En Naesnorfsalal,

Died, Thursday, May 2lst, Mrs.
PETER JACKSON, of Big Cane.
Once more has family been
stricken by death, once more has a
wife been called away; and once
has a mother,-aOh word that
makes the home !''-said "Good-
bye"
Tho, she was q faithful wife, a
Jealous Christian, long loving
mother, for years, when will the
time come when mothers voice
filled the home with music long
enough
The softest songs OF natures timid
creatures
The grandure of her landscape
The beauty of her midnight moon,
And, too, mans iabors great
All tire in time the eye
And fall unheeded ON the ear,
But never does mothers voice,
And e'en mothers sigh.
Fainter, tho sweeter, grows that voice
When times hand falls upon the brow
Twas thus when first mother was,
And unchanged tits thus now.
And thus twill be forever,
In nsunshine or in rain;
oh Heavenly Power, how just Thou art
To let us meet again
A FRIESD.

E.nprovea order of Red Men,

Messrs. r. f. Seiles, Organizer,
and Gland Henderson and Paul
Paugh, Assistant Organizers, for.

proved Red Men in Opelousas last
Friday and Saturday nights. Tho
membership numbers over forty,
but it is expected that by the next
meeting it will exceed sixty, as
applications are coming in thick
and fast.
The organization is one OF the
most popular in existence to-day.
| IItis the oldest American secret or
ganlzation, dating back to the time
OF the aborigines. Like their lands
and their forests and their eouri-
try, the red faces turned over their
great order to the pale faces and
the onward rush of civilization.
THE irresistible march of the pale
face even robbed the great children
Of the forest OF their superstition
and traditions-ssciencep not even
sparing the sanctity Of the graves
of the dead warriors. But, it was
all in the interest of civilization"

must accept 1T as such.

The attempt to sneak out of the responsibility of
the high handed deal and charge it to republican
board, when the board stood five popust to two re-
publicans is contemplate.
1t was pop deal from first to last.
Who knows but that it a deal cOnnived by
the pop board sheriff and treasurer the quiet for
the purpose of creating milage for the sheriff and
fees for the treasurer
