IN MENIORIAM.

Died. at his home in Colfnx, La, on
Thursday, March %, 1900, Walter l..
Shackelford, aged 80 years, / month
and 20 days, a native of Grant par
ish and clerk of the district court for
many years.
The above lines contain more OF in
terest to the community than one
would suppose at first reading them.
Walter Shackelford was the peer of
any man in his parish, and away
above the average intellectually OF
most young men born and reared in
this his native State, which was ut
tested by the overwhelming majorities
given him at every election by his fell
iow-citizens for the position he occu-
pied when the cruel reaper called him
to another sphere. Ever kind and
obliging and at all times ready to
serve the people and defend their
rights. it may be truly said that
Grant parish has lost a most useful
citizen. and his family and relatives
their dearest treasure.
he was devotedly attached to his
family, bis political convictions and
his native town. and for their adj
vaneement and in their defense. he
was ever willing to risk andencounter
any peril. In social circIes Walter
Shackelford was conspicuous figure.
Gifted with wit and intellectuallity.
he was a favorite with all. He was a
member Of the Knights of Honor and
took great interest in the success of
his lodge.
But, alas! the Divine Ruler saw fit
to remove him from his sphere Of use
Iulness on earth and transfer him to
fields OF labor beyond the skies, where
his spirit now scars around the throne
Of his Redeemer, CARRIED in the habili-
ment of purity and love, there await
ing the arrival of the dear friends and
relatives left behind.
Rest in peace. Walter. L. d. p.
