Death of a Veteran.

Death is slowly but surely
making wide inroads into
the ranks of the survivors of The
Lost Cause. Mr.. J. E. Stron
passed away at his home near Re-
hoboth on Wednesday evening
last, joining his comrades in that
better land. At the tender age OF
fourteen he shouldered his mus
ket iu defense of his country, max
ing gallant soldier. Mr.. Strom
had been in i'll health for more
than a year. Prior to this physi-
cal decline he was a member of the
state constabulary force, ever faith
full and conscientious in the dis
charge of his duty. The name
Strom has for many generations
been synonym for honor, integ-
rity and citizenship of the highest
type. The life of the deceased has
added to rather than detracted
from the prestige that clusters
around the name. Mr.. Strom is
survived by an affectionate wife
and seven devoted children. For
years he was a member of Reho-
both church where he was buried
on Thursday afternoon, his pas
tor, Rev. j. T. Littlejohn, officlat-
ing.

Merchants Grocer Company, Ltd.
Capital Stock H!5O.OOO Substan-
tial Business Men Org:,u-
iZe Company for
Wholesale
Trade.

Last Saturday evening a num-
Der of the most enterprising and
substantial business men of the
com munity met at the First
National Bank and proceeded to
organize a company to be known
as the Merchants Grocer Com
pany, Limited.'' The purpose
of the organization is the con-
Quoting and transacting a whole
sale grocery business, the town
of Lafayette being chosen as a
base and distribu ling point. 1t
compete for the business of
and considering the exceptional
facilities possessed by Lafayette
in the way'Of transportation and
geographical situation, the ener-
gy and integrity of the men who
are directing the management,
it needs no prophet to foreten
the success which will most as
suredly crown the efforts of the
promoters.
The capital stock has been
fixed at $4,000, and the entire
amount has been subscribed, so
that the company will lose no
time in securing suitable quar-
ters and entering the field i'm
as one of the most pO-
tent factors in the development
of Southwest Louisiana, and of
Lafayette in particular. All en-
terprises of this character
be encouraged and we
trust that ere long business
men and capitalists of the COM
will enter into other ave-
nues of trade and possess what
belongs to pluck and
energy. Thousands Of dollars Of
home capital are lying idle in
bank or Golfers, while other
towns and cities are reaching
out in every direction and seiz-
ing business from under the
very noses of local business men.
How long this will continue
depends upon the spirit and en-
terprise of the community. The
of the Grocer Com
pany will no doubt stimulate
others and give an impetus to
business in general that will re
dound to the lasting benefit Of
all concerned, as we'll as promote !
the general prosperity.

duly elected: Felix Demanade, !
