lion. j. {. Akers of Jcane-
rette was in New Iberia last We'd
nesday and favored us with a
pleasant call. Mr.. Akers ex-
pressed himself as being thor
oughly Disguised with the pollul-
ed condition Of Bayou Teche and
no action taken by the State
Board to have the trouble rem
edled. 1t is hoped that when the
Board complete their itinerary that
something tangible will be done
to give the residents along the
Tcche some permanent relief IRON
the stencil of this polluted stream.
Several visits to this section OF
the State has been made by this
Board. in fact our Parish Health
Officer Sanders has been very alert
in visiting several refineries with
members Of the Board and pointed
out just from what source the tron-
bic eminated, but up to the present
time nothing has been done to put
a stop to the nefar~us practice OF
pumping the refuse from the mills
into the Tcche and this past sun
mer the conditions have been
worse than ever along its banks.
There is not the least doubt but
what the State Board is dong
commendable work in travelling
over the State and pointing out
he unsani.ary condition of public
places in the sowns along its
route, but at the same time they
should get busy themselves and
set the example when it devolvcs
entirely upon them to remedy the
very conditions they condemn in
cities and towns under the juris-
diction Of local Boards of Health

New iberia is at last on the
maps. The way we found it out
was that Mr. Grey, the advanced
agent of the world s distinguished
singer Ellen Bush Yah, hearing
that New Iberia had considerable
musical talent and more musical
taste than usually falls to the lot
of small towns, has given us the
chance to hear one of most famous
artistic combinations ever brought
together, with the famous soprano,
who scars six or eight notes high
err in the scale than any other
singer in the world. and the very
highest note is sweet. true and
birdlike, a marvel IN music. The
Protestant Cemetery Association
have had the temerity to take up
the proposition to give New he
rians the treat of their lives.
These four famous artists will be
here immediately after Easter, Of
course everybody who has taste
for the beautiful and artistic in
music will want to go. Seats from
one dollar and a half down to fifty
cents. The Cemetery Association
needs money very much. The dues
are low, only % cents month,
and every small lot should BE- rep
resented by two or more contri-
buffers and the large lots in pro
portion. Of course there are n num-
Der of lots belonging TO poor folks
