Last Saturday night at about
8 40. the two dwellings and small
store building Of Mrs. E. Hedt in
East End was destroyed by fire.
Tt seems the flames was first dis
covered in an unoccupied home in
the dwelling owned by Mrs. Hedt.
On account Of wrong fire signals.
the Fire Truck was delayed in
reaching the burning building and
it then spread to the adjoining
dwelling occupied by the family
of Mr.. Ransonnet and thence to
the store of Mr.. Frank Spolark.
BY heroic effort all of the mer-
chandise in the store was saved as
well as the furniture of Mr.. Ran
sonnet. A few of the household
effect of Mrs. Hedt was also lost
and broken during the excitement.
While Mrs. Hedt carried some in
surance on her three buildings, it
was not near enough to enable her
to rebuild the structures.

RESOLUTIONS OF KNIGHTS
OF COLUMBUS.

Whereas, Almighty God has re-
moved from us, Brother Il. r.
lilly, Lecturer. of New Iberia
Council No. 1908 knights Of
Columbus, and. whereas, his death
at so youthful and useful an age
has cast a gloom on the entire
community;
Therefore, be it resolved by this
Council that we mourn his un-
timely death and miss the good
lessons taught by him in the dis
charge of the duties of his Office
of Lecturer, so ably performed on
all occasions.
Be it further resolved, that we
join his family, the public and
especially the school children of
this Parish in the feeling of great
loss at his untimely demise, and
point to our young men his career
as one deserving to be emulated.
Be it further resolved, that this
Council extend its sympathy and
coincidence to his widow, children
and family; that copy of these
expressions be sent to his widew
a copy furnished to the New Iberia
Enterprise and the Weekly Tber-
ian, and page of the minutes be
dedicated to his memory by in
scribing these resolutions thereon.

AT the meeting of the New
Iberia Chamber of Commerce last
: Tuesday night, after discussing
the serious condition of the gravel
situation, those who have sold
gravel to our Road Committees
contend they cannot get cars, and
use other excuses, that does not
seem reasonable, Mr.. Frank Noel,
the Secretary-Manage agreed to
make a trip to LeCompte to as
certain the trouble and to see if
he could not make arrangements
for early shipments into this Par
ish. Mr.. Noel left yesterday
morning and it is probable will re-
turn here this afternoon. 1t is
hoped his mission will be success
full. Unless We can get gravel
within the next two or three
months the public roads of this
Parish will still remain in the
same deplorable state. 1t is the
intention of the Chamber of Com
merce to bend its best efforts to-
wards the public road cOnstruc-
ton. If it does nothing other
than see that the model roads are
constructed, its efforts will have
been a success. We must have
public highways, if we ever hope
to make New Iberia the trading
center for our country residents.
Public roads are the greatest as
set to any community, which most
of our citizens, both in New Iberia
and the Parish now are fully con-
WINGED, and without them, both
the farmer and the business man
in New iberia suffers. The wear
and tear to vehicles is one Of the
heaviest taxes a citizen can pay,
and nothing should be left UNI
done this season to start the work
that means so much to everybody.
Another matter that was dis
cussed also, that is of interest to
our farming contingent is the re-
organization of a Parish Fair -
be held the latter part of the year.
The sentiment is exceedingly
strong for an exhibition this year,
but unless we are to have good
roads throughout the Parish, it
might be better to await until
September, 1921. Parish Fairs,
such as we held some years ago, if
will do great deal to-
wards developing the agricultural
interests Of the community and
even though it be impossible to
launch the movement for a Free
Fair this year, we must by all
means arrange for one during
1921.

One by one. the owners of
property in the East End continue
to improve the looks of their
estates by removing unsightly
front fences. This week the love
ly dwelling of Mrs. George N. Fitz-
hugh presents a complete change
in appearance which adds to the
landscape a thousand per cent.
There is no prettier property in
that section Of the City, but like
many others the grounds have
been completely hidden from view
owing to high fences. Every res
idential street in New iberia could
be improved, if only our citizens
would take the trouble to remove
their front fences. Even the di-
vision fences in the front yards
could safely be discarded. Hedges
should be planted or the division
fences Obliterated completely. In
this way every piece of property
would be enhanced and the City
made more attractive to the eye
of the stranger.

The stock of Mr.. F.. Taul, one
of our leading merchants was sold
this week to a Texas business con-
oern and shipped to the Lone Star
State in bulk. The closing out Of
this firm was a big surprise to the
business fraternitv of New Iberia
because of large trade which Ire
commanded. It is said the gen
tleman will retire and very prob
ABLY take ND his residence at New
Orleans. Just who will occupy
the building, which is now idle, we
have not yet learned, however, it
is more than probable it will not
be vacant many weeks.
