New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1911-07-22

The rains throughout this
country. even as far as the Texas
and Mississippi line has continued
for the past fifteen days with an
average Of three floods every
twenty-four hours in this Parish,
particularly over the City limits
of New Iberia. The roads as q
consequence have become nothing
but bogholes. even our much
worked streets becoming almost
impossible. Since Thursday, we
have had but one light shower
and it is hoped we will be spared
from more downpours- for several
weeks to come. 1t is almost an
impossibility for our farmers to
come to the City to transact busl'
ness.
