Another Accident. — Philip
Boudreaux, son ot Louis H. Bou
dreaux, was limiting in the rear of
Tetrean's Park on Thursday last.
Having fired one ot the barrels of
his gun, lie afterwards placed b'
ram rod in the other barrel_ to as
certain which was empty. The eon
cession caused the gun to go off,
the load passing through his head
and instantly killing him.
The deceased was a piomistu
boy of about 10 years ot age.
The dinner given by the Knights
Ot Honor on Thursday evening, was
gotten in Frost 4 s best style, and
was greatly enjoyed by those who
participated in its removal from the
tables to that undiscovered country
and so on.
The Ball at night, in Firemen's
Hall, was, notwithstanding the un
favorable weather, largely attended
•and proved to be one ot the most
.pleasant foeiil gatherings ot the
.season. Not until daylight at rived
did the gay dancers abandon the
sceue, and then viili regrets that
the night was not longer.

SENSE AND NONSENSE.
BY DOT.
Several enterprising citizens of
Lockport, with that benevolence
and energy characteristic of men
who arc alive to the wants of the
community in which they reside,
have taken initiative steps to or
ganize a fire company in that town.
These gentlemen propose giving a
grand ball, in the public school
house, at Lockport, to night, for
the purpose of raisiug funds to as
sist them in getting up the compa
uy. We hope that their ball will
be well atteuded aud that their ef
forts in this meritorious uudertak
ing will be crowned with success.
Mr. Leo L. Molaison, the kind
and popular barkeeper of the Gem
Saloon, like all newly married men
are when they become fathers for
the first time, is the happiest man
in town. He is filled with euthusi
asm over the birth of a big boy.
The babe was born on Wednesday^
June 22nd., and he is said to be of
charming beauty. We congratu
late our irieud Leo on the birth ot
this his first child aud we hope that
the boy will, as he grows to man
hood, coutiuuu to be the joy of his
parents.
The excursionists who visited
this town last Suuday, spent the
evening hours in a most agreeable
manner. Aside from the pleasure
ot dancing, which was enjoyed by
all who indulged in it, the German
Philharmonic Society entertained
the audience with delightful siug
ing which was a treat to everybody
present. This excursion party was
a very pleasant one. Excursion
ists who shall come to this town and
behave as gentlemanly as those
did, can be certain that they will
always meet with a cordial lecep
tion. Come again guiitlemeu.
An occurrence which has come
under our observation, and which
we consider very unjust, is the fact
that Italian hawkers go about the
streets ou Sundays and, with iwpu
nity, retail fruit. We canuot un
derstaud how it is that these ambn
laut hucksters are allowed this priv
ilege, wbeu the Suuday law con
deuins it aud compels our resident
merchants to close their fruit stands
on that day. We believe it would
be pertinent that our law iuterpre
ters should iuquire into this matter
and see that the law is properly ex
ecuted so that it may operate alike
for everybody.
While perusing the columns of
last Sunday's edition of the Times
Democrat we saw au advertisement^
in the column of "wants," signed
by Mr. J. O. Landry of this town,
in which it is stated that Mr, Laudry
wishes to buy "a complete outfit
for a country newspaper, cheap
aud coudition good." We take
pleasure in informing Mr. Laudry—
aud this we are authorized to do—
that he can purchase sack an out
fit by applying at the office of the
Thibodaux Sentinel. Terms:
strictly cash.
Evils.

