}, On Tuesday last the City
Fathers Of Jeanerette granted a
} franchise over it's thoroughfares
to Mr.. w. F. Crosby of the New
Orleans Traction Company, who
ontemplates erecting trolley
line connecting New Iberia with
our sister City. From all appear
ances there is apparently no op-
position in either Of the places to
the small tax these gentlemen are
asking for to assist them in the
cree ton Of this much needed i'm
provement. Nothing more than a
trolley line could develop New
Iberia and we hope this opportun-
lily will not slip as heretofore,
through no fault, however, of our
citizens.

In our rambles this week for
new items we had occasion to drop
in at Suttle's headquarters, and
upon inquiring if there was po-
litical slate being made there to
control the destinies of the Par
ish for the next four years, the
reply was promptly given that
Alpine had launched for City Mar
shall Mr.. Erab Broussard and he
would be backed by that close cor
poration of morning and evening
lOungers. Just what effort the
chief of the bunch will make to
lend victory to their candidate
we are unable at this time to
state, for we wish to inform
Alpine that there is much differ
ence between a political race and
a race between the ponies and as
he is delegated as campaign man.
ager he will have to become more
active and! give some attention
to the squatters Of the Court
House square.

The press rooms Of The En-
terprise were busy this week print
ing elaborate programs for the
commencement exercises of Mount
Carmel Convent of New Iberia to
be held at St. Berchmans Hall on
the evenings Of June Goth and
21st. We notice the graduates this
season will be Misses Celeste Dim
TRY and Bessie Galliand. both tai
ented young ladies and daughters
of Messrs. D. A. Dimitry and
Maurice Galliand of this City.
None more than these two young
ladies lend their valuable assist
ance in making local musicals
and literary entertainments for
philanthropic purposes a success
whenever called upon, as has been
attested in more than one instance
and the good Sisters Of Mount
Carmel should have reason to be
pround Of these worthy pupils and
graduates Of the 1911 term.

Mr.. Arthur Mouret Of Jeane-
rette was in New Iberia last We'd
nesday trying to raise funds to
assist in laudable undertaking,
me that will be beneficial to all
lsers of the public road between
New iberia and Jeanerette and
succeeded fairly well under the
circumstances. His purpose is to
assist the Police Jury in removing
Ill the high bridges between the
wo cities and substituting where
.ver possible, large tile drains in
tead of the unsightly wooden
bridges that are in many instan- ,
,es several inches above the sur
ace of the road, thus making one
thoroughfare along the
highway. The owners and users
# automobiles should encourage
Mr.. Mouret by subscribing liberal
v to the improvement, as none ;
more than them will be benefited
we're the distractions removed. At
llmost every crossing these ma !
hines are thumped to such an ex- ,
emit as to positively injure the !
and these obstacles to !
hat important road should have
eceived attention several years ,
go.
