AT the meeting Of the New
iberia Chamber of Commerce last
Tuesday night, the board Of d.
rectors employed as its secretary
manager Mr.. Frank Noel of Hous
ton, Texas. who will take over the
important civic work on January
1st. The gentleman at present IS
employed on the editorial staff OF
the Chronicle, published in that
metropolis, and Judging from 4
personal interview with him, we
sincerely believe the board has
made wise selection. The gem
tleman has had long experience
in work of that nature and his
connection with a large daily
paper should tend in great
measure to facilitate him in his
responsible duties as manager OF
our organization For the benc-
fit of those who feel an interest in
this appointment. we thought 1t
might be advisable to make 1t
known to the citizens Of New lbe-
ria that he was not only well rec
commended as live wire and a
good mixer. but was well en-
ployed in his native city. He came
here at the urgent solicitation Of
the board and not because he did
not have lucrative and profitable
employment. We trust when he
comes to our CITY our citizens will
give him the Glad hand and bid
him welcome thrice over.

CHRISTMAS DAY
BRINGS UNIVERSAL
.ss JOY TO CITY HOMES

/ A true Yuletide spirit which crept
into all homes in the city yesterday
the day as one Of the hap
piest Christmas festivals that has
been celebrated here for some time.
Merrymaking which began at the
early morning.; continued throughout
the day. and It is believed that every
home in Grand. Forks took part in
the joys.Of the, occasion.
Church services in a number Of
churches in the morning, began the
day in a fittingly solemn manner, and
family reunions, gatherings Of friends
and relatives made the day a par
t.cularly happy one. In many in-,
stances boys who had been in serv-
ice celebrated Christmas yesterday at
home for the first time in two years.
With the weather the mildest that
it has been in the past two months
yesterday, lowering at above 80 de-
grees most of the day, conditions
were ideal for full enjoyment of the
day. Not only was the celebration of
Christmas day one of the happiest in
years, but merchants and shopkeep-
ers in the city. declared that there
has been the biggest run Of business
during this season in the history Of
their establishments.
The postofficc was kept busy dur
ing yesterday morning disposing of
the volume of mail that has been
pouring into the office during the
past week. Postoffice officials said
that there has been the largest
amount of Christmas mail handled
this year that has ever gone through
the local Office at this season.
