of his contemplated departure from
this parish at an early date.
For seven years Mr.. Fischer, who
comes from New York City, has been
valued member Of the official staff
at the Government Farm, and during
that time both he and Mrs. Fischer
have built up an enviably large cir
Gle of warm friends both here in

Fischer from the community.
Mr.. Fischer has been given the

which is most desirable position.
They have secured a nice residence
in Lafayette, and will move there on
the first Of December. Mr.. Fischer
promises that they will come "back

with their friends in Iberia.
We wish them every success in the
new venture.
