AN OLD VETERAN.

On Tuesday, November 2Sth,
at the Broussard's Cedar Crest
! Farm there was a sorrowful shock
to the acquaintance of the Par
rot. "Jacko', the property of Mr..
Gustave Pesson which had be-
longed to his respected mother,
Mrs. Gentle.
The bird was imported by Mrs.
Gentle from Vera Cruz, Mexico,
during the Civil War. When
Mrs. Gentle passed to the Great
Beyond, Mr.. Pesson came in pos
session of the pet and for the past
eight years has been in the care
of the Broussard family at their
lovely country home.
The venerable bird was taken
over when only a little wee par
rot in the nest which makes him
fifty-five years, more o. less end
was in the best Of health until his
death.
Immediately after his death he
was packed up and mailed to the
Professor of Taxerdermy in the
Tulane University where he wiz
be mounted and returned to the

The attention of our readers
is directed to the attraction to he
held under the auspices of the
Lafayette Industrial Institute at
the jefferson Theatre, Lafayette,
La. on Monday, December llth
at 8 T. NJ. On this occasion they
will have with them the world
renowned Ernest Gamble Concert
Company composed of several of
the most noted musicians now
touring the country. All Of the
attractions that make Lafayette
under the supervision of the La
fayette Institute are the best, and
those Of our citizens who are in
position to attend them always
come back feeling that they have
been rewarded for being present
when these performances are held.

Within the next ten days it
is more than probable both the
Gulf Refining Company and the
New Iberia Oil Company will be-
gin boring for oil on the Schwing-
Goodwin tract and what is known
as the Bolivar tract. opposite
Olivier Station near Little Bayou
These companies have already
completed their derricks and all
that remains now is to get the
machinery in operation to COM
mence the work. The whole sec
ton where the indications are so
pronounced is located in township
IL south, range 3 east. Leases
and sub-leases have been given
to numerous people interested in
the development of this territory
and within the next three weeks
oil in large quantities should be
brought to the surface, if indica-
lions amount to anything. It was
fortunate for our people that the
ORIGINAL promoters If this fiTd
held out sufficient inducements to
induce the Gulf Refining Com |
oanv to agree to sink test wells
here, otherwise nothing would
have been done to develop this
property. If oil is found at
Olivier it will be the making of !
New iberia and already dozens of
iii prospectors and spectators
ire coming to our little City to
watch the DEVELOPMENT and other
wise secure holdings of oil lands
n that neighborhood. It would
,e much better for the masses
we're gas found in large quantity
nd then the prosperity of New
IBERIA would be assured, as it
would be the means Of inducing
Industries Of every conceivable
ature to make investments here
wing to cheap fuel. Since
shreveport struck gas several
oxen large manufacturing plants
ave been erected in that thriv-
ng city and these same conditions
7ould prevail in our midst.

American Tube & Stamping Co., In7 ternational Silver Go. and the Union Metallic Cartridge Co.,, owners of the industrial railroad that runs through the streets are required to keep in re- pair the same portion of the street as the, Connecticut Go. must, in streets where it's lines run will be investi- gated. Years ago the old East End Street Railway Go. had a line run ming through this portion of Seaview avenue and some of the rails have never been taken up. If the street is widened the companies using the rail- road will be asked to care for the pavement in the tracks and two feet each side.
 TO the astonishment of most mem bers of the common council it was shown last night that Lyon terrace where the new High school is located is not a public street. This developed when the. matter of paving the street and placing it in order came up. Lyon terrace is a private thoroughfare and has never been accepted by the city.
 A balance of $1.683.62s remaining from the appropriations in the hands of the board of education from the appropriations of last year was trans ferred to a fund to create 9. library for the new High school.
 The council voted to establish har- Dor lines in Johnson's Creek.

 Having $2,275.ooo 70 spend, the ad- ninistratfop proposes to get busy and spend it immediately. The common council last night voted to adjourn un- til next Monday night by which time all departments are expected to hand in recommendations as to. how they wish the money spent. Mayor Wilson last night read recommendation which was adopted by the council urging each department to have a plan ready for next Monday evening. City Engineer A. H. Terry intro duced a resolution to abolish the Henry street basin. The city engineer proposes to buy land at the foot of Bostwick avenue for a pumping sta ton and to construct a sewer in Wal demere and Myrtle avenues through Harbor street to Bostwick avenue.
 alderman MalcFayden. in a motion adopted by the council last night pro- poses that the City Planning com mission shall lay it's plans before the board of aldermen. before any of the s25ooOO bonds for street extension are expended.

GERMANS AGAIN TAKE UP SHARP
 VERDUN DRIVES

Paris, April 1S.-After several days rest, during which additional effec- tives were made up and stocks of n1u- Enftions replenished. the Germans have concentrated attacks upon different points Aof the French defense at Ver- dun. The first point selected was the one-mile section between the Mouse and Douaument which forms 8 salient
 that seriously 1mpedes the enemy. It includes the famous Pepper Hill. Approaches to this position are fur ther effected by the French batteries on the west bank of the Mouse and it was the view to facilitating operations
 against the salient that the Germans
 made their recent offensive against
 Cunmieres and Dead Mans Hill. This
 having failed, they are now trying the effect of direct wearing tactics, em- ploying dense masses of infantry in
 small spaces but so far with little suc- cess.
 The net result of their efforts has
 been the gain of a small salient west l of DouauInont which, the French
 claim, is unimportant.
