We notice on exhibition at the
Carstens show window, mammoth
caulifiower, sixteen inches in diameter,
weighing 10 lbs of fine texture and
full and COMPACT form. We are told
by Mr. Carstens, who raised the beau
tiful "fower'' that 1000 of these can
be raised upon one acre Of ground and
that they can be readily marketed at
from 80. 90 to $l2. 90 per dozen, which
would make revenue per acre, far
exceeding any other crop known. This
proves that our climate and soil are
adopted to truck gardening and where
the proper effort and Intelligence are
expended, success is bound to follow.
We commend this subject to many of
onr people who are looking for work,
who might be able to make a good
revenue from truck gardening.

THE BOOK CIRCLE.

The Modern Book Circle continues
to grow in interest The feature
which seems to give the greatest
amount of pleasure is the originating
which is manifested in each new pro-
gram. Every meeting holds surprise
in store. Nothing could have been
more delightful than the meeting ON
Tuesday last, at the home of Mrs.
John Gebert.
The members and invited guests
upon arrival were requested to doff
their hats, very unusual custom now
at afternoon functions, so curiosity
was on tip toe. After all had as

was beautiful and gay with masses of
artificial flowers, SO natural that one

party and that each person present
was expected to give evidence of her
skill and taste in constructing a hat
which she was to wear as soon as
finished. Crepe paper of every kind
and lots of pins were furnished and it
was a hive of industry for at least
twenty minutes Now the meaning
of all the lovely flowers was made
plain when each busy milliner was
allowed to choose out of the profusion
of blossoms those best suited to her
special love of bonnet and now the
climax was reached as each head of
matron or maid was crowned with the
work of her hands, it was really
test of skill and taste as there was a
great variety certainly. Notably
among the most becoming bonnets.

Miss Louise Taylor, although Mrs
LeDoux Smith certainly never looked
better than in her toque of magenta
crepe with purple and white morning
glories and Mrs. T. d. Foster looked
so regal in her royal purple corronet,
that she was dubbed princess and put

snap shot was taken. Refreshments
were served in the DINING room by

we announce any increase in our in
dustrial plants or wage payers. We
are informed that Messrs Eugene
Guillot and j. W. Taylor are erecting
plant for the manufacture of arti-
fetal stone from cement, combined
with other materials, the same are
made into building blocks of any form
or shape desired, and are very durable
even more so than some grades of
stone, this material is used to a large
extent by many communities North
and South and enters perfectly into
building operations, at a much less
cost than stone. We trust the venture
may be a decided success and that
those contemplating building will
patronize the new plant, thus en-
couraging a new industry and bene-
fitting themselves.

Recently Mrs. P F. Henry sold
to w. J. Burke and J. p. Suberbielle,
her lot on East Main street. The lot
being 100 feet wide and Teche street
being 40 feet wide, the purchasers
with consent of the Council placed
Teche street in the center of the lot
bought, thus adding to each lot a 80
foot front and opening the streets
through to Bayou Teche, which has
greatly benefited both properties and
opened to sale fine residence property
on Teche street to the Bayou, num-
erous fine building sites are thus open
to the public which will no doubt lose
no time in taking advantage of the
most desirable residential districts of
the City and is rapidly building up.

We hear various statements as to
the population of New Iberia. 1t is
now six years since the last census
was taken, at that time the population
was G,Sl5, being the fourth City Of
the State at that time. Whether or
not she has held that position another
census only can tell We notice that
Lake Charles has recently taken a
Genus and finds over If 900 people
within her city limits AS the limits
of New Iberia have been extended
twice since the last census, it is more
than likely our population is equal to
that Of Lake Charles We should de-
termine the fact anyway a census
should be taken shat the figure may
be known 1t is detriment to MS to
be classed a small town when we
know by virtue of our population we
should be a City. The expense Of
finding out Just how big we are would
not be great. WHY not try it.
