situated the dwelling. barns, etc. j.,
which may be bought separately,
and the remainder ofthe property
will be sold in tracts extending
from the public road back to the

while situated on the East bank
of the Teche is not subject to

was sustained by last years high
water which Inundated almost
every plantation on that side of

best markets. He said that the
small farmers, who sing'y raise
not more thar ten or fifteen hogs
to ship. ara compelled to pay
exhorbitant freight charges. which
thereby reduces the prof :; out
by cooperating and grouping
their cattle and shipping them to-

to make a full carload, and that
by shipping that way the freight
charges would be amazingly less,
and the profits correspondingly
greater.

Mr.. Gabriel Geringer. an old
and respected citizen of this par
ish, was run over by the Cypre-
mort Branch train last Saturday.
The accident happened at the
crossing on Iberia street. Mr..
Geringer was an old man. When
he reached this crossing in jump
ing to get out of the way of a
moving freight train, he came in
to collision with the Cypremort
Branch train and was fatally in
iured. This crossing is extremely
dangerous. A person frequently
cannot see a train coming from
the direction of the depot until h."
is on the track. This is caused
by the parking Of box cars on the
siding between Iberia street and
the depot. The BANNER has
called the attention Of the railroad
authorities to the dangerous con-
dition of this crossing more than
once. We again suggest the alb
solute necessity of having flag
man stationed there.
