Little Ellis was between s and 9
years old, and was his mothers dar.

low, always obedient, and that he
should have gone to the place where
soon afterward his body was to be
found cold and numb, was indeed a
terrible shock and surprise to his
mother, sister and brothers. He
met the most horrible of deaths, the
one most appalling, viz by drown
ing, and his fate should be a lesson
to all the little boys who go swim

His funeral took place Wednes-

SOME weeks back, Bro. Por-
ter Of the Natchitoches Revie.e,
wishing to obtain the views of the
people of Rapides in regard to the
prohibition of whiskey, addressed a
letter to a gentleman here which
contained different questions which
he wished answered in order that
he might publish the same, so as
to let Natchitochians read of the
good results in our Parish since pro-
hibition had been started. The
letter was answered and sent back
to Mr.. Porter, and contains the sig
nature of quite a number of our
best and most influential citizens.
They, in their reply, state Chat
the general effects of prohibition in
this Parish are such as to meet the
warmest anticipation of the friends

true that it has enabled the veal
thy planters of this Parish who were
able to keep whiskey to control on
that account a larger share of labsr
to the prejudice of small farmers;"
"that it has effected sweeping re-
duction of the criminal calendar is
a fact that is not questionable here
aud a public statement to this effect
was made by the District Attorney
at the last setting of the criminal
term of the District, Court )" its eff
fects on the colored population of
the Parish in every aspect Of the
question has been most beneficial !"
and "lastly that it is not true there
is more whiskey daank here than
previous to temperance legislation"
All of which no one can deny, and
in which we are bound to concur.

DROWNED WHILE BATHING.

element over the reported news of
the death by drowning of little Ell
lis White, youngest son of Mrs.
Norman White, who but a few
months ago moved with her family
to Alexandria, occupying a house in
the Fourth Ward.
From circumstances connected
with the affair, together with testi-
mony adduced from the examiua-
ton of witnesses at Justice Whit
tington's Court the morning after
the horrible occurrence, (but which
in some respects is confiicting,) it
was learned that Ellis, accompa-
MED by three of his schoolmates,
Eddie Lynch, Emile and Benny
Schmalinski, the two former being
his senior in years, left the public
school house during recess at noon
to go up to the bayou for the pur-
pose OF swimming. One Of the boys
examined Nynch) says that Ellis
proposed to 60 in the bayou, add
ing that he could swim, and that he
had previously been in with his
older brother, Norman. The other
boys acceded, and the quartette all
stripped, Ellis, however: being the
first in the water. Emile says that
after Ellis had undressed and gone
in the water that Lynch went in
second, and took Ellis by the arm
-Lynch denies this)-saying that
he would learn him how to swim,
and took him out in the bayou and
let him go, and then swan back to
shore. Lynch testifies that as soon
as he saw that Ellis could not swim
he told to stay near the shore with
the Schmalinski boys. Ellis, he
says, did not pay any attention to
him, but kept out in the bayou
After Ellis had gone out over his
head Lynch says he tried to catull
him, but in vain, and then he got
"foothold," showed himself little
and swan to shore.
Both boys testify that Ellis rose
three times, but that he said moth
ing; after which Emile says he
went on top the bank and called
Major Raxsdale, who failed to hear
the call.
After the drowning the clothes
and hat of Ellis were hid, the for
NOR under the bayou bank in some
bushes, a short distance from where
the boys had been swimming, and
the latter in the hay field near Mr..
Kerrigan's. Emile again says that
Lynch proposed the hiding of the
clothes and hat, for the reason that
he did not want anyone to know of
the drowning. Lynch gives as his
reason for hiding the clothes and
hat that if his grandfather found
out that he had been in the bayou
he would beat him to death.
The body was recovered about s
o'clock, having been drawn out Of
the bayou by Mr.. VIM. Webster,
who was compelled to dive for it,
it being in water ten feet deep
The place was pointed out by Ben
ny Schmalinski, he having been
prevailed upon by his uncle, Mr..

Ar the meeting of the citizens

June 18th, to. take steps in the mat
ter of receiving the remains of the

which are to be brought from New

piled with. 1t was impossible at that day
to transport corpse from Smithfeld to
Tinkling Spring. He was buried near the
spot where he "resigned his last breath, :"
and his grave was covered with loose stones.
There is no slab nor inscription. An idle
report arose that a large amount of money
was buried with the body, and the grave
was desecrated by vandals in search of the
treasure.
MIR. Craig's successor at Thinking Spring
was the Rev. Dir. James Waddell. He
bought the Springhill estate, then consist
ing of 1903 acres, from William and James
Thompson, and lived there during his resi-
dence in the county. Two deeds were ex-
ecuted, one by each of the grantors, in ITS,
and tbs price naz e100O [$3. 3333.]
After DR.. Waddell had removed from the
county, he conveyed, in 1791, the Spring
hill tract proper, $40 acres, to James Powell
Cooke, in consideration of e1O50 T$3.500. ];
and in 1903, he conveyed most Of the re-
mainder of the tract, called Ground Mea-

$1,000 $4,000

Gen. Robert Porterfeld, and Mrs. Carter

years, and was one Of the first Trustees of

1898, he conveyed Springhill to John Swish.

