Mrs. Kingsley Swan has found that
seeking divorce in Reno, after the
delights of New York city, is not SO
diverting an undertaking as she ex-
pected. She found Reno was horribly
dull. There was tango, of course. There
was everything you might see any
where else in the world, but on min
iature scale. So she had to go away
from there for period and she sought
solace in what the inhabitants used to
denominate the paris of the Vest
San Francisco. She and a friend hiked
off to the Pacific coast and put up at
the st. Francis hotel, where their tan
go efforts won publicity, as much pub
licity as they wished. Then they went
back to Reno to wait the tedious
months necessary to acquire the resi-
dence there for court proceedings.

The State of Louisiana and

Eight with the object of taking
a trip over the Parish for the pur-
pose Of studying our agricultural
conditions and incidentally to
gather such crop statistics that
they might henceforth be in po-
sition to publish facts about the
soil and climatic conditions OF
Louisiana or refute the oft re-

TUESDAYS ELECTION.

Next Tuesday is the date set
by the Parish Democratic Com
mittee for the selection by pri-
mary of a Democratic candidate
for the Office of City Judge OF
the Sixth Ward Of the Parish
with seven active candidates In
the running as a successor to the
late Judge John R. Davis. There
being so many aspirants in the
field it is impossible to prophe-
size just what two will be in the
second primary. The campaign
being made, is what is generally
known as a gum shoe one, not a
single aspirant offering a plat
form to the public, each one
simply standing on his own mer-
its as a citizen and his ability to
fill the position. 1t is probable
that there will not be more than
seven hundred votes cast in the
primary. We are glad to see
such a friendly feeling between
the gentlemen who are offering
themselves for the honor and sim
cerely trust the second primary
between the highest two will be
conducted on the same high plane.
Those in the contest are: Messrs.
A. G.. Barrow, Robert S. Bell,
Jules E. Dupuy. L. Tasker Du-
lany, Leopold DeBlanc, Romauld
Mienes and Sam O. NuckoNs.

CORPORATION WINS extern
SION SUIT.

In the suit entitled the Police
Jury versus the City of New he.
ria opposing the extension of the
Corporate limits to the Liette
! meyer line on lower Main Street
a decision was handed down by
Judge O'Neil of the Supreme
Court last Monday giving the
City Commissioners rights in the
premises insofar as the 1913 and
1914 collection of taxes are con-
cerned. 1t will be remembered OPP
position was filed enjoining the
City Of New Iberia from collect
ing these taxes and the mattel
remained statu quo awaiting this
decision. While all of this prop
erty along the Parish Model
Road is now subject to City taxes
instead of State, the property
holders are not subject to any of
the special taxes that bear on
other property within the old
limits. The defense urged that
the Parish had constructed a
model highway from New Iberia
to Jeanerette and had set aside a
portion of It's annual revenue to
pay the bonds which had been is
sued to pay for the highway. The
extension of the limits takes a
mile of the model road into the
CITY of New iberia and incorpo-
rates that extent of property
which has heretofore contributed
its proportion of taxes to pay
the costs incurred. This ease was
won by the City Of New Iberia
in the District Court, recognizing
the corporate limits of New he |
ria to embrace the disputed ter
ritory as extended by the ordi-
nance of June 18th, 1913. The !

'ented by City Attorney L. O.
