know that the very best medicine
for restoring the tired out nervous
system to a healthy vigor is Electric

vegetable, acts By giving tone to
the nerve centers in the stomach,
gently stimulates the liver and kid
throwing off impurities in the blood.
Electric Bitters improves the appe-
tite, aids digestion, and is pro-
nounced by those who, have tried it
as the very best blood purifier and
nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for soc

AN IDEAL STORE
David Lcvy's Handsome Structure
One of the Finest in the
Country.

If you visit Rayne the first thing
that Will meet your eye is magni-
cent structure on the eve of being
completed. When finished and
filled with goods it will be one of
the handsomest and largest stores
in Southwest Louisiana. Upon in
curing of any resident of the thriv-
ing little town you will be informed
that it is ssDave Levy's new store"
The readers of The Gazette have
all heard of and known Dave Levy,
the hustling and enterprising mer-
chant, who opened the "Acadia
Cash Emporium" in Rayne in the
beginning of the year 1887 and who
has gained much an enviable repu-
tation in the commercial world.
Like all intelligent business men
Mr.. Levy is an extensive adj
vertise1 having spent small fortune
with the papers of Acadia and
neighboring parishes, and to the
power of printers ink he attributes
his success.
Although the building occupied
presently by Mr.. Levy is one of the
largest in the town of Rayne its
capacity is inadequate to the volume
of business transacted and about
three months ago MI. Levy con-
trated with Messrs. A. G. Lewis &
Bro, for the construction of
building that would offer ample &C
commodation. The dim ensions of
the new structure are 3Sx1oo
feet. The front store-room is IA
feet high, 38 feet wide and 81 feet
in length. While in the rear there
is ware-rocm 16x3S. In the
center Of the main apartment is a
very neatly constructed elevated
Office with a stairway at each end.
The counters are unusually large,
two of them being each "a feet in
length and two measuring 80 feet.
An idea can be had of the nagni
tude of the main room when it is
known that the shelving consists of
1872 feet. In the grocery depart
ment there are II wooden binns and
8 metallic selfclosing binns.
The second story will be used
principally to keep stock. A cell
ing IL feet high and twenty win
dows make it very pleasant and
airy place.
Mr.. Levy will move into these
commodious quarters during the
latter part of April.
Mr.. Levy is aided BY corps of
gentlemanly and competent clerks.
Mr.. A. c. Poulet is book-keeper and
Mr.. William Martin assistant; the
statesmen are: Bennie Christmaa,
Max Sommers, Gustave Besse, Ed
Wimberly and Morvin Cunningh am :,

The Teachers Parish Institute

The secretary-elect being absent
when the meeting opened, Miss
Greig was requested to hold the po-
sition until her arrival
The discussion of the subject as
signed for this meeting was opened
with the reading of paper by Prof.
Philip Martin. Some of the impor-
tant ideas brought forward in this
paper were: Patriotism and good
citizenship are the chief ends to be
attained by the teaching of history;
local and State history should be
supplemented with information by
the teacher. Many valuable sug
gestions were added by other
teachers. Among others were:
use of the newspaper in the school,
room; the use of diagrams and pic
lures; :he importance of combining
geography with history. The dis
by Prof. Trudeau. "History," said
he, sis so vast, SO unlimited a sub
ject, having its beginning with the
birth of time, each year increasing
its proportion by manifold ratio,
that the problem of crowding it, in
its entirety, into the child's mind in
SO limited period, has never yet
been solved and doubtless never
will be. All that we can possibly
do is to pick out, here and there,
those events and personages that,
by their prominence and striking
characteristics, rise high above the
common pace, anu 10 use tNcu1 as
central figures around which to
group a nations history; to arouse
and interest in these and cultivate
spirit Of investigation which will
continue long after the child has
left school,"
The p.ogram FOR next meeting is
as follows:
I. Discussion of leading articles
on educational topics puLlished
during month.
2. How to teach English-gram-
mar, composition, spelling, etc.
3. How can music be taught in

Correspondent.

Mr.. and Mrs. James Price and
children have moved among us to
stay. The people of Scott well
come all good citizens. We hope
Mr.. and Mrs. Price will be pleased
with our little town.
Mrs. John Stark, accompanied by
Henry Bourdler, were visitors in
Scott last Sunday.
Mr.. J. Guidry made a business
trip TO New Orleans purchasing a
large stock of goods.
Price were in Lafayette during the
week.
Several drummers were on our
streets during the week doing
business.
While the storm last Sunday
night was furious. Scott escaped the
dangerous part. Only DR.. Guidry's
gig and one or two egg cases were
strewn across the streets. The far
mers can we'll do without rain or
wind at the present moment. 1t
seems as if the advance agent of
prosperity has failed in his predic-
tons, and the opening of the G. O.
p. for 81 is anything but prosper
Gus.
Scott was deserted on Friday
last. Every one going to Lafa-
yette to try and get sight of the
two murderers that swung into
eternity for one of the most
atrocious crimes of the century.
Mr.. P. A. Delhomme is having
erected large kitchen and dining
room near his large residence and
opera-house.
The man with the funny little
box and funny little numbers was
in town last Tuesday and some of
our people dropped a few dimes
getting no value in return.
Messrs. J. and P. have placed
themselves down to genuine hard
work and the cabbage, SO Jim says,
are growing at the rate of two
inches per night. Folk will not
want for vegetables this present
season.
In the game of foot ball the other
day, the list of cripples is not ex-
tensive, but nevertheless large
enough. Sid all slowed up; Orion
two scratches on the left shin; Pre-
jean, eye black and slight scratch
over eye and thumb sprained;
young man from the country, arm
slightly sprained. BY the use of
antiseptic they are all O. K. and
looking fresh. From the above it
can plainly be observed that Scott
is lively, and pastimes are getting
numerous. Every boy and man is
cultivating a set of large muscles.
All the cisterns in Scott were
filed by the last two hard rains,
with the exception of that of our
friend Doucet. It was inco1npre-
hensible to him that he had not a
drop of water in his tank. Our
friend J. solved the problem by in
vestigating and finding no gutter
running from the house to the
cistern.
Several residences will go up in a
few days. That is what we need.
