Died at Lake Charles.

We are called upon to announce the sad
death of Charles Caldwell. son of Geo. w.
and a brother of Vernon and Miss Linnie,
which took place Tuesday afternoon at /
O'Clock. The deceased was suffering from
typhoid fever, and as he gradually got
better, q relapse set in, and he was taken
away to join the happy throng on the
celestial shore. He was raised in the vi
of Abbeyille, and was we'll and
favorably known. Few thought, Judging
from his strong and robust appearance,
that at the age of 90, he would be called
away, but such is the order of an Allwise
Creator.
1t is sad indeed that our community
must record the death of such anoble and
respected young man. BY occupation he
was d brick mason, and assisted in build
ing the Wise block. He moved to Lake
Charles some 5 years ago., and he leaves
to mourn his untimely death, q wife and
one child. He. was d member of the
Masonic Fraternity, knights of Pythias
and Knights of Honor.
The remains arrived on the Wednesday
evening train, and about 400 friends of
the deceased were present to paw their
last tribute of respect to one that was
loved by all. The remains were escorted
from Lake Charles by committee from the
Masonic fraternity, and also by a commit
tee from the Masonic lodge of Abbeville.
The Masonic order had charge Of the
funeral, and he was laid TO rest accord
ing to their beautiful burial ritual, which
is very solemn and impressive. Judge
Allen presided and read the Masonic
burial service in his usual and impressive
style. Alas, my brotheri

Death of Caesar EH. R1eGEaeaec
Last Monday Morning.

y VOICE. We lUFSl Is SblIltu,
A place is vacant in eur home
Which never can be filled.
God in His wisdom has recalled
The boon His love had given;
And though the body meulders
The soul is safe in heaven
Never in the History Of our beautiful
little town has so much gloom and sorrow
being cast over it, than has been in the
| death of the above named young man. A
young man with a bright future, and at
an age when one looks to a season of
longevity. But, we know not the time,
| nor the place, when mans career on this
earth must close. He had many friends
here, and all over the parish who are
deeply grieved over his early demise.
Grown from infancy among US, and of o
quiet and u~nassuming disposition, he was
admired and respected by all. In COM
pany, he was cheerful, pleasant, steady
in habits, and of a high intellectual tai
community very much, when it is known
| that 2 brothers, a sister and a mother are
bed-ridden with the same sickness that
ne died of, namely, typhoid fever.
Yet, a grave is a grave, it matters not
whether it be III the bosom of a marble
mountain, or under the shadow of q haw-
thorn tree. The same sombre silence, the
same solemn mystery, inhabits them
both. Coffin lids are writ all over with
mystic symbols, the inscrutable cannot
read. The whitening hand of eternity's
dark angel is at every latch airing, castle
and cottage, prince and peasant, he visits
them all.
He is dead. Many will miss HING YET
his tenderness, his affection in theii
hearts implore the passing tribute of
sigh. He will suffer no more thess TEN,
poral pains. IT'S better so.
The remains were laid to rest in the
Catholic cemetery Monday evening. fol
lowed by a large c%oncourse of friends, thu
funeral procession starting frem the resi-
uence of Mr.. G. B. Shaw.
Requiescat in pace.
