GARDEN TOPICS FOR
FEBRUARY.


This is very important ques-
ton, as the object is to have early
vegetables and be the first in the
market. The first always brings
fancy prices and that is when the
gardeners make the money.
We often hear there is no mon
ey in growing vegetables. Its a
mistake, there is money and plen-
ty of it, but it depends upon be-
ing first and having the best at
the beginning Of the season.
But how can / be first in the
marketf I cannot force the sea-

THE ELECTION IN IBERIA.

Parish between rival caloi''''' '
was that of last Tuesday. FROM
carly morn until way after candle
LIGHT the voters were struggling
"a receive their ballots to enter
tho six booths which had been
provided by the Parish Democra-
t,c Committee and which was a
serious mistake under the clrcum-
stances with so many votes to be
polled from six a. m. to p. m.
In the first place two sets OF com
missioners should have been Sc
lected to manage the large vote
here, in fact there should have
been several precincts scattered
over the City as was the case IN
the last City election. Not less
than one hundred of our citizens
were SO Disguised after being
iostled for several hours in the
crowds that they left the polls
in disgust and swOre they would
never present themselves at the
polls against unless more booths
were provided in the future. Had
these people voted in a reasonable
length of time. Sheriff Henderson
would have received a large ma
iority over his opponents in the
first primary. for there is not the
least doubt he would have re
caived 90 per cent Of the votes
that were never put into the box
in this Ward, which caused him
to fall short of only "a votes III
defeating both Mr.. Lassalle and
Mr.. Delahoussaye and which un-
less his opponent comedies his
election. (Which he should do, as
it is a useless fight under the cir
cumstances.) will necessarily mean
a second primary. Hon. }. Gabl
Leblanc, the efficient Clerk OF
Court defeated his opponent
something over two hundred and
sixty votes. which is testimon-
ial of his esteem and popularity
in the Parish Of iberia. There
were many surprises when the
vote was fully .tabulated with
reference to the Parish giving
Hall a majority over both, Aswell
and Michel of one hundred and
seventy.nine votes. Hall receiving
1853. Michel $40 and Aswell only
439. It was the general impress
sion that Hall would run third
at every polling booth in Iberia
when it was just the opposite, he
carried small pluralities all
through the Parish, surprising his
friends as well as those support
ing the other candidates. A sec
ond primary for the selection Of
an Assessor between Mr.. Fred
Bauman and Armance Derouen
will have to be pulled off and also
in the selection of Coroner, the
race being between Drs. Shaw
and Carstens. Judge John r.
Davis was reelected City Judge
over both his opponents, Messrs.
Robert Brown and J. Adonis
Blanc. Mr.. Jules e. Dupuy and
L. A. Moresi Of Jeanerette were
elected Representatives, Mr.. Du-
puy receiving a plurality Of votes
is all the boxes with the exception
of the 9Th ward. The Police Ju-
rors elected in the Sixth Ward
are DR.. Henry A. King, Horace F.
Gates and Cyrus DeBlanc.
The position Of City Marshal
was a holly contested one and
resulted in a second election
between Messrs. j. Fay Breaux
and Mora Dominique. For Parish
Committeeman, Hon. Porteus R.
Burke won over our popular fur
niture merchant. Mr.. Frank j.
Dauterive by a good majority.
Following is a tabulated list of the
vote Of the 9th ward only for State
officials:
