We know of nothing that tells more
emphaticatly of the advance of civil
ization in New Iberia than the inn
proved condition of the Protestant
Cemetery in the West End. From a
distressing patch of weeds it has grown
into a comparatively symmetrical gar
den, a fitting resting place for those
who have passed onward. The Gem
etery Association have had a heavy
task, but who can say they have not
done we'll. Upon the new Lodge there
is still some debt which will be easily
paid if all who are interested will
contribute their share On Tuesday
the second week after Easter, it is
proposed to give an entertainment on
the grounds of Mr.. Geo. Fitzhugh
"a Bazaar with various Booths, with
many interesting features. There will
be a department. for fancy and useful
articles to which it is hoped the skill
full fingers of all our busy maids and
matrons will contribute. A variety
of refreshments, including salads,
gumbo and ices. Contributions or
anything else to either department will
be very gladly received. There will
be a meeting at the Town Hall ON
Monday, at o'clock, of all who will
help III any manner.

If there existed at any time
any doubts as to the utility of our
Hose wagon for the fire department,
they were dispelled bv the fire of Sun
day afternoon last. The rapidity and
excellence of the work was noticed
and commended by all. 1t is an I'M
provement on the old fashioned Reel,
which takes much longer time and
more labor to unwind. Foreman
Pfister deserves the thanks of the
community for the simplicity and ce-
lerity of his device which has proved
its usefulness in such signal manner
Credit should also be given the keeper
of hose room and driver of hcrse Mr..
CASTOR Remy for faithful performance
of his duty. We trust insurance men
noticed the excellence of this work
and of the work in general last Sun
day and will give due credit to our
fire department, which has shown it.
self capable to handle most dangerous
fires.

Residents of West End are watch
ing with keen interest the develop
ments of the new saw mill plant. 1t
now looks as though the undertaking
would go through, the ties for the
switch from the main line to the
plant are being distributed, prepare
tory to laying the rails, as soon as
completed the machinery will be sent
over it to the site of the plant. q The
establishment of this plant in the up
per end of town will no doubt start
quite {. boom, as it will naturally
cause considerable people to be en-
ployed and those people will need
homes to live in, and will be custom
ers of the West End business houses,
and then the traffic in the products OF
the mill will create multiplicity OF
business interests, from whatever
standpoint the matter is viewed, much
benefit must accrue to the people OF
this City, and especially that portion
of it. We await with interest fur

Word has come to us of the death
of Major M. r. Wilson, of Opelousas
1t will be remembered by our citizens
that Major Wilson and Miss Emma
French were united in marriage at the
Methodist Church some three years
ago, at which time he made many
friends in our community by his affa-
BILE manner and pleasing personality.
Major lson was a prominent man
in his community and had often served
it in position of honor and trust. A
brave soldier, scholar, loving
father and husband he commanded the
respect and love of all who knew
him. To the bereaved wife and
family we extend our heartfelt SYM
pathy.

close up the business and bring down
the colonists. who are sturdy farmers,
with means to equip themselves in

The fact that he contracted to pay
sl3O. 900 TO. a set of Charles Dickens
works was the chief cause of bankruptcy
proceedings being instituted against
Emil Scherr, a manufacturer OF SIX
ribbons in Philadelphia. The price OF
the books was 81, 900 a volume-the
price of a moderate library OF ordinary
books-and the set consisted of 40 OF
these 81 900 volumes. Mr.. Scherr has
accounts in New York against which an
attachment was received by the Sherlh
q day or two ago to the amount OF s94, :
300 The attachment is in favor OF
George D. Sproul and is for the balance
of a claim on a contest made between
them on July l, 1902, for Mr.. Scherr
TO purchase set No. of books OF the
st. Dunstan Illuminated edition OF the
complete work OF Charles Dickens, and
also to purchase a set of st. Dunstan H.
Illuminated volumes at $4,000. Mr..
Scherr was to make payments monthly
of 81. 900 each on the first set Of books,
and of $3.50 on the second. He paid
sl7, 900 on the monthly instalments,
but it is alleged did not pay the install
ment due in February last, and Mr..
Sproul brought suit for the amount he
claims is now due.
