In another place will be found the
death notice of Miss Elizabeth Moss,
which occurred at her fathers home,
in this parish, on the fourth instant.
Only a short time ago Miss Lizzie was
visiting friends. and relatives in Lake
Charles, the guest Of the Haskell
House. She was the very picture of
health, and her friends little dreamed
that death was SO soon to lay his wither-
ing touch upon her bright, happy
young life. Cut down in the youth
and bloom of noble womanhood, it is
indeed notification of the aphorism
that death loves a shining mark. 2"
To the grieved father and mother,
brothers and sisters, the Echo offers
its sincere coincidence.
