Obituary.

The town of Grand Coteau has been severely
tried of late by the death of most of its oldest
inhabitants, and the gloom cast by the loss OF
one is hardly dispelled ere another funeral
shadow overcasts the social sky of the COM
munity.
It is only d few days ago that it has again
been thrown in mourning by the death of that
venerable and beloved old citizen, II. s. Dun
bar. whose demise, though it happened IN his
seventy-seventh year, leaves a void which is
not OIL that account less severely felt. On the
contrary, the long enjoyment OF his pleasant
society had become necessity to large cir
Gle of appreciatiye friends to whom the loss Is
a sore bereavement.
Mr. H. S. Dunbar was native of the state ot
Mississippi. being born in the county of Adams,
but at the age of twentY.six, removed to our
State and parish where he settled on bayou
Bnuf as d planter and continued to reside up
to the breaking out of the war, when he NOV
ed to this place TO engage IN the drug busi-
ness.
Here he did not succeed in accommodating
much fortune but he made himself known as
a good and intelligent citizen, au honest man,
Il gentleman aud christian a devoted, kind
and indulgent father, good neighbor and
true friend.
Besides the ordinary ailments incidental to
old age he suffered most of the time from
chronic rheumatism, but his usual cheerful
disposition seemed to be but slightly affected
by it and displayed such sociabiity, and his
department was SO uniformaly courteous to
ali that it attracted and won the love of all
who appreciated him.
Coed and kind old So uire farewell; on your
respected grave lay this humble token OF love
and esteem for your many sterling qualities
of heart and mind and may my earnest
prayer to our common father be heard that
you may rest in peace.

formance. Trick horses, trained elephants,
performing wild animals, novel features,
great attractions, and thousand other sights

sings and conyerses, is one of its many unex-
ampled novelties. The oldest and largest
