Wednesday morning that might !
make Of him a cripple for life. 1t /
seems Mr.. Jacob went to the City
Market to get cup of coffee and
! for some reason or other was back
of the counter where the bev-
erage is served, and when in the
act of coming from behind the
counter, his revolver was damned
against the corner of the counter
and fell to the floor, causing an
explosion, the bullet penetrated
the left foot just above the
ankle and went clean through the
bone. He was Immediately TAX
Ell to a physicians office and then
escorted home where he now ling
ers from the effects of the wound.
! Mr.. Jacob had not been serving
as a night officer more than
month before this accident oc-
Cured IT is the wish of his
friends that he will soon be IN po-
sition to resume his duties.
No. 666 will cure Chills and Few
err. It is the most speedy remedy
we know.
Several times recently we
have had the pleasure of meeting
residents of Weeks Island who
come to New Iberia to do shop
mo with our merchants. In con-
versation with visitor here on
Wednesday he stated that he had
came up the New Iberia CONNER
cial Canal by boat to the bridge,
a distance Of five miles and from
there he had to be driven into the
City which made it very incon-
, venient to do trading here. All
of the business. Of the Island
could be secured by our mer-
merchants if this canal were
? finished up to the basin which was
intended at the time the tax was
: voted. The finishing Of this canal
: would bring thousands of dollars
2 annually to New Iberia from the
Gulf Coast if the mistake had not
t been made in not completing it as
: it should have been. From what
we learn there are several thou
v sand dollars in the treasury OF
!. the New Iberia Canal Board
e which together with small adj
ditional tax would finish this i'm
f portant unfinished commercial
e canal to the basin. 1t behooves
j. the Board Of Trustees to give
Y some little attention to this mat
s ter as we believe the sentiment is
D very pronounced for it's compile
