DIED.

CRAVENS At Waco. Texas. at q
o'clock on the morning OF Dec. z. l896.
Mrs. Elizabeth G. Cravens, free Good
wynn relict of Rev. Nehemiah A. Crav-
ems. departed this life, in the 66th year
of her age.
Elizabeth Caroline Goodwin, daughter
OF Elizabeth Tarleton and Elias Goodwin,
was born Feb. 6. 1880, in Harrison coun-
ty. Indianna, and was one of family OF
ten children five boys and five girIs) all
of whom lived to be grown, married, and
have families OF their own. About 1850
she married Rev. N. A. Cravens, who was
for years member of the La. conference,
and afterwards transferred to the Texas
conference. As the wife of MIR. Cravens
she became the mother of seversl chill
dren, of whom Judge N. A. Cravens. edi-
tor and proprietor of the Willis (Tex.) In
dex, is the most noted now living.
She was an aunt to this editor of the
CoLFAx CHRONICLE, who has the most
vivid recollections of her loving and
kindly nature, having been thrown in her
charge at Alexandra, La, for several
months on the death Of our own mother
in 1861. AS helpmeet for her husband,
hers was splendid christian character,
as many OF the older people throughout
the State of Louisiana can testify. Her
lively sympathetic nature, toned and tenn
pered with the JOY and hope OF eternal
bliss, rendered her most acceptable
companion to old and young alike. She
died as she lived, in gentleness and peace,
and left halo of glory to comfort those
she leaves behind. May we all meet her
on the shores of the Beautiful River that
flows by the throne of God.

Education Begins to Tell.

A favorite claim among the blatant
demagogues who for the past few month.
have arrogantly pushed their Ignorance
and prejudice into prominence, is tina,
this is "a campaign of education" This
is very true, but not in the way they
would have us to accept the claim. The
people are beginning to un Understand tina,
they are only agitators for pelf and pow
er, and the general tendency is to sci
down on them.
One of the most remarkable changes OF
public sentiment along this line is to be
seen in Grant parish. Two short years
ago there were not half dozen men in
the parish who had the hardihood to op-
pose the Stree silver" fallacy, and this
editor alone had almost the entire brunt
of the battle to bear in advocacy of
Sound currency" By referring to the
proceedings of the Grant parish Demo
cratic convention. in another column,
it will be seen that, in representative
body of Democrats from all parts of the
parish, the strongest kind of gold bug"
resolutions were adopted. by vote of Is
to 3. while in the room at the same time
there were fully as many more Demo-
Gratis. who actively Endorsed and earnest
ly sympathis ed with the resolutions
adopted.
Gentlemen of the convention, we con-
graduate you upon your sensible, open
and manly stand; we feel that you are the
pioneers OF a grand and noble scheme Of
education, that is to enlighten the dark
and benighted minds of hundreds of our
good citizens, who only need to know
and understand the truth to accept it.
Let this good work go on, and even the
poor 1eluded editors of Town Talk, The
Comrade, Populist, and other superficial
writer's, will soon learn the error Of their
ways. and be induced to repent and be
saved from their folly.
