Jailer Rene Leblanc, the prisoners
are now scraping the walls pre-
paratory to a coat of Alabastine.
the cells with then be reprinted
and the entire building placed in a
clean and thoroughly sanitary
condition. Nor has the Court
House been entirely overlooked.
The plast'ered ceilings and walls
are being repaired wherever nee
cssarv and, we are informed, that
the interior at least, is soon to be

covering Of fresh paint.
Don't let your plantation help

"A sad accident befel one,
Paul Mischelke, a lad about ten
years Of age last Sunday after
noon which cost him the loss OF
his left leg. The boy, together
with another, little more adj
Vanced in age We're out hunting
when they met Il negro boy who
joined them in search Of game.
When III the act Of preparing 10
discharge the gun IT was noticed
the weapon had become disar-
ranged and it was then handed
over to the negro boy to adjust
when its contents was accidently
discharged into the left leg of
the Mischelkc boy, completely
SCATTERING his leg with the result
that amputation was necessary
and now the unfortunate will be
a cripple for life. 1t strikes Us
that children Of that age more
especially when not accompanied
by grown people should never be
allowed shot guns and other Wea-
pOns to endanger the lives of
themselves as well as those who
accompany them. IT is very
common practice among many OF
our people to give these Youngsters
gums when they are entirely too
npung to appreciate the danger
: that they are subjecting them
selves too i'm order to kill mess
of birds or rabbit that can be
bought for l5c.
Some six weeks since we
mentioned IN our columns that an
effort should be made to attract
some wholesale buyers of produce,
such as sweet potatoes, tomatoes,
okra, lettuce, cabbages and i'll
fact all of the commodities that
could be raised profitably in he
rid Parish. We are pleased to
know that one OF our progressive
citizens, Mr.. G. l.. Lassalle, has
interested himself IN the matter
and brought to New Iberia Il gen
tlenan by the name of Mr.. j.
Porter resident of Opelousas
| who will engage in the business
| of buying all the sweet potatoes
and other articles that our farm
ers will raise. Mr.. Porter is b
practical truck farmer himself
and last Saturday evening met a
number Of our gardeners and
others interested in truck garden
ing and made them an impressive
talk on sweet potato culture, etc,
that will have material effect
for good among the farmers IN
| general. We have been informed
that Il local Association will be
effected and the members in the
near future among the truck
growers will devote a great por-
ton of their time giving advise
to the farmers as to the most val
liable crops that should he raised
in this section. This is step in
the right direction and we antIc-
ipate change for the better IN
Iberia as soon as it becomes gen
erallv known that a cash market
can be found right here in our
midst for the purchase Of truck
of every kind.
