Last Tuesday afternoon at
bout AIS an alarm was sent III
from Box As announcing fire III
that section Of the City. 1t
proved to be the crib situated on
the property of Mr.. Gordon A.
Sandoz, occupied by Mr.. d. l..
Ivy and family. Within five min
utes after the alarm was sent in
our noble Firemen had subdued
the flames which was kept con
fined to the crib without any
damage whatever to Mr.. Sandoz s
beautiful home. We understand
Mr.. Sandoz had no insurance on
the barn. Had the residence been
destroyed Mr.. Ivy's losses would
have been considerable as he ear
ried no insurance whatever upon
his furniture. New iberia can
boast Of one of the best fire sys
TENS in this State and our people
have no fear Of a general con-
fagration at any time.

distribution and consumption OF
cotton goods. with view to I'M
proving conditions that affect the
railroads. as well as the general
business public This notice we
intend as a request that you call
on the merchants in your vicinity
and suggest to them special sales
of cotton goods, the object OF the
sales being the disposing OF the
old stock. so that new supplies
may be obtained. 1t is possible
that this thought has already oc-
Cured to the merchants. In any

said at the freight office Of the
southern Pacific that the COM
pany would give every possible
assistance in the sales and do any
thing it can to help out in the

main line and the branches to
further the campaign.

that the special election for the
