Lawrence F. Villermin and his assist
| ants have made greatd cal of Roadway
| with work undertaken by them in re-
newing the poles and wires along the
Main thoroughfare of this City. The
| work is not only being done at nominal
cost to the City, but in manner that
| is a credit to his department This Is,
| as near as we can recollect the first
| piece of important improvement to be
| constructed here without calling for
| outside assistance at an extra expense.
| Once the old poles are removed from
the Street where they were not only an
| impediment to traffic, but an eyesore,
| our Main Street will be more pleasing
| to the eye.

While a great number of our citi-
zens lamented over the severing of the
New Iberia and Northern Railroad which
operates between Port Barre and Shady
side from the Frisco Railroad some
months since, it is gratifying to US TO
report to our readers that in several
respects it will be beneficial to New
Iberia, as this City henceforth will be the
headquarters for the New Iberia and
Northern and not Houston, Texas as
heretofore and all matters pertaining
to the traffic department will now be
handled here in New Iberia. Mr.. Bryan
Snyder, a gentleman of wide experience
in railroad matters who succeeded Mr..
S. S. Butler whose offices were IN
Houston, Texas, removed here this
week to take up his permanent residence
to the delight of all who have had the
pleasure of meeting him.

The attention of our farmers and
those who own a number OF milchlng
COWS is called to the Importance OF sup
Giving the New iberia Creamery with
their butter fat which will ultimately
mean so much to the farming and dairy
interests of this section. This institu-
ton was financed by number of gen.
tlemen interested in the welfare of the
farmer, not for the purpose of making
one dollar of profit for themselves, gut
mainly to help develop the dairy bust
ness in the Teche country, which has
been in need of something of this kind
| for many years. The management has
since its formation, created market for
all of the products of their Plant and
| it now behooves those interested to sup
ply the necessary raw material. It is
we'll known that Creameries will do more
for general stock raising in commun-
ity than most any other enterprise within
the reach of the masses and it behooves
those who have grazing lands to encour-
age the industry by purchasing cows and
selling their butter fat to the Creamery.

1T was our pleasure some time since
to chronicle the establishment in the
Petite Anse section of this Parish of a
Cannery by Messrs. Prick Bros, two ac-
tive and energetic young gentlemen.
We are more than pleased to mention
the encouragement that is being given
them by the residents in that vicinity.
Last Saturday they were in receipt of
one whole carload of empty cans which
will be used in preserving the products
OF that immediate neighborhood at a
great profit to tho agriculturists. It
was undoubtedly an unusual sight to see
five wagon loads of these cans pass
through the streets of the City en- route
to their little factory, situated in the
Seventh Ward. It should be remem-
bered and impressed upon the minds Of
cur citizens that these little industries
are the only salvation for our country
under the present conditions and it is
our duty, not only to encourage them
by furnishing the raw material to keep
them operating continuously the year
round but after their products are on
the market they should be consumed by
our citizens. This applies to anything
produced at home and unless we back
! up our infant industries by encouraging
them they will not be with us very long.
Let US all join together in an effort 20
educate our people to give home products
the preference whenever it is possible
to do so. As stated several times re-
Gently, our Creamery, another new in
dustry for this Parish is now turning out
an article of butter that cannot be sur
passed and the consumers in New Ibe-
ria should make it their business to de-
mand i. of the merchants and every can
