Didn't Want the 800.

Editor COifur Chronicle:
In the Demands of two weeks ago
Clerk w. L. Shackelford publishes a
reply to the statement of II. G. Rogers,
in which he casts an unwarranted and
totally false imputation on myself and
j. II. Williams, by intimating that we
instigated Mr.. Rogers card. This state
ment was made by Mr.. Rogers more with
the view to do himself and the commun-
ity justice than from any solicitation of
interested parties. Mr.. Shackelford was
working for the railroad tax, and Mr..
Rogers knew he was deceiving the hill
people and pretending that be was
against it, anc Shackelford's position in
attempting to belittle Mr.. Rogers and
hide behind his affliction is cowardly and
contemplate. The truth of Mr.. Rogers
statement about Shackelford working
for the tax cannot be successfully denied.
and Shackelford has virtually admitted
its entire truth, Mr.. Editor, when he
failed to accept Your challenge to put up
800 as a forfeit if the charge could not
be proven. Respectfully,
r. w. HORN.

Here is Modesty for You.

When Mr.. Jno. A. Williams became a
candidate for the legislature he handed
in his resignation as member of the
board Of election supervisors. When
Mr.. w. w. Smith became a candidate
for sheriff he failed to show any modesty
on this score, but seems to be holding on
to his position as election supervisor in
the vain hope that it may be of personal
benefit to himself if he is suffered to
have voice in determining the final re-
suit. If Mr.. Smith is allowed to make
this breach of the proprieties in Grant
parish, ours will be the only parish in
the State where any such thing is per-
mitted.

We kept our columns open last
night to get a sight of the De-
mands, in order to see if there was
anything needing correction. One
d. B. Boyett, commonly known as
the Wild Ass from VIM, is out in
laundering TRADE against Judge
Wear that may lead some one into
believing that the Judge has had
a baby, but it amt SO! The cow
ardly animus of Boyett evidently
is to SANDER the Judge at time
and place when it can not be re-
piled to. but his censuring the
Judge for not hanging an accused
person on the finding of a coroner's
jury will hardly have any weight
with sensible people. The grand
jury refused to find a true
bill in this case. Also, he
censures the Judge because the
district attorney entered nolle
pros, when everybody that knows
anything at all knows the Judge
has no more power over the district
attorney entering a nolle pros than
he has over the action of a petit
jury.

do not grieve for her, only for ourselves.
She stood upon the rock. Her faith and
trust were sublime, her courage unfalter-
ing. She had meditated much Upon the
Bible teachings on heaven, and had
formed not materialistic but nome the less
real ideas OF her future home, and that
which "eye has not seen nor ear heard,
neither hath entered into the heart of
man." God revealed unto her ''by his
spirit."-1 Cor, 2:9-10.
Heaven became so familiar and real to
her that she thought of it az her future
home with real pleasure. God seemed to
lead her dow to the brink of the river of
death and allow her to linger there with
her loved ones, now getting visions of
hat glorious home, now conversiug and
communing with those on this side, hap
Ply, patient, ~contented, rejoicing in either.
1t was with rapturous delight that she
turned away from us, after having talked
TO US most beautifully, saying, 81 haven't
any more time for you now; here is a Wis
ion-ohl a beautiful halo OF light" And
after enjoying the vision, she said to us,
Eyes, Jesus is present with me indeed. |
shall soon drink of the pure water of life
as it flows right from the throne OF God.'
Then remarked to her pastor, e'There are
twelve gates to that city, but 1 have no
choice in entering them; yet l would love
to GO in at the one nearest the throne OF
God" These and very many more words
like them did she speak and visions did
she see.
Just before the sweet spirit took its
flight she sang through the hymn, "Shall
we gather at the rfver?" her children
joining in with her. She died with q
song gently languishing on her lips. She
died as she lived, in the triumphs OF
faith, in the old patriarchal style, leaving
blessings upon the heads of her children
and friends. No saint ever went more
t~riumphantly from this earth to heaven.
Mother, friend, we will meet you bye and
bye. w. L. COLE.
