BENTON, LOUISIANA,
THURSDAY ,::::::::::::::MARCH IA, 1895
Plain Dealing Dots.

? There are only a few people, even
In Bossier, who know Of the beautiful
scenery just three miles west OF this
place. I had heard much of it, so I
saddled old "Dexter," took my little
daughter behind me snd rode in that
direction. Ibid not care much where
Invent to. I just went for ride. We
rode up hills end down hills until we
finally arrived on the top Of . hill, l
don't know how high, for I could not
zee the foot of it on the other side.
But stretching to the west and north
west, far below whers We stood, was
"Phelps Lake" a vast sheet of water
extending miles and miles away. We
enjoyed the scenery to our hearts con-
tent, then rode away promising our
selves that we would return some day
and take . boat ride, if we can find
any way to get to the water, and a
boat to ride in.
On the way we passed an old field
that had to all appearances been
turned out for many years In that
old field stood two large trees, under
whose welcome branches stood one
lone tombstone whose inscription
was to the memory of Benjamin and
Frances Ratcliff. aged one and seven
years, who departed this life. one in
1862, and the other in 1863. We
stopped and read the inscription, and
wondered, where are the parents Of
those two little children? who have
been in their graves since the dark
days of the war. We thought, may
be their father was q soldier and away
from home at the time of their death,
and their heart broken mother was
at home to grieve alone while the cold
clods OF earth were being poured ovel
their little forms.
When we pass that way again, VI
will stop to look upon that lone tomb
stone 90 far away from any public
burying ground, and think of the twt
little children sleeping 90 long il
that lonely spot.
