"UN1TED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL.
By request of the Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee of Bossier parish,
I respectfully ask the voters of the
parish to meet at the regular voting
places in their respective wards on
Thursday, Sept. "a, 1896, (being same
day of the primary and organize a
Bryan and Scwall club for each vot-
ing place, and I request the members
of the Executive Committee of the
different wards to assist in organizing
said clubs by having elected Presi-
dent, Vice President, Secretary and
Treasurer, the Secretary to enroll the
names of all voters who wish to join,
and report to me at Plain Dealing,
the names of the officers and their
post Office address, also the number
of members enrolled, and report at
the end of each week thereafter the
number of members enrolled during
the week.
I consider this a very important
matter, and hope each and every
voter who favors the free coinage OF
silver and the election OF William J.
Bryan as President, will attend and
enroll themselves as members.
It is necessary that we should go
to work in order to overcome the in.

CARELESS of the boilers, if each one
will put his shoulder to the wheel and

Death of Mrs. w. A. Thompson.

" Born in world where flowers of fairest hue
first fade away;
Herself a rose, she lived as roses debut for
day"
Died, Monday, September IA, at
8 p. M, Mrs. Mamie Meares Thomp-
son, beloved wife of Mr.. VIM. A.
Thompson, aged 10 years, months
and % days; a native of this parish.
Such is the brief announcement
of the fading away of one Of those
rare and lovely flowers which bloom
on earth only to wither and die, but
whose brief existence enables us to
form some conception OF their many
beauties when unfolded in the para
disc of God.
On May 10, 1895, the marriage of
Mr.. W. A. Thompson and Miss
Mamie Meares was solemnized.-
Mournful indeed has been the part
ing and severe the stroke which
severed the sacred tie binding these
two loving hearts. In every relation
of life, social and domestic, as wife,
daughter, sister, friend, Mamie was
estimable. Her genial and kindly
ways, and her pleasant and social
qualities made her many friends
with those with whom she came in
contact. In her sudden departure
many hearts were made to grieve,
but none felt the loss so keenly as
those who were near and dear to her.
To them it has indeed been bitter
cup of sorrow, and no pen can de-
scribe the grief that rends their
hearts. 1t was, indeed, a sad blow
to part from one so young and prom
Using, and those who saw the sad
faced, grief-stricken young husband
as he gazed for the last time upon
the beautiful face of his dear wife
cannot fail to be touched when they
recall the sad scene. We shall never
hear her voice any more, for the
echo of it has died out forever, and
} she has passed away and gone to
tlowery world of fadeless bloom,
where she is at rest.
On Tuesday afternoon her remains
, we're taken to Cottage Grove, whers
the funeral services were conducted
in most solemn and impressive
: manner by Rev. P. Fl. Hensley.-
After the services, all that was NOR
: tai of this estimable lady, was fol
lowed by very large concourse OF
! sorrowing relatives and friends to
her lasting place.

bill is a dead issue, a relic of the

Major Mckinley say something to
that effect in his recent address to
the notification committee. He
knows we'll enough that the force bill
is live thing in the remembrance of
the Southern people. His failure to
kill it is good evidence that he thinks
his party may have use for it in the
near future"
