We editor expresses his thanks
to Mr.. Willie D. Reynolds for a
nice batch Of lettuce and some
delicious homemade sausage and
blood pudding. Mr.. Reynolds
has one Of the best little farms
in this vicinity situated just out
Of the limits of the corporation
on Iberia Street. Since the ac-
eident occurred in which his col
lar bone was broken Mr.. Rev
nolds. has not yet resumed his
work with the Southern Pacific
Railroad.
The Southern Rice Growers
Association, in charge Of Mr.. w.
c. Goslin with offices in the Alma
House. yesterday effected a sale
Of some five thousand sack Of
beautiful rice, the property Of
Mr.. J. J. Conrad of Jefferson s
Island and Mr.. D. Pardo Of Bald
win. The rice brought a good
price and the owners were highly
pleased with the magnificent price
obtained for the cereal. This or
ganization has done a great deal
Of good in protecting the rice
farmers of this section Of the
State and ere long every rice
farmer in the Parish will be listed
amongst its members.

For some reason or other
stock and cattle thieving is GET
ing quite common in this section
of the country. Almost every
week we hear of some one either
losing a horse by theft. or having
cows. hogs or chickens stolen
from their premises. One Of the
last crimes Of that nature was
that which occurred to Mr.. Rene
Viator dairyman whose prop
erty fronts Spanish Lake. In this
case Sheriff Landry and his dep
uties used blood hounds from
Hope Farm and they took the
scent which led to the home of
negro wherein several others re-
sided and they were all arrested
and incarcerated in prison.
Whether any other evidence has
been obtained by our officers we
do not know. Some days ago we
learn a negro boy sold a small
porker to a family here in New
Iberia and the pig was securely
placed in a pen near the house.
When night came on the very same
day the young villain crept back
and stole the property. Being
under age he could not be pun
ished. This is a bad situation
and it is one in. which sometimes
the victim will undertake to pun
ish the offender without resort 20
the Courts. Something should be
done towards securing a juvenile
reformatory near New Iberia and
these inscriptions half-grown
criminals made work for the
State.