The Harry Webber combination
uuder charge of Johnston & Young
gave two performances last week
in FiiemeiCs Hall.
The first night, June 23 "Saccos"
was given to a good boose, followed
by the farce, "To Oblige Benson.''
The pieces were well performed,
aud elicited the admiration ot the
audience.
"Nip & Tuck" was given on the
following night, to a fair audience.
Arrangements have beeu made
by tbe Hall Committee to have good
plays pat upon tbe stage from one
to four times per month.
The people will no donbt appre
ciate such action and be pleased to
have a good theatrical performance
occasionally which they can attend.
A VARIETY.
The Wright and the Curtis base
ball clubs went to the Park last Sun
day with the intention of having a
game, but at the second or third
inning rain intervened and they
had to discontinue playing. The
Curtis club was ahead at the time
of stopping.
The same clubs contemplate
coming together to-morrow to
finish the'game but we think that
it will be impossible, for the rain
has been almost incessant during
the week, makiug the ground too
slippery and dangerous.
The Willnot who was sufferin
with Epizootic and took S pints of
coal oil has died. He will be buried
between now and Christmas, it suf
ficieut funds cun bo raised.
In our opinion, it would have
been hazardous for a barrel of sauer
kraut to have rolled around to the
Firemen's Hall last Sunday.
One of the Willnots iuvolnntari
ly went to carrying shingles this
week, but before he put iu a half
day he "Mugwumped" and asser
ted that he would remain a Willnot
rather than continue that fatiguing
sport. We are told that he could
have stood it a little longer but fern
iuine gazes were more than he
could stand, and he wilted.
The Firemen's Hall floor was on
a "mash'' Thursday night; it made
several impressions.
When you happen to catch two
dudes removing grapes of someone
else'a vine, they do not know what
to say and thrust their hands iuto
their pockets for relief.
We have it from a reliable source
that one of the principal things
that the Willnots did at their last
meeting was to appoint a commit
tee of 9 to wait upon the Confec
tioner and try to persuade him to
make his pies larger. They say
that the present size affords but one
bite. To fit their cavities it looks
tr>i us like the pies should be 6xG—
alligator size.
We hear that there is a ''one
horse'' thief iu town, who has enter
ed two houses during the week.
The rogue is suspected and if he does
not look sharp he will be pift away
to dry. It said that be is only af
ter mouey and jewelry (just what
everybody wants). He should be
let take two pounds and a half of
spurious jewelry under the disguise
of powder and lead.
Iu reading some statistics the
other day we seeu that it takes
fifty pounds of green apples to make
seven pounds of dried ones. Can
any one tell us how many green
pies it takes to till a dry Willnot t
We caunot comprehend why the
young ladies and gentlemeu who
attended the Knights of Honor
Ball bore the Firemen's Hall floor
so much dislike ; it is black aud
blue; every now and then some
adolescent being could be heard
striking it on the first bounce.
The ball given by Harmony Lodge
No. 3242, ou last Thursday night,iu
couiuiemoiatioii of the 14th auniver
sary of the entire Order, terminated
most gratifyingly. Every one who
attended speaK of it in superlative
terms, and all express themselves
as having had enjoyment beyond
measure. The various committees,
who had the ball under their super
visiou, merit and we are positive
they are heartily tendered the
thanks ot all, for the surpassing
kelter exliibite 1 throughout the
whole affair. The pleasures of the
oecasiou will undoubtedly be inseri

participant.

The First Sign
Of failing health, whether in the form of
Night Sweats and Nervousness, or in a
sense of General Weariness and Loss of
Appetite, should suggest the use of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla. This preparation is most
effective for giving tone and strength
to the enfeebled system, promoting the
digestion and assimilation of food, restor
ing the nervous forces to their normal
condition, and for purifying, enriching,
and vitalizing the blood.
Failing Health.
Ten years ago my health began to fail.
I waa troubled with a distressing Cough,
Night Sweats, Weakness, and Nervous
ness. I tried various remedies prescribed
by different physicians, but became so
weak that I could not go up stair# with
out stopping to rest. My friends recom
mended me to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla,
which I did, and I am liow as healthy and
strong as ever. — Mrs. E. L. Williams,
Alexandria, Minn.
I have used Ayer's Sarsaparilla, in my
family, for Scrofula, and know, if it is
taken faithfully, that it will thoroughly
eradicate this te'rrible disense. I have also
prescribed it as a tonic, as well as an alter
ative, and must say that I honestly believe
It to be the best blood medicine ever
compounded. — W. F. Fowler, D. D. S.,
M. D., Greenville, Tcun.
Dyspepsia Cured.
It would be impossible for me to de
scribe what I suffered from Indigestion
and Headache up to the time I began
taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I was under
the care of various physicians and tried
a great many kinds of medicines, but
never obtained more than temporary re
lief. After taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla for
a short time, my headache disappeared,
and my stomach performed its duties more
perfectly. To-day my health is com
pletely restored.—Mary Harley, Spring
field, Mass.
I have been greatly benefited by the
prompt use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It
tones and invigorates the system, regulates
tbe action of the digestive and assimilative
orpins, and vitalizes the blood. It is,
without doubt, tbe most reliable blood
purifier yet discovered. — H. I). Johnson,
