ASHAMED OF THEIR PARENTS

Written for the Banner-Democrat.
The anxieties, the self-sacriiices and
the labor required to bring up child.
rem, are SO lncessant that q mother
once said: Between the plague OF
their living and the fear of their dy-
ing, we die daily" Yet how migrate
full are the majority of children!
They do not keep track of the times
when they were sick aud when their
parents lowered around them, night
and day, sleepless and anxious, watch
ing their every look and movement,
and nursing them back to health aud
strength.
They dc not think of the labors of
their fathers and mothers TO earn
food aud clothes and shelter for them,
for leu, fifteen, twenty years-money
that, If ii had been saved, would have
provided a competence for the old
folks in their last days.
They do not appreciate the plan
nings. the considerations, the sacri-
fees that were made by.their parents
to give them an education and to pro-
vide the accomplishments of which
they are now so vain.
They are ashamed of their homely
and illterate father and oftheir wrink-
led and ailing mother. They blush
for the hard hands, or the bent back,
or the wasted form Of their progen-
itors. They refuse to be seen with
them on the streets, to accompany
them to church, to take them to any
place ofpublic resort. They forget that
all they have-life and beauty and
learning, accomplishments and other
goods-they owe directly or indi-
rec,ly to their fathers and mothers.
AS God has promised to those child
rem who honor their parents that they
shall have length of days, SO lie shall
chastise those persons who treat their
fathers and mothers with indignity,
somewhat as He will discard those
who despise Him on earth: @Who-
ever" He said, 'shall be ashamed of
me before men, viii be ashamed of
him before my Father who is in
Heaven"

A Cyclone at Omega.
Special to Commercial Herald.


Omega, La. Dee. 10-A cyclone
struck Omega at s O'Clock last night.
doing great destruction to property
within its path. Several negro cabins
were unroofed and blown down, the
occupants, however, escaped unin-
jured. The store of j. H. Gilfoil is a
mass of ruins. having been blown
from eight-foot brick pillars, crashing
to pieces when it struck the ground.
The stock was almost totally destroyed.
Mr.. Gilfoil's son aud Mr.. James Lynch
were in the store aud barely escaped
before the building went down. His
fine saddle horse was under the store
and was Instantly killed. Mr.. GiIfoil
estimates his loss on store, stock and
crop at 5000. There is great de-
struction to cotton in the field. It
was blown out and beaten into the
ground. Several houses on The holland
place were blown down. This is the
first visit of a cyclone to our quiet
little neighborhood and we trust it may
be the last.
The Banner-Democrat extends its
sincere synspathies 10 Col j. H. GiItoil
IN the seryere losses be sustained.
