DAY LIBERATION
OF THE LARGEST oUTPoURINGS OF OUR PEOPLE
FROM THIS AND NEIGHBORING PARISHES
HUNDREDS OF DECORATED
- GORGEOUS

independence Day in New lbe-
ria was fttingly celebrated last
Thursday by the citizens OF our
Parish and visitors from neigh
boring towns all assembled here
to do honor to the elaborate pro-
gram. From the early morning
hour the people first assembled in
front of the Court House to wit
ness the hosting Of the Honor
Flag and Old Glory and to listen
to Judge L. 0. Hackers Fourth
of July oration which was well
received by the assemblage.
This over, many of the visitors
repaired to refreshment stands TO
await the arrival of two o'clock
when the parade was scheduled
to start. Preceding the parade
mounted officers cleared the
streets of vehicles. Then came
the flag bearer, DR.. Carstens, who
represented the Parish Council OF
nefense, followed by DR.. Henry
lA King. the Grand Marshal, to-
tether with some fifty or more
aids, riding on horse back. Merit
is line was the Red Cross ladies
of Jeanerette, New iberia and our
sister villages dressed in their
Red Cross costumes which made
an imposing sight. Following
this division came two beautiful
floats made up exclusively Of the
members of the Juvenile Red
Cross organization comprising

full of patriotism and hope. After
this the band rendered an ap
propriate musical selection under
the leadership of Mr.. Clet Girard
Then began the musical pro-
gram. the first number of which
were the songs of America and
The Star Spangled Banner by a
trained chorus specially trained
by Misses Sis Renoudet, Lizzie
White and Laurence Broussard
and request having been made
by the Chairman that the audience
join in the chorus, many did so.
Then Master Guy Hebert, a
member of the local Boy Scouts
delivered an Grafton. "Pledging
Allegiance to the Flag" by the
organization which he had the
honor to represent. This was fol-
lowed by a song by the members
Of this troop Of young American
soldiers trained by Rev. Brown
and Mr.. D. C. Bonnette.
The Declaration of Independ-
ence was then read by DR.. King
after which Hon. James O'Conner
of New Orleans, the orator of the
day delivered his grafton. Mr..
.O'Conner, without doubt. is one of
the best orators our City has ever
had the pleasure Of hearing and
we were indeed fortunate that the
management secured him for this
occasion. 1t was very unfort-
unate just at the time his listen
ers were becoming enthused with
his oratory and subject that the
attention Of the audience was at

as the audience was fast disap
pearing to witness the flying

This too was a disappointment
When the meeting was adjourned
most of the people then visited the
Opera House to see the pictures
presented under the auspices of
the Red Cross.
Early in the morning having
been invited by the management
the people had the pleasure Of
greeting the occupants of four fly
ing machines from the Gerstner
Field. These gentlemen who
honored us were Major Kirby,
Lieutenants McMahon and Dim
TRY, both iberia boys now in serv-
ice and several other airmen.
Their exhibitions were of great
interest to our people many of
whom had not yet had the priv
ilege of seeing the wonders of
1fianeuvering.
On account of having missed
connection, the people were disap-
pointed in not having with us for
this event the liberia Parish boys
who are now at Camp Beaure-
gard. They had been invited and
permission had been given by
General Hodges, but some unfor-
seen circumstance denied them
this privilege.
There is no gainsaying the fact
that the citizens Of Iberia Parish
demonstrated their patriotism on
July 4th. 1918.
DR.. Carstens was ably assisted
N forming the parade by Mr..
Robt. A. Jacob.
The entire program was carried

autos. recalling to mind that we
still have with us some of those
| who fought for the lost cause, and
whose ranks are growing thinner
as they are diminishing in num-
Der with each successive public
occasion. They were greeted with
applause as their division moved
on.
The brass band composed Of
local musicians furnished splendid
patriotic music during the entire
march through the streets.
Then came the Fraternal or
CARNATIONS of the towns and in
decorated autos. These organi-
cations were the Woodmen Of the
World, Christofo Columbo Socie-
ty, the Knights of Columbus, the
Masons. the Knights Of Pythias,
the Maccabees and the Elks. All
of these turned out in large num-
bers and their presence in the
parade added largely to its sue
cess.
The route of the parade was
from the Post Office corner up
Main Street out Vine to St. Peter,
down st. Peter to Ann and thence
to the beautiful College grounds
which had been specially deco
rated for the occasion.
After a few preliminary re-
marks by DR.. Carstens he re-
quested Dr.. King, the Chairman
Of the Parish Council of Defense
to preside. DR.. King then de-
livered the opening address, one

THE EUROPEAN WAR
Americans Check German Drive
Lost Ground Retaken
Sanguinary

The heaviest attack of the
Germans in this drive is against
the American forces. 1t is esti-
mated that our soldiers have
accounted for at least three
enemies for every one of the
Americans lost. While the Ger
mans have advanced along the
French front and also in some
places along the American front
of so miles they have been driv-
en- back some distance and at
last reports We're being held.
Rheims and Paris, the latter
guarded by Americans appear
the principle ohjectives of the
Germans. Germans were IN
able to use gas because of un-
favorable winds. Paris is again
shelled by long range guns.
Ally aids in Russia desert and
go over to Germany which rem
ders all hopes of saving Russia
without foundation. If true it is
a very serious blow to the Allies.
American flyers are doing heoric
work against heavy odds. Sew
eral aces have been lost beyond
the lines.

