A RECORD BREAKER.

Our daily attendance this fall
has been the largest In the history
Of the institution, and from pres
ent indications our January az
tendance will give us at least oOo
in daily attendance. We have
plenty Of teachers, and our work
is practically all taught on the
plan of "learn to do by doing
thru individual instructions. This
enables us to handle any number
of students to the very best adj
vantage. Students who are de-
ficient in Arithmetic, Grammar,
Spelling, etc, get special instruc-
tions in each of these subjects
without extra cost. By our meth
cd of individual instruction, the
student who is slow and backward
in his work is not discouraged by
trying to keep up with the student
who has had superior advantages,
neither is the bright student who
has had special advantages held
back on account of the slow stu
dents, but each is worked to his
full capacity, therefore both are
delighted with their work.

Is a man, a good man, when he
is tainted with the virus of the
prodigal and in his headstrong
profigacy fritters away his patri-
mony?
Is a man, a good man, playing
the role Of sybarite and lavishes
on good fellowship, duties and
time exacted by the maintenance
of respect and sanctity of home
and Preside?
No, my friends, each one of
these phases or types of man, is
tinged with the fatal hue of in
tense personal selfshness, as to
destroy and neutralize in a great
part the standard of service, the
utility Of man expressed in the
highest and best citizenship,
Brother Welch belonged to neith-
er of that school. He had freaks
and foibles Of character and ma
ture; he was a victim to some
weakness that handicap strong
and vigorous minds; he had Meth
er religion in the limited church
Interpretation, nor care and love
for domestic happiness. He was
essentially a man Of the people ;
the peoples servant, dedicating
his life's blood to public service.
A natural born seer in railroad
promotions, he COULD divine a
country's future greatness and
prosperity. With unerring and
constant purpose, with an uncon-
quera'ble and unquenchable thirst
for hard work, he carved success
out of disappointment, adversely.
humiliation and calumny. He had
much religion in the broad sense
Of philosophy. Imbued with the
religion Of work and duty, the
sacred commandments that breeds
unselfishness, he was a saint in the
heaven Of those pioneers who SUBJ
due the wilderness of interest and
suppress the paganism of cunning
and cupidity. He was the great
est benefactor New Iberia can
boast of since its birth and will
long stand alone as the public phil
anthropist whose only reward was
the neglected grave and the sur
viving gibes Of the Pharisee. +"

NEED OF PRODUCE MER-
CHANT.

1t has often occurred to us why
some enterprising merchant did
not interest himself in handling
country produce in New Iberia On
large scale as is done in Lake
Charles, Alexandria, Shreveport
and other points. While we have
in our midst gentleman engaged
in finding markets for chickens
and eggs which is shipped to all
parts of the country, even foreign
markets, we have no one handing
in carload lots, cabbages, cucum
be1s, potatoes, onions, tomatoes,
okra, cucumber, caulifower, pea
nuts and oranges, of which South
west Louisiana and particularly
iberia Parish has a large crop this
year. There is ample room for an
energetic person to make 1t prot
liable to himself if he made a
specially Of buying and sellin:
these articles raised by our small
farmers. With the transportation
facilities that New Iberia Is
blessed with at the present tine
and the fact that our lands are
adapted, not only to the cane and
cotton culture, but more especial
" truck as above mentioned we
feel assured that hundreds OF our
farmers could be induced to d.
versify and engage in wholesale
truck raising if their produce
could be disposed of for cash IN
New Iberia markets. Time and
again we have heard Of first, one
farmer then another raising al
abundant crop of Irish and sweet
potatoes and after harvesting, not
being able to dispose of his pro-
ducts for want of market. Ger
tainly this is no encouragement
to them to put in these crops I'M
less market be found by which
he would be compensated for his
iabors. Is not the fault our own
when the country is dependent
upon one crop for sustenance.
Who more than the business man
of New Iberia is the sufferer un-
der these conditions. Let the
business men Of New Iberia get
together as an Association and in
terest a good reliable and ener-
man to take hold Of the mat
ter. Once the small farmers can
dispose Of their products they will
all raise the above enumerated art
icles on the wholesale scale and
money will be brought to New
Iberia and the Parish that is to-
day drifting to other fields. Is
not this matter that needs a lit
tie thought on the part Of our
merchants and bankers?
