In Mem0riam.
In Memoriam.

Fell asleep at his home in Plain Deal
ing, La, on January "A, 1900, Mr.. Wal
ter Boggs, youngest son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
S. J. Boggs; aged about 10 years.
Walter was good, noble and intelli-
gent young man. He will certainly be
missed among his many young friends
and dear relatives. II seems very hard
to US to part with dear Walter, but it
has been the Good Fathers win to take
from our midst our young friend. While
it seems hard to give him up, we know
that God doeth all things for the best,
and if we are faithful we viii meet with
this young friend in that world on high.
We monrn his death very much.
Don't weep, dear relatives, he is not
dead, but only sleepeth; he stands upon
the golden shore with beautiful, beckon-
ing hands calling the dear ones on earth
to heavenly homes. He has gone to
meet those dear. ones who have gone
before.
There are many heart felt sympathiea
for the dear mother who IL left to mourn
the loss OF her darling son, but she win
one day meet him . bright, shining an
gel in heaven.
May God bless the grieving ones left
to mourn the loss Of Walter.

trance to its eternal glories, surely
it must be the one who in it's life
on earth strove hardest to aid the
weak, to shelter the defenceless,
to tighten the burdens of the
heavy-laden, and who brought
the most smiles and fewest tears
into this world. After q life well
spent, with every duty performed,
his noble soul has found eternal
rest amid the scenes of its crea-
ton, in the presence of its God.
We shall see James Cabeen no
more with our mortal eyes. He
is gone from the places of earth
to the higher realms of immortal
ity. He is lost to country, home
and friends. We will follow him;
he will return no more to us. AS
long, however, as memory treas
ures up pure lives and faithful
public service; as long as public
and private virtue, stainless and
without blemish, is revered, 80
long will his name be cherished
by our people. A marble monu-
ment may lift it's head toward
heaven in memory of his good
name, but q monument more
precious to his memory and more
valuable to the world has already
been founded in the hearts of the
people whom he served so faith
fully and so well.
"The sweetest lives are those to duty
wed,
Whose deeds, both great and small,
Are close knit strands of an unbroken
thread,
Where love ennobles all.
The world may sound no trumpets, ring
NO bells,
The Book of Life the shining record
tells"
The remains Of deceased were
buried at Cottage Grove ceme-
tary Tuesday afternoon in the
presence Of a very large number
Of sorrowing friends. The SER
vices were conducted by Rev. P.
H. Hensley, assisted by Rev. w.
A. Zeigler.

MORAL ENLIGHTENMENT.

The nineteenth century is singu.
lar and unique in many things His
tory must record it as one Of the
most remarkable in the annals OF civ
ilization. Discoveries in the arts and
sciences have literally blazed along
its pathway and should they continue
in the same ratio for another century
the end Of that period will reveal
wonderful possibilities in life and en-
joyment. Bnt underneath all the
gilded masni6cence Of the age there
are radical evils which are sapping
and running the health and prosper
ity of humanity. Under the fields
rich with the golden harves.s Of in
dustry and knowledge there are vol
canic ires gathering volume which
threaten to break out and destroy
the hopes and even lives Of millions
With patient and untiring zeal sci
ence is ransacking the darkest hooks
of matter and coming back laden
with discovered jewels before whose
dazzling glories all humanity bows
in astonishment and even alteration.
The moral being Of men is drowning
in food Of material wealth and even
the rumbling thunders Of the social
istic earthquake, perhaps nearer at
hand than wo think, fall upon senses
too dull to be awakened by ordinary
means.
The mountains are penetrated and
from their strong hearts are wrested
treasures compared to which the ac-
cumulations Of other ages sink out OF
sight. The valleys. plains, the subter-
ranean depths Of the earth aud those
OF the ocean itself nre searched with
like results. The secret forces of
nature are being daily captured and
harneseed to the uses and abuses Of
mankind, and yet it is question if
as yet material advances have been
made in real happiness or wealth.
Year BY year our cities grow 10 ex-
ternal opulence and beauty, but year
BY year grows the great army Of pro-
letaires, ground into brutality by
social sel6shness and indifference, re-
pressed and restrained like beasts il
iron cages by force only, with each
turn in the wheel Of time becoming
more hopeless and. if not despairing,
looking upon the few who own the
world with ravenous eyes, ready at
the FIRST opportunity to slay, burn
ann pillage without remorse, because
without moral enlightenment Not
only is this true Of cities, but ever,-
where throughout the land the
growth Of this dangerous class is
stimulated BY social policy founded
only upon the Law Of supreme selfish
ness. which gives the wealth and lux
ury wruDg By toll from natnre only

Death Of Mr. J. h. Cabeen.

1900, at 3:15 p. H., aged IS years,
5 months and Is days.
Mr.. Cabeen was born at Winns-
boro, South Carolina, August 2,
1885, and came with his parents
to this parish in December, 1865,
where he made his home until his
death. Last summer he went to
Western Texas for the benefit of
his health, but the disease with
which he was afflicted was against
his recovery, and last Saturday
evening he passed peacefully
away, cognizant of his end and
meeting it with the fortitude of
one who had done his part bravely
and worthily and was satisfied to
leave the rest to his Maker. He
was Deputy Clerk and Deputy
Sheriff of Bossier parish for about
sixteen years. Held clerical po-
sitions in the House of Represen-
tatives and State Senate of Lou
isana for number of years, and
was Secretary of Bossier Levee
Board from its organization until
his death. He was married to
Miss Kate Scanland, at Bellevue,
November 80, 1892.
In the death of Mr.. Cabeen the
parish loses one of its most useful,
active and honored citizens
More than this, every man, wo-
man and child with whom he had
more than a casual acquaintance,
will feel that they have lost a dear
friend, one whose special charm
of mind, heart and manner is
rarely found. To these the an
nouncement of the death Of j. II.
Cabeen came as shock, and they
felt that they had suffered per-
sonal loss.
The career of Jim Cabeen, as
he was familiarly known to his
friends, presents q striking ex-
ample of the success that may be
won by dint Of honesty, industry,
courage, tact and intelligence
He worked his way up from the
very humblest beginnings until he
became one of the most influential
men in this parish, and was quite
popular throughout the State
No man has served in official life
in Bossier parish who has left q
better name than James H. Ca
been. His personal or official
character was never assailed.-
His public duties were met with
singular devotion. He was in
habit and taste courteous and
thorough. No man in public life
was more devoted to duty or la
bored so Increasingly for the best
interests of the country as he saw
them. His constitution, though
weak, seemed to defy fatigue, and
his alert, well-regulated mind
was ever active. He never al
lowed his energies to falter. He
was an earnest toiler and not an
idler, and his work was never
sighted. His unselfsh regard for
duty only ceased when the grim
destroyer, consumption, drove him
from the post of duty he loved so
we'll, when the slender cord snap
ped and he entered on his perfect
rest.
A man OF pure purpose, pure
thoughts, and pure life, he went
down to his grave loved, trusted
and mourned by his people. In
every relation of life he rose to
the fullest measure of. exalted
manhood. A better son, more
affectionate husband and father,
q truer friend and more jealous
official never lived or died among
us. A good man has been taken
from among us, but there is naught
left for us to mourn except his
absence. His LIES labors were
well done. His name will be hon
ored by those who follow him.
For his future we do not fear
