We had a pleasant call last
Thursday from Mr.. II. B. Bond
an old Confederate Veteran OF
this State, but who has since been
residing in Mexico and other
countries. Mr.. Bond served un-
der General Mouton and Dick
Taylor. He camped here with his
regiment and remembers a num-
Der of our old citizens who have
long since passed to other shores
and gave us a vivid description
of several skirmishes that took
place hereabouts. Mr.. Bond has
engaged in general repair work
here and we hope will receive
cordial treatment from our peO'
pie.
New Iberia will soon be the
proud possessor of a small cigar
factory which will be started by
Mr.. Bert G. Hall, who arrived
here with his family this week
from Punta Gorda, Florida
New Iberia had been recommend.
ed to him by a former Iberian, as
the logical point in this State for
an establishment of that nature
and we hope he will receive the
proper encouragement from our
business men as soon as he puts
his goods upon the market. The
gentleman has had number OF
years experience in the making
Of cigars and if all of his brands
are as good as a sample present
ed to us, we can see no reason
why smokers Of the weed should
not give his cigars the preference.
Mr.. Hall will increase the output
"a fast as he will have demand
for his articles and it will be a
big advertisement for New Iberia,
when his line is put upon the
market and besides give employ.
ment to expert help in the manu-.
facture of cigars. Small indus
tries is what New Iberia desires
at the present time and strangers
who come here should be en-
couraged in their efforts towards
planting industries here. He has
taken up his residence with his
little family on lower Main
Street.
