An unfortunate accident befell little Calvin »Sampson, Mr. Junius Sampson’s son. who is on a visit to ids mother’s relatives in Fausse Pointe. While out hunting last week lie shot awiy one of his fin­gers, necessitating amputation of the lacerated parts. He was very courageous throughout the ordeal and bore the affliction manfully

The New Iberia Southern Canal.

At last there is something more than “talk” doing.

On Monday of this week Mr. F. S. Hoyt, the contractor arrived here and set the ball lolling. Or. ders were placed for lumber with »Mr. (). G. Dupre, and it was promptly delivered on a site near the head of the proposed canal U. S. Davidson was engaged and at once started the construction of a boarding house for the accom modation of the employees on the Canal work.

Through the kindness of Mr. Leon Lemaire, the president of the drainage board which has this work in charge, the writer, was taken in the President’s buggy out to the works to see what was goingon, on last Wednesday fore noon. We met Mr. Dent Thomas, a son of Mr. Hoyt’s partner, who

j is down here from northern Iowa;I also, Mr. Richardson of Alexan. dria. Both these gentlemen will be on the work till ils completion.

The machinery has been shipped from various points—a part from .Sew Orleans, another lot from St. Louis aud some from Alexandria. Its arrival is expected before the close of this week, when it will at once be taken to the point of its use.

With the outfit coming from St. Louis is a complete electric light plant which will be used for night work. It is the intention of the contractor to.employ three shifts of workmen in the cutting of this canal, working each shift eight hours. By this system there will Oe no stops in the work from its start to its finish.

It is probable that the breaking of the first dirt will be accom pauied with proper and fitting ceremony. The little daughter of Mr. Leon Lemaire has been spo­ken of to act as sponsor on the occasion. A twin or double handle spade will be provided. With this tool Messrs. E. J. Cars tens and Leon Lemaire together will lift out the first spade-full of earth—the dredges will do the rest.

Dr. Warren G. Young lias de cided to leave Crowley and before the first of the year he will take up his residence at New Iberia. He regrets leaving Crowley, and thinks the surrounding country to New Iberia a more promising field.

Dr. Young has been identified wit It Crowley for fourteen years and during his residence here lie has proven himself one of the brightest physicians in Southwest Louisiana. He is a man who be­lieves in progress, is energetic and is ever on the watch for new methods whereby he may alleviate the pains of disease.

He lias served as coroner of Acadia parish and was at one time president of Hie Crowley Board of Health during some of its most trying periods. While serving in this capacity he greatly demonstrated his ability as a phy. sician. Early in 1891 lie located in Rayne and for seven years he Had a large practice in that town where lie was greatly admired. In 1898 lie came to Crowley and is now one of the most prominent physicians here and has and en­viable record, with a large prac­tice.

He is a gentleman of culture and refinement, affable in manner and a man of more than ordinary abil ity aud of handsome physhpre, tall and stately.

The first Lorenz operation ever performed in the state outside of New Orleans was undertaken in this city last April and was a suc­cess in every respect.

He has the honor also of having performed what is known as the abdominal section operation, the only one ever accomplished in Acadia or Vermilion parishes.

He will leave behind him a host of admiring friends who will re­gret very much his departure, but who join with the Signal with kindest wishes for his future suc­cess.

Dr. Young still believes in Crowley and thinks it one of tLe best cities in the State, but go< s to New Iberia as he thinks it a better field —Crowley Signal.
