Mr.. B. F. House of this Pa
ish, the weather forecaster, aft
: studying carefully, so he say
the general conditions up to tt
I present time prophesies ligl
. frost for this section as late ,
the 9th and 10th of April. NJ
House has made many prediction
| before regarding frosts in thi
| section which appeared on tn
dates named by him, that man
seem to think his frost predit
tiOns on the dates mentioned wi
come true. We trust the gentle
man is mistaken, for the reaso
that frost in so unpropitious
time will do the truck gardener
much harm.

The friends in this City of
Mr.. f. T. Hanley, were much
panied to learn that he had the
sad misfortune, the second time,
in falling from a moving freight
train while in the performance
of his duty as a brakeman on the
Southern Parific Railroad. It will
be remembered that several
months since Mr.. Hanley fell
from the cars near CheneHvillo
and came very near being killed
outright, inSuaing himself ser
lously from the fall. Again last
week at or near the very same
place Mr.. Hanley again fell AMI
had to be taken to the Sanitarium
1T Alexandria for treatment.
From what we learn his injuries
his time are not serious and his
friends hope for speedy recov-
Try. The young gentleman re-
urned home this week. /
Never in the history of the
'arish Of Iberia have the public
Dads of this Parish been in the

his City as the property Of Hon.
}. r. Burke, Just outside of the
orporate limits. the holes in the
Dad are such that it is impos-
lble to navigate through them
nth a vehicle. On Thursday
corning as many as three buggies
one time were actually begged
p to the axle in trying to extri- ,
'te from the mud. This condi- !
on is one that is deplorable and
re members of the Police Jury
'om this Ward should see that I
stter drainage is created along

tcuse for bad roads along the 1
