'Suffer little children to come unto me

dom of heaven" In their great affection
Mr.. and Mrs. Vanzant have the sympathies
of many friends in Lincoln county, where
they formerly lived. Their babe has gone
before to smooth the rugged path for them.
In Brookhaven, Saturday morning at one

daughter OF r. II. and Mrs. Ida Henry,
aged eleven months and four days.
Another little mound has been raised and
pure and innocent spirit has winged its
flight to realms of eternal bliss. Sad and
sorrowful hearts mourn for the departed,
but there is joy in heaven among the an
gels, for the little soul that has gone to Join
their throng basks in everlasting glory
around the throne of grace. Probably only
those who have stood beside the death bed
of one OF their own young and inno-
cent children can know the deep anguish
OF loving parents as they watch the life-tide
ebbing away. But though 1t is sad and
hard to give up one Of our loved ones, the
reflection that it is safe in the arms of Je-
sus is aconsolation to our bruised and over
burdened hearts. Your sweet little child
has only gone before, and when your earth
~ pilgramage is done, and you stand at the
gates Of the Golden City, she will be there,
radiant with divine light. to welcome you.

Quite revival of religion has been going

building house Of Worship, which they are
speaking of doing.
The days are long and very warm and
many resort to the beautiful clear waters Of
the Boguechitto to battle and fish, and many
are the finny tribe that are caught.
The health of this vicinity was never bet,

seen that they would like to have something

OBJECT AND PURPOSES.

This organization is what its name i'm
plies, Union for Mutual Aid, its objec
being to associate unmarried men and wo
men together to assist each other by provi
ding fund for them at marriage, and fol
olence, temperance, economy and industry
INCORPORATED.
This Union was organized and chartered
under the laws Of Louisiana. The officers
and directors are successful business men
and are well known in commercial and so.
cial circles. Their names are guarantees
that the business of the Union will be
faithfully and honestly conducted. The
officers are under heavy bonds.
THE PLAN.
The Union differs from mutual life asso-
Citations, in that it pays its certificates at
marriage Tor stated time thereafter) while
they pay only at death. 1t also differs from
other marriage associations, giving more
benefits and for less money than they do,
allowing earlier marriages and paying
sooner. Any white person, either male or
female, OF good moral character and of
sane mind, can join either of the classes by
complying with the requirements OF the
Union. A person can only join one class.
TWO FUNDS.
The money received on membership
fees and annual dues will be known as the
General Fund. 1t will be used to pay Off
GERS, agents, rents and the expenses of the
Union. The assessments will be designa-
ted as the Marriage Benefit Fund, and will
only be used to pay the certificates as mar
rlages occur.
CHARACTER OF APPLICANTS.
The officers of the Union will do all in
their power to prevent the admission OF
disreputable or immoral people. All APP
plicants must be satisfactorily recommend
ed before certificates will be issued. Ger
tificates will not be paid when evidence is
received that the parties marrying are I'M
worthy people and have practised fraud
ON the Union.
FOUR CLASSES.
The benefits are divided into four classes,
designated as GA, /" 3d." &C." and "D.''
