Sugar and Gas, Both Are
Scarce and High; City Out
OF Both Commodities

Gasoline and sugar appear to have
nothing in common, but both are hard
to obtain in Richmond, and when you
get either, it is in small quantities and
costs record prices. Railroad tie-ups
are responsible for the shortage OF
both.
The Standard Oil company says the
car of 'gas" received Monday is ex-
hausted. Nothing is left but the odor
Several garages have no gasoline
Several retail groceries have no sugar
Those that have either are selling in
very small quantities. One Richmond
wholesale grocery reports small sup
ply of sugar. while others report a
supply on the way from the east.

HENRY M. THOMPSON.

| After going to press last Friday
we learned of the sad accident that
resulted in the death of one of New
Iberia's most generally admired citi-
zens.
Mr.. Thompson was working on a
rice levee with Mr.. Fred Lietmeyer
and some farm laborers, last Friday
morning when storm came up. AS
their work was about completed they
remained to finish it, altho the light
ming seemed very close. Presently
La tremendous bolt struck, throwing
"a large volume of water into the air
from the flooded field, and binding
the men for time. When the air had
cleared Mr.. Thompson was not to be
seen, and only after a search was his
body located where it had been hurled
by the force of the stroke. The light
ming had struck his shoulder and then
burned it's course down his body to
the ground. Death must have been in
Simultaneous.
Mr.. Thompson, age 80 years, was
native Of Mississippi, coming first
to Abbeville when quite young, but
had resided in Iberia since his mar
riage, about twelve years ago.
The funeral services were conduct
by the local lodge of Pythians, of
which he was loyal member, taking
place last Sunday at P. M. He was
also member of the Woodmen.
After the lodge ceremony at the
residence on E. Main Street, Rev. H.
N. Brown took charge and conducted
the burial in the Protestant cemetary.
The deceased leaves his wife, two
daughters, and two sons, the young
est child being one year old. His fat
her, Mr.. H. E. Thompson, also survi-
yes him, and has been making his
home with him in New Iberia for a
time.
Other relatives who attended the
funeral were, his aunt Miss May Rus
sell of Willows, Miss, his sister Mrs.
r. A. Grundy of Texas, his only sur
viving brother R. Thompson of Texas
Mrs. E. E. Ryan, an aunt of Able
vile, his youngest sister Mrs. Philip
Broughton of New Iberia, and w. w.
