T. L. DULANY, NEW IBERIA.--T. L. Dulany, attorney, of New Iberia, was
born in Avoyelles parish in 1852.  He was educated in the local schools

He was admitted to the bar before the Supreme Court at Opelousas, at the
July session of 1885.  Immediately on being admitted to the bar he

lucrative practice in this and the adjoining parishes.  He is the son of
Benjamin C. Dulany, M. D., who was a graduate of the University of

Daniel.  The latter returned to England.  Benjamin reared a family of
several sons, one of whom was Benjamin T., of Virginia.  He was the
