81 A YEAR,
WHY NOT?

Has it ever struck the people OF
our city, and especially those en-
gagged in business, how backward
we have been in the matter OF Sc
curing conventions OF various KINDS
in New Iberia? There can be no
possible doubt that gatherings OF
these kinds would bring money in
TO the town, and that the money
SO spent would be distributed
among variousmerchants dong
business here. Other towns in the
state. which are not nearly as
large as New Iberia, have been
successful in drawing crowds INTO
their midst, and certainly must
have found it paying investment
TO do so, otherwise the game would
not have been kept up. Now, let
a common business sense rule ana
let the merchants ask the question
if they are doing justice to them
selves by letting the various an
nual conventions go elsewhere!
What the people of our city need,
is more push and energy, without
which no community can possibly
prosper.
We hope that the newly organ
lied Board of Trade will look into
this matter with view to securing
the much to be desired end, and
that the business men themselves
will do their share towards obtain
ing some Of the many annhal
gatherings which are held else
where throughout the state.

A New Hotel.

A move Is on foot to form stock
company with a 100000 capital, to
erect a handsome new hotel in our
city. From information which has
come To our notice, We are inclined
to think that the present move
ment will meet will success. 1t is
proposed to erect u bricklstructure
with all the np-to-date improve
meilts Of a modern hotel. That a
hostelr,T would pay in our city there
can be no doubt, and so think d
large number of our business men,
who will lend their aid in a sub
stantial manner by taking stock.
The movement is yet in an embryo
state, therefore 1t il impossible fos
us to write at length upon the sub
ject, but we might add, that TO
any undertaking for public i'm.
prosement, the lgERiAN will lend
its hearty support.

OUR FOREIGN TRADE


To those who think that the
trade of our new possessions
amounts to little will be interested
in the statement recently made in
the official commercial publication
Of the French government, to the
effect that the imports Of Cuba.
Porto Rico, and the Hawiian,
philippine, and Samoan Islands
amount to over i 100000. 900 an
nualIy. The American exports to
these islands almost doubled last
year as compared with the year
proceeding, and half Of the articles
sold us were the products Of agri-
culture. The other half included
iron and steel, cotton goods, ehenli-
Gals, liquors, wood and oil. The

1t is not always safe to put too much
trust in dog. An Ellsworth man had
q highly priced dog, and when neigh
Dor presented a bill for two hens
which he claimed had been killed by
the brute the dog owner was grieved
and positively refused to believe the
charge or pay for the hens. A few days
later the Ellsworth man was driving
by the farm where the hens had been
killed. The dog was with him ii the
carriage. He drove into the farmers
yard to prove to him that his dog was
not guilty. Let out your hens he
said. ''and I'll call the dog out of t, e
carriage 70 prove that he win not kill
hens" 1t was done. Before the dog
could be stopped be had killed four.
The owner Of the dog. who never dis
honors just bill. pulled out his wallet
and settled for six hens. Bangor lMe.)

COURT OR NO COURT.
That is Now the Question
Being Considered.

The expressed sentiment is very
much dividedin Vinita as to hold
ing court here next week or not.
Two members out Of three OF the
board of health have expressed
themselves as of the opinion that
it would be unsafe 10 bring wit
nesses, jurors, litigants, ETC., here
next week. The Chieftain has
pointed out what it conceived to
be the danger, and is strongly Of
the opinion that court should be
postponed a short time at least
If our physicians are not terribly
mistaken there is smallpox IN
abundance in the country, and nc
sane man doubts that the physI-
clans know what they are talking
about. The cost OF an epidemic
of smallpox in Vinita can not no"
be estimated, but that il woulo
make the taxpayers shudder before
il was over needs no demonstra
ton. 1t is easier to prevent II
than 10 care for il. The part 0
wisdom would seem to be to keel

Judge has expressed himself a
willing to be governed by th'
