| Mr.. J. w. Williams who has
charge Of the Iberia Park has is
sued another interesting race pro
gram to take place on Sunday,
August 4th beginning at 2:3o
O'Clock. Several animals with
national records have been en-
tered in the speed contests and
those who attend will enjoy an
interesting program.
The corporation Of New 1be-
ria lost two fine mules last Mon
day evening, both of which was
struck by lightning. From what
we could learn one of the animals
was killed in his stall while
the other staggered as far as the
stable door. and dropped dead.
They were in q large barn back
of Mayor Sealy residence and the
lshock of the stroke was even felt
by members of the Mayors fam
lily. Fortunately the house was
| not strnck and no one was in
jured. From what we could learn
Ia wire Of some kind led to the barn
| and the current followed the wire
| to the place where the mules were
being fed.
We were shown O. stalk OF
cotton this morning ON display in
the Peoples National Bank that
must have had seventy-five well
] formed bolls of the feecy staple.
The stalk was raised ON the plan
tation Of Mr.. Paul q. LeBour.
geois and shows to what extent
| the cotton crop is advanced. We
were told Mr.. Castor Mestayer
has a stalk with one hundred and
fifty bolls upon it.
666 contains no alcohol, arsenic, nor
other poisonous druga
Next Monday evening at 80
o clock at the Court House will
be held a mass meeting for those
of our manufacturers and mer-
chants who run delivery service
at all hours of the day. The meet
ing is called by Mr.. Luke L. Ber-
trand the local chairman Of the
committee appointed for this
purpose by the Council Of De-
tense of Iberia Parish. The
primary object of the meeting
from what we can understand is
to devise ways and means Of COM
plying with the Government s war
measures during the war and thus
do away with SO many delivery
wagons running at all hours OF
the day when the trips could be
materially reduced. Mr.. Ber-
trand anticipates a large meet
ing on next Monday afternoon
and every business man running o.
delivery service Of any kind isl
expected to be present to get in
'structions as to the Nation 8
wishes. ~
lit win be Of interest to the |
friends and acquaintance Of Mr.. |
j. R. Quesenberry to know that
he has been appointed the Super
intendent Of the iberia Parish
Live Stock Experimental Farm
to succeed DR.. C. E. Mauldm now
located in St. Mary Parish. Mr..
Quesenberry was the assistant
to DIR. Mauldm and his pro-
motion is no doubt deserved.
The Farm has been Of much value
to the farmers IN this Parish who
nave taken advantage of the work
carried on by those in charge. It'll
$ unfortunate. however, that
many of our agriculturists have
not profited by the experiments
for their benefit. Il
rhis institution was placed in this
Parish at a great expense to the
and our people could 1
earn great deal about stock ]
'aisine and forage crops If theyl ]
MY took the trouble to take adj
'antage Of the opportunity. Wis
tors are welcome at any and all (
lines Of the day and every depart
nent is omen to inspection. Mr.. II
Arthur Fischer the business as
istant and book-keeper, like Mr. Is
luensenberrv extends an invita-,
ion to everybody. Ii
