces, seriously wounding and bruisimng se vendl of the passengers, but none were killed. The wrecked car took fire, but the prompt and effective assistance pasemigers rescued the passengers a of the officers or the train andl who were imprisoned in the wreck and put out the fire before it made :uny head- P way. In that car were from this place, I Mr. Pierre Itamnare and his niece, Miss Alexandrine Dabmin. Geo. WIV. Adams and Sheriff Gab, Gardemal. They all canme out of the wreck unhurt. District At- 0 torney Louis J. Voorhies. was on the train also, but was in the next car and a only felt tihe heavy shocks. e Swept by the Tide of Popularity a To the topmost pinnacle of success Hostetter's Stomach Bitters stands a shining proof of what genuine merit, ° backed by the living force of proven facts a can attain. The North and South Amer ican continents, Europe, Australia, the West Inutdies, Guatemala and Mexico have all contributed wide patronage and testi molly of the most favorable kind-but unsolicited-to swell the reputotion of t this sterling remedy. Among the mala- e dies for which the most convincing pu blic and professiolal testimony proves that it is a benign curative, are chills and fever, bilious remittent, dumb agule c and ague cake, dyspepsia, liver complaint, I nervousness, debility, kidney and blad dler complaints. It mitigates the infirmi- I ties of age, hastens convalescence, has a a tendency to prevent all consequences from exposure and exhaustion. Persons of sedentary habits and laborious occu pations all findl it an ever useful tonic. Numberless schenmes have been devised for time purpose of advertising. Millions s of dollars have been spent in trying to u force the public to read adlvertisements I against their will. These dodges are I sprung upon them when they least ex- ( pect them, aid the effect is therefore an- t noying. It is as if a tramp should ring your front door bell and ask for thIe loan of a quarter. Advertising in a reliable newspaper is InditfferentL People expect to see it there every dlay, Advertisers, in dealing with the publle, should remem- I ber that they are askling favore; they shoule do so in a courteous, business-like I manner.

At half past five o'clock Wednesday evening, at the Catholie Church. by Rev. Father Langlois. Mr. John B. de Laloire, a prominent young planter of this parish and Miss Marie L. Labbe. the charming daughter of Mr. Arthur Labbe, also of this parish, were united in wedlock in the. presence of a legion of friends of both families. The Messenger joins their numerous frielns in extending to them our best wish s for a prosperous and happy fu ture. He Showed His Good Sense. Our traveling men as a rule are men of lively disposition. They make a good impression tn the public by their engag ing manners, but when the true gentle man with kind and sympathetic impulses and that feeling of tenderness, known only to men of the highest order is to be shown, the "drummer" is not behind his fellows. Capt. C. F. Hoke. one of the most widely known traveling men in the South, writes: I got from you a bottle of D)r. Westrnoreland's Calisaya Tonic for my little daughter, who had been prostrated with fever and was very week anti had no appetite. She had not used more than half the bottle before she had an excellent appetite antd regained her strength with astonishing rapidity. I believe it to be an excellent Tonic." This ga/at Tonic is solt by all Druggist. The New States.

I also had neuralgia ina the head. First class physicians did me no good. Then I tried B. B. B., and its effects were magical. I cheerfully re commend it as a good tonic and quick nre." Mrs. Mathilda Nichols, Knoxville Tentn. writes: I had catarrh six years and a most distressingeough antd my eyes were much swollen. Five bottles of B. B. B. thank (God:! cured me." John M.
