Moses Green, one of the best
known colored men in this section
OF the State, died suddenly at bis
home In Opelousas on Tuesday
night, December a, aged 60 years.
Green was a prominent factor in
st. Landry politics, and held sever
al offices during the negroes palmy
days in this parish, among them
an alderman OF Opelousas. Un-
TIL recently he was chairman Of the
Republican Executive Committee
OF this parish, and member of
the State central committee. But
Nose never forgot that he was a
colored man; he was at all times
polite and respectful. Nose was
good man, and his death is regret
ted by white as well as black.
Christmas was celebrated in
the usual manner, but on smaller
scale, in Opelousas, this year. The
boys tanked up Christmas eve,
bromo-selzered Christmas morn,
jollified again after dinner, and
unanimously agreed next day that
they were all glad Christmas was
over. Ofcourse this unique way
of celebrating the birth of Our Sa-
yior was confied to the young 'uns
and few older ones who got into
that habit when they were young
and innocent. The sedate and the
religious. spent the day at church
and at tho fireside; the little ones
prattled and talked Of Santa
Claus--and thus the Great Day
passed away In 0pelonsas.
