WILL BE A SOCIETY EVENT.
PRODUCTION OF "PUSS IN
BOOTS BY ROSE HILL
CEMETERY ASSN.
Two Hundred and Fifty People
Will Be Seen in This Beauti-
ful Extrav,lganz at Elks
Theatre.

The society event Of the season
will occur on Monday, November
23d when the famous play, "Puss
in Boots" will be presented. The
ladies have secured this beautiful!
play at an enormous expense, and
it is to be hoped the general pub
lie will give generous support.
Thirty thousand roses and 600
electric lights are used, with a
full-Aedged pipe organ, designed
and made especially for this pre-
duction, will be seen and heard
in the great church scene. There
are dogs, cats and a troupe OF
real trained doves. The costumes,
ssenic effects and music will sur
pass anything ever attempted by
amateurs before. 1t ends with a
large electrical storm.
The play has been before the
public for Is years and has met
with the highest approval from
the press, clergy, governors and
schools as one of the prettiest,
cleanest and most beautiful pro-
du,ctions before the American
public.

INDIVIDUALITY.

All things equal. the difference
6e+ween scccess and failure is the
II dividua..
One nal tails in work where
another lcrt eds VIII. the same
work and u der the same cOndl-
tons.
One farmer takes fifty acres OF
land and prosperity attends has
efforts. while his neig hbor right
across the fence with the same
land, same drainage, same sun
shine and rain tOtters down the
road with the stamp OF failure
upon him. The reason and answer
is given by one wOrd-lndlv1d-
uality.
In the struggle for existence.
in the struggle for the survival
of the fittest, in the actual test OF
life and the real test of value, the
individual is the last and SUI
preme test.
When brain is pitched against
brain and Drawn against Drawn
the individual must tell his own
story and tell it in his own way,
and when the race of life Is run
and the last call Of the buggle has
sounded the individual and the
individual alone must answer and
his answer is given by the things
accomplished and the deeds per
formed.
In such d test diplomas and de-
grees are unknown quantities
whence one comes weighs not for
nor again world looks to
the individual for merit, the
things accomplished and the
deeds done, for the man who
"carries the Message to Garcia.
The community is made up o.
individuals and as no chain IS
stronger than its weakest link,
so is community no stronger
than it's weakest members.
The Successful individual I'M
derstands that the surest way to
succeed is to rely only on his own
individual effort for his own III
dividual success and his own III
dividual success is the success OF
the community in which he lives.
He assumes squarely the resFonsl-
bility of success or failure and
depends on naught else, for when
all is said and done, in the last
analysis of this the individual
must tell his own story and tell 1t
in his own way.

GOOD DRINKING WATER
NOW ASSURED.

II will be remembered lmme-
diately after the induction into Of
flee of the present Commissioners
they promised the taxpayers and
users of water that one of the
first steps towards improvements
would be to evolve a plan by
which all of the residents of New
Iberia that wished it would he
given good wholesome drinking
water in place of the dirty con-
taminated water that now flows
through the water mains through
ont the City. We are pleased to
state to our readers that this
week contract was agreed upon
to have built and completed with
In the next four months filters
and basins to purify al of the
water that is pumped through
the mains the water being drawn
from the two bic wells sunk sew
eral years ago by one of the
former administrations. From
what We are Informed the outfit
complete viii cost approximately
81. 500 the firm of Roberts FIJI
ter Company Of Darby, Pa. be-
ING given the big contract. This
is the same firm that erected tn"
plant at New orleans several
years ago and later another .
Morgan City.
The people of New fDeria have
been clamoring for good drinking
water for many years and at last
it looks as though their dreams
will be realized. Almost every
summer bundl eds of the poorer
class of people whose homes are
supplied with small cisterns are
compelled to drink and use for
cooking the contaminated water
from the Teche and how we es.
capped an epidemic of Typhoid
fever is hard to comprehend.
This improvement will be a God
send to many and at the same
time be the means of increasing
the revenues of the Electric Light
E. Water Plant as hundreds who
have no water connections now
Will b. glad to put them in.

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.

Those of our readers who are
more than one year in arrears
for The Enterprise should favor
us with a remittance as early as
possible. We have repeatedly
called the attention of our sub
scribers to the new Postal regu-
lotiors which put Us in default
should we not strike their names
III list. This being the
case it behooves all who know
that they are indebted to us to
send in the cash at their earliest
convenience. Aside from that the
heavy expenses necessary in the
conduct of our business make II
imperitive that all subscribers
pay up without further notice on
our part.

NArAToR1uM.

