Again are we called upon to
record the death Of one Of our old
est citizens, William Louis Brown,
late proprietor of the beautiful
Interlaken plantation, and of Co
roma, where he died. MIR. Brown
had been II resident Of this parish
for many years, coming here from
Tennessee. He was man of
sound convictions and honest in
tentions, and was in every sense a
worthy citizen, whose influence
was always cast for the right in all
things. A man universally be-
loved by all whose fortune it was
to be acquainted with him. He
had reached the limit Of mans life
and his ripe years were his crown
of glory, passing the allotted three
score and ten. He died surrounded
by members Of his family, in the
full hope Of blissful Immortality.
His funeral was attended by his
many friends from the Episcopal
Church, Rev. G. G.. Kramer Off
ciating. We extend to the sorrow
ing family our hearty coincidence.
The poor mans friend. Every
thing sold at the lowest price for
cash. -NOah's Ark.

good racing program among a
number of fast animals brought in
from the adjoining parishes. Large

purse of $500, which shows the
liberality of the managers of the
Park Association, and which will
draw good number to the grounds
to witness this match game.

Mr.. |. n. Satterfield has shown
us a sample of rice which Indicates
the great tenacity of life of the
plant. This particular piece Of
rice of about one hundred acres,
did not receive particle OF water
Tor months, and after coming up
to stand had precariOus exist
ence, reaching about six inches in
height, when it seemed to be dead
to all appearances. Some ten days
it was cut off close with moving
machine and the water turned on.
A most surprising growth is the
result now measuring about twenty
inches, fine stalky plants, which
promises to yield an average crop.
We give this as an instance Of the
great vitality of the plant.
