WALTERS. = At her home in Grant
parish, La, on Wednesday, Feb. Is, 1898,
ETHEL WALTERS, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry r. Walters, departed this life
aged nine years.
Spring time comes with all its beauties,
but, alasl how soon must the sweetest
flowers fade. Thus has passed from
earthly scenes the sweet and loving little
the kind and afiectionate sis
ter. O, precious child, how many fond
will ever remain in memory
of you, who by your winning ways, sweet
temper and innocence, won the love and
affection of your little playmates and
those who knew you.
How sad it is to see your little ones
taken from you in their tender youth;
but our precious Savior always gathers
his flowers when they are the sweetest.
Dear parents, our Savior needed an
other bright jewel to help beautify His
home beyond, so He took your dear lit
tie one. We know thy rich paradise is
Holy Heaven. A1fectionate friend.

Persons who went to Pecos VAL
ley, New Mexico, during the past
winter, are already beginning to
give voice to their disappointment;
the first to return are Mr.. and Mrs.
W. E. Dickens, who arrived in AL
exandria from Eddy last week.
They report alkali water unfit to
drink, fuel scarce and very high,
climate cold and disagreeable, and
sand storms frequent and very dis
tressing. The alkali water is not
only unfit to drink, but it will not
wash we'll, chaps face and hands,
and is not good for plant life.
They say this country is good
enough for them, and it is a grand
mistake for any one to leave it and
go to New Mexico.

The steamer Dacotah has been
libeled in the U. s. district court
in New Orleans, by the mate T. j.
Morrow, and crew, whose claims
amounted to something over $1,000.
1t is said that the total claims
against the boat foot up nearly $40,
600, while she would not bring at
public sale more than $4,000. She
is owned by stockholders residing
principally in the Red River valley,
among them being Mr.. Jas. A.
Hyde, of this place, who has 5000
stock in her. The creditors can
hope to realize but little, while the
stockholders will lose all they have
put in the enterprise. The failure
of the scheme is a great loss to the
shippers OF Red river, and Capt.
Boardman and the gentlemen in
terested have the sympathy of the
entire country in the misfortune
which confronts them.

Despite the hard times, caused
by overflow and short crops for
the last two years, our people ap-
pear to have an abiding faith in
the recuperative capacity of our
wonderful country. We notice i'm
provements all along our river
front from the handsome residence
of Mr.. Heman Smith, near the
Boyce ferry, to Capt. c. H. Teal's
new store, in the Acme addition,
north of Colfax. Messrs. Dean &
Hickman, owners of the Raven
Camp plantation, have made sx-
tensive improvements along their
entire front, having built or remod-
elled no less than a dozen houses,
some of them being quite preten-
tious cottages, for thrifty white
tenants. The new cottage for Mr..
Fl. Eaterbrook, near the Colfax
landing, is about completed, and
he will move into it before long.

The Olympic club of New Or
leans is just now engaged in perpe-
trating disgrace on the State of
Louisiana, and doing untold injury
to its material and moral develop
ment. The infamy of permitting
the so-called "glove contests" in
which men are allowed to brutally
knock the life out of each other,
and in which the contest is only
ended by one of the parties being
rendered insensible, is q disgrace
that the next legislature should put
a stop to at once and forever. just
why Louisiana should permit
toughs to hold such a rendezvous,
when all the other States forbid it,
we cannot understand.
