The need of fire alarm system
Of some kind is fearfully needed
in the City.
When an alarm is sounded nine
times out of ten, no one seems to
know where the fire is, the firemen
rush for their hose garages drag
them into the street, and then
stop, uncertain which way to go
Valuable time is lost, which could
be saved if there was any kind Of
a system all.
In Franklin the town is divided
into wards, each wards having a
number, when a fire breaks out

pulls it corresponding number OF
times, thus the firemen and the
public az once know just where to
go. By this simple method which
costs absolutely nothing Franklin
saves her citizens many dollars
which New Iberia, no matter how
prompt our firemen might be un.
der the existing conditions, would
loose.
| It we cant put in a regular cleo
tic alarm system, let us by all
means try the plan in use in Frank

On Sunday, Oct. 6, New Iberia
will have another gala day such as
she had on August Is, and if any
thing, larger and better. The
Southern Pacific Railroad officials
and the racing committee of the
Iberia Park Association reached an
agreement whereby the railroad
will run special excursion trains
from New Orleans here, and from
Lake Charles here, including all
the branch lines.
The New Orleans end will be
gotten up in two sections, one
from New Orleans, which will do
the work up to and including
Schriever, La, and from there
through, without stopping, to New
Iberia, while the other section will
do the work from Schriever here.
The advantage Of having the
two sections will be the arriving
of the excursiOnists here before Il
o'clock, thereby giving them plenty
Of time to see the town and max
ing their stay here much more
pheasant.
Another feature Of the day viii
be a band contest for a purse of
l fered by the Park Association. il
1Nhich some ten bands will partici
pate. The band contest is under
the management Of Samson Chau
vim, who has not yet quite per
fected all the necessary arrange