Our Banks

We call attention to the state
ments of our banks and others
in the county, made to the secre-
tary of state and published on
the 18th.
Considering. the heavy drafts
on the deposits of our banks,
the condition of each is admir-
able and then too, each has
made investments in bonds,
thrift stamps and war saving
stamps to a large amount. AT
this time the Accommodations by
the banks taken together with
the reserve and the remaining
deposits would have been ex-
pected to have run them all
down much lower in funds than
they are, but wait a week or
two and after the crop money
has been deposited. then their
vaults will bulge.

tributions to the Evangelist ap-
proximatly $1,000 out of which he
paid the big end of the expense
and additions to hurches as fol-
lows:

New Kind Of Tractor

A new farm tractor with strik-
ing characteristics is described
and illustrated in the August
Popular Mechanics Magazine.
1t is a two-wheeled contrivance
with the connecting rod and
steering column extending far
rearward so that when riding
plow or cultivator is attached the
farmer occupies the seat on the
implement as if using horses.
This arrangement makes it poss-
ible for one man to drive the
tractor and control the Implement
regardless of the kind of work
that happens to be in hand.
Ninety-eight per cent of the trac-
tors weight is balanced on the
driving wheel. This obviously
aids traction and also makes it
easy to change from one imple-
rnent to another.

Lee-FetZer

At Carrollton on Thursday of
last week Perry Lee of Sails
bury and Miss Mabel Fetzer of

Perry Lee is one of the lead
ing business men of Salisbury of
the firm of Herman and Lee,
Automobile and Farm Imple-
ment house and big Garage.
While he was engaged in the
automobile and garage busi-
ness his wife was his confden-
tai clerk and the mutual attach
ment sprung from that assc-
citation leading to their hal-
py union. Mrs. Perry Lee is
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Louis Fetzer who live south of
this city and all are natives of
the county. Mrs. Lee was for
merly employed at the Courier
as stenographer and bookkeeper
resigning her place for the posi-
ton at Salisbury, resigning that
position she engaged in the same
occupation at Kansas City, re-
turned and accepted her old po-
sition at Salisbury and resigned
and was employed for nearly a
a year at Tulsa, Oklahoma as
stenographer. She returned to
her home here several days ago
to be at the bed side of her sis

yer, and was persuaded to re-
main in Missouri and in this

Baptismal Service

The baptismal service held at
the Christian Church Wednesday
was attended by a large crowd.
There were twenty-five baptised
and three taken into the church
reinstatement. Frank Gillihan
pastor of the Brunswick Christ
ian Church officiated. It's very
encouraging to see so many
grown people coming into the
Kingdom. There were forty
one taken into the membership
of the church.
For the accommodation of those
that could not attend the SER
vice there win be a baptis-
NAL service at the creek next
Sunday afternoon at 8 O'Clock.
This will be a splendid time to
make confession of your Lord
and be baptised. 1t is hoped
that many by that time will have
made up their minds to serve
Christ. Hove to see the christi
an spirit among the churches of
Keytesville and that we are
learning the difference be-
tween. Churchanity and Christ
anity. May God bless all who
have made the start and may
there many more do so in the
near futnre.

EXTENSIVE THREsH|NG
Wheat Yielding as Expected.
Machines Not Half Thru.
Oats Next.

The threshers are at it early
and late and during the last ten
days have barely made a good
start on the wheat fields. Frost
will undoubtedly find many stacks
from which to glisten. The
yeild is big; we still stick to %
bushels or better to the acre.
Oats, everywhere, are waiting on
the wheat. This crop will be
much lighter than it appeared.

DREW BIG crowd
Salvation Army Speaker Draws
Our Quota Was Exceeded
Fine War Speech

Our city has been having large
crowds from every direction in
speakings and preachings for
several weeks but the surprise
was sprung on the community
Tuesday night, when Sargt. A.
Alex Allen faced about as large
crowd as the court house has been
called to accommodate for some
time.
In fact the large court room was
packed, all the aisles filled, the
gallery and corridors over-fown-
ing and hundreds were unable to
get within hearing distance OF
the speaker. Sgt. Allen has
lately returned from the front in
France, is a stocky built earnest
and energetic worker inthe Sal
vation army and a good speak
er, his story of the work of the
Red Cross, Knights of Columbus
and the Salvation army all along
the front of the war threw new
light on the value of these or
ganizations and gave to many
of his hearers a much higher
conception of the good work of
the Salvation army than ever
before possessed. An organization
was perfected with Hon. Roy W.
Rucker, chairman, and Jesse
Richardson, Sec., G. G. Parks
Treasurer which organization
was to conduct and look after
the collection of the quota for
this city for the benefit of the
Salvation army in the war. Be it
said in highest praise of the lib
erality of this community and
others from a distance 4who.were
present that our quota was ex-
ceeded more than four times
over a $1,000. having been raised
in the little while for the benefit
of that army which hunts out
and provides for the physical and
spiritual welfare of the lowliest
in our land and abroad.
Sgt. Allen gave in his speech
a review of the incidents lead
ing up to our entry into the
war, in which he was practic-
ally correct. He gave a vivid
description of the relief work
by the various organizations at
the front and in this country
for that purpose. and while
he said as much or more in
praise of other organizations de-
voted to his account of the work
of the salvation army appealed
to the spirit and generosity OF
all present, and while num-
bers gave till it hurt, they would
have been more liberal if posi-
tive prudence had not forbid.
1t was most gratifying to our
citizens to see the great turn out
on the occasion which would have
been much greater but for other
events in town that night which
kept numbers away but as it
was there was not accommodation
for those who were able to at
tend.
