The EcgeE Face.

Quite a crowd Of people gathered on
the west side OF the bayou about 5
o'clock Friday evening to- witness the
bicycle race between Gilbert BONN and
George Summers. The course laid out
was from the corner of the public road
between W. Is. White and Boniface BIZ
gats, down the straight stretch, one
half mile to a point opposite Raymond
Placots. After some time lost in clear
ing the track the two riders, who were
in good trim got off and away they
went il hot haste, sometimes Summers
would lead, then BONN would squirt
ahead, and 5naIly came out at the end
a winner by about 20 feet.

New EcrE6 Fashion Letter.

Up to this time we have had a great
deal OF color ia u gowns and combi-
nations which heretofore were consid-
cred far too gay for street wear. Vio-
let aud red has perhaps been the most
odd combination, white blue and green
series and purple, black and gold, have
attracted their own share of notice.
Now that the weather has settled and
has become permanently warm, such
combinations as these are almost en-
tirely abandoned and dove gray and
yellow, slate gray and pale pink, blue
and white lavender and corn color hold
sway III the soft materials for extreme
ly warm weather.

be found in the late numbers of Nc

4. Narrow Escape.

Last Friday evening a number OF
ladies went out in buggies to witness
the bicycle race. Among these We're
Mrs. E. NJ. Stebbins, accompanied by
Mesdames L. Sokoloski and L. ]. Feray.
Mrs. Stebbins was driving a spirited
horse and coming down the slope OF
the ridge just west of Boniface Bigats
house, some of the harness became de-
tached and the animal ran away, and
as he crossed the bridge, SHE'D and ran
into the garden fence, throwing out the
occupants with great violence. Mrs.
Feray jumped after the collision oe-
Cured and escaped without any in-
jury. Mrs. Sokoloski was severely
bruised up and suffered a deep wound
of the scalp. Mrs stebbins was badly
bruised about the shoulders. Both
the ladies were confined to bed for sew
eral days as the result of their runaway
adventure, while the vehicle looked as
though it had been run through a KAN
sas cyclone.

The New Time.

The first number of The New Time,
the successor of New Occasions, is con-
sidered the best specimen of a reform
magazine yet published in this country
Its editors, B. o. Flower and Freder-
lex q. Adams, have supplied just what
thousands of people have been looking
for, viz: a high grade magazine devot-
ed to such proposed reforms as the mi
tiative and referendum, natural owner
ship of monopolles and kindred topics
of national interest. There is not a
dull paragraph in the eighty pages of
the July number of the New Time, and
the wonder is that such a magazine
can be produced for ten cents a month
or one dollar a year.
It contains articles from such brilliant
writer's and public men as Prof. Frank
Parsons, Henry d. Lloyd, Senator Pet
tigrew. In four months it has increas-
ed its circulation from 5000 to 90
900 and has established itself as the
acknowledged leader of radical reform
thought. Chas. Il. Kerr & Co, pub

The s.s,nraes. Normal.

The Summer Normal held in Baton
Rouge is about to close and we have
reasons to be prond Of this session.
On the 2lst Of June, instead of over
200 boys marching into the assembly
room at the University oyor a hundred
teachers fledin to attend the summer
normal. Such was the beginning and
our number have been Increasing every
day. The faculty is composed of som
of the professors from the State uni
versity aud also several teachers from
the State normal andtall under the
management of Prof. Caldwell, presi-
dent of the State Normal. That is
! only one Of the great advantages.
Here at the capital the State uniyer-
sity has kindly thrown open its doors
and given the grounds and all of the
buildings for the use Of the normal. No
where ia the State could we find such
a beautiful and attractive place, besides
being allowed access to the large Ii
brarY, class rooms and all the other OPP
portunities this great institution OF
learning affords. Then We have a per-
feet model school composed of the first
four grades, End under Miss Lawless,
of the State Normal. Here the teach
ers go and teach and are criticised
Miss Lawless shows them wherein their
teaching is deficient and tells them the
best way to remedy it.
In the summer normal is a regular
course where all the grammar grades
are taught. Any teacher coming witt
the determination to learn can make 6
wonderful advancement. once a Weef
in the pavilion there is a lecture ane
the lecturer takes up some interesting
and beneficial TOPICS. 1t is certainly /;
pity that more Of our teachers do no
grasp this opportunity and attent
these summer normals where SO mucl
good a be gained. SIGMA.

Last Friday was a day of accidents

Last Friday was a day of accidents
in Abbeville. In addition to the runa-
way described elsewhere, a little son ot
Olivier Leblanc about 6years old, while
at play in the yard Of Toto Elmer, fell
out of a china tree and struck upon the.
point of a fence picket, tearing the
flesh On the C alf Of the leg from the
knee to the ankle. The wound was at
tended by DR.. r. ]. Young and care
fully stitched up. At present writing
the boy is doing nicely.
Terence Nunez IN aged mulatto OF
Indian extraction died here Tuesday.
He enjoyed the unique distinction of
having sent his master to the peniten-
tiary for a crime committed by himself.
Before the wal a Jew peddler travelled
around the region with a cart carrying
his stock Of merchandise. Terence
one night stole the peddler's harness
and hid them in his masters loft. He
then let fall a few hints as to the
whereabouts of some harness. The Of
icers procured a search warrant, found
the harness, the master of the slave
was indicted for the theft, convicted,
sent to the penitentiary and died there,
Complaint comes from Shell Beach
that the roads along the Taylor & Ev,
ans plantation is completely out of
sight and it is taking a big risk to at
tempt to travel it. 1t is a strange
thing why people are allowed to de-
stroy a public road. Other people
ought to have some rights aud because
a man wants to raise rice it does not
surely give him the right to ruin roads
that other people have paid for and are
compelled to use. Last year this same
trouble existed and the bog at the Leon
ard place is fast becoming as danger
Gus as it was at that time. Water is
needed here but not 3 or 4 feet deep on
public roads.