1t is interesting to observe the enhance
ment of price-for $40 acres, $500, in
1901; IS, 333, 335I, in 1898; and $13,7OO in

A BIT OF EXPERIENCE.

l have met with good many people
In jogging DER life's varied way;
I've encountered the clever, the simple,
The Grabbed, the grave, and the gay;
1 have Travelled with beauty, with virtue,
1 have been with the ugly the bad,
have laughed with the ones who were merry
And wept with the ones who were sad.
One thing 1 have learned in my journey
Meier to judge one by what he appears.
The eyes that seem spark ling with laughter
Oft battle to keep back the tears,
And long sancIimonious faces
Hide often the souls that are vile,
While the heart that is merry and cheerful
Is often the freest from guile.
And I've learned not to look for perfection
In one of our frail human kird,
In hearts the most gentle and loving
Some blemish of fault we can find,
But yet have ne'er found tha creature
So low, SO depraved or so mean,
But had some good impuse-some virtue
That 'mong his bad traits might be seen.
And, too, have learned that most friendships
We make are as brittle as glass.
Just let a reverse overtake us
Our friends on the "other side" pass,
But, ah have found some few loyal
Some hearts ever loving and true!
And the Joy and the peace they have brought
me
Have cheered me my whole journey through

DELIN QUENT SUBsCRIBERs.-The
Charleston CIV. Va.) Times says
eff the fact could be impressed upon the
minds ofthose who read country newspapers
and who would not do without them for
twice the amount of money they cost-that
rural journalism is just as much of bust
ness enterprise as banking, merchandising
such items as we have copied from our
newsy contemporary would not often he
seen.
A great many people have yet to learn
that a country newspaper editor has as much
right TO expect that the money due him on
subscriptions will be paid promptly as if the
Indebtedness had been contracted in the pur-
chase Of bodily comforts.
Subscription accounts-unless their pay
ment is indefinitely postponed-are for
small sums, which is one ofthe most cogent
reasons for their early settlement.

Nervousness,

The moment there is danger of impair
ment oft mind4f-om excessive nervous
exhaustion, or where there exists fore
bodlngs OF evil, a desire for solitude,
stunning and avoiding company, vertigo
and nervous debility, or when insanity
has a.rea4y taken place, PERUNA and
MANALIN should be implicitly relied on.
But 1t Is never well to wait SO long before
treatment is commenced. The early
symptoms are loss of strength, softness
OF the muscles, dim or weak sight, pecu-
liar expression of the face and eyes,
coated tongue, with impaired digestion
or in Others, certain powers only are lost
while they are otherwise enjoying COM
Paratively good health. In ali these Pc

taken.

SKETCH OF LORD WoLsELEY.-Lord
Wolseley, commander-in-chief of the Brit
ish forces in the Soudon, was born in coun-
ty Dublin, ireland, in 1888. His full name
is Garnet Joseph Wolseley. Entering the
British army in 1852, he served in Burmah,
in the Crimea, in India during the Sepoy
mutiny, and in China in 1860. For several
years after 1867 he was stationed in Cana
da, and was knighted for his services in
suppressing the Red River rebellion. In
cessful conclusion, and was made major
general and knight commander of the Bath.
He succeeded Lord Chelmsford as COM
mander in-chef in Zululand, and reduced
King Cetewayo to submission. In 1889 he
was appointed to the command of the Eng
lish forces in Egypt, and after short, but
rnrilliant campaign, put an end to the re-
heliion 1..rahi Pasha. In private letter
from the Soudan recenry,--sr.-l ~
is quoted as saying: 81 have =

colonel, made the acquaintance of Gen.
Robert E. Lee in his camp during the peri

What Senator Bayard Says.

In recent conversation, in speaking of
the incoming administration, Senator Bay
ard is reported to have said:-
'It will be confronted by the gravest
difficulties. The Republicans have left us
heritage of great evils. They have dis
posed of nothing. They have put off and
put off. Their policy has been one of un-
interrupted postponement. They have
not settled the currency question; they is
sue promise to pay and take that promise
up with another promise to pay. They
have not settled the silver question. They
have not removed the outrageous wrongs
of the tariff. They have done nothing for
American shipping. They have left us
the wreck of navy. The new Admins
tration must undertake to dispose of the
problems arising out of this condition of
things. How it shall proceed is momen-
tous question. If it is to be controlled by
political tyranny such as that which has
held sway OF recent years, it will soon sink
and go to ruin, and it ought to. Unless it
is to occupy higher ground in this respect
than those Administrations that have re-
Gently preceded it, want nothing to do
with it. | have been here and know how
things have been done. Ihave seen the in
