Death of Jos. 6. Gibbs.

Oar community was painfully shock
ed on Thursday morning by the sad in
telligence of the death of District Attor-
ney Jos. G. Gibbs, of Lake Charles,
which occurred the day before in the
parish of Caleasieu. 1t seems that
while out hunting in the parish of Ca
meron he was accidentally shot by one
Of his friends. Placed at once on a
small steamer bound for Lake Charles,
he died on the way a few hours after
being shot. The remains were brought
to Opelousas at 8 o'clock Friday morn
ing, and at 8 o'clock in the evening
he was tenderly laid away amid the
scenes which charmed his childhood's
happy hours and claimed a warm place
in his heart up to the day of his tragic
death Everybody here, in the place
of his birth, liked Joe aud was proud
Of him and when the last sad honors
were paid to him, all the places of busi-
ness, agreeably to the Mayors request,
were closed the Hope Hook g. Ladder
Co., of which he WAS a member, the To-
cal fire companies, a delegation of Pyth-
ians from Lake Charles, all in uniform,
stood beside his bier and the whole
community seemed anxious to pay trib.
ute to his memory. His death is a ter.
rible blow to his family, and especially
to his aged father who idolized him.
and to them all we tender our most sin.
cere sympathy.
Mr., Gibbs was not quite 30 years old,
and q future full of promise lay before
him.
Sad it is, oh how sad to think of it

creased charge of the pension list will
hardly DO adopted, though it would be
simply an act of justice to the masses
of the people. The South, says Mr..
Oates, pays s5O, co. 600 of the $780,.
100000 annually spent for pensions, of
which perhaps not over 81 ,OO0, 900
returns to us. In other words, the
poorest section of the Union in accu-
mulated wealth pays a tribute of SS49,-
100000 q year to the richer section,
that amount going from the South
through the pension Office to the ex.
soldiers and ex. sailors of the North.
The wonder is that we can stand the
drain without bankruptcy and ruin.
II pension revenues were raised by
taxes on incomes, a very small part Of
the money would be derived from the
South, and the wealth of the North
would mainly bear the burden.
