The weekly Iberian. (New Iberia, La.) 1894-1946, 1901-04-27

We had the pleasure of an out
ing on last Monday for few miles
in the country south of this place.
1t seems from the evidence, borne
by the drift, that the whole county
was overlooked last week. Drift
was noticed upon many OF the
higher places while the low lying
lands were either yet covered with
water or were very much water
soaked. In some localities serious
harm has been done to the growing
crops, while in others no injury IS
complained of. Bridge after bridge
had been foated away and wreck
ed. In number of Instances these
had not been restored. At Duboin
Post Office, the store in which the
office is located, is situated on the
highest ground. We are inform
ed that the water came up to tlR
top of the first step. This stage
of water completely submerged all
land thereabouts to a depth Of six
inches and more.

Hustlers.

We have heard many stori of
hustling in the last few days, but
the following. to our notion, takes
the palm: -Four young, energetic
hustlers started out from this
place for the purpose of getting
oil and mineral leases or options
They occupied four comfortable
cushioned seats in a. surry and
were prepareda to spend the day
much in the fashion of having a
picnic. They had the special ad-
vantage of commanding three
language in the party and were
therefore ready to do business
with whomsoever they might meet.
After little canvassing the
business assumed the nature of
work, but the young men were
equal to the emergency. One far
mer, the option on whose land they
very much desired, was found in
his field blowing. After hearing
their plans and wishes he replied in
negative, and further stated that
he had no time to talk to them;
that he must go on with his pillow
ing. One Of the young gentlemen
promptly threw off his coat and
took the pillow and went on with the
plowing so that the farmers time
would not be lost to him while
talking to the other prOspectOrs-
This captured the farmer. He had
never seen such energy before.
The lease was granted.
