The Progress bicycle contest colors the town
Madam rumor floats through the community as The Progress promotes a bicycle contest open to all parish residents. Citizens discuss delegates to the constitutional convention, local politics, and yellow fever fears while voters use coupons as votes for their favorite beauty or rider. The paper urges participation, visits to 205 Milam Street, and equal treatment of all contestants as fever concerns ease.
