The weekly messenger. [volume] (St. Martinsville [i.e. St. Martinville] La.) 1886-1948, 1907-04-06

We have this week printed pos
ters announcing fine races to take
place on the Arnaudville Race
Track on Sunday the 14th inst.
We believe if an excursion could
be run from st. Martinville that a
large number of our people would
be glad to 60 and spend the day
with their friends at the end of
this branch. Arnaudville is a pro-
gressive little town aud our people
have seldom had all occasion to 60
up there to spend the day and re-
turn home the same day.
We have this week heard ru-
nors of many new candidates iD
this parish laying their plans for
the next campaign which will soon
open. The new candidates will
be real surprises to the old politi-
clans and will perhaps seriously
interfere with the plans of the
candidates already known. The
next campaign, if the rumors
prove correct will be a very inter-
esting, as the people arc breaking
loose from the grip of the bosses
and are doing some of their own
thinking, and becoming indepen-
dent voters, and the coming out OF
candidates from the ranks of the
people instead of being creations
of the bosses, will have the effect ol
increasing the cause of the people
aud further destroy the influence
of the politicians.

The Euchre and Concert given
at Duchamp's hall last Sunday by
the st. Martinville Brass Band
and Evangeline Literary Society
was not the success it should have
been. 1t was not properly adver-
tised and there was not much en-
thusiam displayed by the manage
ment. The concert programme
was good, but it was very short,
exceedingly short. A little ball
followed the concert, but it was OF
short duration. The success of
such enterprises can only be ac-
complished by the management
creating enthusiasm among them
selves and the public.
Bitten by a Spider.
Through blood poisoning caused
by a spider bite, John Washing
ton OF Bosqueville, Texas, would
have lost bis leg, which became a
mass of running sores, had he not
been persuaded to try Bucklen's
Aruica Salve. He writes: "The
first application relieved, and four
boxes healed all the sores." Heals
every sore. 25c at T. j. Labbe's

The sudden change in the wea-
ther last Saturday and Sunday,
when a cold, sharp north wind
struck this section made things en-
tirely uncomfortable. The cold
wind will perhaps produce bad
effect on the cotton which is just
out of the ground. but it is not be-
lieved that other crops will suffer
more than perhaps littlh check
in the rapid growth. The crops
in general at this early season are
remarkably fine, and unless some
thing unforeseen happen. they pro-
mise rich results.

Mrs. Wilson's husband was often
obliged to go to New York on busi-
ness. and frequently did not reach his
home until the arrival of the midnight
train. Mrs. Wilson had been in the
habit Of sleeping peacefully at these
times without fear. but number of
burglaries in the neighborhood during
one Of her husbands trips to New
York had disturbed her calm.
On the night Of his return Mr.. VIII

front stairs. as was his wont on such
occasions. SO that his wife would not

FIREMEN'S BALL
A BIG SUCCESS
OVER 300 DANCERS WHIRL TO
ENLIVENING TUNES AT
PAVILION.

Last night the local fire ladies
were the lions Of the feminine hearts.
The occasion was the first annual ball
OF the Volunteer Fire Department.
The affair was held at the Eagles
Pavilion, which was most prettily
decorated. From a point in the CEN
ter of the building wide steamers
OF red. white and blue were stretched
out in the name of spokes in a
wheel. Where the streamers ended
colored bells were suspended on the
eolored cords. Along the sidewalks
in each panel were red. white and
blue bunting draped in the nature of
an open fan. At the end of the hall
nearest the stage was a triangular
shield upon which was inscribed We
Destroy to Save" the motto of the
department. The ladies proved that
they were as brave in the face of the
large bevy of Tonopah beauties as in
attacking the frey elements. and
conquered the former with as much
alaerfty as the latter. The red shirts
OF the local boys made a pretty con-
trast. set of by the navy blue uni
forms Of the fire eaters from Cold
field. The music was most entranc-
ing and as far as we could learn
when going to press the dancers
were still whirling in a delirium OF
bliss.
Preceding the bali a dinner was
rendered the visiting firemen from
Goldheld, who numbered fourteen
repast was served at the MIz-
pah and was a very jolly affair. An
incident occurred just as the visitors
We're ready to sit down, which for
a time looked as though ii would
the otherwise perfect arrange
ments. A representative OF the 10
cal cooks and walters union made
his way into the restaurant and en-
deavored to announce that the hotel
was unfair. Headwaiter Hamilton
showed him the way to the sidewalk
a manner more forcible than DO
lite and the incident was soon for
gotten.
After a sumptuous meal the fire
men formed in front of the Mizpab
and, headed by a band, marched to
the Pavilion, where the festivities
quickly began. The ball was a sue
in every detail and the various
committees having the affair in hand
deserve unstinted praise. About 800
400 dancers were present. The
decoration committee, composed of
