The nuptials Of Mr.. Godleil
Frick of LOreauville and Miss
Helen Steckler. the accomplished
daughter of Mrs. Henry Stecklen
Of the Fourth Ward was solem-
nized on Thursday. August 10th
in the presence of a few Of the
COUPLES most intimate friends
The Enterprise extends its con
gratulations.
Place your farm with us if you
want to sell it at it's present
worth.-M. w. Fisher.
We had occasion on Thurs
day to visit the plant known as
the New iberia Corn Shelter, I'M
der the management of Mr.. A. J.
Suberbielle. We found several
carpenters and other employees
putting verything in readiness for
the commencement Of operations
which Mr.. Suberbielle says, will
be about August Goth. Upon in
quiry anent the crop conditions
and what is being offered for corn
at the present time. Mr.. Suber-
belle said he had an abundance of
it offered to him at $1.20 per bar
rel. but it was entirely too green
to shell at present and he was not
in the market for it yet. Unless
all signs fail corn will bring
a splendid price this season. the
fact that we have buyers right
here should be an advantage to
our farmers who have surplus
corn to sell. Last year the pro-
prietors of this mill bought sew
eral thousand barrels and the
farmers who sold to them get the
cash as fast as the corn is weighed
which is decidelv better than
to outside markets. Ev-
ervthing being equal. this little
industry should be given the pref
erence as it is far better to sell
here than take the chances of
shipping corn or other cereal for
that matter to people whom the
seller is not acquainted.

1t will be noticed in another
column that the Board of Trus-
tees passed an ordinance at it's
last meeting. imposing a penalty
on owners Of automobiles who
permit boys under sixteen years
Of age to manipulate their ma
chimes on the public highways of
New iberia in the future. There
g no doubt that this is a good
ordinance for the protection Of
.he life and limb Of pedestrians. |
While many young boys and girls
ire just a. well posted az some
# the older people on the work
i1gs Of an automobile, still the !
act that they do not post them
elves on the City Ordinances rel
tive to stopping their machines
vhen the Trolley ears stop, etc.,
vas cause for several citizens to
lie complaints. Right here we
gish also to mention that many
Z the men who operate cars in
Jew Iberia drive as carelessly as
e children and some Of them
ave no compunction about speed
lg in the City limits. especially
hen they know there is no off,
ers around. This class should
E severely dealt with before
,me child is probably run over
nd killed.
Now that the weather is I
our rice farmers have $
.gan harvesting in earnest here j
'outs and the cereal is beginning {
move at good prices. On Thurs h
~ about $1,000 sacks was sold y
the representatives of the t
;andard and Empire Milling +
which brought as Il
lch as $3.50 per sack and our e
rmers are pleased with the n
arket. even though there has g.
en- a slight decline. From G
lat information we have m
en- able to gather the prevail W
z opinion is that there is more z
an 100000 sacks in the Teche
rishes which is said to be the :
