'I SIMPLY QUIT"
Mrs. C. P. Moss,

My Dear "Pug.'
"I have learned to know this
world of hypocrisy so well that I do
not care to continue to live in it.
"I hate to have to do this on ac
count of you and our boys, but life
on this planet ha3 grown intolerable
to me.
"As you are familiar with every
detail of our business, and eminent
ly qualified to handle things, you
are to make such business or other
investments as your judgment deems
best, in the future.
"I have no fear for the future of
my soul because I know thaï I am a
better man at heart and in fact than
90 per cent of them are, and I do
not believe that over 90 per cent of
them, are going to the worst place
in the hereafter. It is my one wish
that our two boys stick together
through this life, and if nracticable
that you always be near if not with
them.
"I leave all the love J possess with ;
you and our boys and may God be j
with you all.
Good bye,
"YOUR OLD TOPSY."

Mayor Shannon called the atten
tion of the council to the matter of
requiring all police officers to wear a
regulation police uniform. The coun
cil approved the suggestion and the
city officers will probably be notifi
ed to appear in the uniform that
may be selected with the coming of
the spring season.
Attention of the council was call
ed by letters and by verbal messages
to certain building and smoke nui
sances in the city and Engineer
Thorgeson was instructed to call the
attention of the property owners to
the matter presented.

one of the best known business men
in the Teche country and was a
leader in the tabasco sauce business
at New Iberia, his home. He was best
known for the fight he engaged in
with the Mcllhenys as to the right
to use the word tabasco.
In his letter to his wife Mr. Moss
expressed the wish that his ad, the
green heart should be placed upon
his tomb, and that he should be
buried in New Iberia.
The following postscript of the
letter written by Mr. Moss to his
wife on the letterheads of his com
pany Which was owned by his fam
jjy: Note—I wish my corpse to be
interred in the cemetery fronting
the R. R. at New Iberia and I want
our "Green Heart" Jo which I de
voted years of my best energies to
be conspiciously displayed on my
tomb—preferably made of stone, a
stone slab.
P. S. When in need of advice
confer with Rannic, and in the
event of the successful development
of your patents reward him gener
ously.
Everything about the suicide
suggested method, and the fact
that Mr. Moss was very deliberate
in his actions.
About the only reason he gave
for his suicide was that he was tired
of the world and its hypocrisy. He
said that he hoped to meet his wife
in a better world, saying that—-he
felt sure that he was better than 90
per cent of the people and that he
did not believe that 90 per cent of
them would go to thç other place.
