HON. LEWIS E. TExADA.

gulsled 1ell0W-cltlzen, hon. Lewis
Texada, at his residence in this
} Parish on Saturday last. He died
suddenly Of disease Of the heart,
and the dread summons came with
out warning. To a man who had
lived the just and upright life he
1 had, it could not have found him
unprepared, however unexpected it
came.
| He was inferred in the family
burial ground on Sunday afternoon,
and his remains were accompanied
to their last resting place by a large
concourse Of neighbors and friends
who had gathered to pay their last
mark Of respect and love.
A most beautiful and impressive
service was held by Mr. Blocker,
Assistant to the Rector Of St.
James Episcopal Church at this
place, and then q large delegation
Of Masons, Of which order the de-
ceased was an honored member,
took charge of the services and
buried him with the honors and &C
cording to the solemn and appro-
pirate ceremonies of their order. He
was honored and respected for his
uprightness of character, strict
sense Of honor and faithful dis
charge of all the highest duties Of
life.
Mr.. Texada was not quite sixty
six years of age at the time Of his
death. He was son of Captain
John Texada, who was one Of the
earliest settlers in this Parish, and
had lived all his, life here. AS a /
youth he was educated at the Uni
versity of Virginia, where he car
ried away high honofs and returned
home to study law. He obtained
his license as an attorney at law, |
after thoroughly qualifying himself,
but did not long practice his pro-
fession-preferring, no doubt, the
more quiet and peaceful life of a
planter. he had in that pursuit
amassed fortune, when the War
came and left him as it did MANY
others, to cope with e changed con-
dition of affairs. Except such of
his time as was given to the public
service he devoted his last years to
the rearing and education of his
children, and in the enjoyment of
such happiness as only can come
to the head of an honorable and in
teresting family, such as surroun-
ded him.
He entered into political life
when a young man and was fitted
by his talents for the leadership in
that sphere where his abilities
were universally recognized and
conceded. Our information as to
the public positions held by him
does not extend prior to the civil
war. Since that time he has repre-
sented this Parish in the Legisla-
ture, and he was the trusted leader
Of the State Senate during the term
Of Gov. Nichols. At the State
Convention which nominated Gov.
Wilt he came within four votes of
receiving the nomination for Lieu
tenant Governor. He filled with
and credit other public

OH That Editor.

Editor Bray of the Waverly Free Press
| under the above head relates ia the follow.
ing interesting manner some of the trials
and tribulations of an editor:
OF all men living, the editor seems to be
| the one most loved, most hated, most
cursed, most praised, most envied, and
most traduced. If he gives an unbiased
opinion on any subject, it is no sooner in
print than part Of the people are criticising
and condemning, and part are uphold.
ing him in his views. If he neglects to
give all the news whether it be that which
would carry gladness to the hearts of many
| or darkness into the lives of some, he is ac
cused of being afraid to give facts, and let
the people judge for themselves of the
merits of the case. If pcrchance, some
question is raised in the village where hi
resides, that he must needs have something
to say, pro or con. he at once begins an ex
haustive search to ascertain the bottom
facts; and after satisfying himself as t
the true standing of matters, he then at
tempts to give the facts as he has learned
them, and ten chances to one if he is no
asked to rectify an imaginary wrong, anC
II he calls for facts is given a diatribe, ex
pecting of course, that the editor is to pub
lish it and shoulder the responsibility. Blu
few,-we may safely say not one in fifty
know how difficult it is to publish papel
and avoid making bitter enemies Scarcely
a day or week passes but the attention o
an editor is called to acts of people
which were they brought before the pub
lie would keep the kettle of scandal turbu
lent
| The editor must at all times exercise hi
prcrogative irrespective of friend or foe b,
it one of pleasure or pain, and declare
for that which he deems right and just, bt
1t for one or many, nor must he be in th,
least trammeled in the exercise of his opin
ion, either for or against.
The life of an editor is, in many respects
one of continual watchfulness aud anxiety
for he has all classes to deal with, and III
neus, being as it is, composed mostly about
people and their doings, he is constantly
writing about his fellow-man, and evel
anxious not to do him wrong. Many
seem to think the reverse, and fly into q
passion if their names appear in print, ant
threaten dire vengeance and a suit for libe
on the unlucky individual who dares tc
connect their names with any thing that
savors of wrong, even be they ever so
guilty.
True there is much connected with edi-
torial work which is enjoyable but few,
very few, know the amount of care exer.
cised by every editor to avoid making enc
mics, but many times justice points the
way for him to pursue, and ere he is aware
he has transformed dear friend into bit
ter enemy y,and it may be,by telling the sim
| pie truth.

MAY 23, 1884.
Saratoga is putting on its summer garb.
Eight days ago there was snowy hail
storm, and an overcoat was comfortable
with winter clothing. Now summer reigns,
though the trees are far from being in full
foliage.
This is the paradise of paint and putty.
House cleaning is never complete without
the painter, and so everything looks al
ways fresh and new. The process of
cleaning up the large hotels is just begin
ming, and the girls and men will soon be
ilocking into town for that purpose The
hotels here are enormous, though their Ca
pacity is usually ovcrrated. The Grand
Union is said to accommodate 2500 CUES s,
but to do so it must put great many of
them in "anncxes." 1t is said that this
hotel has laid in already $50, 900 worth of
provisions to start with.
The prosperity of Saratoga does not de-
pend on mere fashion. There is something
in the air which cannot be bottled up and
carried away like the water of the springs
an eXhlaratiDg and tonic influence,
which accounts for its popularity. This,
as well as its ability to accommodate large
numbers OF people out of "the season."
makes it favorite resort for conventions.
The Presbyterian General Assembly is
drawing near its close. 1t has had nearly
600 members, and at least AS many more
have been here as spectators, and large
number of ladies coming to attend their

power for good The ladies enjoy them
greatly and go home with increased enthu-

Rev. II. j. Williamson killed himself by
taking dose of prussic acid, at Chilli
cothe, Mo-, last week. He was at one
time rector of an Episcopal church at
Wilkesbarre, aud was forced to leave there
by grossly immoral practices. He then
studied medicine and went to Milwaukee
to practice, but was not successful. In
1880 his wife left him and went to Massa-
chusetts where she still resides. About
that time he went to Moberly, and from
there to Chillicothe, where he became pas
tor of Baptist church. Last November
he married Miss Jameson, and his first
wife started proceedings for divorce.
This, with many other facts, coming to
the knowledge of the elders, they called
him before them and his resignation was
accepted. On the evening of the same day
he committed suicide.
