Tribute tothe Late Reverend Father
Pr. Parisot.
COMMUNICATED.

They 90 not part VINO part Ike liAs-
For God is everywhere. %
We 10 not feel that we have part
ed from the dear pastor who for so
many years ministered to our souls
wants, whose heart was ever with
his loved parishioners. whose mind
was ever active in devising plans
for their spiritual good. We say
to him adieu, and consign him to
that God who has care Of each of
Us on earth, 10 God to whom in
death he is united, after a long term
of faithful service.
1t is a sad reflection to Catholics,
especially to those Of the older
generation that the pioneer fathers
of the Brownsville mission have all
passed away, for Father Parisot is
the last to die of the band Of six
priests who in March of 1852 board
ed la Belle Assise" in Havre
harhor to cross the Atlantic for
Texas, and turned eyes of affection
ate farewell to beloved France, so
d ear to each human heart that beat
beneath their religious garb. Quot
ing from the opening page of Father
Parisot's recently published work,
i'The Texas Missionary" the part
ing is thus described:
'The ship leaves its moorings,
the cannon booms, the Ave Maria's
Stella is sung by thirty-fve voices.
The sacrifice is joyfully made.
Hilarem datorem delight Deus"
The other priests were the rever-
end Fathers Maurice Verdict, who
was the first superior the Browns
vile house and who was drowned
in 1853 at the laundering of the
Nautilus; Pierre Keralum, who
some thirty years since was lost
and died in the chapparal while
travelling between the ranches on
mission work; Hippolite Olivier,
who about eight years ago died in
Eagle Pass; Jean Gage, who died in
Roma during the COS; Etienne
Vignolle, who died last year in
Brownsville. In Eagle Pass lives
Brother Peter Roudet, the only
surviving representative of that
jealous band of French evangelists.
Father Parisot was first stationed
In Galveston sin the Episcopal
residence, a rather goor-looking
place, frame house of six or seven
rooms. p" Crexas Missionary For
three years following his work was
that of a missionary through Texas
and Western Louisiana. Of this
period he writes: II often slept
under the canopy of heaven in the
endless prairies and roadless for
ests." After these three years in
the saddle, he had three years in
the chair of mathematics in Calves
ton College. In October of 81 the
Oblate Fathers of Galveston were
ordered to Brownsville, where
Father Parisot remained but few
days, being removed to San Anto-
MO. He subsequently returned to
Brownsville, and his experiences,
apart from their religious character,
are interesting in the extreme.
Journeys into Mexico and along
the river during an era of troublous
times are incidents in this eventful
career. Writing of the mushroom
city of Bagdad, which sprung up
then, Father Parisot says 'it was
a veritable Babylon, a whirlpool Of
business, pleasure and sim"

WILL RENT ITS LIGHTS.
YaIdOsta Rescinds Its Action Reln-
tive TO Municipal Plant.

Valdosta, Ga. Jan. 10.-The city has
rescinded its action relative to putting
in its own electric plant. The Valdos-
ia Light and Manufacturing Company
had a bid before Council and it was
accepted, the price being SIS per light
for arc lights, the city to take fifty
of them. This price is for an all-night
service. and it provides that the cleo
trio light company shall make no raise
in the present meter price of mean
descent lights. The contract is made
for five years.
Mrs. Joyner, the mother of Metz JOY
ner, the boy preacher. has moved to
Valdosta, and the young evangelist has
entered the school here. He announces,
however. that he will fill engagements
to preach on Saturdays and Sundays
if any one desires his services in that
way. He is just IL years of age, and
has been prea ching for three years. He
began his evangelistic work in Indian
Territory, and has preached in FIVE
states. He is like other boys in all
respects, except that he is a little more
dignifed than the average boy, and is
of more serious disposition. He has
been to school only a short while,
though he is naturally very bright, and
his control of the English language is
worthy of a collegian.
Supt. w. b. Denham and General
Freight Agent Menzies of the Atlantic
Coast Line, and General Freight Agent
Cutler of the Georgia. Southern and
Florida road, were here this week in
consultation with a committee from the
Board of Trade regarding the rates of
freight to Valdosta. The officials agreed
that Naldosta was entitled TO a much
better rate than it is getting, and they
decided upon an immediate reduction.
The rate was not reduced as low as
was asked for but the officials say
they will go fully into the matter again.
and that Naldosta shall have all that
II is entitled to.
