has been made against the Fever all
summer and especially that we have
had the services of so energetic n pub
lie servant as DIR. J. Wofford Sanders,
who has at great financial loss to him
self and the demoralizing of his prac-
tce given his time day and night to
Ike faithful performance of duty. At
times 1t would seem most any man
would throw up the duties in disgust
owing to the many controversies and
unjust remarks made, sufficient to de-
stroy the patience Of any ordinary
man, but through it all he has re-
manned faithful to his post personally
experimenting many of the details of
the fight. New Iberia owes debt of
gratitude to the noble son of Louis
lana who has shown the courage of
lion, and the skill and diplomacy of n
Nestor, and now that the fever at this
late day has appeared. his quick action

the advent of Jack Frost. The entllu-
siastic support of our City physicians
freely given emphasizes the regard in

wisdom for our people to stand firmly

Officer, till the last vestige of fever is

We have noticed that a PROPOSE
tion has been made by Hon. E. A.
McIlhenny thst is Of great value to
the Parish of Iberia. He proposes to
donate $4,000 in easl, and all the shells
necessary to make first class road
from his Canning Factory at Avery's

Jury will acquire the right of way for
the purpose. This is indeed most
important proposition and one we'll
worthy the best endeavors of our Par
ochial legislature, who should lose no
time in getting the necessary papers
and grants from property holders along
the proposed line Of road. Nothing
% improves country rs good roads,
they are the arteries of trade, conf
merce, pleasure and will pay larger
per cent on the amount invested than
most any other public utility. This
road completed would be an object
lesson to the entire country, and would
no doubt inaugurate movement
which would become general through
out the district, for good roads. With
the large quantity Of road making ma
terial that is now daily produced by
the famous canning factory of the
McIlhenny's, it would be but matter
OF time when New Iberia would have
the best roads i'm the State, facilita-
ting the moving of crops, travelling by
carriage or buggy and by automobiles,
the use OF which is daily gaining in
this country Indeed good roads are

trust that our citizens and business
men may petition the Police Jury to
take up this matter and push to a
