Work on the handsome two
story building Of Mr.. Eugene
Guillot, situated on Iberia Street |
is progressing as rapidly as could |
be expected and the masons have
almost completed one of the walls
of the second floor, with prospect
Of completing the building in
ample time for the big Knights
of Columbus convention. Mr.. I
deserves the commenda-
ton of the community for his en-
terprise and thrift which gives
New Ibtria an excellent public hall

the City Hall has been converted
into offices.
According to the press Of
Shreveport, our young friend
Mr.. Ernest j. Carstens is taking
quite a prominent part in civic
affairs in that thriving city. Mr..
Carstens is member Of the

houses and has been identified
with every public movement that
was calculated to be for his
adopted homes benefit since his
residence there. Among a COM
mittee of fifteen citizens appoint
ed by Mayor Eastman to discuss
charter changes and plans for Sc
curing added revenue, we notice
his name among the number,
which is certainly complimentary
to him, especially where there are
so many active citizens.
