Manager Geo. w. Dallas OF
the Iberia Cypress Company, sold
last Thursday morning their tow
boat "Sadie Downman' with all
it's equipments to the Daigre
Barge Line of Houma, La. This
is an unwelcome piece of news to
the business men Of New Iberia
as it means in the near future they
will sell off piece meal everything
that pertains to their big mill in
this City and eventually shut
down the plant for good. New
Iberia can i'll afford at this time
to. lose that mammoth industry
and it is hoped something else
will develop here shortly to make
up the loss. IL,
You can't afford to be without

"A negro named George Eli,
one of the employees Of the Pa
tout Bros, owners of Enterprise
Plantation near Patoutville, VIII"
was assaulted by several
other negroes on the night of
August 4th while walking on the
railroad track is still critically
i'll from the blows lie received
with some blunt instrument
crushing his brain. Sheriff Hem
derson has under arrest sew
eral parties who reside in that
neighborhood and Has strong
hopes of having the right one
convicted. Last Tuesday an axe
was sent to the Sheriff's Office
that was found in the vicinity of
the crime by some of the residents
of that neighborhood, but Mr..
Henderson has reason to believe
the negro was attacked with a
cane knife. It is hoped the per-
petrators Of the dastardly crime
will meet a just punishment for
the deed. se. Il

While xhis City has in its
employ Civil Engineer, special
ly engaged to protect the inter-,
est of New iberia in the construc-
ton of the Model Road from the
Post Office to the lower limits of
the corporation, would it not be
well to have the gentleman lay
eff the drains Of the entire City
so that drainage, bitches would
be dug in such way as to lead
off all water at the nearest points
and proper places. As at pres
ent in many instances the men

too deeply in some places, and in !
they become mere
cess pools and breeding, places
for disease carrying germs.
Stakes could be driven at prop
pr places as a guide, showing the
depth which each ditch should
have and not till then will the
proper results be obtained. While
