and in addition, whatever sum
may be awarded me over and
above the $4,000 offered by the
decision of the Court in the trial
of this appropriation suit tomor-
row. Should this proposition be
accepted, the Parish Is to.shaye
right to begin work on standard

ever they see fit and proper, bat
this work is in no wise to inter-
fere or retard the traffic over the
toll road, and | am to have ex-

Respectfully submitted,

Mr.. Wyche then dictated to the
Secretary the following to be in
cluded in his proposition, viz:
Including full drainage priv
ilege, fencing from barn to gate
to be removed and rebuilt at the
Parish expense, right-of-way six
ty feet or more over low lands
and so feet over high lands,
Strengthening Of road to connect
with st. Martin Highway as per
sketch. !"
Mr.. Landry moved that the
proposition be rejected and that
the appropriation suit instituted
to secure a right-of-way through
the property Of Mr.. Wyche be pro-
ceeded with. Mr.. Romero moved
as a substitute that the PROPOSE
ton be tabled, this was seconded
by DR.. Boykin and carried. Mr.
Decourt voting, No.
Mr.. Walter Y. Kemper who had
made surveys for drainage canals
proposed, offered a map and pro-
file showing the feasible routes
and ;.lso estimates of cost of each.
On motion of Mr.. Druilhet, duly
seconded and carried, action was
deferred until next Thursday,
Nov. 18th, when Mr.. Kemper
agreed to again meet the Jury.
Mr.. w. L. Burke stated to the
jury that the City Commission
ers of New Iberia had informed
him that the City would contri-
butte $4,000 to defray expenses
of improving the exterior of the
Court House and surrounding
grounds; provided that the Par.
ish would delegate the task to
the ladies of the Civic League
and contribute $4,000 for the
purpose. On motion of DIR. Boy

On motion, duly seconded and
carried, the order of business was
suspended in order that those in
attendance might be permitted
to present their cases to the
Jury. Mayor Fontelieu and Mr..
E. F. Millard, representing the
City Commissioners of New 1be-
ria asked that the jury create a
drainage district with the purpose
Of dredging Little Bayou to
which the City, in the event of
carrying the tax election, would
contribute and by utilizing that
route provide a navigable canal
to connect Bayou Teche with
Grand Lake. Because of insult
ficient data, the Jury was unable
to take action but Messrs. Fon-
telieu and Millard were assured
that as soon as the City would
furnish the necessary surveys and
definitely establish the lines OF
the district proposed, that the
jury would submit the PROPOSE
ton to the tax payers interested.
All the retail liquor dealers of
the Parish were present and
through Mr.. Jules j. Olivier,
asked that the license for the
sale of retail liquor be reduced
from One Thousand Dollars to
Five Hundred. On motion of Mr..
Gary, duly seconded and carried
vote was taken resulting in the
reduction of the license to $500
per year.
Mr.. Jas. w. Wyche submitted
the following:
To the Honorable President and
Members of the Police ury:
Dear Sirs-In a last endeavor
to settle our controversy relative
to proposed road to st. Mar
tinville, which controversy is now

business proposition which I
believe to be perfectly fair and
equitable one for the Parish, and
also conserves my interests salts

I will agree to sell you my toll

side of the oak tree at hill, and

When the elder Mccormick in
vented the self-binding harvester
a revolution was wrought in
American agriculture. With one
machine doing the work Of many
men came the expansion Of the
grain producing industry to
much greater proportions than
was possible under the slow and
laborious method Of harvesting
with the sickle, and farmers
branched out and became more
prosperous. Then other harves-
ters were invented, and the com
petition between manufacturers
was keen and had the effect Of
keeping down prices. The Inter
national Harvester Company
brought the warning manufac-
t'urers into one happy family,
and, as celebrated parsonage
once boasted: "The world be-
came it's oyster" By such
means are benefcient inventions
perverted into engines for the op-
preston of the farmer, an evil
which demonstration trains, car
rying high-priced specialists to
preach the gospel of more corn
and more alfalfa, are powerless
to obscure.-Country Review.

OUR FRIENDS.

Having carefully chosen Few
friends, we should never let them
90 out of our lives if we can by
any possibility retain them.
Friendship is too rare and sacred
a treasure lightly to be thrown
away. And yet many people are
not careful to retain their friends.
Some lose them through inatten-
ton, failing to maintain those lit
tie amenities, courtesies, and
kindnesses which cost so little
and yet are hooks of steel to
grapple and hold our friends.
Some drop old friends for new
one. Some take offense easily at
imagined Sights or neglects, ana
ruthlesslv cut the most sacred
ties. Some become impatient Of
little faults, and discard even
truest friendship. Some are in
capable of any deep or perma,
nent affection, and fly from
friendship to friendship like birds
from bough to bough, but make
no nest for their hearts in any.
There are great many ways of
losing friends. But when we
have once taken into our lives we
should cherish them as ra,rest
jewels. If Sights are given, let
them be overlooked. If misun-
derstandings arise, let them be
quickly set right.-Selected.
