A. Drainage Canal.

A drainage canal to connect
New Iberia with the Gulf, will be
built by local capital of New
Iberia, just as soon as the Supreme
Court will have untangled some
conflicting laws passed by the
recent Legislature, which inter
fere. Favorable action by the
Supreme Court is expected in the
near future.
This drainage canal would
serve to reclaim a vast acreage OF
fertile land to the length OF
twenty miles. It would prove a
great benefit to the country which
lies contiguous to the land now
under water. A water works
system, electric light plant,
pepper sauce factory and cotton
mill are among the new institu
tions in course of construction OF
about to be built in New Iberia.
The cotton mill is being built
on the mutual plan, many Of the
financiers of the parish having an
interest in it, All things con,
sidered. New Iberia is in the most
flourishing condition of hel

With the Exception of New
Iberia,
Has a Club or Two. Efforts
Should be Made to Or
ganize a Club Here.

New Iberia has no base ball club
IL the field for the season that Is
now being ushered ln--and as far
as we can learn, no efforts are as
yet being made with this object
III view.
This is indeed to be regretted.
With the material that is here, New
Iberia shoulI have the best base
ball club IN Southwest Louisiana
and one of the best in the State
and yet we have no club at all,
excepting one or two clubs of small
boys.
Most of the towns in the State
have one or two good base bali
clubs and have games on Sundays,
if not during the week. Donaldson
vile has already put strong clnb
IN the field for the season that
is now at hand, and has entered the
New Orleans Coast League, which
is composed of the club in question
and three New Orleans clubs. Lake
Charles, Baton Rouge, Crowley,
Franklin, Monroe, Alexandra,
Thibodaux, Houma ana numerous
other towns IN the State have either
organized clubs tor the season, or
are making arrangements with that
end IN view.
New Iberia had an excellent
club IN the field during the season
of 1899, composed of Willie Lourd !,
Cab. Conrad, Cab. Leblanc, Oscar
Dasplt, Memo Bergerie, Alfred
Duperler, Boulder, Joe Davis,
Eddie Terrel, Paul VOORHEES,, -
Mason of Jeanerette and others /;
and while this CLUB played less than
a dozen games during the season, 1t
made record that was anything
but bad, and could have won the
championship Of Southern Louisiana
with little more practice and
determination on their part. Some
four and FIVE years ago, we had
| two and three good clubs III cur
city and our people then had the
opportunity of witnessing some
good ball playing-hut under the
psesent condItiors, they would have
to go elsewhere to witness game.
1t is to be hoped that club will
be organized here within the course
of week or two. as the season
will open up in earnest on or about
the first of April.

One of the subjects that should
be discussed by the Vinita Com
mercial club when that organiza-
tion is completed is the condition
of country roads leading into
town. The time has come in the
course of events when roads must
be opened permanently and kept
in passable condition. The
country is fast filing up with peo-
pie and there is constant travel on
all the roads. The time is fully
ripe for intelligent action and the
club is the proper body to take
hold of it.

like, home, local or neighbours testi-
mony, you can always ascertain the
truth Of it without leaving the city

tom Of kidney trouble) for number
of years. ! was advised to take some
of Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, and
following the suggestion. l went to the
HOLSTER Drug Co.'S store, Fort street,
and got some Of these. Having taken
them, they relieved me straight away,
and are, I may say, the best and in fact
the only cure for backache. l have
mentioned the virtue of this wonderful
remedy to several persons, among
whom is my friend, Mr.. Frank Metcalf,
who found relief, and he is now a firm
believer in Doan's Backache Kidney
Pills"
Some of the symptoms of kidney dis
ease are pain in the back, and sides,
headaches, nervousness, frequent
thirst, hot dry skin, shortness OF
breath, evil forebodings, troubled
sleep, puffiness of the eyelids, swelling
Of the feet and ankles, loss of flesh,
dark colored urine, deposits, etc. If
you have any of these symptoms you
should lose no time in treating them,
for delay is dangerous.
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are
