Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Patin, OF
Lafayette, visited our City this week
and circulated among their many
friends. Frank says says he was
pleased to see the evident signs OF
progress in New Iberia, in the forma
ton of Board of Trade and City
railroad plans, ETC., and declares that
in Lafayette the people are actuated
by one purpose, the good of Lafayette
first, last and all the time, they stick
together like brothers, work day and
night for their handsome little city.
So should it ever be in every COM
munity. New Iberia is having some
fine examples of civic pride, public
spirit and progress in all the towns
around her, enough to awaken her
from her slumbers and go forth to
conquer and develop the finest prop
osition ever given to a community.

The contest for Postmaster at
New iberia has at last been settled by
the President sending in the name of
Mr.. Thomas R. Morse, the present in
cumbent. While we, reiterate that
either candidate would have made a
good officer, still we are free to say
that Postmaster Morse has made ca
pable and efficient public official,
whose record at the Department in
Washington was one of the prime fac
tors in securing his re-appointment.
We feel warranted in saying that the
affairs of our Postoffice will be ad-
ministered for the next four years
with that signal ability that has char
acterized it in the past. We congrat
ulate the Postmaster and the patrons
of the office.
