A Strangers Impressions of
Lake Charles.

|
These impressions of the young but
vigorous and beautiful city Of Lake
Charles, may be erroneous and en-
tirely ont of place; yet it is believed
that such will be the impressions"
made upon every observant stranger by
this city by the Lake shore.
Lake Charles, the shire town of
Calcasieu parish, is situated upon a
beautiful plain east of the Calcasieu
river, and contiguous to the charming
Lake (Charles) made by said river.
The town is handsomely laid off with
wide streets and blocks, and the build
ings, both for residence and business,
are in many instances handsome. The
business houses are in the main, large
and cOmmodious, while the stocks of
goods carried would show we'll in a
much larger city. Many of the dwell
ings are elegant structures, and most
Of the homes of the city evince culture
and taste of high order. The streets
are naturally good-the best of natural
roads-but the drainage is in many
places sadly neglected. This neglect
of drainage has, in numbers of places,
made the streets that would otherwise
be charming highways unsightly and
even loathsome. How people, evinc-
ing SO much of taste and culture in
the arrangement and keeping Of their
dwellings and premises, can stand the
condition of some of the streets and
crossways is, to say the least, strange.
The business men Of the city are
live, enterprising and wide-awake, but
at the same time are polished and
pleasant gentlemen. The officers of
the city and parish are able and eff
cient in their respective spheres, and
are all cOurtly and genial, evidently
ito the manner born"
The city is both old and young, and
this seeming paradox is easily ex-
planned. Old Lake Charles was one
of the ante-bellum and one Of the ante
railroad towns, while the present town
is only about four years old This
entire region was until the opening Of
the Louisiana Western Railway, few
years since, a terra incognitG to the
outside world, generally, but it did not
escape the blight of the reconstruction
era. The building of the railroad
brought men with capital, brains and
energy, to all of Southwestern Louis-
i 1 1.

MOORE-On Saturday January 81, 1885,
at 1870 O'Clock p. m, Emily Rebecca John
son, wife of Riley Moore, aged 80 years.
Vernon Condenser will please copy.
COLE.-At Hickory Flat, Calcasieu parish,
La, on January "a, 1885, Mrs. Lucy c. Cole,
wife of J. B. Richerson, aged 20 years, z
months and 9 days.
sIMMoNS.-At his residence, in Calcasieu
parish, La, on Wednesday, Jan. Is, 1885, at
8 o'clock q. M, William Simmons, aged 81
years, nine months and 10 days.
The deceased has been, for more than sixty
years past, resident Of this parish, and for
clear and unclouded reputation, as a citi-
zen of undertaking rectitude, he was GER
tainly a star example. Dealing justly with
all mankind, mistreating none, and ever ex-
tending liberal hand of friendship to each
and every one with whom he met, he was
known only to be loved and esteemed for
his many virtues, His suffering was short,
his departure quiet. From the first attack,
which came with suddenness, he was never
able to utter a word. An aged and grief
stricken wife, sons and daughters, many
grand children, and other relatives are left
to mourn his loss. Natures tie is strong, our
sympathies are pierced, and our minds are
overwhelmed with sorrow but to the bereaved
we would say;
Though grief and sorrow us surround,
And many earthly pleasures drown,
Wen yield to Christ aud bid farewell
For He dOeth all things well.
For him we hold In love so dear,
Affection sheds mOuTnful tear;
But let us hope bereaf is given,
That him we all may meet in heaven.
