LEON LOZES, NEW IBERIA.--Mr. Lozes was born in France, 1840.  He came to
Louisiana at the age of twenty-five years.  He received a good education
in his mother tongue in France.  Since locating in Louisiana Mr. Lozes
has been engaged in planting.  He now operates eight hundred and fifty
acres of land, in the fifth ward of Iberia parish, about eleven miles
west of New Iberia.  This he cultivates chiefly in cotton, which he gins
on his own plantation, having a large cotton gin for the preparation of
his own and of his neighbor's cotton for market.  Mr. Lozes is a
successful planter.  He was married, 1869, to Mrs. Landry.  He and wife
are members of the Catholic church.