It is with pleasure that we
chronicle the movement that Is
now on foot by the Ladies of the
Civic League to build first-class
Natatorium or Swimming Pool III
New Iberia that would be credit
to the good people Of this City.
All up-to-date cities like for In
stance Lake Charles Monroe,
Alexandra have Natatorium,
where not only the children but
the grown-ups can enjoy bathing
in good clean water where there
is no danger from drowning. As
it is here hundreds Of our boys
venture into the Teche at all
hours of the day for this recrea-
ton, not only subjecting them
selves to Typhoid fever, but TAX
ing the risk of losing their lives
Almost daily the papers report
some child drowned in some ea-
you or river, but this does not
deter others from going into the
water at a great risk to them
selves. Many of the parents
here dread to see the summer
months because it is almost i'm
possible. to keep their children
out of the Bayou. A Natatorium
would not only avoid all of this
anxiety, but on the contrary ev-
erv mother would encourage the
children to use it, especially be-
cause Of the fact that there be no
danger Of drowning. Swimming
is good healthful exercise and
q pool should be provided, built
along scientific lines with plenty
Of good fresh water flowing in il
at all times of the day making il
attractive for everybody. Ger
tain days in the week could be
set aside for the women and little
girls and all of them learn the
art of swimming. There could
Be a small admittance of DC to
hep pay for the janitor which
would be necessary and one day
in the week the pool could be
absolutely free for those children
who could not afford to pay the
price. This is q movement that
should meet the hearty co-opera-
ton Of all our citizens and as will
be noted in the Civic League
notes appearing in another co..
umn there will be a public meet
ing held at the Court Horse next
Friday evening at 7:3O o'clock
when every business man and
mother should be present.

A DEPARTED FRIEND.

Death Is a great purifier; like
the scythe great leveller The
disappearance Of class; of power,
position and glory belongs to the
virtue of the grave. The vast
pess of eternity, the infinite of the
hereafter swallows the running
stream Of humanity, gathers the
floating cargo of fitting souls.
The human race. the connecting
link of the living and the dead,
bridging a cnasm between the
life Of the dying human clay and
that of It's eternal spirit, is the
GREAT mystery of the master in
telligence and creative force.
The ebb and flow of the human
ocean cast the shadows of birth
and death, Of growth and decay.
Much dies in sOmbre, mournfri
colors; more lives in lnspirln"
light; all of soul and spirit az
auire the Immortality Of hope and
soul of love dance in the sun $
faith. The spirit of friendship, the
brightest rays only to disappear
into the darkness Of the last NOR
tai habitatiOn, but it's impressions
become scared deep in man $ mem
Dry.
Our friend, Frank J. Mesta, er,
IS one of those hard to forget and
with whose virtues, those who
knew him best, will deal gently
and mercifullv. His char at the
accustomed round table confer
ence is empty; his place is mark
ed the shade of his personality,
the spectre of his habits still nov
cr over the place. The kindness
of his heart made lasting i'm
press. The burning flame OF love
of mother still illumines the hid
den strength, the moral depth OF
his manhood. The intense at
Idcn11eUl W lOlIc anu i'iidi ~.
atty to his old loving mother are
attributes of the saint, symbols OF
nature divine. These achieve
rnents in a world of sneers aud
)eers, are the crowns that rule
,he empire of humanity's fraterr-
alism.
No conqueror ever carried
more precious trophy with more
modesty and delight; no ruler
ever welded a more priceless
sceptre.
Nan may disappear into inc
shadows of the past; man may be
cast out from memory and the
weller Of ever struggling life,
but the deeds; the certificate OF
soul and conscience, erect them
selves monument, milestone TO
him whose reward is the beckOn-
ing mothers smile; the lmger $
ing mothers kiss, the tear-stained
mothers farewell. -

CIVIC LEAGUE NOTES..

The regular semi-monthly
meeting of the Civic League. took
place on Monday last at Hotel
Frederic. The topics discussed. by
the members were the projected
Natatorium for the boys OF our
City and the duty of the citizens,
especially the merchants and
housekeepers to advance the sale
of all home grown and home man
ufactured articles. The League
wishes to place itself on record
as being purchasers of anything
produced by orr own people and
as Offering al encouragement to
the infant industries in our midst
that these industries may grad
ually increase in growth and thus
rebound to the business import
ance of New Iberia. 3.
The plan commences with the
housekeeper who must make it
a duty to demand of her retail
n ocer any canned or bottled
goods or the product of any man
nfactorv of our vicinity. If her
grocer cannot supply these, then
the patronage should be trans
ferred to the merchant who lcan
do SO. The plans for the pro-
posed Natatorium are still Only
of the vaguest, but the League is
determined to make try for this
very desirable project and as a
first step will seek the advice and

DESPONDENCY DUE TO IN
DIGESTION.

It is not at all surprising that
persons who have indigestion be-
come discouraged and despond-
ent. Here are a few words of
hope and cheer for them by Mrs.
Blanche Bowers, Indiana, Pa.
"For years my digestion was so
poor that could only eat the
lightest foods. l tried every
thing that heard of to get relief
but not until about year ago
when l saw Chamberlain s Tab
let's advertised and got b,ttis
of them, did find the right treat
ment. soon began to improve,
and since taking a few bottle Of
them my digestion is fne." For

Friday evening the day set
apart for good time proved, that
tho the very heavens may seem
against human efforts, when there
is sunshine in the heart-no cloud
no rain-no storm can dim the
lrstre. Much fun and merriment
was enjoyed, as one by one, filed
the friends of the Convent, hold
ing big umbrellas, Drawing a
downpour of two days duration
they looked much like school
girls vending their way to the
school rooms. There was laugh
ter-there were innocent Jests.
And 5..,- ..-
However drear the day did seem
They did not repine,
But thankful when life's sun is
As when it shines
They know however winds the
oath
The thankful heart all blessing
hath.
The seniors had decorated st.
Berchman Hall in white and
gold bunting. Dropping white
and yellow chrysanthemums
adorned the electric bulbs, ferns
and flowers. everywhere and

Several games were played after
