The Populists in Winn parish
have at last named their parish
ticket as follows Representative,
D. E. James {; Clerk, R. G. Jones {;
Sheriff, j. H. Crawford, the lat

served tribute to Mr.. Crawford

nominated a good ticket and one
that will win. For Representative,
A. w. Stewart /; Clerk, w. L.
Shackelford; Sheriff, w. w.
Smith !; Coroner, DR.. Milton A.
Dunn. Of these Mr.. Shackelford
is for reelection and is splendid
selection.
The Elk. Com. of the Peoples
party of Ouachita, has called a
parish convention to meet IN Mon
roe, Dec. 2Sth, to select delegates
to our State convention. The Pop

urged to keep out of the Demo

to postpone the nomination of a

ruary next.

editor, and as we expected, be gets
up first class, newsy, orthodox

measure purified by the addition
of a large element of white peo-
pie from the Democratic ranks, it
desires by supporting the Peoples

the era of fraud and ballot thiev-

for the last 20 years.
We had expected much louder
and more numerous howls from

pie-counters, but the pie-eaters are
just now engaged in a very large
scuffle among themselves over the
denomination in the Democratic
party of their respective bosses,

The Closing of Prairie Hall School.

Last Friday, the 26th, was day OF
interest to the scholars and friends OF
George Seymour and the neighbors
showed their regard by coming out
with well filled baskets, and had one
of our Kansas dinners which speaks
for itself. There were forty at the
first table and thirty-six at the second
and some extras followed. Mrs. NJ. IL.

thanks to Divine Providence that they
were permitted to assemble another

This is the seventh term that
George has taught and he seems to
give general satisfaction. He has had
the scholars under his control SO long
that they mutually understand each
other. The teacher made each scholar
present of a nice book, a memento
that they can keep in years to come.

ed since the close of the war a new
generation has been growing into ma
turity. Should our old soldiers at
tend these exercises they will see
that the cause for which they fought
has not been forgotten and that our
young people delight to honor in this
memorial exercise, the most heroic
citizen soldiery the world has ever
seen.
In order to avoid any confusion by
late corners on Commencement night,
we earnestly request that there be no
late corners. We ask the friends to
make an especial effort to be in their
seats in the Opera House at o'clock
sharp. AS we expect our business
men to attend the exercises we re-
spectfully request of them that they
close places of business unusually
early upon that evening. Since Com
mencement is largely regarded as the
event in the school life of our chill
dren let us all work together to make
the coming occasion flawless.

Before midday host of old friends

the house and yard.

OBITUARY.

DIED: At his home in lola, April
18th, 1895, Lemuel Whitaker, aged 40
years, 3 months and II days.
Mr. Whitaker was born in Colches-
ter county Ohio, in 1924. removed TO
Muskingham county in 1847 and to
Carlyle, Allen county, Kansas, in
1869, where he has resided until COM
ing to lola a few years ago.
He was married to Miss Mary A.
Duval in lS49, and there were born to
them eight sons and two daughters,
of whom, but four sons and the widow
survive him, Reuben, in the State Of
Washington, Eugence, in Colorado,
DIR. Whitaker, of Colony, Anderson
county, and our fellow tOwnsman,
c. l.. Whitaker.
Mr.. Whitaker was singularly re-
served man, modest almost to diff
dence. He rarely volunteered his
opinions upon any matter under pub
lie discussion, but if questioned it was
soon made clear that he had them
and that they were formed intelli-
gently and held firmly. He was a
conspicuously honorable and upright
man and during the quarter of GEN.
tury we have known him we never
heard his character or his motives,
nor any act OF his criticised or con-
demned. Such record as that is a
proud legacy to leave.
The funeral services were held in
the Presbyterian church, of which
organization the deceased was a mem
Der for IS years, and were conducted
by the pastor, Rev. w. l.. Squier
The church was filled with Borrowing
and sympathizing friends, noticeable
among whom were many from Car
lyle, who felt in an especial manner
the loss of their old neighbor and
friend.
