While in the act Of starting a
Ford car on Wednesday morning,
young George Derouen had the
misfortune of breaking his right
arm near the wrist. The fact that
several accidents Of that natuEA
has occurred here in the past few
months 1t would be we'll for those
who attempt to crank their autos
to be more careful, else 9th rs
might meet with the same misfor-
tune.

After an absence from New
Iberia of some ten Years, Mr..
Ovignac Viator will again east his
lot with his old friends and
become one Of our active business
men. Some ten years ago, Mr..
Viator removed to Houston, Texas,
and built up a nice bakery bust
ness in that city, in fact accumu-
lated considerable real estate dur
ing the short term Of years he was
engaged in business. Within re-
cent years a longing to be back
at his old home came over both,
Mr.. Viator and his better-half and
an opportunity presented itself
for him to lease out his property
which he did, to return here
among his old friends once more.
It is hoped that whatever bust
ness he engages in will be prof
table to him in the future and
that he viii again become one of
our successful business men.

An important meeting Of the
Chamber Of Commerce took place
in the City Hall on Tuesday night |
last. The purpose OF the session
was to entertain a proposition
from Lieutenant Governor Mouton
looking to the establishment in
this City Of large canning fac
tory, provided our farmers could
be induced to plant sufficient ac-
reage Of figs. The matter was re-
ferred to a committee who will
consult with some Of our farmers
to see if they would be interested
enough to set out fig trees in such
quantity that it would justify a
corporation to build a plant of
that kind here 1t seems to us
the owners Of land in this vicinity
should take to the proposition if
they have some kind Of positive
assurance a factory would be
constructed, justifying them in
an outlay for fig trees. 1t
is true it would take some three
years for certain varieties Of trees
to mature and bare fruit, but once
the trees are yielding fruit they
will require no further attention,
and a nice yearly income will be
acquired for the thrifty persons
who engage in this business. Dur !,
ing other seasons vegetables of all
description would be consumed by
the factory and we would have
another industry giving employ ..
ment to our young people at re-
wages. If it is posi- {
bic to land this industry. we feel
assured the Chamber Of Commerce ..
