late The Platinum Tounged Orator
Of the Teche :" He delivered, not
speech, but regular oration," his
subject being, Topics of the Day"
Many comments have been heard on
this address, and it is a pity that
only forty seven of our citizens
heard it.
Hon James A. Simon, District
Judge for several terms, had his sub
ject Dispensing Justice For Seven
teen Years and he dispensed elo-
quence as freely in his address as he
dispenses justice from the Bench of
the Nineteenth District Court.
"The Gospel of Good Roads," was
the title Of the talk of Hon. Edward
l.. Estorge, and as he was one Of the
men who helped the frame the latest
Good Road system for Louisiana, he
was in position to make most in
teresting and instructive talk on this
subject which is so important to ev-
cry citizen right now.
This closed the Menu of Literary
Dishes, and the members and friends
of the Association arose in the midst
of feeling of brotherhood and good
will that will long be remembered

AMERICAN LEGION TO
HAVE XMAS DANCE.

With a dance Friday, December
4th, iberia Post No A Of the Ameri.,
can Legion, will usher in the holiday
season.
This is to be the first Of series Of
dances to be given by the organiza-
ton, and upon the success of this
first dance depends the future policy
of the Legion with respect to enter
tainments of a social character.
This dance will be in the National
Guard Armory on Iberia Street at
$50 P NJ, on the 23rd, and an ad-
mission charge Of one dollar will be
made
It is hoped that the good people of
New Iberia, and those friends Of the
Legion in the surrounding towns and
villages who enjoy dancing and want
to have a good time will turn out in
goodly numbers to assure success
for the occasion.
The American Legion has done
good work in this section since its
organization, and can always be re
lied upon to do its share in any IN
dertaking or emergency which may
arise.
The purpose of these. dances is to
afford some social life to the organi-
zation, and the receipts derived will
be used to this end, and for the pur-
pose Of establishing the Legion
more firmly in our midst.
Come and have big time your
self, and at the same time support a
worthy cause.

FIRST POULTRY SHOW OF LOCAL CLUB IS
GRAND SUCCESS.
,,uch Enthusiasm Created. Many New Members Join.
Big Show Next FALL

MIA First Poultry exhibit show Of
+be IBERIA Poultry Association was
'n' .sred. as advertised in The Iberian.
- - saturday and Sunday.
~ Tbo committee in charge had made
..oIIent preparations, and it is for
.a,o+o indeed that they had done 50,
:. tbp number of birds brought in
sor exhibit was even greater than
had been expected.
The total number of pure bred
fowls was one hundred and fifty
four. which was mighty good show
mo when it is remembered that each
ovbibit was limited to five birds.
Last fall at the District Fair held
IN LAFAYETTE, where exhibits were re-
cpiyed from thirteen parishes, and
where there was no limit on the num-
her of birds in any display, the total
number reached was only two hund-
red and seven, very little more thar
the number shown at the strictly To-
cal show here.
The purpose Of the Poultry Show
was not to hold a competition, and
no Judging for premiums was had,
and it is fortunate that such was not
attempted, for the displays were all
50 excellent, that the judges would
have had trouble in selecting the
winners in some Of the classes.
The fowls were all picked up out
of the yards of their owners, and
were therefore not in real show con-
dtion, but Notwithstanding this fact,
they were in shape almost good
enough to cop prize in any of the
Fairs held around this. section of the
country.
The real purpose of the Associa-
ton was to develop an interest in the
raising of pure bred poultry, and to !
enlist a number of new persons in
this game of pleasure and profit.
This being the purpose, the show
must be pronounced a remarkable |
success, for after viewing the dis
plays, a large number Of citizens
stated that they intend to purchase
some standard poultry and get into
The Association. In fact several men
who didn't know the difference be-
,ween a Turkey .Gobbler and a set
ing hen, are now Fans in the game
# poultry breeding, and when the
lext Show is pulled off, the Associa-
ion will have to prepare space for
,robably twice the number of pens of !
ancy blooded chickens.

IN NORWICH FIFTY YEARS AGO

During the closing week of 1870 very ittle news of interest took place. The Bulletins columns be'Es taken up wi-h review of events that had taken place atIring the year. The most notable &C., complishment perhaps was the completion Uf the Taftville mill, which was predicted ts become the nucleus of a thriving vil- IAge. As seen today, this prediction has come true and proved the foresightedness sa the editor of 50 years ago.
 Extracts from The Bulletins filed of 1870 follow: Y: Dec 2s, 1STo.-Sunday was Christmas Say. Christmas eve passed very coldly and quietly.

LODGE NOTES

Members of the local lodge of EIks have received copies of the speech of Daniel A. Reed of New York in the House of Representatives on Saturday June 5, 1920. in which Mr. Reed calls attention to the great war relief work done by the Elks5 War Reler Comrnis- sion durin gthe war and after MT. Reed in speaking of the work says: '"The Elks were the first to suggest to the govern ment the building. of reconstruction hospital and offered to purchase a site and erect a building for the purpose, to be turned over to the government gratis fo ruse during the ebod of the war and IS much longer as needed, and our Gov ernment hastened to accept this gener- ous and timely offer.
 The EllD Reconstruction Hospital, at Boston, was thereupon erected, compiet- | ed, and equipped in record time, and was the only hospital of the kind ready in time to receive and treat the first of the disabled returning soldiers, sailors and marines of our fighting forces.
 Two large base hospitals in France completely soutfitted and equipped by the Order of Elks u'~-- e-9--~ the most ef- fcient operated during che war.
