A NEW HOTEL NEEDED.

IA Every day accentuates the fact
that "a modern up to date hotel is
needed in this city. Alexandria
has its 100 room hotel, Shreveport
has several fine ones, Jennings has
Just finished a beautiful modern
building costing $4,000. Little
Jeanerette has a perfect gem of a
hotel, convenient, elegant complete
in all its appointments. What's
the matter with New Iberia an
hotel commensurate with its i'm
portance and needs cannot be
erected here. We have some of the
most elegant sites in the whole
South. We have climate that is
incompatible environments that
are pleasing, and healthful. An
hotel of 100 rooms could soon be
filled with guests during the fall
and winter, guests who pass our
very doors for California, Mexico
or Texas. Yet we have in some
respect, advantages superior to
theirs, all it needs is the enterpriS-
ing man or company to exploit the
matter and bring to the attention
of the thousands of people who fit
from the frigid North, Southwark,
as soon as Old Boreas his freezing
blasts upon them. Many do not
wait for the warning, but in the
early days of October wing their
flight Southwark in search of a
coy place to stay till the balmy
breezes again invite them north
ward. The fact that a first class
hotel is located in New Iberia, will
do more to advance her interests
and bring new population here
than any other factor. The hotel
of a town are indications of its pros
perity, prominence and Importance.
At present we have not a single
hotel buildings in this town, only
old building made over, and used
as a makeshifts. The hour, the
opportunity is here, where is the
