Business.

Business is improving. In fact
business has improved very much
durinp the past 80 or 40 days. No
one can look at our streets, where
there is stir and bustle;vhcre bund-
les and packages are i'll almost
everyone's hands; where cotton
and rice wagons are daily coming
in. without realizing this.
Wishing to ascertain the facts,
we gathered the opinions of many
of our business men and print
them elsewhere. Business i'm,
movement is the almost unanl,
nous sentiment, and nearly all be.
lieye that New Iberia will have the
busiest season she ever saw, du'
ring this autumn and winter.
The probable reasons for 'hS
are good crops and good prices.
Floods and storms have destroyed
cotton and some rice elsewhere,
and these products are big factors.
Fortunately nearly all crops are
reasonably good with us.
Then add to this the wages to be
earned an spent here by the labor
engaged on the waterworks and
electric light plants and we believe
this will be a season of great bust.

Miss Todd In New York.

But few, perhaps, OF the read
ers of the IBERIAN are aware that
Miss Sallie Todd is now living II
Brooklyn, New York.
When in this place, Hiss Todd
was always among the first towork
for charitable purposes, CT fol
church benefits, and even in the
BIG city of New YOrk-Of which
Brooklyn is now a portion-thls
lady's good works are not to be
hidden under a bushel.
In mention ng the features of a
grand bazaar for the benefit of the
Galveston suffers, the New York
Journal of Sept. oath, said:
Miss SalIie Todd, of No. 347 Greene
avenue, Brooklyn, has another novel
and timely proposition. Although a
Louisiana woman, Miss Todd IS rel
alive of the family of Abraham LINCOLN
and she has all the kindness Of heart
that distinguished the martyred Pres
ident.

She volunteers to establish. with the
assistance OF her sister, Mrs. Seldom
Brooks Daniel, and her cousin, Miss
Ophelia Polk Brigham, louisiana
BOOTH She suggests that in this
booth she might serve gnmbo, rice,
pralines and black coffee in Louisiana
style, prepared by herself.
Ever alive to the interests of
their native state, Miss Todd, Miss
Daniel and Miss Brigham will.
snrve the dishes characteristic to
Southwest Louisiana, and no one
is more capable of properly pre-
pairing and serving them than
these very excellent housekeepers.
Fewepersons in the north and
west understand the art of treat
ing rice for the table, as it is done
in southwest Louisiana, and all
such advertising as Miss Todd is
doing is the best kind of missionary
work in that line, and will doubt
less rebound to the good of the
state. w.
