Several times recently we
have mentioned the inclination
among our citizens, particularly
our country residents, due to
agitation on the part Of the En-
tnrpriSp and the efforts Of Mr..
Luke Bertrand to induce them
to negotiate for small can
ming outfits with which to
preserve their surplus vegetables
and fruit which from season to
season is allowed to go to waste,
for want of local consumption
Since the attention Of the public
has been called to the little ex-
pense incurred by the purchase
Of an outfit, Mr. Bertrand has
placed not less than seventeen
orders among our local people.
This week Mr.. James Marine
has placed an order for one OF
large capacity. When taken into
consideration the cheapness of
those outfits and the fact that
the agent here sells them at cost
they are within the reach Of
every family and none should be
without them.

Clarence Duperier is having
built for himself and wife a beau

pleted, be the handsomest and
most modern for it's size in New
Iberia. The work is being done
under the supervision of MIR. j.
M. Carlin. 1t will be noted from
the proceedings of the City Com
missioners in another column,
the work of building the cement
walks on either side OF the Aven
ne to the corporate line from the
Bayou Bridge, was awarded to
Mr.. Jones of the Greenfield Com
pany. The improvement on that
Avenue was badly needed and
will do great deal towards ad
vancing the value of real estate.
This improvement is to be done
at the solicitation of the property
holders themselves, and shows
civic pride which is very com
mendable.
