-Demolishing of the frame
building occupied as the Lejeune
Garage was commenced this week
so as to make room for a nice
brick building for the New Iberia
Hardware Co., managed by Mr..
Francis VOORHEES,. This concern
has met with such success here
that even tho they, some years
ago leased the lower floor Of the
Guillot building on Iberia Street
which they stocked with hard
ware material they have not as
yet sufficient floor space. For
some weeks this firm has been re-
ceiving carload lots Of brick with
the intention Of proceeding with
the work as rapidly as conditions
will permit. In few weeks the
brick masons will commence
erecting another building which
will be attached to their present
store. From what we learn the
building will be of one-story, but
will have high front wall to
embellish it.

LOCAL NEWS,

The people of this country
have been experiencing one of the
worst rainy seasons for many
years. In fact we have yet II
find the first person, but what
says they have never seen anything
like it. The rays of the sun has
not been noticed for one solid
week, and the country generally
is flooded with water. Despite
the heavy precipitation with the
exception of the seed cane in the
bottom lands, so far our farmers
report the seed not damaged. #
this weather continues another
fifteen days there is no doubt
much seed cane will be unfit for
planting. It has been impossible
for any farm planting to be done
and the crops will have a set
back unless there is an early abate-
ment of rain.

We were requested to men,
ton that the stock law and ordi-
ance relative to riding bicycles
on the sidewalks will be rigidly
enforced in the future by the Off
GERS of New Iberia. The Woman s
Council has made request that
more attention be given to these
infractions of the law, because of
the danger to pedestrians in this
City, and Mayor Sealy is now de-
termined to enforce the ordinance
as it stands on the City statutes
that no riding whatever be al
lowed. Only a few nights ago a
large plate glass in the store of
Mr.. A. Elias, corner of Main and
Bridge Streets was broken to
piece of half blind mule running
into it. Whether the half
starved animal was deliberately
turned out because it had lost its
usefulness. we do not know
However, the animal got on the
sidewalk and was attracted by a
light In the plate glass window,
drove his head into the glass. We
trust the cruelty to animal laws
of louisiana will also come in for
a little attention while these
other ordinances are being en-
forced. There are a few persons
here who have little compassion
for dumb brutes and when they
are apprehended they should be
fined. While the bicycle ordi-
nance is being enforced it would
be well when the gravel roads in
East End again become dusty, if
some attention be given to the
auto speeders. Life and , limb
needs more protection from the
speeders on this highway than
from the little children who oc-
casionally take bicycle ride on
the sidewalks. If speeding was
the users of bicycles
would then have an opportunity
to ride in the streets. As it is
now unless they use the sidewalks
they are denied this healthful ex-
ercise. Since writing the above,
we note by the proceedings of the
Woman's Council that they have
requested that bells be placed on
bicycles so that the riders can
give suitable warning to pedes-
trians. This is indeed wise
move and all should comply with
the law.

There have been several larg,

There have been several large
real estate transactions effected
this week. a part Of which was
through the agency Of Mr.. R. A.
Jacob. One of the tracts which
changed hands was that of Mr..
W. B. Kramer, comprising 26s
acres. 1t was purchased outright
by Mr.. S. E. Sorrel. Another was
a tract Of three hundred acres,
owned by Mr.. Henry n. Pharr.
This was taken over by Mr.. L. L.

Darby tract was also negotiated
for by Mr.. Geo. W. Richie also
of the same Parish.

SO many complaints being
made to the members of the City
Commissioners about the damage
Icing done by the numerous trac
tors plying up and down the
streets of New Iberia, the Com.
missioners at their last meeting
passed ordinances prohibiting
their using Tugs or fanges. From
what we learn the Police Jury in
tend to enact the same law relative
tG their use ON gravel highways.
There is no objection whatever
to the tractor. but Tugs that chop
MP the highways will not be per-
mitted any longer. Some days
ago cur attention was called to
the damage beiIie done on the
bridge spanning The Teche in
this City by tractors with large
fanges. If this is continued much
longer, new wood flooring will
have to be constructed at great
expense to New Iberia.
