This is the time of the year that people with ready money can make big dividends and at the same time get some of the finest garments at great discount from early season buying. Davis & Savard have started their Clearance sale to move the balance of their fall and winter stock, and that means to you a great saving on the price of good quality clothing fresh from the leading tailors- such as Stein Bloch-only a few weeks ago. We did the largest business in the his- tory of our store this season, and we are satisfied to give the late buyer the balance of our stock at prices that will bring them to our corner. Some safes are run on the mark-up and mark down plan. Our clearance sale is run on the mark-down plan only. We give you the figures in our advertisement in this paper.-[ Davis & Savard, Main street and Fairfield avenue, Bridge port.

It's a pleasure to tell our readers about Cough Cure like pr Shoop's. For years pr Shoop has fought against the use of Opium, Chloroform, or oth- CT unsafe ingredients commonly found in Cough remedies. Dr Shoop, it seems, has welcomed the Pure Food and Drug Law recently enacted, for he has worked along similar lines many years. For nearly 20 years Dr Shoop's Cough Cure containers have had a warning printed on them against Opium and other narcotic poisons. He has thus made it possible for mothers sisting on having pr Shoop's Cough Cure. Sold and recommended by R. H. Beers & Co.,, Newtown; B. Hawley & Co.,, Stepney; P. J. Garvin, Bethel; s. J.

A JERSEY OPINION.
 Newtown's Bi-centennial is the title of a neatly printed volume, illustrated with fine photo cuts, which gives an account of the celebration of the 2OOth anniversary of the purchase from the Indians of the land of the town of Newtown, Conn, held August 5, 1905. The book gives a full story of the eel ebration, Including the historical ad- dresses, and in style to make 1t in- teresting, not only to the people who now live or ever have lived in New town, but to anyone interested in the events of Colonial days. Newtown has history that is pleasing, and the story of the purchase of the land from the Indians in 17O5 is one of the things the Newcomers delight in as an act cred itable to their ancestors. Newtown is to-day one of the most attractive towns in Connecticut, with it's health full location, beautiful landscape and people who are loyal and devoted to | its best interests. Its Bi-centennfa anniversary was an "Old Home week, , and there were drawn back to the de | lightful scenes hundreds who had oncs | been among it's residentS.-[F From

IN MEMORIAM.

The sudden death of Robert II. Cage in
the high noon Of life at Pass Christian on
May the Both, was a sad blow to the
many who loved aud esteemed him all
over the South, and especially is his ear
ly death felt and mourued here in New
Iberia, where he spent the best and most
fruitful years of his life
Robert II. Cage was one of the bravest
and best of men. He was above all a
man Of principle, one who loved justice
and truth better than he loved place and
power. He was optimistic to fault. No
night of grief was ever so dark, but in it
he found star, nor morn so drear but
above it he saw the shining sun.
A great many years ago he became
aroused to the injustice of social and poll
tical conditions as they exist in all So
called civilized countries of to-day. and
from that time on till his lamentable ear
ly death at Pass Christian last month, he
was a zealou! and fearless advocate of the
teachings of Henry George. All over the
Southland, wherever his duty as Mason,
among whom he stood deservedly high, or
his business as a Commercial traveller
called him, he worked in season and out
of season to promulgate this, the grandest

Robert Cage was no times server. He
lived for the future and the subject near
est his heart, after providing for his own,
was the felicity of his kind. He loved his
family and was in turn idolized by them,
but while making it his first duty to pro-
vide for their comfort and happiness, his
heart went out in love and pity to all the
disinherited sons of men in every land and
cline; and, realizing the great debt we
owe to the brave heroic souls who have

OUR LEGISLATORS

In the selection of representa-
tives to our Senate and Legislature
we cannot be too careful in settling
upon the men best fitted to fill the
Office. Many of our citizens lose
sight of the very great Importance
that should attach to their choice in
the selection Of capable men, men
Of experience, men who know the
needs of the country, but not least,
men who have brains to back their
convictions and maintain them at
all hazards in the face of any set of
men. We want a legislator who is

PUBLIC ENTERPRISE SHOWN.

Unless all signs fail the people
of this City aud the surrounding
country will have an opportunity
to attend the theater here this COM
ing November. If tie work of
building is carried on as energetic
ally as it has been begun, there is
no doubt but the play house will
be opened on time. The contract
ors are to be commended for the
activity with which the work has
been prosecuted. The ink was
hardly dry on the contract before
the material was on the ground
and today just one half a month
since the contract went into effect,
the material is on the spot, the ex-
cavations for the foundations and
the space beneath the stage are
nearly done and the carpenters are
already preparing work prelimi-
nary to cutting up the timber. A
boat load of shells has arrived for
the roof even and in every direction
there is a life that is astonishing
the people hereabouts.
That all this is possible is due
directly to the Elks and the gentle
men who decided to take the bonds
on the building, thus furnishing
the funds for the building which
will cost in the neighborhood of
$50, 900 when completed and fur
nished. 1t will be fine thing for
New Iberia and in the opinion Of
many it would be as fine if not a
finer thing, if some persons were to
take hold of the hotel proposition.
There is no doubt but New Iberia
needs a big hotel. 1t needs some
place that can comfortably enter
tain from 100 to $50 guests over
Sunday besides the regular travel.
There is no question but if the
hotel were here, there would be
a regular contingent of travelling
men who would stay here each
week in preference to going else
where. Suppose the number of
visitors each Sunday were but
Is. That would mean quite d
sum spent here each week and
month. AS it is now when Satur-
day comes, the travelling and bus
mess man HES himself away to
more pleasant surroundings and
New Iberia is the looser.
Let the hotel come and if a pro-
posal is made by outsiders to build |
give it all the assis lance possible.

Gentlemen-We the undersigned jury
of freeholders, appointed by your honora-
BILE body to appropriate road through
the property of Anatole Dugas, Oscar
Daspit and Mrs. Renoudet, and to assess
damages therefor, respectfully report that
we have viewed the road which was laid out
by your former committee, and we have
found certain places where it should be
changed, which we thought proper to
make, you will see by comparing the map
made by us attached to this report to the
one previously submitted to your honora-
BILE body by your former committee.
Now we have estimated the value of the |
land and bridges of Mr.. Daspit $3.50, and |
also to give him the necessary posts to 1
build up his fence along said road, $50 |
per acre to Mrs. Renoudet, which said
quantity of land you can find by looking
over the report of your former committee.
As for Mr.. Anatols -Dugss, he is wiIlingi
10 donate the road, provided that the Par
SD furnish him with Necessary posts h
rebuild his fence.
This price we consider fair, in view of
he fact that considerable portion of land
las been donated, and in view Of the fact
hat said road will largely add to the value
( adjoining land, and in view of the fact
h,.t it will greatly facilitate the public in
