THE GYPSY CAMP.

More definite information re-
garding the mysterious Gypsies
and their camp is gradually leak
ing out. It is definitely settled
that they will without fail be here
on Friday, August 9th, and will
set their camp in the old Alma
House property. There is to be
several numbers Of refined vaude-
vile, rendered by numbers of our
best talent, and the palate will be
tempted by delicious viands.
Small charges will be made for
the purpose Of raising funds for
the Presbyterian Ladies Aid So
ciety. This entertainment has
been selected and each number
will be a surprise. There has
never been anything like it given
in this City, and it is well worth
your attention. Prof. Sheldon s
Orchestra will make its appear
ance to render sweet music.
Don't forget the time. August
9th, from 6 to 10 P. NJ. at the old
Alma House.
1t does not cost you anything to
get in, but after you are in you
can patronize the Gypsies.

itself and considering the quality
of the stock raised by Mr.. Me
Call his exhibit is bound to be of
great interest as well as of value
to all persons attending the Fair.
This is one of the many who
will have exhibits at the Fair and
it 'behOoves our people to get busy
and have exhibits that will do
credit to the Parish and give be
ria a prominent place among the
exhibitors. There is a great many
good things that Iberia can
show and show with great chan
ces of winning, but our people
must not be timid about bringing
out what they have. This Fair is
place to learn, so whatever you
have of merit or quality bring it
along and even if you do not win
a ribbon you will have the oppOr-
tunity of learning in a better
manner what constitutes good
livestock, good poultry, good
agricultural products. 1t would
be a good idea for all persons in
Iberia having something to ex-
hibit to write the Secretary at
once for application entry blanks
and make known early the fact
that they will have exhibits and
to what extent so that space can
be allotted early and provisions
made for good stalls. We sug-
yest that this be done without de-
ay and of course work on pre-
pairing the exhibits should be
lone right away. Let. us remem-
Ter that there will be large ex-
libits and from many parishes
md that Iberia should have one
#. the largest if not the largest
'xhibit on hand for the simple
eason that the Fair is being held
n iberia and it is more convenient
or our people to show that it is
or those from distant parishes.

TECEE FAIR NOTES.

Great interest is being taken in
the Fair to be held here next
month not only here in iberia
Parish, but reports are coming in
from other parishes indicating
the amount of interest taken in
other parishes, live stock breed
ers and agriculturist notifying
the Fair authorities that they
will be on hand to show their
stock and products.
For instance, Mr.. Mccall Of the
Mccall Farms in Ascension Par
ish has written the Secretary Of
the Fair Association that he will
be here Sept. "a, % and Goth with
nineteen large thoroughbred
Duroc Jersey hogs, one thorough
bred Shorthorn Bull, 4 thorough
bred Calves and 13 coops Of chick
ems and asking for reservation.
This will be a good size show in

CATTLE DIPPING.

We had occasion this week to
make inquiries concerning the
dipping of cattle in Iberia Parish.
and were surprised as well as
gratified to learn Of the extent to
which this important sanitary
measure is being carried out I'M
der the supervision of DR.. Theo.
Brand, resident Inspector of the
Department Of Animal Industry,
assisted by local inspectors, R. F.
Hogsett, Rene Girard and Joseph
Gajan, a systematic campaign is
being conducted which will COM
pletely eradicate the cattle tick
from iberia Parish in another
year. There are now in use in
this Parish twenty-one dipping
watts, eleven of which were con-
structed by the Parish and by it
conducted free of cost to the
owners Of cattle, the other ten be-
long to private individuals, sew
eral Of whom have extended their
use to neighbors. Since April
LIST when the first dipping was
done, over nineteen thousand
head of live stock have been
through the watts at regular in
tervals of 81 days, and strict
quarantine has been maintained
to prevent the introduction of
tick infested stock from outside
sources. On the arrival within
the Parish Of any animal, it is OBJ
ligatory to keep it confined in a !
designated place until such time
as it can be properly inspected |
and released by the Inspector in |
charge. These methods assure us |
Of the early eradication of the tick
and will enable us to ship to all |
open markets, which means that
our cattle, properly certified and
healthy will bring the highest
market prices wherever sold. The
cattle industry is fast assuming
rank as an asset of this section
and it is to be hoped that all
will lend their hearty assistance
70 the officials in charge and by
cooperation expediate the con-
summation of the results saught
20 be attained.

Mr.. E. A. McIlhenny, who has
been active in relief work and
whose splendid boat has been in
service since the incipiency of
the storm. telephoned the family
that all was well with the Doctor
and his children.
As before stated. there has been
practically no property loss in
Iberia Parish nor a human life
sacrificed byFthis severest of all
remembered storms, for which we
bow in humble thanksgiving to an
Almighty Providence who has pro
tected us with inland bays which
guard us against the ravages of
storms and will, in time, make of
us an inland port where vessels
will come through canals and find
a safe harbor at all times.

THE NEXT ELECTION.

We publish today a notice OF
the Board of Election Supervisors
prOclaiming the election to be
held on the 31st day of this month
for the election of a District At
torney and two delegates to rep
resent Iberia Parish in the Con
stitutiOnal Convention soon to
convene in New Orleans.
For the former position, none
but Mr.. %. S. BrOussard has Of
fered, and the District is assured
Of the election of a competent and
conscientious officer, whose past
services in the same position be-
speak the successful administfa-
ton of this most important office.
The election of representatives
to the Convention, however, is
not so easily disposed of. With
out emoluments, and offering
naught but the privilege Of serv-
ing the people of their State,
three of Iberia s most distinguish
ed citizens seek the honor of the
election. The Hon. L. o. Hacker,
dean of the local bar, the Hon.
Henry N. Pharr, one Of the most
prominent sugar planter Of the
State, and the Hon. Porteus R.
Burke, recognized as leader in
the legal profession.
Between Judge Hacker and
Mr.. Pharr, we have no preference,
either would do honor to the Par
ish and safeguard it's interest.
The election of Mr.. Burke how
ever, we consider of paramount
Importance. The drafting Of a
Constitution for great State,
requires the thoughts and lalbors
of big men. Men Of intellect, of
education and of stamina. Men
who are acquainted with public
affairs and who know the wants
of the people, men who would
serve their State, not with the
view of personal advancement,
but for the 'betterment of the
whole State. Such a man is Mr.. !
Burke. A native Of this commun-
ity, his entire life has been spent
us, and his every en-
deavor, since early manhood has
been for the benefit and the up
lift of his Parish and his State.
Keen to detect the wants of his
community active in seeking to
ill these wants and aggressive in
The prosecution Of his ends, Mr..
Burke has contributed much to
he material advance of Iberia
Parish. There is scarcely an en-
;erprise launched within the past
;wenty years but bears the stamp
IT his activities. Were cash de-
handed, his purse was rendered,

Because Of his qualities, because

We believe him pre-eminently the {
'est qualified amongst the candi- I
|ates, we are supporting Mr.. 6
'urke; and we indulge the hope '
hat the voters Of iberia will t
hare our view and elect him and c
hus do honor to worthy citizen $
nd reflect credit upon them t
