Obituary.

HoLLIs.-Thursday Dec. 18th, 1900,
Bro. J. L. Hollis ente red into rest.
He was member of the First Baptist
ehrroh, Of Waco, Texas, having been
a student OF. Baylor University.
Bro. Hollis was elected class President
Of the class of 1900, but two months be-
fore his graduation his health failed and
he was forced to leave school.
No means or skill was spared, but all
in vain. 1t was not my privilege to know
him until about three weeks before. his
death, when he came TO San Antonio, to
enjoy our climate and to be treated by
specialists.
visited him almost daily, and was
with him when the end came. | never
saw one more resigned to the viii Of God
than he. No word Of complaint was ever
heard from his lips. He expressed only
one regret, and that was that he had not
been spared to preach more. He ex-
pressed desire go depart and be with
Christ" A new Bible, which he had
ordered, did not arrive until the day he
died. He gave it to his father, Rev. c..
B. Hollis, and said, 81 will never use it,
| want you to take it and use it fer both
of u.s." None of the family we're pres
ent except his father.
The remains were carried to keachie,
La, for burial, that being the home of
his parents. Sc.
Our prayers and sympathy are extend
ed to the heart-broken family, and es-
pecially to the fair young woman who
had for four years been engaged to him.
A few hours before he went home he
said, 81 am going home 20 Jesus. don't
know why He has called ne so soon.-
But will know by-and-by."
To the many friends, we would say,
"Be ye also ready"

THE PAPER OF THE PEOPLE,
FOR THE PEOPLE AND
WITH THE PEOPLE.
HONEST IN MOTIVE
FEARLESS IN EXPRESSION
SOUND IN PRINCIPLE.

A newspaper is an educator; there are
~ all kinds of educators, but the ran
who spends money judiciously and lib
orally is better able to impart his knowl-
edge than the man who has little or
nothing to spend.
The SUN is the highest type of a
newspaper.
The SUMS Special Correspondents
throughout the United States, as we'll
as in Europe, South Africa, China, and,
in fact, all over the world, make it an
up-to-date newspaper.
The Market Reports and commercial
features put the farmer, the merchant
and broker in close touch with the mar
kets at Baltimore, Norfolk, Charleston,
New York, Chicago, Philadeldia and
other places which are prominent centers.
From now on the news of the world
promises to be more interesting than
ever before and national and political
questions will arise, making probably
the most eventful period in the country's
history.
This, together with the corps of editors
and reporters at Baltimore, Washington
and New York, make the Sun invaluable
to its readers.

Grand Jury Report.

To the Hon. Justice J. T. Wat
kins, Second Judicial District
Court in and for Parish of Bossier,
State of Louisiana: We, the
Grand Jury Of above Court, re-
spectfully report that after due
diligenceand deliberation we have
found thirty-one bills of indict-
ment; have ignored twenty-one
! cases, and have continued OK er
one case charged with murder,
because we were unable to obtain
any witnesses. Seventeen cases,
all of which are of minor impor-
lance, we have left over because
we were unable to obtain sufficient
evidence.
Owing to circumstances, we
have been enable to make diligent
examination of the several offices
and the Jail, but judging from
cursory view we find everything
apparently all right.
We desire to call attention of
the public generally to the law
prohibiting the obstruction of the
public roads and the drainage
thereof.
We desire to thank the District
Attorney, the Judge and other
officials, for uniform courtesy ex-
tended to US.
We respectfully ask that our
report be received and we be tenn
porarily discharged.

Death of Mrs. S. S. Cabeen.

Mrs. Sarah Susan Cabeen died
at her home in Benton at 8:45 p.
m, Thursday, January 81, 1901,
aged go years, 8 months and II
days.
She was a daughter of Dorothy
and Aleck Thompson. Jr., and
was born in Fairfield District, S.
c., April 10, 1910, and married to
Walter Brice Cabeen January IS,
1859. She came to Bossier par
ish in 1866, living here until her
death. Mrs. Cabeen was the
mother of eight children, only
two of whom survive her.
In attempting brief tribute to
the death of this estimable lady,
our humble pen proves to be in
adequately endowed to express
the high regard in which she was
held by all who knew her. She
was a lady of the noblest charac-
ter-a gentle, patient and deyout
christian woman. Her sclf-sac-
rificing devotion to her home and
the cause of Christ We're worthy
of all emulation. Her home was
a model christian home. Her
life was ever beautiful and her
death serene as summer sunset.
Mrs. Cabeen seemed formed for
gentle and refined society, and
always shone most brightly in her
own charmed home, where, with
kind hospitality she entertained
SO generously. She loved her
friends, and being exceedingly
charitable in all her thoughts and
actions, she never had any criti-
cism to offer about any one, but
always had a kindly and encour-
aging word. Her religious life
was bright and clear. She was
in every sense beautiful saint
of God. Hers was 1.-The path OF
the just" and her end great peace.
Few of her thoughts were given
! to herself in any relation of life,
but her constant care and unceas-
ing toll were to the last Of her
eminently useful life poured out
lavishly for the comfort and hap
piness of those about her.
An adored mother and fond
sister is gone, and our heart aches
for the desolate jewellers in the
home which she frightened and
adorned. She leaves two daugh-
tiers, Mrs: w. E. Ivey and Miss
Dollie Cabeen; one sister, Mrs.
Mary Randolph; two brothers,
Messrs. j. B. and A. R. Thomp-
son, and other relatives and many
friends to mourn her death.
In moments of such sore afflic-
ton we know that the sympathiz :
ing words of friends have NO
power to heal the wounded hearts,
and that only the healing hand OF
time can assuage the sorrow
Our tenderest sympathy goes out
to those who have been deprived
of earth's greatest jewel-a moth :
er's love-and to our valued and
esteemed friends who have suffer-
ed the loss of the love and COM
partnership of a loved and adored
sister.
MIS-. CaDeen was buried IN
Cottage Grove cemetery Friday
evening. The services were con-
Quoted in a most solemn and i'm
pressive manner by Rev. w. A.
Zeigler. The large assembly OF
sorrowing friends and relatives,
and the touching manner in which
the services were conducted, COM
bined to render it one of the most
impressively beautiful services
ever held at that place, and was
indeed a fitting close for such a
pure and noble life.
