CIVIC LEAGUE NOTES.

The Civic League held a special
meeting on Saturday to arrange
for an entert ainment for the ben
eft of the food sufferers which
is to take place at the Opera
House on Monday, May 10th. 1t
is not the policy of the League
to appear before the public in
any project for the purpose of
raising funds, as the members
feel that Their mission is to help
promote the welfare Of New he
ria along other lines. but, they
consider the present need an ex-
ceptional one, and the cause one
which should receive the assist
ance of each one Of us, down to
the mite of little children, to
help succOr those made destitute
by the overflow. Furthermore,
as we do not yet know how close
ly this calamity may touch us
here. and as we must make ready
for refugees who may arrive at
any day. it was the decision OF
the meeting that we retain what
funds may be brought in by the
entertainment for use in the City
of New Iberia.
That this entertainment of May
Goth will meet with a liberal pat
ronage from our community IS a
foregone conclusion as New Ibe-
ria is notably a generous town
towards any worthy object. The
price of admission has been placed
at the reasonable rate Of 25c for
adults and 15c for children un-
der fifteen and the tickets will be
sold before hand. Sandwiches,
cakes, home made candy and fruit
punch Gall at five cents) will be
sold to swell the fund and as the
ladies are preparing for large
and generous crowd, they request
donations of any of these articles
to be delivered to the several
members of the reception COM
mittee, Mesdames Daigre, Gal
land, Sealy, Grant, Pfster and j.
