HOW TOWNSHIP GOVERN
MENT WOULD HELP
THE SOUTH.

How much further advanced our
whole Southland would be if we
had had township meetings at
least once year. gathering all the
people together to discuss roads
and schools and taxes. and health
matters and public Improvements,
etc, and everything looking to
public progress and the public
welfare. This is what New Eng
land has done for generations. and
her material progress is largely
due to it !; this is what the South
has not done, and our backward
ness is partly due to our not hav-
ing done it.
Once a year there is the regular
annual "town meeting" in each
rural township or civil district N
Massachusetts; that is to say, all

A FREE LECTURE.

Next Tuesday evening, August
10Th, the members of the Iberia
Truck Growers Association have
arranged to have a free lecture for
the benefit Of those engaged in the
Parish in the raising of truck for
the northern markets. Mr.. Sam
uel Riggs, who has returned to
New Iberia from Crystal Sprin gs,
Miss. great truck country be-
cause the farmers have an organ
ization there to show them how to
raise truck, and how easily it is
to dispose of it if the proper at
tentiOn is given to the sales de-
partment. Mr.. Riggs is we'll post
ed in this line of business and
knows the advantages that will
ultimately follow a good strong
organization, all working in harm
ony with one another for the sue
cess of the organization, coming
from section of the country that
is far behind Iberia Parish when
it comes to condition of the soil,
climate, etc. We have in this Par
ish superior soil season, the crops
maturing much earlier than in
Mississippi, where thousands of
carloads of truck is shipped an
nually to Eastern and Northern
markets. Since the existence here
Of an Association. we have seen
how the prices of corn was made
take a leap of not less than soc on
each barrel, with only but little
effort on the part Of the. Associa-
ton to protect its members. This
will also hold good with every
thing raised in this Parish, if only
the farmers will lend their assist
ance to the organization. Each
and every farmer. no matter what
he produces should contribute his
efforts to the welfare of the AS
ISOLATION. The dues per annum is
only $1.O0. Is il not worth the
small dues to be able to dispose of
your products. The experience of
the past season is worth money to
the officers and as the years roll
around they will be in better condi- |
ton to advise you what to plant |
and how best to dispose of what |
you plant.

A BAD PRACTICE.

In the early part Of last week
one Of the progressive business
men Of New iberia called at our
sanctum and exhibited TO us a
bill head used by another merch-
ant Of this City which was print
ed in New Orleans and wanted to
know if much Of this was done
here by the local business men.
Had the piece Of work been some
thing that could not be printed
by the job offices here, he would
have understood why it was order
ed outside. but instead it was such
an inferior piece of work that we
would have been ashamed OF 1t

THE RICE MARKET.

A more cheerful tone is appar-
ent in Rice circles; a steady de-
mand not large in detail, but sat
isfactory in the aggregate, has
changed the views of holders, and
the well assorted stocks are held
firmly. While prices continue rea-
sonable on Honduras styles, it IS
only on occasional instance where
purchases can be made to as good
advantage as two weeks ago. Of
fers to buy at agreed price for de-
livery sixty to ninety days hence,
have been turned down; this is due
no doubt to the uncertain condi-
tons surrounding the harvest now
under way. This is equally true
of Japan sorts, which under con-
slant demand, with no resupply
available for sixty days to come
is held firmly, with hardening tone
on desirable parcels. New Crop
