for the important office and Mr..

fitted to fill the position at thus
particular time. The gentleman

scientific farmer Of wide expen.
cnce and this coupled with his
business experience should make
him a good officer. He is to as
sumo his duties Just as soon as he
can remove with his family to
this City and it is hoped the
Board has made no mistake in Sc
lecting him. New Iberia needs
ID man with push, energy and
initiative. who will not only IL
duce our farmers to diversity, but
who will find markets for our
products once they are ready &c
be harvested. Numerous other
things came up before the Board
the same evening which is Of vital
importance to this Parish one of
which is the mass meeting to be
held here on August 25th to take
up the matter of tick eradication
and formulate plans to rid tx
Parish Of whatever infectious dis
eases live stock is heir too. On
this occasion Prof. RaWls Of the
Federal Bureau Of Animal Indus
try and Prof. Dodson of the
State Department will address
the meeting. 1t is imperative
that we bestir ourselves at once
II we hope to see the EXpelI-

ish. 1t cannot and will not be-
done unless the Federal author
tiles see an active campaign made
for the eradication Of the cattle

Another effort was made
during the past ten days to get
sufficient advertising for the
launching Of a daily paper to be
published in this City, but owing
to the little encouragement given
the promoters we understand
the proposition has fallen through
once more. While we are some
what sorry the scheme to give
New Iberia daily has fallen
through, still in the long run it
is much better for us to do with
cut a daily if it is to be in eX-
istence only few months and
then left to die for want Of pa
tronage Every time a daily has
been launched here and then shut
down for want of support our lit
tie City has received black eye
and property has been depreciat-
ed as a consequence. 1t is ia"
better to await until there is more
prosperity hereabouts when our
business men can better afford 20
take advertising SPACE that will
make a daily self-sustaining.
Had the Daily Leader been ac
corded the support that was due
it at the time we were bending
every effort to make it a success,
the publisher would have been
contented to continue it. When
we are assured that sufficient pat
ronage can be obtained from our
business men to justify the enter
prise we assure the people of
New iberia that they will be
given another live daily.

paying the best market prices for
the cereal. 1t is probable corn
