TWO SAD DEATHS.
The residents Of New Iberi

The residents Of New Iberia
were terribly shocked when the
sad news was wired here of the
tragic deaths at Port Arthur,
Texas On Tuesday morning of
Mrs. Z. M. Bonnette. wife of the
late A. F. Bonnette who died on
April 23d. 1911 and Mrs. Bon
nette's mother, Mrs. NJ. j. Mat,
thews. a native of Louisville, KY,
aged 80 years. 1t was only
month since that these two est
mable ladies removed to Port
Arthur to reside with Mr.. Law
renee BOnnette, young son who
is employed there. 1t seems Mrs
Bonnette was kindling a fire in
the kitchen of their new home
and thinking that she could APP
ply few drops Of coal oil to pro-
duce a quick ignition undertook
to do so with gasoline that had
been sold them bv mistake and an
explosion took place killing both
before help could arrive. Mrs.
Bonnette lived only long enough
to explain the terrible accident. |
The Bonnette family came to New |
Iberia from Iberville Parish about
fifteen years ago and were en-
deared to this community. The
of both mother and
daughter arrived in New Iberia
last Wednesday night, the fun
eral services being conducted by
Rev. Diggs on Thurnday after
noon at 8 o'clock. Among the
IONS living to mourn the death of
heir relatives are Messrs. Bonito.

BACK LICENSES.

The imposition Of special i
censes effecting the business PEG.
pie of This State in all walks of
life from boot black to whole
sale dealer has almost reached the
point that it is in many instances
improbable to engage IN business
any longer. For the past two
weeks, Mr.. Robert Collins. as
sistant to the State Supervisor of
accounts has been busy III the
Sheriff s office securing names Of
professional and business men
who were amenable to this legis-
lation. wherein back licenses ex-
tending into the past State ad-
ministration had to be paid with
penalties attached. On Wednes-
day morning Mr.. Collins. &C.
compa1ried by his local attorney,
MIR. Dulany, appeared before the
!. City Court to institute suits
against all who had not paid their
licenses four years back with costs
of Court attached. Almost ev-
cry business man in New Iberia
was caught in the drag net and
the licenses range from Ten Dol
lars to Four and even Five Hun
dled. 1t is more than probable
by the time every one has paid
this Special license the amount
exacted from our people will ap-
proximate twelve or fifteen thou
sand dollarA We're conditions
different in this section our peo-
pie would not take the matter SO
hard, but to be mulcted at this
particular time when the people
are 50 hard pressed looks like an
imposition even tho it be the
law. The manner in which the
State authorities have proceeded
to collect these back licenses are
such that the remainder Of the
State will not be called upon to
pay the 1911 licenses, which our
citizens are made to pay. We
concede that the business men
Of Monroe faired the same fate ,
Of New iberia, but that does not
make. it right and just, if no 9th I
er community il made pay the
four years. By the time the
auditor gets over the entire I
State which will take fouv years
many will not pay one cent. The
system Of collecting taxes and /
licenses certainly need re- ADJUST ,
inv. In the fffst place tnere il |
entirely too many taxes placed !
upon the people. Licenses should
be paid only to the municipalities
wherein business is conducted. J
The State should be satisfied with
It's proportion Of taxes which Z
would be ample were economy
prscticed when the Legislatures
convene. There are entirely too q
many offices in the first place and '
many Of the officials are overpaid, I
while few get but a hare living.
Starting from. the House Of Rep ?
down the line to G
State officials it is time for a re-
action to set in all down the line. ?

THE RURAL CHURCH TO BE DIS
CUSSED AT THE MAC.

A diagnosis of the ills of the coun-
try church will be attempted at the
Michigan Agricultural College July )
to Is by a conference of country pas
tors leaders in rural sociology and
students of rural sociological prob
lens. The conference will, in addi-
ton, serve as a school for leadership
in rural communities, which persons
desiring an insight into the problems
Of country life and communities will
be at liberty to attend. But the big
work of the conference will be that of
Ianalyzing he troubles of the country
church. "a recent writer in the Out
lock got at the nub of this trouble"
declared Prof +. II. Ryder, who is di-
recting plans for the conference and
the NJ. A. G. summer school, when he
said that "there is no stronger sign Of
the prevailing weakness of the coun-
try church than its failure to hold the
young people" The purpose of the
conference and School for Leadership
will be two-fold. The college hopes
to furnish a fund of knowledge along
definite lines pertaining to rural af-
fairs and then, in connection with this
instruction, to consider the problem
peculiar to rural society which are de-
handing attention today. Authori-
ties at the college expect to make the
conference a clearing house" where
ideas may be freely interchanged. The
demands of rural society analysed and
efficient means of satisfying these
needs thoroughly considered. In fur
therance of these aims, the college will

can hear him. The Maurer Sisters,
now in their tenth year on the Chau-
tauqua platform, will furnish the mu-
sic for this day and evening. The in

cornet, flute, violin, cello and piano.

A FEW TRUTHS

He who hesitates is won-says the
leap year grl who has just proposed.
A girl who gets to be an old maid
has little faith in the efficiency of
prayer.
A girl can quickly change her IDEAS
of an eligible man to fit the one she
can get.
The person who decides all ques-
tons from his own viewpoint is not a
fair judge.
A man who can't make a name for
himself is quite often satisfied to give
one to a woman.
When it is said that woman car
ries her age well it is meant that she
carries it where no one will ever find
it.
Lots of bighearted people don't let
their sympathy go below the waist
line-and carry their money in their
pants pocket.

The married man who goes away
from home to hunt trouble would walk
along street lined with gold pieces
and never see them.
Belonging to one political party or
another must be largely a matter of
habit-otherwise how could there be
anyone in the parties opposed to ours?

The third announcement is that the
last obstacle in the way Of the mined
late manufacture of the tractor, has
been removed. 1t lay in the rear axle.
The original tractor axle was practi-
cal, but not enough for Mr.. Ford. He
told, Monday, how he devised new
one. He was motoring back to De-
troit from Harbor Beach with his son
at the wheel.
"Stop a minute, said father to son.

Ford started thinking. Not a word
was said. At the end of 40 minutes

"Drive ahead. I've got it,"

satisfaction. The new axles are even
now on the Ford tractors at Dearborn.
