THE GAZETTE.
.Ssbsrvtption Price, ST. Per Yea,
TOWN AND COUNTRY.

in Lafayette for few days this week.
We understand that Julian Mo-.
ton will be candidate for represt,Is-
tative subject to nomination by tire
Democratic party.
Mr.. and Mrs. Adrien SALES vent
over to New iberia Monday TO pass
a few days in that city visiting rela-
tives and friends.
The Gazette was favored with a
call the first of the week by Messrs.
]. O. Blanchet and R. Domengeau,
of Royville.
Another batch of about 100 of
the unemployed westerners drifting
southwark, passed through Lafa-
yette Tuesday.
Miss Emeranthe Domengeaux,
a charming young lady from Breaux
Bridge, was on a visit to her many
friends in Lafayette this week.
Our merchants are all claiming to
be doing good business. 1t is no.
ticeable that many people are circu-
lating in town every day, and that
means trade.
We saw prettily decorated show
window in our rambles this week,
and as it was seemingly done to at
tract the attention ofsthe passer-by
we'll let the general public do like
we did-discover the place.
Our friend Fred Mouton, having
finished and delivered over to it's
owner, the pretty cottage erected by
him in St. Martinsville, returned
home this week, and we are sorry te
note, slightly under the weather.
Mrs. A. V. Fleming, wife of ST.
Martinsville's Mayor, and her son
Paul, arrived in Lafayette by We'd
nesday evnning's train, and spent a
few days in the city the guests of
Mrs. Homer Bailey.
Sheriff Broussard arrested Solo
mon Johnson, a desperate and
dangerous negro, at Bayou Sale
and brought him here Wednesday,.
Johnson is wanted for stab
bling and almost killing one Gilleen
short time ago.
If the condition of the town treas
ury will warrant it, The Gazette
thinks u plank walk on either side of
the street fronting Mr.. Vigneaux's
livery stable, and extending along
the street, in which Mr.. Constant
tins stable is located, would not
only prove a great convenience, but
would improve the general view con-
siderably.
The course of Governor Foster,
as chief executive Of the State, up
to date, is without a flaw. Should
he continue to administer the at
fairs of the State in the way he has
started, he will continue to grow in
public esteem, although it would be
diff cult for him to gain more fully
the confidence of the people.
Bycicling on the sidewalks is a
COMPOUNDED nuisance, and should
be abated by the town council. In
New Iberia they are relegated to the
streets, and that's just their prope,
place. 1t is decidedly inconvenien,
to say the least, for a lady or 70,
| that matter any one else, to be an.
noyed in giving right of way SO
| that Mr.. Bycicler can be accom-.
| modated. Let the council act.
At cost of $1,000, DR.. H. p.
Guilbeau & Son, of Breaux Bridge,
have just acquired the magnifcen,
standard bred and pedigreed stall
lion Hal Clay. Last Thursday
this animal was in Crouchet's stable
and was looked at by many
lovers of fine horse flesh. Hal Cha,
will be put into service on the stock
farm of these gentlemen.
Rev Father LaForest and Prof
F. G. Latiolais, of Carencro, gave
The Gazette call last Tuesday
We understand they were in tn,
city to see about the arrangement
incidental to the theatrical repre-
sentatiOn that will he given =
