Died. at the residence Of hel

Friday, Feb. 4th, 1916, Mrs
Ovignac Broussarl. Deceased
had been in a critical condition
for many days before her death
and her demise was not uneN-
pectcd. The remains were trans
ferred to Loreauville for inter
ment after the services had been
performed by Rev. Langlois Of
Peters Catholich church.
-On Monday afternoon we ac-
companied Messrs. W. l.. Bau-
man, Jules Dreyfus, Henry L..
Smith, Lawrence +. Villermin
and Dr.. w. f. Carstens in an
auto ride to the Petite Anse sec
ton Of the Parish to inspect some
road work that is being done
under the supery islOn of the l'o-
lice jury. Upon reaching the
mercantile store Of Mr.. l.. l.. Min
vielle we found RI some splendid
bitches being cut to the bridge
spanning Bayou Petite Anse,
which israbout two and one
half miles. The model dirt road is
fully twice as wide as it was
formerly at that point, and once
the grading is finished as the
farmers in that vicinity agreed
to do. this road will be equal to
that recently built along the
route to the Avery Salt Island.
From what we learn, as soon as
this route is completed the ditch
ing machine will again com
mence at the Cstore Of Mr.. Min
vielle and cut drains on both sides
OF the road leading to Del
cambre, a distance approximate
w OF three and one-half miles.
We also took a ride over the
partly finished 'embankment
road which traverses part of
the Commercial Canal and can
truthfully state that it is as good
as any model dirt road in the
State, barring none. The plans
Of the members Of the Police Jury
in Strengthening out the roads
through the Parish is an excel
lent one from many points of
view, as it also shortens many
routes several miles. Good roads
mean better drainage for our
farmers as well as easy modes of
travel and better business for the
merchants in New Iberia and does
more towards the upbuildiny of
a section than railroads for which
we often vote heavy bonuses in
order to get them. 1t would also
be splendid investment for our
people if the entire embankment
along the Commercial Canal was
graded to the extreme limits of
the Canal.
Since Sunday night last there
nave been two burglaries Of bus
ness houses in New Iberia which |
rom all indications look like the
work of young boys. On Sum
lay night the dry goods store Of
'lr. Assad Ellais was entered and
;everal articles taken from his
helves. On Tuesday night the
,rocery store OF Mr.. Harry VIM
ers was opened and the cash reg
ster robbed of about five dollars.
hree of which was in copper
ents. From there they went
nto his warerooms and opened
our cans of jelly, after which
hev made their escape, carry
ng with them several packages
f chewing gum and lot Of Gig
rettes. On Thursday. sometime
round midnight the large glass
'indow of Taylor Bros. drug
tore which faces French street
as broken and a latch turned
18th the intent of making a suffi- J
lent size entrance to get into the =
uilding. In this they were
oiled as a strong burglar latch !,
reverted the thieves from rails
le the sash more than four i.
