A little paragraph in last weeks
paper has prepared the reader for the
announcement, which we arc called up
on to make, of the death the esteem
ed citizen whose name heads this no.
tice. At 10 o'clock, Tuesday morning,
while the tolling bell was sole,nnly
knelling the death OF another, the soul
of A. G. Breard, buoyed by the hope
Of a peaceful Hereafter and by the as.
surances of his Reverend Confessor,
passed from earth into Eternity. Death
found him a willing subject,-a good
old age attained and life's battles sue
cessfully fought and terminated.
Mr.. Breard was born in this parish,
November %, 1911, at the place where
d. a. Breard, Jr., now lives, then
owned by Alexander Breard, father of
the deceased. Alexander Breard, the
father, was a native of France, and an
officer Of the French navy, in which
service he was engaged with the
French fleet in our Revolutionary
struggle until the capture of his vesse
by the British in Cuban waters.

years having been passed in the peace

the Endowment rank of the knights
of Pythias, holding policy for $4,000.
Policies for a similar amount were held
by :. Klotz, DIR. Richardson and Mr..

paid on proper proof. The Monroe
lodge has paid out on death assessments
between seven and eight thousand

balanced, on the payment of Mr.. Surgh-

the train for Delta, the entire trip oc-
rnpying most of the day.
The overflow is encroaching on the
track beyond Delhi, and is rising in
B,cuf river at the rate of 30 inches in
,! hours. 1t is also coming down the
l.atourche, only 9miles east of Monroe,
with the prospect of a steady rise for
some time, even without rainfall, as
the Ievees about Arkansas City and at
two places below Lake Providence
have given way. The Macon, back OF
Arkansas City, is booming and rising
rapidly with certainty of stopping
the Little Rock railroad.
We are advised at the railroad
Office 10 admonish merchants and
others at Girard, Crew Lake and or

what supplies or merchandise they
expect over the railroad from this end
