One thas. Harris. a young
white man from this City who
bore very bad reputation, II
fact was wanted for larceny, ran
into the mcSheS Of the law n
CaIcasicu Parish last Wednesday
which cost him eighteen months
in the Lenitcntiary. Harris had
bllrglarized n store at Sulphur,
and was caught with the goods
which eliminated in his pleading
guilty and getting the above
mentioned sentence, which should
do him good. The boy was OF a
criminal nature and went from
petty crime TO that which Will
cost him a tclm in prison.
Oil Indications at Lake
Pcigneur better known as jcffcr-
son s Lake are so pronounced
that a stock company has been
ORGANIZED and lease obtained
from the State to put down a test
well in that body of water. For
several years it has been general
~ known that indications Of OIL
in that vicinity were as good as
at any field where oil has been
found burt our citizens were TOO
timid TO make the Investment. 1t
affords us pleasure to state that
ere long iberia Parish will also be
an oil field Of no little pretcn-
siOns.

Our sanctum was the reclp-
lent Of copy Of the Pacific Mu-
tual News which is published
monthly at Los Angeles, Califor-
mia in the interests Of the field
men throughout the United
States. On the front page ap-
pears excellent photographs Of
Mr.. X. G.. Sealy and Mr.. W. B.
Sharp, their two special agents
who reside here and who have at
tanned distinction among their
agents, owing to the volume OF
business which they have written
in this section of the State. The
publication is interspersed with
beautiful Autographs of Louisiana
scenes, among them being our
own Main Street showing the
Eectric ears and Bayou Teche.
Both of these pictures had been
sent to headquarters by Mr..
Sealy who is q strong believer in
advertising this section Of the
State.
There being so many com
plants by the farmers and others
of their inability to hire labor
hereahouts, while hundreds OF
aEle-bodied men, both white and
black are walking the streets in
idleness with no visible means OF
support the City Commissioners
have passed sweeping ordinance
that will either drive the loafcrs
out Of the City limits or compel
them to hunt honest occupation.
Almost every year at this season
these same conditions arise
which very often mean a loss OF
crops in this Parish when the
CITY is full Of loafers and hang
ers on who seem to live without
work. This is step in the right
direction and we hope to see the
officers clean ont the gangs Of Wa
employed by compelling them to
do street work if they do not
want other occupation. Other
cities have been compelled to en-
force the same ordinances. Why
not New IberiaY
We had a pleasant call last
afternoon from Mr.. a.
A. Stillman of Lake Charles who
visited New iberia for the pur
pose of procuring exhibits from
the Parish to be placed on dis
play at the big Southwest Lo'llsi-
ana Agricultural and Manufac.
turing exhibit which will be held
at the above mentioned place on
Oct. 23d, oath and 25th. The
of the display show is
to place on exhibition products
of the thirteen Southwest Louisl-
ana parishes and liberal prizes
have been offered by the Lake
Charles merchants to the winners
IN the competition. Besides the
interest taken in that feature of
the program special efforts have
been made to arrange a good
program that should be
pleasing to all of the visitors.
The services of numerous bands
have been secured and together
with the military drills, racing
and other forms Of amusement
those who visit that hustling
City will be well rewarded for
their time. We hope the gentle
nan will srcceed in getting
good exhibit from this Parish
wen tho there is little truck at
his season Of the year. The Fair
will be opened by Governor Hall
and other prominent gentlemen
