carded clothing and ignited them
by knawing the sulphur, Had 1t
not been for some of the neigh
| bors percieving the heavy smoke
emanating from the rear room,
the flooring Of which had already
become ignited. there is no telling

Among the additional an
/ mouhcements this week for Po-
lice Jurors Of the Parish will be
noticed that of DR.. Henry A. King
and Mr.. Cyrus DeBlanc, both
would make good officers to rep
resent this Ward if chosen by the
electorate. 1t is gratifying to the
citizens of New Iberia to see such

First Ward, Patoutville, Judge f..

of the much talked Of trolley be-
tween this city and Jeanerette
was a visitor to New iberia last
Thursday in the interest Of his
proposed road. Mr.. Crosby stated
to us that it would be necessary
to await the decision of the
Courts in the suit filed against
them by the Southern Pacific to
annul their tax. just when this
piece of important litigation will
come up for final adjustment we
are unable to state, but all indica-
tons lead us to believe the Trac-
ton & Power Company will de-
mand immediate trial Of the mer-
it's of the case.

Real estate deals in this
City have been very brisk for the
past month, considerable proper
ty changing hands at excellent
figures which is q good sign.
Among the recent sales was that
of DR.. w. G.. Young which was
purchased by Mr.. Sidney Gonsou-
lin Of st. Martinville This week
and another Of some bayou front
real estate Of Mr.. r. 8. Mcmahon
which was bought by Mr.. Joel
Fisher for use of his growing liv-
cry business. A noticeable change
in conditions here is the fact that
there is not single house that
can be rented on Main, st. Peter
or Charles Streets under any con-
dition. We know it to be . fact
that several people applied for
homes in New Iberia recently anu
were compelled to locate IN other
towns on the Southern Pacific
